Unconstitutional Mortgage Tax Exemption Opinion 1873
Attorney General A L Williams declares a 1873 act exempting mortgage notes and securities from taxation unconstitutional under Kansas constitutional provisions.

Also recites state court posture on exemptions and cautions lawmakers. The piece includes a secondary historical anecdote about a Yankee peddler misrepresenting wooden wares to British officers.
