MUNICIPAL LICENSE TAX

The decree of Judge Hayne F. Rice,
upholding the right of the town coun-
Gil to levy a tax on cotton and cotton
seed buying, regardless Of the effort of
the general assembly to protect these
occupations from taxation, Is based on
that provision Of the constitution
which prohibits the general assembly
from making a special law where a
general law will apply.
The court holds in effect that since
the counties of Sumter, Clarendon,
Orangeburg and Greenville are ex-
empted from the provisions Of the Sec
tion in question, the whole section is
nullified, and while the court does not
say so, it would seem that If that be
true, there is left no authority upon
which occupation taxes may be levied
at all.
The court also holds that the gen.
eral assembly cannot prohibit the
levying of taxes on certain pursuits.
The question Of the obligation Of the
town council to levy all occupation
taxes on a bosis of gross income or
capital invested, as provided in the
statute, does not appear to have been
touched upon in Mr.. Brice's complaint,
and Of course the court iS silent on
this subject.
1t would seem that if Judge Rice is
correct in his view that the exceptions
in the section under consideration, are
unconstitutional, the whole section
providing for the levying Of license
taxes would fall. However, in a pre-
vious case, where these same excep-
tions have been held void, the balance
of the statute was left as general
law, and applying this view in the
present case there would still remain
the authority for the assessment OF
occupation taxes on basis Of capital
invested or gross income.
