for contrasting the ruling OF the United

Whereas. Tho Federal government.
through Its internal revenue department
and officials, is seeking TO impose stamp
duty upon the official bonds of the State
and county officers of this state. and Is
claiming the constitutional authority to
do so; and.
Whereas, The attorney general of this
state has officially declared that such
stomp duty upon official bonds Is an UNI
constitutional invasion OF the domestic
sovereignty OF this State. and amounts to
an Imposition aud burden upon the gov
crnmentnl functions OF the State and coun-
~ governments OF this State; and.
Whereas The Legislature concurs in the
correctness Of said opinion OF the attorney
general of this State and believes that the
assertion OF the authority OF the United
states to impose and collect stamp duty
upon the official bonds OF the officers OF
this State IL u palpable violation OF the
constitution OF the United States, and an
unwarranted interference with the quail
fications OF State officers and the lawful
exercise OF governmental functions by the
