vided, is not displaced by a sale under a pre-existing which a statute provides is exclusive. See PROjudgment or decree. It attaches to the res without regard to individual ownership, and, when enforced by sale pursuant to the statute, the purchaser takes an unimpeachable title.¹ The right to redeem land sold for taxes is commonly reserved, and is favored by the policy of the law.2 Immunity from taxation is a personal privilege, not transferable except under express authority of the legislature; and the exemption does not necessarily attach to the property after it passes from the privileged owner.3 Unless exempted in terms which amount to a contract not to tax, the property, privileges and franchises of a corporation are legitimate subjects.4 Exemption of a corporation extends only to the property necessary for its business; otherwise, it could extend its immunity, and escape the common burden of government. An exemption granted an individual is a franchise which may be lost by acquiescence for a period of years. Property of the United States is exempt by the Constitution from taxation by a State." The necessities of government, the nature of the duties to be performed, and usage, have established a procedure in regard to the levy and collection of taxes which differs from proceedings in courts of justice, but which is still "due process of law." When levied by a city, for a public purpose, by authority of law, though some of the property assessed be farm lands, within the city, the State does not deprive the owner of his property without due process. Where the taking of property is in the enforcement of a tax, the proceeding is necessarily less formal than in other cases, and whether notice is necessary may depend on the character of the tax, and the manner in which its amount is determinable. To sustain an action to recover illegal taxes paid, it is necessary: that authority to levy be wholly wanting; that the money was actually received by the defendant; that payment was made under compulsion, to prevent the immediate seizure of his goods or the arrest of his person.10 The remedy 1 Osterberg v.
