the Article above referred toss'No)sub-
sidy, charge, impost tax o. duties shall
be, established, fixed, Laid or levied, under
any pretext Whatsoever, ,oithoa. the con-
sent Of the people, or their representative

If this license law 10 unconstitutional,
it must, under our last citation, be for
one Of two reasons, either, first, chat
the Legislatqrei 10, not tho 1epresentasiy Q
of the people, or Of, second, .ha. the Leg!
islature, although the representative OF
the people, was not lawfully assembled.
|. In. either OF which cases, and from
the further fact that the Constitution
nowhere specifically oonfers upon the
Legislature the right to punish or pro-
vent crime, all existing laws wherein the
General Assembly has exercised that
prerogative are equally unconstitutional.
It would be difficult to find case
where legal counsel have more clearly
established their claims to "eminence"
than when the above form of protest
was so carefully and guardedly offered
as mere "suggestion"-too ticklish and
dangerous a thing to appear ovef the
signature of any one Of all the many
profound lawyers Of the Charleston bar.
The law is ih force and is lao, and we
see now no use in discussing, either
favurably or uufavorably, tho advisa-
bility or propriety of its provisions,
aside from tho legal questions involved.
We recognize, however, as both just and
true, the plain, patriotic announcement
of the Constitution that "Each individ-
ual Of society has right to be protected
in the enjoyment Of life, liberty and
property according to standing laws, and
should therefore contribute his share to
the expense of his protection, and give
his personal service when necessary"
Viewed by the light of this automatic
declaration we SEQ no reason why pro-
fessional men, bankers, corporations and
others should not, at last, be compelled
to pay some part of those governmental
expenses which are incurred for the
protection aud we'll being of all classes,
but which have hitherto been borne
almost exclusively by the quiet, patient,
hard-working farmer and land.holder.

The Orangeburg news. [volume] (Orangeburg, S.C.) 1867-1875, 1872-04-06

majority ON joint ballot is 80; last year
it was "a. Another for Grant,!
The Charleston NeDs of the 1st inst
ant publishes the following form Of
protest, which, it says, was suggested by
eminent legal counsel, against the
iniquitous license lay"
"CHARLEsToN,-day Of, 1872.
I hereby give notice to the county
treasurer that the license fee required
of me under the act to provide for
general license law is paid under protest
on the ground of illegality, snd under
duress or threat and fear of criminal
prosecution and pain of Imprisonment;
and that an action will be brought
against the county treasurer to recover
it back. The grounds arc
/. That the constitution has not
delegated to the Legislature any power
to establish general liconse systom,
and all powers not delegated remain
With the peopls.
g. That the license fees are taxes in
disguise, and arc unequal aud wanting
in the uniformity prescribed by the
constitution,
B.. That the only tax allowed by the
constitution is proportional tax on
property and poll tax not exceeding
one dollar per head, and it is provided
that this tax be annual and in pursuance
of q law stating the object or objects to
which it is to be applied, all of which
provisions are violated in the licensc
act" - ."'-
Now this "form" may have been "sug.
gested" by eminent legal counsel, for
men are frequently willing to suggest
what they are unwilling to support (for
instance Ku Kluxism,) but we have yet
to learn that any gentleman of the bar
has so far hazarded his professional re-
putaiion rs to say, coolly and advisedly,
that these grounds of objection arc sound
in law. We assert, confidently, that
they are not The protest is based, prin-
cipally, upon the fallacious assumption
that the demand Of fee, for permission
to do an act, is identical with the impo-
sition of tax upon property. No
greater mistake is possible. For while
the Legislature is, by general provisions
of the Constitution, limited, to a certain
extent, in its power to subject property to
aIIis.vsai lu.So.:a lu. So.:a, IL 5oa!=ci c-c- .he
action of tho citizen is absolute, save
where specifically restrained by the Con-
stitution of the State or of the United
States. Ana this appears clearly by the
provisions of Sec. Al Art. of the State
Constitution, which declares that "the
enumeration of rights in this Constitu-
ton shall not be- construed to impair or
deny others retained by the people, and
all po,eers not herein delegated remain
,oih the people,"
The Constitution in no way deprived
the people of the right to Impose
license fees, and thnt right they, through
their representatives, the Legislature,
have exercised.
So far as the protest is against what
is charged to be an attompt at indirect
taxation-and having special reference,
we suppose, to those SECTIONS Of the new
law requiring liccnses 70 be paid for
the use of property, rs in the cases
Iof banks, railroad corporations, phos-
phate miners, &c.--it is evident that
the "emineut legal counsel" must have
ocen restrained from putting their
