Syllabus

<p>Taxation — Specification of Object — -Licenses—Peddler’s Pees— Statutes — Constitutionality. Rem. & Bal. Code, § 7067, fixing the license fees to be collected from peddlers for county licenses without specific direction as to its application, does not violate Const., art. 7, § 5, providing that no tax shall be levied except in pursuance of law, and that every law imposing a tax shall state distinctly the object of the same, to which only it shall be applied; since that article of the constitution has reference only to taxes on property.</p> <p>Licenses — Pees—Disposition. Peddlers’ license fees paid to the county -treasurer, pursuant to Rem. & Bal. Code, § 7067, providing therefor without specific direction as to its application, become part of the general fund of the county.</p>
