TAXING LABOR
Levying Licenses on All Occupations consti
tutional In Colorado

DENVER, Col. July 1.-The state SUI
preme court today handed down an opin-
ion that holds that the leviyng of a
license by the Denver city council on all
occupations is entirely legal.
In 1886 the council passed an ordinance
placing $40 tax on all street cars. This
amount was afterward increased to $25.
The Denver City Gable Railway COM
pany was tne hrst coIporatlon 10 re1use
nance. Its representatives were arrested
and fined and were ordered to pay the tax
of $25 on each car owned by them. The
defendants appealed.
Although the supreme courts opinion
does not specify directly what articles or
occupations the council may tax or
license. it is plainly inferred that the city
council has limitless power and may pass
ordinances compelling every line OF busi-
ness. trade or occupation to pay an an
nual license tax.
