Mr.. Burt Of Swanton opposed the bill
from a sense of duty. He thought that it
might be questionable whether the service OF
the members was worth TO the State any
more than two dollars q day, and yet if We
take our services on the ground OF loss oil
time and expenses they were worth much
more than three dollars even.
Mr.. Mason of Readsboro said0he thought

was worth more than enough to pay their
board, and he was willing to stand up man
fully and CLAIM all that honestly be onged to
him. lie hoped that gentleman would vote
honestly, and not vote against the bill 70,

others would vote in favor of the bill to pass
it.
Mr.. Hubbard of Stockbridge desired to ex.

the bill. He was in favor of Increasing the

Mr.. Rounds OF Chester thought that the

right direction. lie referred to the statement
that not more than h ,lf the property in The
State nov pays taxes, and said this bill met
the case aud taxed a Class of property that
can be reached in NJ oth-r way. The poor
man must pay taxes on every dollar that he

poor man. Th.se poor men-the laborers-

h rs been well said, that " 1t IS indispensable to
legal t0ration either in regard TO property or
persons in the same condition." Article 9th
OF the bill of rights of this State declares
that every member of society hath a right t.
be protected, and is bound TO contribute his
proportion (and his proportion Only) toward
the expense o. that protection. 1t is an un-
varying rule of taxation, both under the Ma.
tional a nd our own Constitution, thai /" the
levy must De uniform upon all property Of
the same class"
The State cannot, therefore, levy a TAX Of
one per cent. upon half the capital stock of q
corporation, aud a less or a lai ger amour,
upon the other half. Such and similar decis
L, De have been uniformly affirmed by the I'm.
tied States Court Under the act of 1851 q
tax was assessed upon the stock of the Yer
mont and Can ida railroad company appli
cation was made to the Uniteu States COurt
OF this Stale for an Injunction against tbs
collection of the TAX, and in October last, il
the case of Robinson against the State Treas
urer, that court decided the act unconstitu
tiOnal and void. As a conseq fence, the Stat;
has lCst the benefit of a tax on two millIopl
of dollars in value for the last five years. Th.
