LEGISLATURE TO TAX.
state Auditor Did Not Mean to Fore
cast Action of That Body.

DR.. b. f. Dixon explained yester-
day that he did not relish being rep
resented as making a slate" of taxa
ton legislation to be enacted by the
next assembly. 1t is well known that
when the legislature takes up the mat
ters of State revenue. it is a case OF
many men of manv minds and to pre-
diet the result in advance We're to as
sumo a task beside which the matter
of naming the Tuesdays on which it
Is going to snow is EMPIRICAL.
The recent publication in a local pa
per of DR.. Dixon's views with regard
To certain taxes which are now levied
by the State merely represented some
facts which will be merely Incidental
TO his report. In some cases in which
taxes produce little revenue and are
annoying to the people who have to
pay them. the Legislature will prob
ably amend the law and remove the
burden. DR.. Dixon, however, has
neither the authority nor the inclina-
ton to prescribe the acts of the Legis-
lature in these respects his duty end
ing when he shows in his report the
expenditures authorized and the oper-
alton of the various imposts laid by the
preceding body.

Here.

Mrs. Bridgers naturally ceased the

it aside until Mr.. Bridgers arrived.
After an investigation he promptly
concluded that the strange creature
was at least a species of the poisonous
snake-worm, which, as will be recalled,
created such horrible conditions in the
great cabbage growing districts of the
West some months ago, when innum-
cradle families were unconsciously
poisoned by eating cabbage contain

ARGUMENT ON REPORT.
Case OF Southern vs.. Greensboro Ice
and Coal Company. Attacking Cor
poration Commission to be
Argued To-day.

The case of Southern Railroad VS..
". c. Corporation Commiss on and the
Greensboro Ice and Coal Company
will be argued today before Judge
purnell on the report of Standing Mas
ter Jas. E. Shepherd, to W/om the case
was referred by order of court for the
taking of testimony and the finding of
facts.
Starting from what was a trivial
dispute the case became one of the
greatest Importance through the de-
fences which are set up by the de-
PENDANT company, attacking the con-
stitutionality Of the Corporation Com
mission on the ground that the com
misSioners. are given powers OF an
executive, administration and judicial
character.
In the beginning the litigation start
ed before the commission on COM
plant of the Ice and Coal Company to
force the Southern to unload coal upon
a side track which had been built and
used for the purpose.
It appeared from the evidence that
the railroad. claiming that the Coal
Company owed it $123 on some other
transactions, had refused to unload
the coal on the side track until the bill
was paid. it being matter of dispute
between the parties.
Upon the decision of the case III Ia
vor of the Ice and Coal Company, the
Southern, alleging that it feared &
penalty for non-obedience of the or
der. sued out an injunction before
Judge Purnell and the matter was then
referred to ex-Judge Shepherd as mas
ter 1t is in the injunction that the
question Of the constitutionality of the
act creating the commission is raised.
Judge Shepherds report was flee
some time ago. The facts found were
favorable to the view taken by the
Commission. the railroad fling many
exceptions to his findings.

THE TAX RATIO.
Constitutions! Require
ment Does Not Apply
to Cities.

The case of Wingate VS.. Parker.
from Rowan. which was recently de-
cided by the Supreme Court is one
of the most important and far-reach-
ing in its effects
The decision holds that the Con-
stitutional regulation of fixed ratio
between the rate of taxation on
property and the amount of the poll
applies only TO taxes levied for State
and county purposes and is not appli-
cable to cities. Municipal taxation
is to be governed, says the decision,
only by the charter or legislative en-
actment The opinion was a unani-
nous one and the exact point decided
mad never before been squarely pre-
scented to the court.
The NATURALIZATION case took on
an added interest from the fact that
the hundreds of employees of the
railroad at Spencer were all interest
ed in the result through their poll
taxes. Had the decision OF the court
been that the ratio as fixed by the
Constitution applied to cities and
towns the poll taxes of the spencer
wOrkmen would have been Increased
three-fOld.
Another way in which the case is
committee of aldermen is now en-
gagged in preparing proposed changes
TO the charter OF the city to be SUBJ
mitted to the Legislature In the
light of the decision as to municipal
taxation that is a question which it
viii of course be of the greatest inn
portance to have included in the char
ter's provisions.
Up 10 the time of the filing of the
decision it had been generally sup
posed that the ratio fixed by the Con-
stitution applied 10 all tax levies and
SO general was this belief that the
contrary was never before seriously
contenoed to the court Under the
Constitution the ratio fixed is that
the poll tax snail always be three
times as much as the tax per hun
dred dollars of property This ratio
it was thought must always be pre-
served in all instances. In towns and
cities which have sought to issue
bonds for public utilities there have
been many instances where the bills
authorizing the bond issues were
thought to be fatally defective be-
cause they did not preserve the three
TO one rule. The law is, however,
as the public suppose only so long as
the court is silent.
The unanimous opinion of the court
is learned and clearly reasoned and
was delivered by the Chief Justice.
