An embodiment of the guaranty of equal protection of the laws. 16 Am J2d Const L §§ 488, 489. A law which applies alike to all the subjects upon which it acts, which applies equally to all persons or things within a legitimate class to which, alone, it is addressed, complies with a constitutional provision requiring laws of a general nature to have a Uniform operation. The word uniform, in this connection, does not mean universal. The provision intends simply that the effect of general laws shall be the same to and upon all persons who stand in the same relation to the law,-that is, all the facts of whose cases are substantially the same. See Re Sohncke. 148 Cal 262, 82 P 956.
