Oh, voters and women who love American institution’, use all your influence. against such an organic law, as this one would be! A law that discriminates between classes, tbat it is in conflict with tle spirit of American liberty, that tends—se clearly to the centralization of power should be voted down by such an overwhelming ‘majority that it could never again be even revived.

Ignorant as most of us are of any form of business, I do truly believe that any set of women, possessed of good common sense, and imbued solely with a wish to doright by all, could and would have done better for the people at large tban our noble male representatives have done. A law that Eastern papers can speak ofas “the Loodlum made Constitution of Caltornia,” a law thateven now is bringing distress apon the people because the fear that itmay be adopted is paralyzing the business enterprises of the State, how can any man of senee advocate such a thing upless be is actuated by selfinterest.

Section 1 of Article XII Revenue and Taxation in the new Coustion tution, quoted in vour paper, and you will finds ‘All property in the to its value,” &e. © ‘“The word propiectared to inelude-moneys, credits, . bonds, stocks &c.” Now this pro. vision is not. difficult to understand. by the highest courts. At says all property must be taxed in proportion to its value. If the mine and the stocks were both taxed, it would -be double taxation of the property of incorporations, and not taxation In proportion to the value. But the rule of construction always recognized is, that a provision of a Constitution must be so construed as to give effect to every part of the provision,. This ean only be-done in this case by saying that whem the mine or other property of an Incorporation and the-stocks-are-both in the State, only the mine shall be taxed. When the mine is in the State and the stock out-of the State, only the nine shall be taxed. When the mine is out ot the State, the stocks owned in the this State.__And-so of other corporme, that ean reasonably be put upou this seetion. Only by such a construetion can “all property in the State shall be taxed in proportion to its value.” Section 10 of the same article provides: ‘‘all property,” Xc:, ‘shall be assessedin the county, city, town,” &¢., ‘fin which itissituated,” taxes on our mines in Nevada county being paid into the treasury of Saw Francisco, assome pretend “to fear they might be. oe : And now. let me say of myself, that three times in the Convention the question of taxing’ stocks came up. That Patrick Ready, Mr. Barry and myself led the opposition to the proposition to tax stocks, and three times we defeated it with our arguments, Then it was that T made the speech you quote, and it never did come in, until it came with thie provision that ‘‘allproperty in the its value.” With that provision we are safe, from the taxation of the mine and stock both,»if both aré in the State. De But if a. man own in this State, or Arizona, or elsewhere out of this State, such stocks will be assessd : md taxed in pfeportion to the, value in the place where their owner resides, And they ought to be. Such stocks aré boaght, sold amd litigated in this State ; the State government has to -proteet them the same.as other property ; they are profitable ; they are generally owned by wealthy people, and should bear their the burdens of taxation, to support the State which protects then. The provisions of the new Constitution which tend to restrain the worst features of stock-gambling, will prove very beneticial to the ‘legitiinate minmg business of the State.— It-has long been just cause of complaint in the mining counties of this State, that the methods of dealing in «‘omstock and other stocks, practised in San Francisco, have had a stromg teadency to <livert, and have very generally diverted the mining capital of the State from the business of. mining, to the busimess of gambling im mining stocks.

A law that discriminates between classes, tbat it is in conflict with tle spirit of American liberty, that tends—se clearly to the centralization of power should be voted down by such an overwhelming ‘majority that it could never again be even revived.

A law that Eastern papers can speak ofas “the Loodlum made Constitution of Caltornia,” a law thateven now is bringing distress apon the people because the fear that itmay be adopted is paralyzing the business enterprises of the State, how can any man of senee advocate such a thing upless be is actuated by selfinterest.

At says all property must be taxed in proportion to its value. If the mine and the stocks were both taxed, it would -be double taxation of the property of incorporations, and not taxation In proportion to the value. But the rule of construction always recognized is, that a provision of a Constitution must be so construed as to give effect to every part of the provision,.

When the mine is out ot the State, the stocks owned in the this State.__And-so of other corporme, that ean reasonably be put upou this seetion.

The provisions of the new Constitution which tend to restrain the worst features of stock-gambling, will prove very beneticial to the ‘legitiinate minmg business of the State.— It-has long been just cause of complaint in the mining counties of this State, that the methods of dealing in «‘omstock and other stocks, practised in San Francisco, have had a stromg teadency to <livert, and have very generally diverted the mining capital of the State from the business of. mining, to the busimess of gambling im mining stocks.
