Cain vs. Commissione rs ot Davie coun ty. - - ' The Crenerat Assembly alits pession in 1881 passed an act intendedy as ex pressed limits, title, f to preventive stock from running atlarg&in the counties' of Davie and - Anson, by erecting a fence around their boundaries," the fifteenth section of which is in these words: WheHever a majority of the! quali fied voters of said counties, 6r any township thereof. 'as appears by ;the re turns of votes cast for trie various elec tors of President of thiB United (States; at the last Presidential election, shall, by petition duly signed, signify to the board of county commissioners of Davie and Anson counties their ap proval of the provisions of this act, that thereupon the provisions 0f this act shall be in full force and effect ;and the said board of county commission ers shall thereupon advertise by posted notices at five or more public places in each township in said counties, and in a newspaper in the town of Mocksville, the enforcement of the provisions of this act, and proceed to execute the du ties imposed upon them by the provis ions of this act; and the board of com missioners of Anson county shall likewise advertise by posting as afore said, and by publication in a newspaper established in Wadesboro; provided, That before the commissioners of An son county shall declare the provisions of this act in force, they must be satis fied that a majority of the qualified voters of said couuty have signed the petition herein provided for." Acts 1881, chapter 172. i The duties the board of commission ers is directed to perform are prescribed in the tenth, eleventh and twelfth sec tions, as follows: Section 10. It shall be the duty of the board of county commissioners of Davie and Anson counties to erect a good and lawful fence around the en tire counties of Davie and Arison, or such townships therein as shall avail themselves of the i provisions of this act, and to erect gates on all the high ways leading into said counties aud to keep the same in good repair. Sec. 11. If the owners of any land shall object r o the building of any fence herein allowed, his land, not exceeding twenty feet in width, shall be con demned for the fence-way, as land is now condemned for railroad purposes, by the North Carolina Railroad com pany ; provided, That no fence shall di vide a tract of land against the consent of the owner, but may follow tbe boun dary lines thereof ; provided further, That when a public highway divides a tract of land the fence majrfolloiw the highway even against the consent of the owner of the land so divided. Sec. 12. That for the purpose of car rying out the provisions of section 10 of this act' the .county commissioners may levy and collect, as they-do other taxes, a special tax upon all the real property taxable by the State and coun ty, within the county or township which may avail themselves of the pro visions of this act. A petition approving and accepting the act and intended to fulfill the con dition preceding its going into effect, containing the signatures of more than a majority of the electors who voted at the election designated, was present ed to the commissioners, and adjudging a compliance with its requirements, they proceeded- to give public notice of the fact and to declare that the act had been approved by the necessary number of qualified voters, and would- go into operation and be in force on and after the first day of May, 1881. The-present action was instituted on April 30, the, day preceding that fixed by the commissioners, and a complaint then filed reciting the substance of the enactment, and the action of the com missioners under it, and alleging as grounds for objection thereto, that 1st. The necessary number of quali fied voters had not signified their ap proval, many of those whose names were signed not being such. . 2nd. The boundary fence would be thirty-five miles in length and onerous ly expensive to those who were to be y taxed for its construction. 3rd. The tax required would exceed the constitutional limits. 4th. The act had not been submitted to a vote and received the popular ap proval. 5th. The restriction of the tax to real estate violates the equality and uni formity prescribed in Art. 5, sec 3, of the constitution. 6th. The taking and appropriating lands for the fence-way cannot be done without indemnity to the owner. 7th. The requirement that stock be penned before the construction of the fence is premature and unwarranted. On May 2, application was made to the Judge at chambers, supported by the verified complaint as evidence, for an Injunction, and thereupon-it was ordered that the commissioners show cause before him at Winston' on May 17 why an injunction should not issue, and meanwhile they were restrained from taking further action in the prem ises. At the hearing of the motion an affidavit of one of the plaintiffs was introduced containing lists of names of persons on the petitions of approval who are alleged not to be on the regis try of the different townships from which the several petitions profess to come; and also an affidavit of one of the commissioners avowing the integ rity of the board in making the canvass and ascertaining the' result and his be lief then and still, that the approval did proceed from a majority of the quali fied voters of the county. His Honor denied the motion for' an injunction, and taxed the plaintiffs with the costs, from which ruii tbfe appeal. At the fall te'rnf following the plain tiffs made a second, -application to the succeeding judge for an injunction, and in its support offer an additional affidavit and say that the commission ers have levied a tax upon the lands in their county, while the State and coun ty taxes for general purposes are 69 cents upon the hundred dollars valua tion, of 25 cents additional in di®ard of thelimitatioDSimposed Sin the' con stitution, and that they tiave improper ly used and misappropriated portions of a balance in the county treasury, col lected for county purposes under the general law. 1 This charge is met by a counter affi davit of the same commissioner who states that the fund applied to . the building of the fence was- intended to be replaced out of the tax levied under the act, some of which had yet to come in, and that they intended to use no more of it and that the 25 cent tax had been assessed in the manner prescribed by 1jiw This motion was also denied and the ElaintifEs again appeal. .- Transcripts in oth appeals are sent up and consti tute two causes in this? court. It was 'wholly unnecessary and attended with useless expense to prosecute both ap peals,' since eyery exception , to which the firstrefasal of -ithe wTit! is liable, .lies with, equal force against the last, and the same relief is obtained by al lowing1 it OTi,eitrier'appllcationit , ., ,We should bytoposi therefore to tax the appellants with the - costs of : a needless record, if the-- merits -were found to be with them upn1 the! sub- andJi we should direct the riheioJunctioTiKJEhe arrest of proceedings to enforce tbe act is ask-1 edMopoH the s45?ei:&D gtoJonds thai the lorm or legislation aaoptea making tne operation of it idependenCupon '' the vo lition of voters as unwarranted . as an' attempted 'abnegation7 of legislative. 1 functions; there has not been .a conwi r pliance with the precedent condition of I I a written approval of a majority of the qualified voters :r-and the. provisions of the act are repugnant to the constym tion Tfeese, we propose to examine 17 iche form of legislation. M It has been seriously questioned that the Legislature may make an enact ment to take effect only upon the - hap pening of a contingent event, but It has been earnestly maintained that when the event is the expression of thSe - pop ular will, ascertained Tty an elettiSn,H is in effect a transfer of legislative power to the voters. In reference to : this distinction, Bedfield, C. J., i in An elaborate opinion delivered in State vs. Parker, 26 Ver. 357 says that nhe dis tinction attempted between the contin gency of a popular vote and other fu ture contingencies is without all joit foundation in sound policy or sound reasoning," that differences may be found in the adjudications elsewhere, it is settled by the decision in Mabty Vsv the City of italeigh, 4 Jo. Eq.' 870 thai? such power may be exercised by the- Legisiature ana it is - declared that "when it is provided that a" law shall not take effect unless a majority pf the people-vote for it, or it is accepted by a corporation, the provision is, in, -e-ffect- declaration that in the opinion, of the Legislature the law is not expedient! unless it be so voted ror, or accepted." This principle underlies all ioCal)p tion" legislation and is fully recognized and established in this State. Caudwelk vs. commissioners, 4 Jo. Eq. 323. I ; 1 2. The operation of the act.' , -a v The plaintiffs insist that the requisite number of voters have not given them sanction to the law, and that mkny of those whose names are signed to. the petition are not of the class of qualified1 voters of the county. It does aDDeani however, that the number of subseribrfi mg petitioners exceeds halt the number j or those who voted at the preceding! election of electors for President and: the commissioneis have adjudged the fact that the prelimininary condition of the operation of the act had been i ulfl filled, and, acting upon the decision, they have entered upon the duties it- has enjoined, and given public notice thereof. The purpose is to show the necessarry number have- not approved-; by impeaching, the electoral qualified-'1 tions of a large nnmber of thoSe who have signed the petitions upon which' the action of the commissioners is based, and thus practically reverse their judg- i ment. 13 it admissible to do this V In Simpson vs. Commissioners of . Mecklenburg, 84 N. C, 158, a similar at tempt was made to go behind the deter mination of the commissioners' to the: result of - an election to ascertain the will of the voters, and it was said that under the statute, which requires the commissioners, after examination of the returns, to ascertain and declare the result, their decision upon the returns, of an election regularly and properly held is final and conclusive. Upon the fair and honest exercise of their judgment in determining the vote, the validity of the enactment is sus panded, and its operation is not left to the uncertainties of a future inquiry." This is decioive of the point, and we can see no ground upon which the pres ent case can be distinguished from that, except that in the latter the duty is pre scribed in more explicit terms. They must act when the necessary number of qualified voters "shall by petition signi fy to the board ot commissioners of Davie and Anson counties their approv al of the provisions of this act." 1 he commissioners must, therefore, ascer tain and determine the fact when such approval is given, and, Jfcbia, being de clared, the law, by its terms, takes ef fect, and they are to proceed to the exe cution of its commands. It i's of the highest importance that laws should be known and certain, and when they are to go into operation upon some contingent event, that event should be conclusively settled, and not left open to question by any suitor who may choose to contest the fact upon which its validity depends. This has been left to the decision of the commis sioners, and their decision ought to be and, in our opinion, is final. The serious inconveniences and em barrassments that will follow the re cognition of the right of the citizen to controvert tbe truth of the declared fact are pointed out in the recent case of Xorment vs. Commissioners, 85 N. C, 387, and need no reiteration. III. The method of taxation: The constitution directs that taxes be imposed by a uniform rule upon moneys, credits and investments, and upon real and personal property, according to its true value Art. 5, sec. 3 and that such as are levied by any county, city, town or township shall also be uniform and ad valorem upon all jroperty therein Art. 7, sec. 9. These restraints are referable to taxation for objects in which all have a common interest, and when disregarded under the levy in validYoung vs. HendersoD, 70N.C, 420, and cases cited. But there is a class of taxes, or, as they are often designat ed, local assessments, which are impos ed only upon those owners of property who in respect to such ownership are to derive a special benefit in the local improvements for which they are to be expended, and are not within the -restraints put upon general taxation. After enumerating various objects for which local assessments are made, such as opening streets, constructing lines, laying pipes for drainage, Judge Cooley remarks, that to warrant the levy of local assessments, there must not only exist in the case the ordinary elements of taxation, but the object must also be one productive of special local benefits, so as to make applicable the principles upon which special as sessments have hitherto neen upheld. Cooley Tax., 428. Referring to provisions in the consti tions of several States, which require uniform and equal taxation on proper ty, the same author says: "The view, generally expressed is that though as sessments are laid under the taxing power, and are in a certain sense taxes, yet they are a peculiar class of taxes and not within the meaning of that term, as it is usually employed in our constitutions and statutes." lb. 446. "A constitutional provision that tax ation shall be equal and uniform throughout the State," observes Mr. Justice Dillon, "does not apply to local assessments upon private property to pay for local improvements." 2 Dill. Mun. Corp., sec. 617. To the like effect, Burroughs Tax, sec. 39. In Mun vs. Stocker, 1 Allen, 150, Hoar, J;, lays down the rule in these words: ," When the assessment is made upon persons in respect of their ownership of a particu lar species of property, which receives a peculiar benefit from the expenditure of the tax, it is valid, although it does not operate upon all persons and prop erty in the community "r-Dargen vs. Boston, 12 Allen 223. In People vs. Mayor .& Co., of Brook lyn, 4 New, York, 410, the court declares : The amount of each man's benefit in the general taxation cannot be ascer tained and estimated with any degree of certainty, and for that reason a pro perty tax is adopted instead of an esti mate of benefits. In local taxation, however, for special purposes, the: local benefits may in many cases be seen, traced and estimated with reasonable certainty. At least this has been sup posed and assumed to be true by the Legislature, whose dnty it is to pre scribe the rules in which taxation is to be apportioned, and whose determina tion of this matter, being within the scope of its lawiui power, is conciu Olid, i "The reasoning in ' this l case" ' i the comment of r Judge Cooleyj "has t been I generally accepted ' aratifactory nd followed in subsequent cases." which are referred to in the nwginjT-Cooley, a WinoaTciy conceive case more learlywtthir tbfecempassoi the ;rnles than that now under consideration. The general law requires a sufficient fence to be built and kept up around alf cultivated land to protect jit from the 'depredations of stock, at Saf very great and increasing expense; becoming the more onerous' as the material used in its construction becomes scarcer and more costly. The enactment proposes to .dispense with separate enclosures for each man's land and substitute a common fence around- -the- icounty boundary to protect -all agricultural lands from the inroads of stock from abroad and 1 Che fencing in pf stock owned within its limits. It creates a UommuBfity ef interest in upholding one barrier in place of separate' and distinct barriers for each plaritation. and thus-iiv the common -burden lessens the weight tbat each cultivator! of the seii must1 otherwise individually bear. As tbe-greater-burden is thus "removed from the land owner, he, as such, ought to bear the expense by which this result is brought about.- The special interest benefited by the law Is charged with the payment of the sum necessary in securing the benefit. This and no more is what the statute proposes-to do. and in. this respect is. obnoxious, to to just objection from the taxed- laud proprie tor, as it is free from any constitutional impediments. ... . . . i. : IV. The excess over, the limits of taxation. . ; .... .Frow what has been said, this as well as the other provisions of the .cohstitu tipn which prescribe the mode of taxa tion,, are not intended . to be and are not restraints upon the species ot local assessments to which the present be longs. But if it were, the objection is removed by the special orovisioniof the i-General Assembly given in the iact it- iseir. uonst. Art. 5, sec. 6, interpreted in Broadnax vs. Groom, 64.N. G.,244, and in numerous legislative acts. In our opinion all the grounds upon which the court is asked to interpose, and prostrate the execution of the en actment are untenable and the ibfunc- 4ion was properly refused.. We there fore declare there is no error and sus tain the ruling of bis Honor. Let this be certified. BIT ' Cau'i Oct It. Diabetes.
