Attorney General Filing Tax Claims.

Something new in the way of law
suits insofar as the Mississippi courts
are concerned, is being sprung by At
torney General Frank Robertson in
the shape Of appeals or assessments
against individuals fixed by boards of
supervisors and approved by the State
Tax Commission.
Suits Of this nature have been filed
in rs or 80 courties Of the state, and
more are forthcomeing In each
county the. attorney general employs
special assistant to help with the
prosecution Of the claims.
Authority for the attorney general
to institute litigation Of this characer
was given in the revision Of the as
sessment law Of the State at the last
legislative session The State Tax
Commission does net attempt, insofar
as personal property or land values is
concerned, to review each Individual
assessment, but only fixes flat stan
dard or basis for Jhe various counties
and. should # appear that the pro
perry of airy person has been placed
at a figure apparently 100 low, lile az
torney general has the right to appeal
to the circuit court, and the matter IS
there reviewed, and a decree issued
fixing proper value,
In many of the counties these APP
paals from the attorney generals Of
flee are coming as distinct surprise.
A batch of twenty cases was filed in
