General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

White River Lumber Company v. Arkansas ex Rel. Applegate No. 101 Argued January 7, 8, 1929 Decided May 27, 1929 279 U.S. 692
ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT OF ARKANSAS
Syllabus
1. A state statute authorizing the collection of back taxes on lands which, through inadequate assessment, have escaped their just burden of taxation is not invalid under the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment because it is limited to the recovery of such additional taxes on lands of corporations, and does not extend to the recovery of such additional taxes on lands of natural persons which may likewise have been assessed at an inadequate valuation. P. 695.
2. A constitutional question which does not appear by the record to have been presented to, or passed upon by, a state supreme court, but which is raised for the first time by the assignment of errors in this Court, cannot be considered here. P. 699.
175 Ark. 956 affirmed.
Error to review a judgment of the Supreme Court of Arkansas which affirmed with modifications a judgment of the state chancery court assessing back taxes and declaring them a lien on the land taxed.
