Judge Norrell, however, overrules tbe demurrer, and iu so d. icg holds against the defendant upon raised by -- him on tho argument. In passing, upon the case his Honor tay: There are several questions, as I view the matter, to bo considered here: First, did the.Legislature have the power under the Constitution to authorize the counties to impose a license tax upon all and every kind of business not prohibited by law; and transacted and carried on in 6uch counties, and to fix the rates of license tax upon the same, and to provide for the collection thereof, by suit or otherwise? 'Second, is the raising, grazing, herding or pasturing of sheep, in any county, such a business as is contemplated by subdivision 2G of section 21 of tbe county govern-- ? ment act? Tbird, is such a tax a tax upon the property sheepor is it a tax upon the basiness, of grazing herding and pasturing , sheep, as ; alleged in the complaint? . double is taxation? it Fourth, In a careful written opinion. JudgeNorrell holds against "the defendant on 6&ch of these points, and in conclusion, says: The Constitution of Utah, being silent upon the question of double taxatlonrJthe Legielaturo," would have the power to impose double taxation, but In "this case the imposition of the tax in question would not be double taxation, even if the Constitution forbade double taxation. It is true, os stated by counsel1 in his argument, that the power to taxrincludes the power to destroy, but whatever may be the courts views as to the, policy of such a law, or whatever doubts the court may have as to euch expediency, can have no weight upon this legal proposition.
