THE CeTToS TAX.

and Constitutional.

Report OF the senate Commtaee on
n gudfefary ThR
Argue that b Tax D. EquRble
and constitutional.
In the United States Senate. On the
LIST instant the committee on the judici-
arr made the following report.
The petition uf the citizens OF DeSoto.
county, Mississippi asks the return Of
the tax on cotton for the years 1866 TO
1869 inclusive. on the grounds thar the
tax was unjust and oppressive, and be
cause II was unconstitutional. The
government OF the United States had
been obliged 10 raise a large amount OF
taxation 10 defray the expenses OF the
recent var. The properties and indus
tries Of the North have been heavily
taxed. and as cotton constitutes the
principal wealth Of the South, The CON-
mittee see no reason why q tax upon il
should be considered unjust or Oppres-
siye. The cotton tax has been claimed
to be unconstitutional for the following
reasons:
First, because II is equivalent to a d.
rect tax, and is not laid according to
p~oBalation. When the constitution was
framed the larger States we're careful to
provide that direct tax should be accord
ing to population, for fear that a tax
upon land BY the acre might impose
large and unequal burdens on them.
Hence, the constitution, article one, sec
ton two, provides that direct taxes shall
be apportioned among the several States
according to an enumeration made every
ten years. But the cotton tax is not a
direct or a land tax; it is a tax on the
production OF land; it is an excise on
cotton, severed from the land, 10 the
bale and by the pound.
Second, the tax is claimed TO be I'M.
constitutional, because it IS not uniform.
The eighth section Of article one pro-
yides that all excuses shall be uniform
throughout the United States. This tax
is uniform. II is the same whether the
cotton be in Maine or Louisiana. The
fact that cotton is grown at the South
and not in the North creates no want Of
uniformity any more than the fact that
manufactures which are found at the
North more than at the South renders a
tax on the products OF the Northern me-
chauic partial and local. Any one can
raise cotton, and as a matter Of fact
Northern capital ia invested in its pro.
duction. The excise is uniform.
II is said the tax is unconstitutional
because it is a tax on exports. The
ninth section Of article | provides that
mo tax or dhty shall be laid on articles
exported from any State" The fact
that any article may be or is largely ex-
ported does not make the article an
exported article" This is simply a
tax On cotton. The object Of the Con-
.stitution was to prohibit a tax on ex.
portation, and the tax is not that. The
committee, therefore, recommend that
the petition be not allowed.

one Of the old booksellers Of London,
