The Leader to-day starts njH>n
i lx* fourth year of its existence. It
lias long since passed the experi

failure, and despite the effort* and
n|>po*hf'>n of all who have spoken
evil of It and endeavored to break it
down and destroy it* influence for
•
j good, stands upon the threshold of
j the new year strong, vigorous and
confident. A* in the past, so in the
future, we shall pursue the even
tenor of our way, endeavoring to
advance the right and suppress the
wrong, without consulting any thing
but an enlightened sense of duty.
The circulation and influence of
The Leader have gradually in
creased from its first issue, and we
take occasion here to sincerely thank
its many friends, ami es|>ecially its
advertising patrons, for the very lib
oral patronage they have bestowed
upon it.
A large portion of our space is
given this week to the recent decis
ion of the Supreme Couit touching
contracts hetwem merchants and In
surance Companies, etc., but it will
prove interesting to the general
reader. The judgment of the court
is to the efTect that a contract made
by a merchant who has to pay a
privilege tax, and in reference to a
business for the transaction of which
a privilege tax has to be paid, can
not be enforced unless the privilege
tax has been paid, ami embraces
mortgage contracts for farm supplies
and all similar obligations. The priv
ilege lax on merchants is regulated
according to the greatest amount of
stock ou hand at any time during
the year, and it is said, that it is
not unusual to find a merchant who
carries twice as much insurance as
he docs stock. The decision on
this account, is already greatly
swelling the State’s receipts on ac
count of privileges.
The present Mississippi Legisla
ture, with a few honorable cxcep
tions, is a God defying and irreverent
set. They do not hesitate to turn
the Sabbath into a day for pleasure
seeking and excursions, wine-bib
bing, etc., and one member, a Coast
saloon-keeper, has gone so lar as to
introduce a bill providing for the
opening of stores and saloons otj the
Sabbath. Their conduct lias thus
far been a reproach and insult to
Christian Mississippi, and it will be
a matter for profound congratula
tion and thankfulness to the people
of the State when they pack their
carpet bags and start for home.

The brakesmen on the southern
division of the Illinois Central Rail
road struck last Sunday night for
higher wages, demanding an in

Several freight trains weio forcibly
stopped at McC’omb City, and the
strike kept tip until the brakesmen
received assurances from President
Claike that tluir demands would be
complied with, whereupon they re
turned to work. The brakesmen and
ship hands on the Huntington sys

converging at New Orleans, also
struck for an increase of wages and
their demands were readily acceded
to.

large number of statements of ac

justified in longir doing so, and

The present assembly of law-mak

LICENSE AND INSURANCE.
An Important Decision ot the Su
preme Court Affecting Mer
chants mud Their
Debtors.
On Monday the 15th inst., in the
ease of Phoenix Insurance Company
va. Pollard A Co., the Mississippi
Supreme Court rendered one of the
most important decisions it lias
enunciated for years. Twelve at
torneys made speeches, as by agree
ment, it was made a test case, for
about thirty others of similar na
ture. Pollard A Co., were mer
chants and their stock, which was
insured, wns burned. The insur
ance company claimed that the firm
did not pay a privilege on as large
an amount as they were Insured for,
and as section 589, of the Code of
1880, provides that all contracts
made with any person who shall
violate said net, “in reference
to the business carried on in disre
gard of the law, shall be null and
void, * * * and no suit shall
i be maintainable in favor of such
! person on any such contract, re
fused to pay the insurance pre
mium.
The opinion of the Couil was de
| livered hy Judge Campbell, the lol
i lowing being a full text :
We are called upon to determine
whether one exercising the privilege
Of keeping a store, without paying
the price and obtaining liceuse as
prescribed by law, and affecting in
surance of the stock of goods so era
nloved can recover on the policy in
case of this loss. An answer to
this question requires an interpreta
tion of §589 of the Code which de
clares that any person who shall ex
ercise any of the privileges enumer
ated, “without first paying the price
and procuring license as required
shall on conviction be fined * * *
or imprisoned * * or by both,
* * * and all contracts made
with any person, who shall violate
this act, in reference to the business
carried on in disregard ot this law,
shall be null and void, so far only as
such person may base any claim
upon them, and no suit shall be
maintainable in favor of such person
on any such contract.”
The purpose of the act ts mani
fest. It is to constrain those who
would enjoy the privileges taxed to
pay the price and obtain iiiense by
a two-told penalty, one being fine or
imprisonment or both, and the other
disability to claim under any con
tract made in reference to the busi
ness carried on in disregard of law;
one to be enforced through the ma
chinery provided lor the punishment
of misdemeanors, and the other, on
the plea of party sought to be held
liable oil the contracts made in ref
erence to the business.
We repudiate the distinction at
tempted to be maintained between
not obtaining license at all, and ob
taining an insufficient one. The
statute pronounces its penalty
against hint who fails to pay the
price and obtains license, and lie
.who pa}* the price ot a business
less lliah that prescribed and car
ries on a business greater than he
lias said tor the privilege of conduct
ing is as much within the content
piation or me statute as ne wno
pays no lax. It • may be said that
undervaluation is the form in which
the chief frauds are committed on
the revenue. He who pays no tax
is almost sure to attract attention to
his default, and to be visited by the
penally of the law, while successful
Iraud may be practiced by paying a
small lax, and under color of the li
ceuse thus obtained transacting
business on a scale much larger
than that authorized by the license
purchased. As the statute is broad
enough to include it, and the case of
one who pays a small tax ami does a
large business, is a common form of
the evil sought to be remedied by
the penalty prescribed, it must be
assumed that the legislative purpose
was to embrace it.
The statute does not deprive the
owner of his property embarked in
the business illegally carried on
The title is not in any manner af
fected. All the incidents of title re
main with the rights of the owner,
in all respects, as to the property,
except that no contract made in ref
erence to the business not duly li
eeused, can he enforced l»y him who
has violated the law in carrying ou
the business. The owner may re
sort t<> the courts, and maintain any
action to the maintHinance of which
title to the property entitles him,
unaffected by the fact that the pro
perty is employed in business un
lawfully carried, because the disa
bility imposed by the statute ex
tends only to rights founded on con
tracts made in reference to the busi
ness. The distinction is between
title with its incidents, and power
to contract with respect to the sub
ject ot it. Not the title of the de
linquent owner is impaired, but his
6apacitv to make a contract he can
enforce whereby to make successful
the business lie is illegally conduct
ing
Tlie common law as to contracts
rounded on or growing out of illegal
consideration furnishes no guidance
in asceitaining the true interpreta
tion of the statute. The common
law rule ol invalidity of contracts
was not looked to in framing Ibis
stntdte, which speaks the will of the
law maker, and it must be found in
the words employed for that pur
pose. It is therefore needless to in
quire what would have been the
rule, if the statute had not declared
the consequence of its violation.
The question is what dots the stat
ute declaim ? When that is ascer-1
%
tained, it. must prevail. It* lan
guage is plain, and unambiguous.
It declares that no suit shall be
maintainable,, in favor of the viola
tor of the law, on any contract mode
by him in reference to the business
carried on in disregard of the law.
The controversy is m to the scope of
the expression. “In reference to
THE BUSINESS CARRIED ON IN DISRE
GARD ok this law,” for only as to
such contracts is disability to main
tain a suit imposed. The language
should not be extended beyond its
plain meaning nor should it be limi
ted within narrower bounds, t We
should not extend it by construc
tion nor fritter it away by refine
ment, but should interpret it as to
effectuate the intention of the Legis
lature in passing it.
What is the plain, ordinary, popu
lar signification of the language em
ployed: its natural unstrained mean
ing ?
... • . * St._
We answer : it embraces all con
tracts in the prosecution of the par
ticular business, which relate to it,
and have for their object its main
I tenance, protection or furtherance—
all which pertain to it, and grow out
I of it.
The phrase, “In reference to buai
j ness” is synonymous with having
i relation to, regarding, in respect to,
! concerning, pertaining to it, and the
contracts which the delinquent is
1 incapacitated to claim the benefit of
[ are those included in these terms.
Was the contract made in the
; prosecution of the business ? Did
it grow naturally out of it? Was it
incident to it, connected with it, re
lating to it, did it regard it and per
tain to it ? If so, it is one which
the delinquent dealer cannot enforce,
for to permit it would be to enable
him to make valid contracts where
by to secure himself against loss in
his illegal ventuie—to guard the
cargo against perils incident to the
forbidden voyage, and thereby save
himself from the penalty declared
against his dcmeiit.
Is a policy of insurance on a
stock of goods in a stoic carried on
in violation of law, a contract in ref
erence to the business ? It is made
to cover such goods as may consti
tute the stock when a loss occurs.
It is a contract for indemnity
against loss. It grows out of the
business—it pertains to it, and con
cerns it—it relates to it, and is
made for its sue cess. It is impossi
ble to dissociate ideas of stock of a
merchant and the business in which
lie is engaged. True, buying and
selling constitute the principal op
erations of a merchant, blit there are
many accessories. The illegality of
the principal things involves and in
fects the incidents. Shall it be said
that the unlicensed dealer is inca
pacited to make an enforceable con
tract to buy or sell goods, but he
may make one for their preservation
nr for indemnity agsiinst their loss ?
that although they are being used
for profit in an unlawful business,
and arc kept for that purpose, a law
ful contract may be made for in
dimoity against their loss by a
casualty incident to the business ?
although no enforceable contract
may be made for their sale, one may
be made for their conservation or re
placement, in order that they may
continue to be dealt with in viola
tion of law ? To permit the unli
censed merchant to stipulate for pro
tection against loss of goods by a
casualty incident to the business,
would be to allow him to acquire
rights by contract from an illegal
business, in the face of the statute
which denies it.
The statutory incapacity relates
to all dealing wilh reference to the
stock of goods kept for sale. The
price of license is graduated with
reference to the amount of such
stock, and contracts pertaining to it
are what cannot be enforced. The
scope of the business of a store em
braces the purchase, care, preserva
tion and sale of goods, and the disa
bilily of the violater of the law ex
tends to all the operations of the
business, lie cannot claim the
j benefit of any contract made in its
prosecution growing out of it, and
j having relation lo it.
I So ihe law is written.
Wrere a merchant to make a power
of attorney authorizing one to take
charge of his store, and make all
contracts “in reference to the
rusiness,” it could not be denied
that the agent might iffi-ct insu
rance on the stock, and bind bis
principal bv a bill or note for the
premium. Why should the same
language have a different meaning
in a statute ?
Reversed.
