2023The parties do however disagree as to whether Hineman was prejudiced by the State's suppressing the report——that is, whether the report is "'material' either to guilt or to punishment."

1969In Marsh v. Supervisors of Clark County (1877), 42 Wis. 502, 509 , Mr. Chief Justice Ryan, speaking for the court, stated: “Here, the exercise of the taxing power must be upon a uniform rule; and it is only upon an equal assessment, as the foundation of uniform apportionment, that the *158 taxing power can be put in operation.

1880This court has held in numerous cases that “ violations or evasions of duty imposed by law to secure a just and uniform rule of assessment, whether occurring by mistake in law or fraud in fact, which go to impair the general equality and uniformity of the assessment, and thereby to defeat the uniform rule of taxation, vitiate the whole assessment as the foundation of a valid tax.” The cases which recognize and’enforce this principle are collated in the opinion by the chief justice in Marsh v. The Board of Supervisors of Clark County, 42 Wis., 502 , from which the above quotation is taken.

1860The Supervisors of Rock County, 9 Wis., 410 , that the uniform rule of taxation prescribed by the first section of the VUIth Article of the constitution, extends to all taxes levied for the purpose of revenue, or the support of the government, whether the moneys were used in defraying the expenses of municipal corporations, such as towns, villages, cities and counties, or those of the state at large.

1974The defendant contends on this appeal that the above instruction, while in substantial compliance with Wis JI— Criminal, Part I, 520, 1 recently approved by this court in *708 Kelley v. State (1971), 51 Wis. 2d 641 , 187 N.

1906Co. v. Taylor Co. 52 Wis. 37 , 8 N. W. 883 , it was said on page 95 ( 8 N. W. 855 ) “Accordingly taxes can only be levied upon such property as the legislature shall prescribe, and then only by a uniform rule;” but the question at issue in that case was simply a question of exemption of property from taxation, and the sentence quoted unquestionably referred to property taxation and was not intended to lay down the principle that property taxation was the only taxation possible under the constitution.

1906VIII is a section governing the taxation of property alone, and not intended to prohibit the taxation of privileges or occupations; that it really means, as held in the Taylor County Case ( 52 Wis. 37 ) at page 92 ( 8 N. W. 854 ), “Taxes shall be levied upon such property as the legislature shall prescribe by a uniform rule,” or “the rule of taxation shall be uniform upon such property as the legislature shall prescribe;” that, so far as the taxation of property is concerned, there can be no classification which will interfere with substantial and practical uniformity of rate (Chicago & N.
