The position is one that may be plainly

Hundreds of real Chinese and Japanese

ment in several important particulars.
It is, however, as the Court Of Appeals
has said in the case Of the Assessors
ys. the State, reported in 40 Maryland
Reports, PIP. 273-31l, the permanent
assessment and tax law Of the State. 1t
is different from and independent OF the
temporary or occasional general ass
essment law" such as was passed in
1854, again in 1874, aOhsch failed. and
in 1876. which was the last general ass
essment law. Nevertheless, article 81
Of the code is so complete law, in and
by itself, that it would have been quite
competent for the Legislature in 1874.
or in any year since 1874 or 1876, to
haye made it the basis Of = general re-
assessme Mt if 1t bad seen proper to do
80. This is clearly apparent from an
inspection of the law itself, and from
Chief Justice Bartol's opinion in Max
wells case, (that of the Assessors vs..
the State, } reported in 40 Md. Reports
p. 22s.
Under this law all property in this
State, real and personal, which is not
declared to be legally exempt from tax
alton, is intended to be assessed and
taxed. The exemptions are those with
which the publicis familiar, which haye
been granted by the legislature, whether
wisely or not, in all cases. is not now
the question, and whose validity the
courts have recognized. Whoever will
take the pains to examine this law will
certainly have no occasion to complain
that its provisions are not both compre'
hensiye and minute. Least Of all will
he see any reason to complain that, so
far as personal property is concerned,o
the INVISIBLE and intangible sort, such
as credits, stocks and bonds, there is any
favor shown or intended to be shown to
the holders Of such property.
The intention ofarticle 81 Of the Code
NAV in fact be said to be identical with
that Of the so called Hayes bill. viz, to
reach everybody and everything with
the advantage in favor Of the Code, that
its validity and constitutionality have
been tested, and sustained by judicial
decisions, and have been removed from
the category Of untried and experiment
tai legislation.
Furthermore, by the 18th section, Of
article 81, (act Of 1878. chapter 1857
the county commissioners and Appeal,
Tax Court are directed annually to cor
rect the assessment Of property In their re-
spective counties and the City OF Balti-
more, and to alter and correct the val
uation Of property which may have been
improperly valued, and to assess the same
at its true value, and to alter and correct
the account of any person whose prop
or any part thereof may have been omit
ted in the former assessment or may
have been since acquired. and y real es.
tate or other property shall, from any
cause, have increased or diminished
largely and materially IN value since the
last levy, they shall correct. alter and
amend the assessment Of the same as afore'
said. so as to conform TO ITS PRESENT
