DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

jackson, Mississippi.
Dear Sir:
Under date of November 9th
! have your inquiry as to what
effect, if any, the failure Of the
qualified electors Of the state ia
approve the proposed amendment
20 Section 112 Of the Constitution
of 1890 would have in reference
to the levy and collection Of
sales tax, and especially in refer
ence to Chapter 155, Laws Of
1886, making it mandatory that
persons taxed unedr the provis-
ions of Section &c, chapter 119
Laws of 1881, pass the sales tar
on to the purchaser.
/ advise that Chapter 1856, Laws
of 1886, requiring privilege tai
assessed and levied by Section 2-t
Of Chapter 119, Laws Of 1894, to
be passed on or collected from
the purchaser was enacted on
March 26th, 1886. The failure Of
the proposed amendment said
Section 112 Of the Constitution
would in no way affect, amend OF
modify the said provisiosn OF
Chapter 1856, Laws Of 1886. In
other words, said chapter was ef-
fective and valid prior to the cleo
ton to determine whether Section
112 would be amended, and in my
opinion said chapter Is still legaf,
valid and binding.
The constitutionality and vail
dity of the statutes levying sales
tax have been upheld by the
Supreme Court of this state.
Yours very truly,
GREEK L. RICE, Atty Gen.
By (Signed) j. A. Lauderdale,
Asst. Attorney General.
In connection with the above
opinion Of the Attorney General,
we are taking this means Of adj
vising the public that the Tax
Commission aid nothing what
ever to do with the proposed
amendment to which the opinion
refers. 1t was neither prepared,
proposed nor sponsored by the
Commission. The proposed
amendment had nothing whatever
to do with any existing sales tax
law. The plain English Of the
Attorney Generals opinion is
that the failure Of any proposed
amendment to the Constitution
cannot possibly affect the validi-
ty Of any law already on the
statute books. That is a matter to
be determined solely by the
courts.
A. H. STONE, Chairman,
State Tax Commission.

We see where the S a G
has bought 100000 sales tax
tokens in order to take care OF
the holiday trade. This brings the
total to 22,250,000 tokens purchas-
ed by the State since the law has
been in effect. Some people must
be keeping them for souvenirs.
We don't see why, though, for
they II be with us many years.

starting an excellent Christmas

Mabel Osgood Wright. We hope

heritage and we should not waste
them.
