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
mandamus proceedings instituted by
Clair j. pitcher, county assessor of
Denver. and overthrows 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 the court overrule the con-
stitution.
The main point made by justice
Whits in the majority opinion, which
was concurred in py 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
date of the entire people of the state,
expressed through and directed by
their legislative will"
The opinion means that the $101,-
100000 added to Denver's assessed
valuation over the returns made by
Assessor Pitcher must stand.
1t also means that the total of $685.
000,000.00 added to fifty-seven other
counties in the state must stand.

is not too much to say that the admin
