Territorial Legislature Powers and County Corporate Authority
A government official letter discusses the power of territorial legislatures to create counties and municipalities and to tax, including delegation to local bodies. It references the Act of 31st Bit 1 001 and precedents in Rogers v Burlington and other cases, noting Congress retains exclusive taxation power but may permit local bodies to levy taxes for their purposes. The communication, by Assistant Attorney General C Willis Van Deventer, was approved by Secretary Hitchcock. We want to buy clean cotton and other textiles for the Honolulu Rug and Carpet Weaving Co.
