[Vows and Courier.] i ! TKe decision ol the Supremo Court ol California, exempting mortgages from taxation, is ol great imporlauce [ as furnishing a precedent, bused oil J sound reasoning, iliul may lie adopted in oMtcr Stales, especially South Carolina. l ite opinion of the Coutt was deiiveied hy Jml^e MeKinslry, one | other Judge concurring. Two other ( .lodges hied eaeh a concurrent opinion, and another .Judge dissented.! The opinion is based on an interpretation ol the taxing clause ol the Constitution of California, which orovides I 1 ' ' " j 1 li:it luxation shall Ik* oi|u ?l ami uni- ! fonn throughout the Slate, ami that i all properly Khali he taxed in proporlion to it* value. l'ersoual property is defined by the Legislative Code to inelmle money, goods, chatties, am) ,;ilungs in action." Now, u nb s* i lie Const it u lion restrains ! the Legislature Iroin its endeavors to | tax '"ex lileiiees ol debt ami tilings in ! action,' not only mortgages, Inn debts, ! solvent or insolvent, and rights ol j action, whether arising ex contractu or j ex delicto, should be assessed and taxe I, thus involving an absurdity. The Court decides that since property must j be assessed ad valorem and proporl i ?u j ally, only tanginlc ami visible proper-' ly can he assesse 1. .Mortgages are not properly within the pervirw id j the Coiifelituliou. Rights ol action, even it assessed, cannot pay the tax;! the property encumbered must ulti- j mutely hear the burden, ami, having aliealy been taxed lor iiselt, is thus compelled t > submit t<? double taxation, which violates the Coustitution. , The Court also puts the ease where a J | tax is levied of one hundred per cent., I practically appropriating all the prop- ' erty in the Slate. Alter the tangible | property shall have been gat tiered in,! | "the evidences o! indebtedness" are shown to be worthless paper, having i I no intrinsic value. The Court also j uses another illustration: I It a debtor is fount! to In; tin* owner I j of $1,000, ami is assessed for thai sum, ' ami his creditor is toitml to he t he j owner of his note tor $1,000, am) is assessed lor a like sunt, ami it the day j Jitter the visit ot the as^eesor to the creditor the debtor shall pay his note, it is clear t lial t he' ante value lias been twice taxed, since I lie debtor has parked with ids money, and received only thai which is certainly not laxble pro pert y in his hands, ami which can imver afterwards lie assessed. When j a debtor pays his debt he does not yh- I struct or destroy any portion ot the taxable property ot the State; the! aggregate ot values remains the same. , Chu.d Justice W allace al>o decides thai mere credits are not property; and sa v>*: "It must result therefore '.bat mere uredils are a talse <{uantit y in a^eeit .lining the sum ot wealth which is suject to taxation as pro|>crt\ ami that, in so tar hs that sum is attempted to be increased by the addition o| those eredl*< Ill-muni ir l.n-atii.i. I" ' . ? |.i ?'.>? .VI IIIIAHIIMI, I I I I ? * I" (> II , is not only merely tauoilul, Imii neecxsaiiiy tu?* uneoslit ultonal i11111<*^ii ion ??t an additionul hu upon a |? >r(i< 11 ot l lie properly already once taxed. Tim* ; if there be within the State only one million ami a hall in actual maleri d ' wt tilth, Mini it there lie in addition a hail million of eiedit<, a tax ot one per con I. imposed upon the two millions thus made up * ill prove to be in reality a double iax upon that portion ot the one million and a halt j ol actual wealth which is represented a second time as credits; Irom which double tax the remainder ol the actual wealth, however, will escape altogether. To illustrate: let it he supposed i that it is shown by the roll thtl the one million ami a lull ot actual wealth ' is made tin ot one million tn goods i n am) one-hall million in money, and that the loan ot tin* hall million in money has created the halt million in credits. It will he seen that white the one million m goods is set dow n upon the roll hut once, the halt million ot * , money is set down twice lor the pur- ' poses ot taxation?once as money tn | the hands 01 the borrowers?again as money in the hands ot the lenders?-in the form ol ''credits'?that is to sav, ' the promissory given by the borrowers. The goods being represented hut once . are taxed hut once?the money, how 1 ( ever, being represented twice upon ' . I i i : - - 1 uie nsseshiiieiii-ron is i\s"oe tax?'d. |( This asm redly is not the erpntl uu- L lion ol property guaranteed by the , Constitution." I Judge Crockett's opinion in in the I instil the same :im ilie above. All the 1 judge*, however, seeili lo hoM that a * stamp lax on mortgages or oilier e\i- ' deuces ol debt would not be uucoiiNti- 1 tutional, because these are not to be: 1 considered property, and proportional ' taxation applies only to property. I ' The decision appears to be based 1 simply on the ground thai evidences ol ' debt are not property, and that an 1 assessment ol tln.m as property inipo- ? ses additional taxation on the prope rty j i encumbered, It strikes us that the <practice ol taxing mortgages, <fce., in , South Carolina is aa unconstitutional > 1 "V Jl V X .An Iiulepei VAY HO 110, S.
