Municipal Corporations — License-Tax for Revenue — Powers of Cities of Sixth Class — Repeal by Implication.—A municipal corporation of the sixth class was empowered by the amendment of March 9, 1903, to section 862 of the Municipal Incorporation Act to impose license-taxes for revenue; and that amendment being a valid exercise of legislative power, operated to repeal by implication section 3366 of the Political Code so far as respects its application to cities of the sixth class.

Id.—Constitutional Law—Special Legislation—General Law.—The fact that the amendment of 1903 is applicable only to one of the six classes of municipal corporations provided for by the Municipal Incorporation Act does not make it a special law in the sense contemplated by the constitution. So long as 'the legislation as to municipal affairs contained in a municipal charter operates alike upon all municipal corporations coming within the class for which the charter exists, it is a “general law” fully authorized by section 6 of article XI of the constitution.

Id.—“Municipal Affair.”—A provision in a charter authorizing a municipality to impose a license-tax for purposes of municipal revenue is a “municipal affair,” and within the proper scope of a municipal charter.

Id.—Privileges and Immunities of Citizens.—A license ordinance applying equally and uniformly to all persons engaged in the same business within the municipality is not subject to the objection that it grants special privileges and immunities in violation of section 21 of article I of the constitution.

Id.—Criminal Law — Complaint — Alternative Averment — Habeas Corpus.—A criminal complaint for violation of an ordinance imposing a license-tax which charges the defendant with having conducted “a livery or feed stable,” though uncertain in that respect, if it otherwise states a public offense, does not show a defect available upon habeas corpus.
