“* * * * * * "Where tax assessments are unauthorized and void, they may be enjoined at any time, as where national banks and their stock shares are assessed in violation of the acts of Congress permitting national banks and their stock shares to be taxed upon prescribed conditions, ... or where a tax levy as made is not authorized by a valid law; or where, though a tax levy be duly authorized by law, the illegality of the tax roll because of affirmative wrongdoing by the taxing officials, and not mere incorrectness or specific instances of unfairness in the assessment as made, is duly shown.... But where a tax assessment is voidable and not per se void, as where it is made in good faith but is irregular or unfair, the taxpayer must move in due time and must make a full and clear showing of right to appropriate relief."”
