Denver.-The State Supreme Court.
in majority opinion written by JUS
tice White. upheld the right claimed
by the State Tax Commission to arbi-
trarily increase property valuations re-
turned by county assessors.
The decision was delivered in the
mand2mus proceedings instituted by
Clair j. Pitcher, county assessor of
Denver and oyerthrows every conten-
ton made by him.
Justices Garrigues, Gabbert and Hill
dissented in separate opinions. There
is no recall of the decision, as it up
holds the constitution OF the state, and
the recall may be exercised only when
opinions of tie court overrule the con-
stitution.
The main point made by justice
Whit in the majority opinion, which
was concurred in Dy Chief Justice
Musser and Justices Bailey and Scott,
was that
Values placed by assessors are not
conclusive and binding on the State
Tax Commission. Values of property
on which taxes are to be levied are to
be determined not by county assess
ors alone, but only in conjunction
with other officers and boards provid-
ed for the purpose of correcting errors
and inequalities in valuation as fixed
by the assessor, and to bring all prop
erty values to the legislative stand
ard
Whatever confusion has arisen or
may arise in the extension and col
lection of taxes growing out of the
questions here involved" the opinion
concludes, must be attributable to the
fact that local public officers have
failed and refused to obey the man
