The onenil misinidoi'statiding' has heen en hanced by erroneous statements made and published in so-culled now'spano ! S The city attorney and tieasnrer have heen wrongfully charged with derelic tion of duty and unfairness in enforcing the nrdiiianccs in that seine hitsino'ss ' men have paid while others have libt and no steps have been taken to compel them to do fao. It hhonld bo renicmbeicd'tliat tlio levying of an occupation tax is new to this city and consequently its practical workings are hut little nndei stood bj the people generally. To clear the mat ter up a icpresontativo of Tin : Kuic has collated a history of thooidiminceslevj- ing the tax. iirconneetion with the pow ers and duties of the city ollicials in col lecting the biime , together with miprcmo court decisions hearing upon the legality or constitutionality of the ordinances. Ordinance No. ; t"0 , providing for a tax on all occupations oxoopt that of BaU'ion- keeping , was pabs > ed May ! ) , 18)2. ! ) ap proved May 10 and went into olTect Juno 1. The tax on the various occupations as speoiiied therein was to becoino delin quent July 20 or fifty days after itb appioval and publication the Bamo as other takes. The manner of collecting the tax is llxed by law the same as in the collection of regular countj and city taxes. It is true that the oidinanco provides a penalty for noncompliance , but the penal olaiibo has been declared void by numerous decisions of the United'States supreme court and cannot bo enforced. Inste.id of a single ordinance covering all lines , of business including paloons , iis most pojplo th nk is the case , the Miloon ordinance is a boparuto and dis tinct instrument. I'reiiIMons ot the ( It dlnanci . Oidinanco number il ? . " ) , passed and ap proved April 20 , imposed a special tax of $200 on each saloon , keeper in the city , the t-siino to go into otieot May 1 of each jetir. A protest from t-aloon keepers , followed by a petition to the city council asking that the lax bo re duced from $200 to $100 on saloons and an agreement that if the reduction was made they would all pay up promptly , lObiilted in the passage of ordinance number 108 , providing for the i eduction asked. The hitter was passed August 1(5 ( and went into cilcct August 17. Neither the original saloon ordinance nor the subsequent amendatory ono pro vides for collecting the tax. Neither is it necessary that they should , as that is piovided for by statute. VVIi } Collect on U Drlajrd. It has been asked why the ponaltj for nonpayment w as not made a t evocation of the license , and the answer is that if the payment of the occupation tax had been made a condition piece- dent to the issuance or i otention of a license the proceertw could not , by law , have been used for city purposes , but would have gone into the school fund. The fact that a portion of the business men in all lines have paid the tax and others have not cuts no llgiiio , as the collection will bo pushed as fast aprac ticable. Seine have held hack because they had a doubt of the legality of the tux or the validity of the otdinanco. In looking up the matter a number of decisions of the United States supiemo court were found passing diioctly upon that point , and everyone sustaining sim ilar oidlnances. Suits have been brought from time tu time bj parties in various cities in the state , and in every case the ordinance stood the test of the highest court in the land.

It is the Intention of the city lien- urer , In collect Ing the b.ilanco of the oc cupation tax to proceed the same as In the collection of other tjixfi. by levy , and If wrong the taxpayer can huvo re course In the courts. A bone of contention wl h some has been that telcgttiph , nillroad and ox- iiress companies refuse to p.iy the tax. The courts have long slneo de. idcd that an ( ccupatlon tax c.innot bo enfoiced against an intoi state business. Not less than twenty decisions of the United States supreme court are cited on this point. The facts then are that the oidiuaneo is legal and the tax collectable bydt-- tress and t-ulo the satuo as other t'avoH , but that the penal clause is void. Deiooi ruin in Ctitie us.
