PROCLAMATION ISSUED BY GOV. ERNOR REMlTTlNG 25 PER
 CENT PENALTY VOID.
DECISION OF SUPREME COURT
Held Governor Exceeded His Author. ity By Remlttlng Penalty Impos- ed By Statute Against Delin- quent Property Owners.
Little Rock

AlItI0 ROCK The proclamation recently issued by Gov. Brough remitting the 25 per cent penalty against persons delin- ouent in assessing their property for taxation was declared null and void by the Arkansas Supreme Court. The court held that the governor exceed ed his authority in remitting the pen alty. The court also held that the Arkansas tax commission possessed no authority to issue an order based upon the proclamation, because it's duty was solely to fix values. The opinion was in the case of w. G. Hut ton, collector, against H. s. McClesky, lessee of the New Capitol Hotel of Little Rock.
 The effect of general amnesty, such as was attempted by the procIa- nation now under review, would ope- rate as a suspension of the law, and would come within the spirit If not within the letter of the inhibition just Guoted," said Chief Justice McCulloch In summing up the case.
 In conclusion Judge McCulloch said: "We are clearly of the opinion, therefore, that the governor exceeded his authority in attempting to remit the penalty imposed by statute against delinquent property owners for failure to assess for taxation, and that such delinquents can claim no relief under that proclamation.
 Tt is too plain for argument that the state tax commission possessed no such power as it attempted to exer- else in this instance in relieving de- linQuent property owners from the penalty imposed by statute. The pow eres of the tax commission are limit
 to the fixing of values and do not extend to the relief of penalties ixu- posed by the statute. The judgment Of the circuit court is reversed ansl remanded, with direction to sustain the demurrer to the complaint"
