that these increases. the same as

board without authority 20 make.

posing this contention is Attorney
General T.. s. Lesh and other state
officials who assert the horizontal
increases are valid inasmuch as they
contend they were legalized by the
Tlthul-Kiper biL and incidentally
were the same as those which had
been held illegal The lower court

cary for taxing officials 20 levy high

The taxpayers argument IN the
supreme court is that the Tuthill
Kiper bill contemplated a re-assess-
ment OF real and personal property.
and that none was made but on the
contrary the state board adopted
the horizontal Increases previously
made by it and invalidated by court
action. In reply the attorney gen
eral argues that no valuation OF
property was fixed In the first case.
and that the order enforcing the
horizontal increases could be void
on the ground that Il was "toO
hasty', being entered the day the
TUthill-Kiper biz was passed But.
