8348. TAXES, Legislation and.—[continued].
Taxes should be continued
by annuel or biennial reenactments, because
a constant hold, by the nation, of the
strings of the public purse, is a salutary restraint
from which an honest government
ought not to wish, nor a corrupt one to be
permitted to be free.—
To J. W. Eppes. Washington ed. vi, 195.
