JUDGE JONES HAS CAUSED PECULIAR
 TAX SITUATION
Appeal to the Supreme Court Cannot Be Reached Be- fore Date Set to Begin
 Collection of Taxes
By FRED H. GORMLEY Montgomery Bureau. The Age-Herald 22I-2 First National Bank Building

Montgomery, August 26.-(Special.) Alabama will have entered the next tax collection season before the su- preme court can receive the appeal of the state tax commission from the decision of Judge Walter E. Jones of fhr Montgomery circuit colrt holding that Section S4 of the revenue law of 1919 is unconstitutional and in- valid, and that there must be a con- plete reassessment of all property fol taxation for the fiscal year which be- gan October l, 1920.
 Judge Jones decision cannot te ap- s pealed to-the supreme court lt;i the first Monday in October, Yden the fall term will begin. The tax col lection season will begin Oc5Cber l. r. the supreme court upholds the de cision of the lower court the state and all counties will be de eor.,el of their revenue from ad valorem tax ation fov many months as it will be necessary to revalue the property after the time has arrived for the actual collection of the taxes. his will involve many months of hard work on the part of the s.lte tax commission, county tax adjus DTS aud other persons connected with the state and counties.
 John s. Mooring, chairman of the state tax commission. declined to dis cuss the decision of Judge Jones to- day. He merely stated that nothing would be done by the tax commission which is not in line with the routine until the supreme court has rendered its decision. It is the purpose of the tax commission to continue to oper- ate as it has in the future, and when October 1 arrives to begin the col lection of taxes for the fiscal year which began october 1, 1920.
 What Judge Jones Held
 Judge Jones held that section S4, which provides that the assessment for 1920 shall be the same as 1919 on all property personally inspected by the tax adjusters, is unconstitu- tional and invalid because the consti- tuition (section 214) says the rate of taxation shall not be greater than sixty-five one hundredths of 1 per cent, and that this rate is exceeded in cases where the valuation of prop erty has become less since the as- sessment was fixed for 1919.
 Harwell G. Davis, attorney general, announced that the state will appeal promptly to the supreme court from Judge Jones' decision which over ruled the demurrers of the state to all essential particulars of the bill The state contends that section S4 does not violate the constitution, that any taxpayer had the right to ap- peal from the assessment for the sec ond year if he so desired, and that the petition for mandamus which was brought by W. c. Braswell in this case was not proper because he had an adequate remedy at law and could have appealed to the board of com missioners or jury of his county.
