The mandamus action against the board of tax survey faced dismissal as arguments framed the board as a vehicle for state tax commission appropriation. Warner’s counsel argued the bill would create a new department, possibly exempt from the constitution. Petitions of 10,000 signatures were filed May 28 and 3,000 more on June 11. The secretary of state deemed petitions insufficient and sent the matter to court. Supreme Court ruling awaited to allow referral before the filing deadline.
