Montana Supreme Court sustains the regular 1933 income tax act but rules the surtax from the 1933 extraordinary session unconstitutional. The decision enjoins the state Board of Equalization from levying the surtax while the graduated tax remains valid, citing gross discrimination between taxpayers with similar net incomes.
