133 P. 181 | Okla. | 1913
This cause presents error from the superior court of Pottawatomie county, and grows out of the action of the State Board of Equalization in raising the assessed value of real estate in said county 50 per cent, over and above the amount fixed by the county board of equalization for the year 1911. The defendant in error, plaintiff below, filed his action to enjoin the plaintiffs in error, being the board of county commissioners, treasurer, and sheriff, from collecting so much of the taxes on the real property of the defendant in error as was caused by the said raise. So far as the merits of the case and the remedy are concerned, they have been settled in this court, directly and in principle in a number of decisions wherein the same and kindred questions were involved, and it would be a useless labor to review what we have there said. SeeWilliams v. Garfield Exchange Bank, post,
In addition, however, plaintiff assails the constitutionality of the act of the Legislature under which the foregoing opinions have been rendered. Chapter 87, Sess. Laws 1910. We have examined the contentions made in this regard, but deem them to be without merit.
The judgment of the trial court is therefore reversed, and the cause is remanded, with instructions to dismiss it.
