Miller, treasurer of the city of ITuntingburg, Dubois county; August Mernenger, treasurer of the city of Tell City, Perry county; and John McDonough, treasurer of the city of Evansville, Vanderburg county.

The complaint was to enjoin the enforcement of certain taxes assessed upon valuations of appellant’s railroad and rolling stock, made by the State Board of Tax Commissioners pursuant to the act of March 6, 1891, Acts 1891, p. 199; E. S. 1894, section 8408 et seq.

The lower court sustained the demurrer of the appellees to the complaint, and that ruling is the only assigned error.

The questions presented in this case are as to the powers, duties and privileges of said board, and as to the constitutionality of said act, and are identical with those considered and decided in Cleveland, etc., R. W. Co. v. Backus, Treas., 133 Ind. 513; Indianapolis, etc., R. W. Co. v. Backus, Treas., 133 Ind. 609; Pittsburgh, etc., R. W. Co. v. Backus, Treas., 133 Ind. 625; and, as confirmed by the Supreme Court of the United States on day of May, 1894.

Filed June 20, 1894.

Upon the authority of the cases cited, the judgment of the circuit court is affirmed, and the restraining order, heretofore issued by this court herein, is dissolved.
