COTTON TAXES
FOR Old VETERANS
SUGGESTED THAT CIVIL WAR COT
TON MONEY GO TO VETERANS
OF SiXTIES-A BIT OF LEGAL
HISTORY.

Atlanta, Sept. 14.-There seems to
he a general misunderstanding thru
out Georgia and the south as to the
status of the money collected as a
cotton tax during the and immediate
after the Civil War.
The opinion seems to prevail that
this tax was held to be unconstitution-
al by the United States supreme court
and that the money collected, amount
ing to some $6S000.000. is still held
as a separate fund in the Treasury
Department.
AS far as the money is concerned,
there was not provision in the law
that it should be kept separate from
other moneys in the Treasury, and it
went into the general fund. AS to
the legality of the tax, the following
asr the facts:
In 1856 a Mr.. harrington of Mem
phis, Tenn, sought to enjoin the col
lector of internal revenue of that dis
trict, whose name was Saunders, from
collecting the cotton tax on the ground
that the law levying the tax was I'M
constitutional.
The court held that the tax was
Constitutional and the case of Far
rington VS. Saunders was taken to the
Supreme court of the United States
on December 6. 1867, On February
20, 1871, the supreme court decided
the case The vote on the decision
was evenly divided, four and four,
thereby sustaining the decision of the
lower court that the tax was cOnsti-
tutional
1t seems that at that time when
the court was evenly divided on a
case and no opinion was written, the
case was not included in the supreme
court reports. For this reason, the
case is not i'll the reports and is not
mentioned in the index digests of the
reports.
Many Georgians and southerners
have interested themselves in the mat
ter in the hope that they could secure
the return of the cotton tax collected
by the government. Some have sug-
gested that the money be returned
to the south in the shape of pensions
to Confederate veterans.
