This section is not violative of constitutional provisions entitling accused to hearing, trial by jury, and remedy by due process, and prohibiting excessive fines, cruel and unusual punishments and issuance of warrant without probable cause, and separating judicial from legislative and executive powers.
Provisions of this section requiring notice of tax delinquency before penalty is made final, granting taxpayer time to demand liability to tax and penalty be tried by competent court and authorizing taxpayer to appeal from final assessment made by state tax commission (now Department of Revenue) held to satisfy requirements of due process.
There was no legal right to a jury trial in tax assessment proceedings before boards and commissions when the Constitution was adopted so the right to jury trial originally placed in this section could be eliminated by the legislature under the 1953 amendment.
