“‘'Such a practice would be attended with the most dangerous and pernicious consequences. It would open the door to the grossest frauds. It would impose upon the people unjust and extortionate burdens. It would cause the people to lose confidence in and respect for those in authority. Such a practice is against every principle of law, Public policy, and sound morals.””
