[Continued from First Page.] wealth, to say nothing of the bonuses paid for charters and the uncertainty of their invest ments. The burdensome taxes of this State have pre . vented millions of capital from coming into it, end driven untold millions abroad for invest ment, and kept the State a century behind her {rue position in her march onward to the high destiny nature has assigned to her. In 1848 t h e re was an Act of Assembly passed by this Le gislature requiring the company to report to the Legislature the amount of their investment in this State. The same Act of Assembty required that thereafter the company should pay a tax on that amount of stock. At the time of their investment they reported that the cost of their works in the State of Pennsylvania was $1,487,- 000. This amount the Legislature fixed as the basis of taxation, and declared that upon such amount the company should thereafter be taxed, and upon that amount they have been taxed from that day to this, the company paying their taxes promptly and punctually. If you take the other corporations of this Commonwealth and their amount of investment, and then the proportionate amount of stock upon which they are taxed in this Commonwealth, you will find, sir, that'this much abused Delaware and Hdd son canal company is paying much more than her proportion of taxes—that she is paying to day a corporation stock tax on $1,487,000, and the total of her investment in the state of Pennsylvania has not exceeded $2,600,000. She is paying a corporation stock tax upon more than half of her investment in this State, and nut cannot find another corporation in the Com monwealth which is paying more liberally. But it is said this company is rich and is de claring enormous dividends, and therefore Should pay any tax and submit to any imposi tion without complaint. I admit that for a "few years this company did declare liberal divi ' deride ; but taking the number of years they have been in operation, from the beginning to the present,they have not yet realized over sev en per cent. on their investment, including the profits Of a bank which they carried on for twenty years under a New York charter. They have made seven per cent. for them selves, and while they have done this, they have diffused the hundred per cent., the princi pal investment upon which the seven per cent. has been made, through the community, bles sing every department of life over the greater :part of three counties of the Commonwealth. But why single out this old company, this pio neer in the development of the Tesources of the State? Is it an offence to be vigilant, enterpri sing, energetic and successful ? is it an offence that they were among the first that brought development and prosperity into the northern part of the State ? Is it an offence that this company, Jay a long, hard struggle and by dear ly paying for it, have attained an important po sition among the great enterprises of the world ? If it be a crime that they have blessed the .State of -Pennsylvania with prosperity, and they are to bo punished for it, why then it may be just to inflict upon them this taxation which no other company bears. There may be such a thing as avarice and op pression overleaping itself. While the corpora tions of the State are prosperous, the country prospers and the coffers the State are full, but break down or cripple the corporations, and you destroy all the results of well managed (asso ciate) capital, and well directed enterprise, en -ergy and industry. This company is contribu ting largely to the support of ci large portion of the population of the State, and has increased the taxable valuation of property by millions upon millions, and has paid into the State Treas ury hundreds upon hundreds of thousands. But load it down with insupportable burdens; crip ple its energies, destroy all motives for a con tinuance of its efforts, break it down, and your revenue direct from the company is at an and ; the value of proper in all that quarter of the State depreciates, and your taxes upon real and personal property are cut off, and desolation succeeds thrift and prosperity. But I shall consume no more time on this proviso. Believing that this Senate is disposed to do justice and deal fairly with all the companies and people of the State, I submit this question to the Senate, reserving what I have to say on the merits of the bill. Mr. Speaker, Vie Senate having very justly voted clown the proviso, I propose now to look briefly at the merits of the bill, and although in the beginning of the discussion I stated the circumstances of its origin, and the object pro posed to be accomplished by it, yet, as several days have elapsed since then, it may not be ' - Improper to recall the principal points of that statement. In the year 1848, an Act of Assem bly was passed by the Legislature of this State, by which, among other things, the Delaware and Hudson canal company were called upon to 'make a statement to the Commonwealth, un der oath of the amount, nature and value of property held by them in' the State of Pennsylvania; and by the same Act a provision was made for taxing this property as. the in vestment of said company in the State. They reported, according to the requirement, a de tailed statement of their property, with its value. It was accepted, and a tax imposed Upon it as so much capital stock, bringing it under the general law taxing corporation stocks in the State. But the Auditor General of the State. under his construction of the Act, required of this company that they should not only pay the taxes on the amount set forth in that original statement ; but that they should make a full statement, covering not only the property in the original report, but also whatever additional property they might have acquired thereafter, 1- geld of the change ia the nature and value of the same from year to year. In compliance with the request of the Auditor General, they made the required statements ; but under a rootest; from time to time, declaring that he had no right to demand such statements, thatthero was I no authority for any other report than that fixed in the Act of 1848, and claiming that by that Act I of Assernbly the basis of taxation was limited and fixed to the amountcontainedin the origin al report made in pursuance of it ; and reserved to themselves all rights to adjustment in a fu ture settlement They continuedfrom the year 1848 until 1857 to make these annual state ments under pro test, and they paid into the Trees su7 each year the amount of taxes assessed on the statement so made. During this time they over paid to the Commonwealth about $Bl,OOO These reports, besides the property reported in the original statement, and which alone should have been reported, covered all the expendit ures of money, for repairs, alterations and en .. /argenteat of the canal, railroads and coal works, the manufacture of cars, purchase and replacing of stationary engines, &c , &c., covering the end /ors details of the account current of the ex penditures;of a coal and transportation com pany in a large business, and a considerable amount of real estate that was not required for carrying on the business of the company, not tormeCted with its legitimate operations ; but held outside of and not needed for the purposes of the company. Here was a manifest error against the company, both in making the re: port and paying-the money, which they were not bound to pay,• and which the State had no authority to demand. On the -14th of May, 1858, the company settled with the. Auditor General, and asked that this surplus money paid to the Commonwealth on these erroneous state ments should be allowed to their credit, on their account current with the State. Bat the Audit or General refused to comply with such request, -saying that he had no authority for so doing. From this decision the company appealed to the Court of Common Pleas of Dauphin county. The Court sustained the Auditor General. They then . -went to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court reversed the Court below, saying that all the company were liable to pay taxes on was the prope,rty stated in the original -schedule tea_ dered under the act of 1848, that an the excess which had been paid was an overpayment, to which the State was not entitled. The case went back to the Court of Common Pleas and was tried over. But the Court while admitting the principle as settled by the Su preme Court, that the Act of 1848 had fixed the amount of the original report of the com pany under that Act as the only basis upon which they were liable to be taxed, yet held that as the overpayment had been made under a mistake in law, through a mis conception of the legal rights of the com pany, they could not legally recover it back. The proposition of this bill is to authorize the Auditor General to settle the accounts of this company, and to allow them as a credit on their account current, whatever amount they may have overpaid the State, up to the time of the settlement with the Auditor General, from which thefappealed. lam aware that we arc here for aid against the existing law, as inter preted by a very respectable tribunal, and I am aware that that interpretation of the law makes the caseprima facie, against us. But I propose briefly to examine the decision of the Court of Common Pleas of Dauphin county, and I think it will become apparent to every fair mind that we have not only equity with us, but that the law also, if not with us, is at least very doubt fully against us, and for the purpose of a full understanding, I will quote the points of the charge, with a brief of the argument of the Court. They say: "It is conceded in the present trial that all the taxes due by the Company (the Delaware and Hudson Canal Co.) have been paid, but it claims tuad . showk that it has overpaid to the amount of $31,282 92. Can it recover them back I" It must be conceded that this money was pad and received under a mutual mistake of the law. These positions have been assumed by the defendant's (Canal Co.) counsel under some or either of which it claims a right to recover. First—The money having been paid by mis take when nothing was legally due, cannot be retained in good conscience. Second—That the payment was on an open running account, and therefore the balance overpaid must be refunded ; and then the pay ment was made under protest. We will examine each in its order. A clear distinction is taken in numerous cases between payments to private individuals and that of taxes to public officers. It was held in the bor ough of Allentown vs. Sayer, 8 Harris, 421, that taxes paid by mistake coul not be recovered back from the borough. Judge Houston says in Commissioners vs. Dobbins, 7 Watts 514, that when a party continues to pay taxes for a series of years, when he' might have redress by ap peal, there are many objections to recovering them back. In Taylor vs. The Board of Health, 7 Casey 78, it is held that when an unconsti tional tax was collected, if not paid under pro test it could not be recovered back. The City of Philadelphia vs Cooke fully recognizes the principle that money paid under a mistake of law cannot be recovered back. The first reason we therefore hold to be invalid. Although no formal settlement was ever made of the accounts of this corporation at the De partment between the years 1848 and 1858, from which last the present appeal was taken, yet the party paying sent its half yearly state ment of the amount conceded on both sides to be due, and regularly paid it over ; no more ever was or could be claimed at the Treasury, provided that the return as to the value of the property or amount invested was correct. No formal settlement, it is said, is ever made by the Auditor General and State Treasurer, except when a dispute arises, or there is neglect to make payment.; we, therefore, cannot consider this a mere payment on account from time to time, but as a regular half yearly liquida tion of balances. It was so considered at the time by both the parties paying and receiving, andno subsequent dispute between other offi cers can throw it open, unless those on the part of the government afterwards discovered or believed that a mistake existed. No mistake, action or omission on the part of State officers can injuriously affect the Commonwealth, but even the most solemn settlements may be re vised under the Act of 1846, to increase the balance due. If the product which regularly accompanied these half yearly payments had been directed against the increased taxation, it would have precisely met the present case, and given a right of recovery, but it was confined to an en tirely different object. Those protests are exact copies from the same original, and commencing in the year 1848, soon after the first payment, and accompanying . each remittance, down to the year 1857, are directed against the Act of 1848, which first imposes a tax on this corpo• ration. It conten& that by the terms of its charter the capital stock is not taxable at all, and pro tests against the validity of the third section of the Act of 1848, and makes the protest under such protest, to wit : a denial of the validity of that Act, and the right of the State to impose any tax under it. What shows clearly that the protest applies to that alone, and has no refer ence to the increased. taxationls, that the first letter was written in 1848, when there had been no increase—was continued through 1849 and 1850, and even afterwards. The protest should be clear, definite and directly pointed against the objectionable tax in order to be available ; one couched in uncertain language, and aimed at a different subject, rather tends to mislead than to guard the party receiving against error. There was no coercion in the preseftt case, no protest, and the moneys voluntarily paid into the treasury cannot be recovered back. The sum of $4,804 48, paid twice into the treasury on account of the company's land, cannot be retained with a good conscience, and must be refunded. The jury will therefore cer tify that balance in favor-of the defendant. Both parties took ,an eF:eption to the charge. The jury rendered tt:terthetTor the defendants for $4,804 48." ' • r I have examked all the cases referred to by .the court upon which they leased their decision in this case, and while I admit their validity, and that the doctrines laid down in them are un questionably sound, I think the court fell into a great error in their application of this case. While the principles laid down in them are properly and soundly applied to - the questions raised in the cases themselves, no fair and full application can give them scope enough to cover this case. It is true they all go to establish the doctrine that money paid under mistake (of law) cannot be recovered back. But the cases themselves limit the application of this doctrine to two cases : First, when money is paid to an individual under a mistake of legal rights, as for instance, when a man pays another a debt upon which the statute of limitation has run, or when an administrator without a refunding receipt has paid a creditor of the estate his debt in full when the assets were only sufficient to pay a pro rata. Here, though in the latter instances it may bear hard upon the administrator, yet the fact that the debt is due and unpaid, and that the creditor is 'justly entitled to the pay ment of his debt in full, in fairness and equity sustains the principles. In both cases% debt is due, and the creditor is entitled to it. But it is conceded that the money overpaid by this company was not due. They did not owe it. Thar State never had any legal right to it, and therefore cappot claim the benefit of this doctrine. Secondly, the case is where money is paid under mistake to public officers ; but here the doctrine is again limited in its application, and the ground upon which the decisions go, is not that there is any justice in it, but the inconve nience,..if not the impracticability of repayment, and every case wherein this doctrine is laid down, is a ease deciding questions arising out of the payment of municipal taxes, anehere it is distinctly and expressly placed upon`the pecu- Dar murk ,mating in the nature and inletuni p cna ,pluctnia Dann Ztlegrapl), CEntottaps lftmloon; Itprit 9, 1861. operations of the municipal tax system, and is by no means enunciated as a principle of gene ral application. But in this case, the reasons do not exist, and the principle cannot, by any fair interpretation, apply. There is, indeed, a v ry wide difference in the mode of raising mu nicipal taxes, and the collection of corporation stock taxes by the Commonwealth. These two classes of taxes are levied, collectedand received in a mode very different, and attended with very different incidents. In the one case assessors, collectors, receivers and treasurers, are elected by law, and Auditors are appointed to settle their accounts. They are settled with. Their accounts are closed and concluded at certain stated periods ; and in most cases a portion of the very money collected is allowed them in compensation for their services. In these cases itis manifestly a matter of necessity that there should be no refunding of over pay; at least it is sound public policy. For here re opening and resettling of accounts, and re funding of moneys, after settlement made, after bonds cancelled, securities discharged, and after a partial or entire distribution of the money to its appropriate purposes, which is generally the case as fast as it is raised, could not fail to be attended with intermina ble difficulty, disturbance and litigation, and in many cases would be utterly impractica ble. These are the reasonsnpon which this class of cases turns, and in reference to the matter in question in them) cases, the reasons are sound and conclusive. But no such reasons exist in the case before us. There is no such machinery used for the collection of these stock taxes. The companies under oath assess the taxes themselves and pay them directly to the State. They make a simple, direct report of the amount on which they are taxablei at a certain rate, and pay the amount the report calls for to the State Treasurer. There are no intervening assessors, collectors, receivers and auditors, each to be settled with and to retain portions of the money collected for services. There are no amounts levied and measured to meet particu lar purposes, and to be specifically appropriated to those particular purposes, and exhausted by them as fast as appropriated. There, axe no final and conclusive settlements ; no receipts in full given. The accounts are uniformly left open. The court in this case said : "No formal settlement is ever made by the Auditor Gen eral and State Treasurer, except where a dispute arises, or there is a neglect to make payment." Again, the Court took exceptions to the protest under which these payments were made. They declared the protest insufficient by reason of its vagueness, or that it did not cover the subject matter of dispute. It was general, going to the whole taxes claimed by the Commonwealth, and reserved all rights to the company. The less is contained in the greater, and while it may have covered more than was necessary, it certainly, in reserving all rights, covered these over-payments, and was the only protest natu rally to be expected from any prudent source, unless under the instruction of a lawyer, guided by some arbitrary specific decision, Techniceli ties should be laid aside here, and broader prin ciples shauld settle the questions arising out of the dealings of the State, with her largest and most vital interests. We hear much of "broad State policy" in these times, but it seems guile: bles and technicalities have yet their day in the Courts. There let them remain. Let them not enter here, where it is our higher duty to mould and shape the destiny and character of a great Commonwealth, on broad and liberal principles. So much for the law of the case. Now let us look at the equities of this question for a moment. If, then, there is no formal set tlement, no closing up of the accounts, can any harm be done by stating the accounts between the Commonwealth and this company, and al lowing them a credit for the money which they have overpaid. Had the accounts been closed and balanced, there , might or there might not, according to circumstances, be difficulty in opening them again. But, as there never has been eity formal or conclusive settlement and the stacountsa l th the company have never been cleeed, what injury can result from settling the ac count? If the State were to be put in any worse position than she would have been if this over-payment had not been made, there would be reason against the bill. But it is impossible that the State can in any way suffer any injury by the passage of this bill. She will lose noth ing of her own, but will simply do right, do justice, just what she demands from all her cit izens. The company ask for no refunding of money, but simply that the amount clearly proved on trial to have been overpaid, may be allowed them on,their account current to their credit. In every case of a mistake against the State, she demands and enforces the correction of the errors. The court say in this very case, "no action, mistake or omission on the part of State officers, can injuriously affect the Common wealth, but even the most solemn settlement may be revised under the Act of 180, to in crease the balance due. Now here, air, we do not ask the revision of a final settlement. We simply ask that a settlement may be made to correct a mistake. Upon what principles of equity or fairness can the Commonwealth set up one rule for herself and another for her subjects—that when she has made a mistake against herself she will en force its correction ! But when the mistake is against the citizen, there shall be no remedy. Shall this great State proclaim to her citizens that she has adopted the motto that "might makes right," and because she has the farmer she will avail herself of all advantages, fair and unfair, against her own subjects? Whenever illegally or erroneously she has got possession of the property of any of her people shall she spurn their appeals to her justice, and tell them her power is for their oppression and not their preservation ? Shall she turn miser, and in her avarice and rapacity become a terror and a scourge to her citizens by absorbing their sub stance and paralyzing their energies ? I trust not. Let not her fair fame be tarnished by any such unholy proceedure. Bather let herodarul nobly forth, in all the majesty of a grey State,. strong in the love and affection of her people, and let her perpetuate their devotion and bind them more firmly and cordially to her interests and her glory, in grateful return for her justice, her equity, her generosity and roaternaL care for all her children. . . .
