IWELlSCASE WAS
A DRAWN D I \. !! BATTLE
Supreme Court OF Appeals Did
Not Toucl, Constitutionality
Of Sunday Law.
DISSENTING OPINION BY ONE.
Fine for Keeping lakewood Open
OIL Sunday Is a Civil
Matter.

The case OF Jake Wells against tho
Commonwealth VENT up to the Supreme
Court OF Appeals for the direct pur-
pose OF getting construction from
the highest court In the State on the
Sunday observance law but 1t failed
OF it's purpose. a majority Of the
court, Judge White rendering tho de-
cison, decided in favor Of Wells, aud
believed him of the payment of u small
dne of 81, imposed on him for running
lakewood on sunday, but did not toucl,
OF the Code. which Is known as the
Sunday observance law. The lower
court was reversed In Wells's favor
purely on d comparatively minor point.
The law still holds good, and arrests
can ana will be made of any violations
OF section S799.
Judge Whlttlc said that the only as
signment of error which demanded
the attention Of the court questioned
tho correctness of the trial courts
action in overruling tho motion Of
Wells to qaash the warrant, on the
ground that the forfeiture imposed by
the statute can only be recovered by
civil action. III the opinion OF ma
jority Of the judges, which Judge Whit
tie rendered, it Is stated that If the
violation of the statute con stitutcs u
mlsdemcanor. justice OF the peace
has jurisdiction to Issue criminal
warrant against the offender; but If a
4 breach Of the statute is not n mis-
demeanor, the forfeiture can only be
recovered by civil warrant. Proceed
Ing to a consideration Of the statute,
1t is said that It does not in terms
declare that a violation Of its provi-
sions shall be a misdemcanor; that
the language, "any Judgment" used
Is applicable to n civil case rather
than to q misdemennor, where the
term Conviction" would be more up-
posite; and that the expression that
the appeal shall be proceeded in as
appeals In misdemeanor cases" would
not only be inappropriate If applied to
misdemeanor, but indicates con-
scious knowledge on the part Of the
Legislature that the accused already
has the right of appeal in that class
8 OF cases.
The decision, in n nutshell, Is that q
violation Of section 3799 is not mis-.
demeanor, but that the forfeiture which
1t prescribes must be recovered by
civil procedure instead of by q crimi.
nal warrant.
Judge Buchanan handed down dis.
senting opinion, in which he declares
that section 300 has always been re.
garded as "a criminal statute, ant
should be so regarded now.

Standard of Value.

Nothing is sounder than the pro.
vision of the new tax laws, that all
the property shall be assessed accord
ing to its true and actual value. A
good deal of sport has been made Of
this provision. Sarcasm and ridicuie
are very often used when its users
have no valid argument. 1t was so in
this case. The argument in the re.
port of the Tax Commissioner of 1901
on this provision is conclusive, but |
have since fund that this basis hal
been urged by some of the soundest
and sanest writer's on the taxation
question. The true and actual value
simply means the market value-the
price at which the property would sell
in the market upon the terms and
conditions upon which the property
in question is usually sold. 1t elimi.
mates all fictitious or Fictitious val
ues. Taking the market value as the
basis does not necessarily mean that
all property shall be assessed on thnt
basis. II It is assessed at one-haH
of that value, till It Is on that basis.
and still it is uniform assessment,
but one great advantage of assessing
all property at It's full value is the
reduction in the rates of levy.
Change of Assessment Year.
Taxation cannot be equal unless all
property is equally assessed. Hence,
the fundamental Importance of prop.
err assessments and of good and CT.
pable assessors. Assessors do not
have time, as the law now is. to maze a
proper assessment, and this trouble
will be aggravated after 1908, when
the assessors will make annual as
sessment of real estate as we'll as OF
personal property, and we should not
think of giving up the annual assess
ment of real estate. 1t is practically
as important as that of personal prop.
erty. But the assessor should have
more time. This Is an imperative
necessity. A year ago the State Tax
Commissioner had an institute OF the
assessors. The attendance was re.
markable and the results were most
