BETEELEY DENOCEAR.
For the Spirit of ycfTerson.l
Arbitrary Power Versus Legis.
Iative Enactment.

The writer Of this article takes the
above caption in order to call attcn-
ton to n matter of vital importance
to the taxpayers. more particularly
those engaged in agriculture. The
question has been agitatcd in various
portions of the State. and the action
of the Governor and Auditor severely
criticised. Chapter ~. section 43.
page 1913 of Acts 1881, defines what
property is exempt from taxation.-
Ihes" exemptions have been the law
since that date, and is still! the law.
When that law WAS passed the Gov
crnor approved it. lie exercised no
veto and did nothing to call attention
to its uncOnstituiionaIity. The State
now, from some cause. seems to be
deficient in revenue, and there seems
Il desire to increase her revenue, but
in the manner proposed. both illegal
and unconstitutional. Now, l would
like to ask where The Governor gets
the right to interpret the law. and
when the right to nuIiify it? The con-
stitution defines the power Of the Gov
ernor, as well rs his duties, and he
has no moro right to attempt to CON
strUc q law than the citizen has. and
the only cours" for the taxpayer. is to
list his property rs lie has since 1881.
and if the ASSESSORS propose to carry
out the orders of this Grand M0gul
to enforce him from the performance
OF said action till such time rs the
Legislature shall repeal the law. or
the Courts decide as to its constitu-
ti0naE!ty. In note under list OF the
property for taxation by the Asses
sors. certain exemptions are only to
be made, as per decision of Court of
Appeals. But according to the judg-
mcnt Of the writer, these exemptions
amount to naught, for the reason that
the decision of the Court in the case
has been carried to the L. S. Supreme
Court. and till that tribunal decides
the issue. the action of our very au-
gust tribunal is void. What the pco-
pie wish, is JUSTICE.

Der Of deputies relative to the produce
ton Of cereals. II states that the yield
Of cereals In France has steadily
increased during the last thirty yesrs.
AT present the average yield per
hectare (245l acres) is equal to the
average yield In America. The import
alton OF grain from foreign countries
has tendency TO diminish the price,,
and thus the prices Of French products
are not regulated by their production
but by the maximum price obtainable
Ia France for cereals. Indian and
Americal cereals could be sold five or
six francs per centner Zoo pounds) un-
der the usual prices and consequently
they are able 10 bear n duty OF three
francs without resulting in any rise Of
the price.
