Syllabus

<p>Where railroad companies, complaining of systematic and intentional discrimination by a state board in the assessment of taxes, were allowed no remedy by the state law other than a writ of error from the State Supreme Court to correct only errors of law apparent on the face of the record prepared by the board itself, with no super- ■ sedeas pending review to prevent infliction of penalties on their agents for failure to pay the tax, held, that the remedy was not adequate and that the case was cognizable by the District Court in suits for injunction. P. 15.</p> <p>Reversed.</p>
