Test; Plaintiff for lnJunc-

VICTORY FOR CARTER
AND PARKINSON, VIEW
They Voted Against Governor; Levy
Involved Sum In Taxes Agurc-
eating Million and Halt;
Won't Be Collected.

Oklahoma City. March 2S.-whe
1921 state tax levy OF ~ mills was
declared invalid IN a decision hand
ed down by the state supreme court
today
The opinion was given In the case
Of the El Reno Wholesale Grocery
company against the Canadian coun.
{, treasurer The grocery concern
applied to the supreme court for an
injunction against the county treas
urer preventing him from collecting
the state tax and the supreme court
in its decision granted the injunc.
tion.
Governor Is Defeated.
The ruling Of the court Is regard
cd as victory for State Auditor
Frank Carter and Inspector Frank
Parkinson, over Governor Robertson
and other members OF the state
board of equalization who voted in
favor of the ~ mill levy. Carter
and Parkinson opposed the levy.
The state board OF equalization
voted for levy after being informed
that there was then money enough
In the state treasury to defray ex-
penses for the year with the possi-
bility that there would be surplus
of $1,0O0,00O at the end OF the year.
Governor Robertson advocated pas
sage OF the levy so that the state
might have money enough on hand
TO care for appropriations which
might be voted by the state legisla-
ture which was then not in session
Soon after the levy was voted cor
porations throughout the state
launched legal attacks against it
questioning its legality. BY mutual
agreement among the corporations
the El Reno case was made test
and the issue carried to the highest
state court.
VIII Not Collect Tax.
The court in its decision today
also took occasion to define the
powers and jurisdiction Of the state
board of equalization. The court
defined the duties of the board as
q body that is to meet, compute the
expenses of the state according to
Legislature appropriations, add 20
per cent to this amount for delin-
quencies, substract money in the
state treasury and visible income
from all sources from the expense
amount and arrive at levy accord
ing to the remainder and the state
valuation The supreme court based
its jurisdiction in the matter on the
power granted it by the 1921 legis-
lature.
= The 1h mill levy amounted to
about $1,5O0.000 in taxes, 1t was es-
timated at the state treasurer's Of
flee. This sum will not now be col
lected under the court ruling.
The decision was written by Chief
Justice John B. Harrison. Court at
taches agreed that those who have
paid the tax without protest cannot
recover the sum expended. At the
state auditors office it was said a
large part Of the tax has already
been collected.
