Taxing Charters.


BENJAMIN HADES. ESQ.,, OF Botetourt. one
of the best lawyers in the State. writes to
us rs follows. He makes short but con-
elusive argument to show that charters
granted by the circuit courts are not taxa
bic. We should like to hearfrom somebody
on the other side:
FIScAsTLR. Va, April s, 1890.
20 De Editor Of he Dispatch;
Ihaye read the letter Of Mr. Harrison in
your Sundays issue and your editorial
comment thereon. Ny examination of the
two acts referred TO imposing tax on
charters led me 20 the same conclusion
reached by Yourself and Mr.. Harrison. and
advised my clients that there was no tax
on charters granted by the Circuit Court
or the Judge thereof in vacation. The act
Of February 10, 1890, imposed a tax on both
classes OF charters, and specified uie amount
Of DE tar, and this was done altogether by
the first section. This section was after
wards repealed and its place supplanted by
net only imposes tax on charters
granted by the Legislature, aud
specifies the amount Of the tax.
The rule Of law is elementary that taxes
cannot be imposed by implication; In fact,
no sort of burden can be. But here we
tave the clearest manifestation OF the
legislative intent not TO tax charters grant
ed by the circuit courts, for that part of
the law imposing the tax on them was
stricken out on the 2sth Of February. 1890.
IL tax Is 10 be imposed on such charters,
what is 70 be the amount Of the tax? Ger
tainly not the amount specified ia the act
OF February 2s. 1880, for that is applicable
only to charters granted by the legsla.
ture. Certainly not the amount named in
the FIRST section Of the act OF February 10.
Only the first section Of the act Of febru-
ary 10th specified the amount Of the tax.
and that section has been repealed, and
the act Of February rs. 1890, not only does
not impose any tax on such charters, but
does not even allude 10 them.
