Summary of this case from Opinion to the Governor

In Featherstone v. Norman, supra, this court had for consideration an attack upon the State income-tax statute, and in sustaining the statute against the constitutional attack that it lacked uniformity this court said: "To be uniform under this provision, taxation need not be universal. Certain objects may be made its subjects, and others may be exempted from its operation.
