May 27.——'1‘he Raines excise the court of appeals today in the test case ‘ aiding that it was within the competency liquors within its boundaries. The state’s question ality of the law. The question is then di-V public ‘ money or property or the state to private or local purposes and so require a two- thirds vote of the legislature to enact it? “The appropriation of this part of the excise tax revenues is, without doubt, we think for a local purpose. The fact that the purpose for which an appropriation is made is public does not withdraw it from the inhibition of the section if the pun pose is also local. ”Upon the point whether two-thirds of the traffic taxes imposed by the act of 1896 and which the thirteenth section declares shall belong to the town or city where the traffic is carried on are public moneys within article 3 section 20 of the constitu- Ition, it is important to notice that al- though this section has been since 1821 a part of the constitution of the state, excise moneys collected during that whole period have been appropriated under a general law of the state exclusively to the locali- ties where the licenses were granted to be applied to diminish local taxation or to some purpose of local charity. _ Two-thirds Vote Unnecessary. ‘ ‘In every city or village charter the pow- er of local taxation for municipal purposes is conferred, with authprity to appropriate the money raised to purposes of local gov- ernment. This in a general sense is appro- priation of public moneys to local pur- poses, but it has never been supposed that it was an appropriation to require a two- thirds vote to pass a bill. “The reason for the legislative policy which has _ hitherto uniformly prevailed, to permit license fees to be applied to the uses of the locality where the traffic was licensed and carried on, is obvious—name 1y", to furnish some measure of indemnity against the public burden thrown upon localities by the prosecution of a business therein under state authority, poworfully contributing to disorder, pauperlsm and crime. The legislative policy which has prevailed for so long a period, sanctioned by numerous statutes, never questioned in the courts and acquiesced in by all depart ments of the state government, is a prac- tical construction of the constitutional provision now in question. “Second—That section 11 of the act creates a classification of cities at variance with that created by the constitution. “The conclusive answer to the constitu- tional objection based on this section is that the act of 1896 is neither a general nor special city law. nor does it relate to the ‘property, affairs or government’ of cities. -It in a general state excise law, with such special provisions and adapta- tions to localities as to the legislature seemed proper. Whether the law should be uniform in its application to the cities of the state or whether a. discrimination should be made in the excise tax as be. tween New York and any other city and the extent of the discrimination wore in the discretion of the legislature. In enact- ing a general law under the police power the legislature is not hampered or re- strained by the classification of cities in the constitution. It may adjust details to meet varying conditions. In a health law regulations which might be suitable and proper for the city of New York, a great seaport, exposed to peculiar dangers from infection and disease. might be unneces- sary, burdensome and oppressive if ap- plied to an inland city like Buffalo. Granting of Liquor Licenses. q,- “The granting of licenses for the liquor traific has never been a corporate function or duty of a city as such. It is a function which the state in its aggregate capacity has administered. It has made use of local machinery, as has been shown, and it has permitted the cities to use the excise mon- ey for local purposes. But excise laws do not relate to the affairs of cities and still. less to their property or government. “The act in question is not special leg- ' lslation under the disguise of a general law. It will be the’duty of the court, on a proper occasion. to give full eflect to this new provision of the constitution and to construe it with that liberal spirit which is especially required in the interpretation of a remedial provision of the fundamental law. so that if possible it shall be efficient to secure the purpose of its enactment. “ Third—The objection that the law of 1896 was'a special city law, which ought to have been referred to‘the mayors of the cities affected, has been answered in the consideration of the other objection, based on this section. It was not a special city law. “We find no ground for questioning the constitutionality oi! the act of 1896, and we therefore affirm the judgment below.” A Town In Flames. .TORONTO, May 27.—News has just reach-- ed the city by telephone of a terrible fire raging in Desercnto.
