Important lax Decision.
The State Supremo Court lias rondorcd
a most important decision rotativo to
taxation. It holds that County Hoards
of Com missioners havo tho right to fix
and collect taxes for county purposes, or
in other words it holds "That tho power
to collect tho taxes for tho subdivision
of tho State is conferred by tho Consti
tution upon tho fiscal authoritios of such
subdivision whether tho tax was oroated
hy any act of tho Honorai Assembly or
by the said corporate authoritios under
an act of the (Sonora! Assembly."
Tho County Cnmmissionnrs of Oconco
imposed an additional levy of ono-half
mill for road tax. Tho Southern Hail
way paid under protest. Tho Circuit
Judge hold that tho tax loviod by* the
Count)' Hoard was illegal. ThoSupromo
Court reverses tho Circuit Court and
holds that the county has tho right, to
Impose an additional road tax to tho ono
mill for road tax already in tho Oconco
county supply bill as passed by tho
General Assembly. This question of
counties having thc light lo directly lix
and collect their own taxos lias often
been mooted and seems to be sustained
hy tho Supromo Court.
