exercises is obvious in principle as well
as in fact Tho first kind of tax Is and
always must he upon things and rights.
while the second Is and always must lie
upon the doing of something which each
person may do or refrain from doing at
his own will and pleasure. The land the
goods or the money of n member OF tho
community can not escape taxation by
q change Of ownership, for the tax ad-
heres to the thing or right. and whether
one person or another has IL Is Of no
consequence whatever. But with the tax
in the form of a duty or excise It Is
very different. In the case of duty it
is the voluntary act Of tho importer in
bringing into the country the goods that
fixes the tax upon him: and it IS the
same with excise taxes.
