<br />EQUAL FORCE WHERE THE TAX IS A SPECIAL TAX OR ASSESSMENT FOR LOCAL IMPROVEMENTS AS WELL
<br />AS IN THE,CASE OF A GENERAL PROPERTY TAX A~AI~ST LANDS OWNED ~Y THE UNITED STATES. A
<br />SPECIAL ASSES~MENT Is A TAX WITHIN THE RULE PRECLUDING A STATE FROM TAXING LANDS OWNED
<br />BY THE UNITED" STATES, BECAUSE IT I~ AN EXERCISE Of THE SOVEREI~N POWER OF TAXATION ~ND,
<br />LI KE OTHER TAXES, I S AN INVOLUNTARY EXACTION.
