had each year to hold good, Is the
ruling of Attorney General Caldwell
to, inquiry upon the subject. He gives
as grounds for this ruling the reason
that the privilege of paying such taxes
by labor is a special p%roviso in the
general law, and is therefore ;n eX-
ception TO the general plan OF the
statute and that the general statute,
providing for payment of such taxes
In money obtains at all times unless
