the final action of the Comptroller. The determination of the Com-
mission is prima facie evidence of the amount of the tax due, but
an appeal to the courts lies from the finding of the Commission in the
manner now provided for on appeals from said Commission in the
exercise of its appellate Jurisdiction and the provisions of Section 188
of Article 81 of the Code are made applicable.

The State Tax Commission is composed of three members, ap-
pointed by the Governor for terms of six years, one of the terms expir-
ing every two years. One member must be a resident of the Eastern
Shore, one a resident of Baltimore City and the other a resident of one
of the Western Shore counties. "Not more than two of said Commis-
sioners shall be of the same political party, and each of them shall be
a taxpayer and qualified voter of this State."
