The undersigned, ncintct- OF the Com
mittee on Claims il respect 10 Senate bill
No. 1884, for the relief OF Simeon Belden. At
torney General OF Louisiana. respectfully
submit q minority report.
In our opinion MI. Helder Is entitled TO
the relief proposed in the hill. IN section
1873 of the revised laws OF this State Tor
1879. it is declared that the Attorney Cen
era shal! receive i've percent Oh a.. amounts
collected by him. 1T appears n I'll. case
there was "A large and powerful association,
organized and Incorporated under :hc laws
of this State. which resisted the collection
of the one per cent tax IMPOSED by the
LEGISLATURE OF 1868: that. under the intlu-
encc OF that corporation III" yea! estate
owners OF the parish 81 orIeaI> resisted
the collection of said tax: and that there
Attorney General to enforce the collection
of said tax. all OF which were resisted by
said association as representing tac body
of real estate owners i'll salu parish: that
for the plrposc OF saving costs - taXpay-
ers. if jud .lncnt should be adverse 70 it,
the ATTORNEY Genera, and the said :,ssocia
ton agreed to make the ease o. Henry
Freilseu ct ais. ". +. {. Mahan. Stat" lax
Collector. Il test case. and that 10y the rll-
iuIa nj IN
case shoal, stand or fall i'll opposition
to the collection OF said tax. The Senate is
familiar with the decision oil :!o courts III
that case. IKE con>titutionaity of the tax
was sustained and all opposition to its col
lection WAS abandoned and a l.r.c revenue
was realized. i! the Attorney General had
insisted upon his right to multiply the salts
for the collection OF that tax. as he had
both the right and power to do, he would
have received the full compensation allowed
him by law, without the necessity OF any
act for his relief. The course of &C
ton adopted by the Attorney Genera!
saved to tie real estate owners ot the
parish the payment OF several hundred
thousand dollars in costs. l! was hepohcy
of Cancellation, economical alike to the
people and the State, ant: had It not been
adopted tie claimant would have received
the full compensation ne nov asks without
appealing to the Legislature for relie;.
For these reasons we report faEorably on
said bill apd recommend that it be adopted,
with the following amendment: In the -
section strike out the words 'slNty-two
thousand" and instead thereof insert the
words .'ifty-two thousand
