of the Department of Revenue for the assessment of omitted property, enter the name of
the person signing the statement as attorney for the department, and enter the name of the
county attorney as attorney for the state, county, school and other taxing districts for
which the commissioner of revenue is authorized to act as relator in such proceeding. The
county attorney shall appear and prosecute or assist in the prosecuting of the proceeding
in all the courts to which it may be taken for trial. If there is a judgment assessing the
property for taxation, the judgment in each case shall recite whether or not the county
attorney was present and assisted in the trial of the proceeding. When he is present and
assists in the proceeding he shall be allowed as compensation for his services ten percent

judgment. The state and county shall be liable respectively for the payment only of the
