or in other words the action of the Ysvapai County Board of Equalixa- ton in reducing the second time the assessment of the producing mines of the United Verde is legal or it is not legal.
 State Attorney General George Purdy Bullard who was sent here post-haste when the State Board of Equalization learned of the action taken by the local body. declared in an interview which appeared in the Journai-Miner yesterday morning that the county equalisers were "in wrong" and would have to back out of the puddle or face . mandamus proceeding. As the Cochise county supervisors lowered the assessment of the Copper Queen . million and a third on Monday last. they are in the same fix. The cut in the assess ment on the Santa Fe lands and the Baca Grant owned by Dr. E. B. Perrin would also be null and void in the event the attorney general was not afflicted with strabismus when he read the law governing the matter.
 But great legal minds can, and do differ, and that is what makes law suits and attorney fees. Now comes District Attorney P. w. O'Sullivan, and he is generally conceded to have about as much knowledge of Black stone.

He believes, however, that the board took this action without being aware that 1, was unlawful. and says that the supervisors will be probably ordered by the State Tax Commission to rescind their action.
 Mir. Bullsrd regards it as a re- markable coincidence that on the day the Yavapai supervisors made their second reduction, the Cochiss county supervisors lowered the as- sessment of the Copper Queen com. pany forty per cent which action likewise. he says, is illegal.
 The interesting question that arises out of this mix-up is. what action will the United Verde company toke' If it tenders it's taxes based upon its latest assessment. thu amount will be less than upon tn, first assessed valuation of it's prop erty.

SECOND REDUCTION PUTS
 SUPERVISORS TN A HOLE
(From Thursdays Daily)

(From Thursdays Daily.
 There is trouble brewing for the Board of Supervisors because of it's action on Monday in making a second reduction in the assessment on the producing mines of the United Verde Copper company. In fact. it looks as though the board will be forced to back water or be obliged to face a mandamus suit that will be instituted by the State Tax Commission unless the board humiliates itself by turning a somer- ssult.
 Indeed. the board is "in a hole" to put the case mildly. if Attorney General Bullard is correct in his contention that the supervisors had no legal right to make the second reduction.
 When the news of the second cut of a million dollars reached Phoenix on Tuesday there was great con- sternation in the office of the State Board of Equalization. for the state tax rate had been fixed the day before and 1t had been based upon the returns already received from Ysvapai county as we'll as from all of the other counties. IL is upon the aggregate of these returns that the state levy is made. and with Yavapai reducing it's assessment rol after it had already been turned in the state treasury would be shy so. 900 of what had been computed.
 Attorney General Bullard wa, hastily summoned, the situation wa, placed before him, and as a result he came to Prescott yesterday tt investigate. He found that at tn, July meeting the supervisors hat made a cut of 2s per cent or $i.i64, 300 from the assessment of Assessor Tom Campbell. and that on Monday August l9, it had made another GU of 2s per cent.
