Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Cases on Taxation This was an assessment made by the assessor of the township of Princeton upon James Potter the prosecutor in the year 1851 for taxes, and removed into this court by certiorari. James Potter owned and cultivated a rice plantation in Georgia, which he considered his place of residence or permanent domicil; he voted, performed jury duty, and exercised the other rights of a citizen in Georgia, and did not in New Jersey. He owned a house and establishment in Princeton, in which he resided with his family and servants for five or six months in each year during the sickly season in Georgia. He was assessed in Princeton - first, for his lands and personal chattels situate there; secondly, for a poll tax of fifty cents; and, thirdly, for $200,000 of Camden and Amboy Railroad bonds owned by him. Green C. J. The assessment of a poll tax against the prosecutor is clearly illegal. The statute enacts that a poll tax of fifty cents shall be assessed upon every white male inhabitant of this state of the age of twenty-one years and upwards. The term "inhabitant," as used in the act and in the popular acceptation of the phrase means something more than a person having a mere temporary residence. It imports citizenship and municipal relations; and if the term were less unequivocal than it is, it could never be presumed, in the absence of the most explicit enactment, that the legislature designed to impose a poll tax upon the citizens of another state. The idea is repugnant to every principle of sound policy, of just legislation, and of international comity. "In imposing a tax," says Chief Justice Marshall, "the legislature acts upon its constituents." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
