past year alone. These endorsements
have come from people representing

that in this particular instance two

In this connection one Of. the best

full decision OF, the supreme court in
the case of Foreman VS.. Wheatlcy-

case. The Washington county board
of supervisors had-resisted the orders
of the state commission as to values
placed on property, and the constitu.

commission was assailed. The law was
held good and binding, settling the
following main issues:
The constitutionality Of the state tax
commission; it's authority to compel
supervisors to revise assessment
rolls; that the percentage of increase
is not to be applied to each assess.
ment, but sucn. percentage as will
make each assessment bear the same
proportion to their actual values, new.

creased as ordered by the state; any
county assessment can be increased
to that of the highest in the state;
supervisors deal with individuals, the
