Tbe Tuttlo law, so-called may te briefly said to b an act to lay out and improve tounty roads by assessments upon adfnooat lund owners. A wrltor la tbe SUteomnn approves tkts method of building county roods, and Inquire, "Why sfeoalda't tbe prop erty owner adjacent to a road bear tbe greater portion of tbe ex pease of improving itf" Tbe answer is that the county or state mono build a road for one mmh nor for any specific number of men it oan only Imlld roads for all men, for the puWk at largo. It oanoot right fully, therefore, build roads for all men, and tax tbe oot to a few. It Was boon bold tbat the Male osa not levy taxes for any purpose not expressly public, "however oertoia and great, the resorting good to tbe puWIe." Lowoil vs. Uoston, 111 Mass. 481. I'ubtle taxes cannot be levied to con fer a special benefit' on any individual. Xe potdlo work can b undertaken fot soon an end. Publlo works are under taboo for tbe oommoa benefit of nit, nnd every public work belongs as mub to one person as another. Tbat public oxpeuoMtnros, therefore, should be paid for mt of tk epubtle purse, and not out of tbe private purse of Individual seooM lose to ft self-evident propooi tlon. If some Individuals are, in fast, ben eJltod more than ethers by a public work, It I an Incidental result only, not tbe objoct of tbe work. And, as It wns not the aim or oad of tbe work taxation until it takes concrete form by attaching to and adding value to property. Tbe incidental benefits to the busi neso interests of Salem were doubtless considerable from the location of nbf public institutions there.

Tbe Tultfc net presents a clear ease! f special- taxation for road purposes. It is not general, it is not distinctly ItH-nl: lut dwells, like tbo vulture in tr-- Nvlds of air until it descends to f t on d per cent non-taxable bonds! A legil authority soys. "In pnrlhv mrntary language some acts are called public general acts others public local C of the road, but taxes him besides for arts " And so others analogously would be "public special acts." Ucforo the Tuttlo net was passed there was ono general law, ono common rulo for all roads, for nil men in the state. Ilut by this net there arc now two rules one general,, the other spo elal, providing for exceptions. One for all men, tho other for sotno men only. Ilut since the legislature can make no law for a few men only, therefore this aet is void. The same writer in the Statesman want further to know why the prin ciple of the public paying for public things should not apply to cities in the matter of street Improvement f May not this be nn effort to justify one bad thing by another srtll worse! Are tbe foundations for special as sossments, even in the easo of cities, altogether beyond question! Hundred of property owners in Portland have been "improved" entirely out of their property by street assessments. Klsc where it is even worse, for contractors have not only taken lots for improving them; but got a judgment out against n let owner for. the balance, where a lot did nov soil fer enough to pay the tost of Improvement! 8eo oaios sited by ISowjor j., Taylor vs. Palmer, XI Oal, UW. .MUSt thorn , .. , wrong with n system that htH oven worse than c. nfktii I This is tho systun the w would carry to tho r untrr' Tho bunkers, nr , iv... . !, n.t ., .l.n .. leJ v ,., ,v miuu, Lnabie0l lor me larmers- in. k 0f enthteJ h......K. i. iicn law. in ( . i the rural desire for Uti.. ..,. arc others, howevf r who Muck COPS to show that tlo ....
