The jldgment was in his favor , and in accordancet with that lprayetr. The tax of fout, mills on the dollar is for tie purpolse of supporting thef Governmelint of the State, of paying thee public debt and promoting the " piS blic interest. Othertaxes are im posed under athotlity of special laws i- for special tiitise's, e. g., one to prot n telt the lands froil overflotw by the I construction and repair of levees, n other for the supiport of the public stihoole ii, third to pay the inter-u iiest ofii i t hle ,ublic debt, etc., a nr t. these cannot e I diver ted fromi the axpurpose to hich thoe have severally f i'been ensecrat d. If lhe tax t f fei r w mills on the dollar is deemed sudli cient to defrayo t the expenses of the Sistate Go tilel s iil' , tit nliluy rlelsO quate to the suplo' t of the parish goeti'le r elnt, i llid lt t inthe restrictto t imposed by the act of 1087h was io i ite'ed to "e imeasured by the rati ae of taxation authlized each year for the i Governient of the State. t stru ction of statutes isb that inq irye Smust be ladei of the mishief to be c tie which t itnvpel led thue Legislatre to enact the new law. Blackisto ne says : "The most uiversal and ef-t fectual way f discovering t he Iart ti mening of a law, when the Itords are dubious, ies by etsidering the e reason l and spirit of it, or thie cause e which moved thle Legislature to en actt it."-I, aon., 61, loit a t. ti It is a part oft the public history ofi i ineriately ipneceding the eni etmen isof the statut e we are considering, thei orfchiad athori tis of l lt y partishe It ets had ade lavish and wanito ex- ht penditures, ud that plteically stheir ouer tha i tae(1 t ie legisliitred o in their o un opiniio. It was exer , enact this act restricting their power within specitieti limits. The defenldant insists tha; all of the taxes levied by authority of thea interest tax, the tax for the State Gov-y. ertnment, etc., are but one tax. This theory is necessary to stlstatu hits ar gunient, that the expression, "'State tax." used in the statute, means all the State taxes ; lint the fact is other. wi'uise. The tax of fintr mills on the odlhou'lr for the expenses of tlhe State (;overtlnmett is iipiised by the act of n 16li ; that for the pnvment of the in terest on the pihlitc debt by an act of !74 (acts, p. 3d) ; and that for the cutstrnctiion of levees by a later act 1 uu- of the same year (idem, p 95). The view uve have taken of the mmea'ning of the statute of 1872 is cot firmed by oiher acts of the Legisha ture. In 1870 it was enacted that e neither police jurors nor other parish iauhorities shlll nuako appropriaitions o0 expenditures for the puupose of ninaking or tepairing piiblic roads or bridges until provisions or expendi. uires hall have hbon Imade, by l'evy- f intg a special tax on all the (eal and v u*prsoual propelrty in the pa:rish, :and ' i;4ymlni'nt shall lnit hle mtade out of any other fnd.
