Some time ago Attorney General Mullan, in response to an inquiry, rendered an opinion to the effect that printing and pub lishing companies muat be assessed like any other corporations. Some of the print ing companies In Des Moines and other cities ot the state were making the con tention that they should be assessed as manufacturing concerns and not as cor porations and that they should not be re quired to file with the assessors the sched ules ot their corporate business, especially where they are engaged In blank book making. It came to .he attention of the county auditor today that some ot the com panies have been claiming to assessors that the attorney general has reversed his de cision tn the matter.
