If Congress has the power to grant immu-
nifty from local taxation to "commercial
travellers" selling by sample in every com
munity in the country, what is TO prevent
the extension of that power SO as to include
foreign firms and corporations In that
event, except for domestic goods, our mer-
chants would become mere agents, and our
mercantile enterprise disappear. Whatever
Congress does in the matter, We trust it will
not begin the experiment in the District OF
Columbia.

The universal testimony is that they can be
built better and cheaper there than any
where in this country.
