whatever" Under the presen. char
Ter the city is authorized to collect .
general tax of as cents on 800, and
a special tax of so cents or 800 for
water works. (Under the present
charter the city did contract for an

Does the constitution of 1875 amend
and limit, the taxing power given us in
1872? The SUPREME Court decided
(7S Nc. 1889 that the intent to give
a constitutional provision retrospec-
! tive effect must be clearly expressed.
In that case Il corporation had a leg
islature charter, providing for single
voting of stock in cooperate elections.
A subsequent constitution provided
for accumulative voting OF stock at all
corporate elections. 1t was held that
the constitution did not repeal the
legislative charter. (see Al Mo. l57.)
If the constitution does rereal, and
some lawyers say it does, then the
direct taxing power is the same un-
der both charters. The NEW charter
has the advantage of increased licens-
ing power as mentioned in Sec. 1871.
The question would arise-will the
.ity exercise 1T 1t has failed to tx
rrcisc what it already has, as to drays,
porlers, restaurants, &c.
See sec. 1870 % Of article ILL of the
charter.
Another benefit is that Of obtaining
advantage of all litigation of other
cities organized under the new
charter, with a corresponding disad-
vantage of having said charter
amended by each Legislature at the
behests Of other cities.
Another advantage is that in suits
for taxes. the proceedings are the
same as In County and State tax
suits, a simpler procedure than our
own.
Under the present charter tie city
alone can license and tax ferries.
Under the ner, the county and State
can also license and lax.
