ASSESSORS CANNOT TAX
PROPERTY ARBITRARILY

In overruling the decision of the Geor-
gia supreme court upholding the validity
OF an assessment of back taxes for ten
years on 5000 shares OF the Western
Railroad of Alabama, foreign corpora
tion, the supreme court has laid down
rule which will upset the laws of many
states upon the taxation OF property upon
which the owners fail to make returns.
The rule obtains I'm numerous common
wealths that by falling TO make returns
the owner OF taxable property submits
himself to the doom of the assessor.
and is not entitled TO a hearing on the
validity of the assessment Measured by
this decision. such assessments are void
as denying the due process OF law guar
anteed by the constitution.
The cases at bar grew out OF a former
decision OF the supreme court with re-
gard TO the Western Alabama shares,
which were held by the Central of Geor-
gia Railway company and the Georgia
Railroad and Banking company as trus-
tees under the lease of the Alabama sys-
tenn TO the Louisville and Nashville for
a term of 80 years.

APPONAUG

Last Sunday the liquor laws in Warwick
were enforced, with the exception of one
district, more rigid than they have ever
been In the history OF the town. The eN-
ception was I'm Apponaug, where the
LIQUOR business is controlled by those
dealers who are considered the best OF
friends of the machine. Apponaug, which
has become known for its wide OPEN
Sunday liquor business, remains untouch-
ed as far as the enforcement of the liquor
laws are concerned. The new town coun-
ell started out with a firm determination
to give to the citizens of the town good
clean and honest administration. They
decided to hold the liquor complainant
officers TO a strict account of the liquor
laws. Why did the council not see TO II
that these officers visited Apponaug sun
dav In search of violations OF the liquor
laws? Is IL that the council is AFRAID 10
enforce the laws In Brayton's nome VII

forcement OF the laws gotten up for effect
only and is it to end after the licenses are
granted?

The comptroller-g general of Georgia
made demand on them for taxes from
1883 TO 1904. The companies refused 10
make returns on the ground that the
shares OF a foreign corporation were not
subject TO taxation. Taxes were assessed,
however, and the companies sought TO
restrain their collection by claiming dis
elimination I'm that the stsres Of domestic
corporations were not taxed; that under
the Georgia law they were denied
hearing and that the property itself was
taxed in another state. The Georgia
courts held that the taxes for the first
ten years were barred by the statute OF
limitations, but affirmed the validity of
the assessment from 1895 TO 1904.
The only question considered I'm the APP
peal to the supreme court of the United
States was whether the Georgia law
providing for assessment of taxes on
omitted property without hearing was
due process of law. The court held that
Il was not and that IL fell within the in
tention OF the Fourteenth amendment TO
protect property from such impairment
by state action.
