Concerning the Weight and Value Of the
Liquor stamp-A Change In Form Made.
WASHINGTON, D. O., March 22.-Gen-
eral Nettleton, acting Secretary Of the
Treasury, has issued a circular letter, ol
which the following is the text. Many
retail liquor dealers claim to hold per
init from the United States for carrying
on business. In many cases where local
law prohibita public drinking places,
the law 10 openly violated by persons
who claim to do business under II, at
least the moral sanction Of q Federal
license" and this fact, together withthe
belief common among good citizens that
the United States Government does in
fact issue such licenses, greatly retards
the enforcement OF wholesome restrictive
laws and promotes disorder.
The United States Government does
not Issue o license or permit Of any
nature to any person in any State to
carry on the business Of retail dealer.
Congress, having levied q revenue stamp
tax Of $25 per annum on the business ol
retail liquor dealers, the Commission er
Of Internal Revenue endeayoEs to collect
this tax wherever and by wbomever the
business is carried on, hut no sembl9nce
OF permission express or implied is given
by the United States Government In its
revenue laws, or otherwise to give OF
continue such business in such place con,
trary to local legislation. A change has
been made in the form Of the United
States stamp issued to retail liquor
dealers as evidence that they have paid
such tar. The new form, which will 20
into use July ! next reads as follows:
UNITED STATES STAMP FOR SPECIAL TAX
INTERNAL REvENUE.
Received from - the sum OF - dollGrl !ol
special taX on the business ot TetAil1lquOr dealer
At, for the period repreSented by the coupon
or coupons heEeunto attached.
Across the face OF the stamp Is in.
scribsd the following statement:

THE TRUE YER NON OF 1T.

The Sun is profoundly moved by a sus.
picion that THE LEADER is endeavoring
To create a breach between Carey and
Warren. Viewing the matter from a
purely disinterested standpoint, our judg.
ment Is that Warren himself is deliber-
ately engaged in this very task, but
whether blindly or with malice atore-
thought we do not pretend to determine.
Everybody knows these two facts: First,
that Warren was elected governor Of
Wyoming by a deal in the western part
of the state which was engineered by
Carey. Second, that the legislature was
avowedly elected in the interest of Carey
and not OF Warren. The former was a
more or less openly avowed candidate.
The latter had it proclaimed through the
Republican press throughout the state
that he was not a senatorial candidate,
and the report that that was what he was
aiming at was simply u canard started b,
the Democrats TO iniure his chances o
being elected governor. The editor OF tb,
Laramie Seatinet came over here OK
pressly to interview Warren on the sub
iect. He did interview him. and upor
his return home published an article posi-
lively, specifically and citegorically deny
ing the statement.
In the face Of this Warrea forced him
self upon the legislature. Since then
despite what Carey had done for him. h
has persistentlY thrust himself forward
arrogating to himself all the honor:
holding out this hand aud that hand,
picking up nails everywhere and ignorin
Carey on all occasions.

EALR VIEW OEM

In regard to the appropriation Of water
from the head waters of the Big Laramie
river in Colorado, thus destroying or at
least decreasing the value of vested rights
in bitches in Wyoming. the Denver Re
publican closes a sensible and conservative
article 10 these words: AS between
Colorado and Wyoming as states, Colo
RADIO has as much control over the waters
Of the rivers which rise within its limits
as Germany has over the rivers which,
rising within its limits. flow into any OF
the adjoining countries. But the question
at issue is not to be settled by considering
it in this light. The citizens OF the
United States, whether living IN one state
or another, are entitled to equal pro-
lection in the enjoyment of their rights.
Certain of the citizens Of Wyoming have
vested rights in the water of the Big Lara
ME. The question, therefore. is: can
these rights be destroyed BY the act OF a
citizen OF Colorado 10 relation to that part
of the Big Laramie which has its course
in this state?"
The Denver Ne,os discusses the matter
with equal fairness and ability: Inform
alton from Cheyenne in regard to the
Laramie river ditch puts q somewhat
new phase on the facts from that on
which the subject of Interstate water
rights was treated in these columns yes
terdsy. 1t is stated that the river at the
point where it is tapped by the Larimer
com Dany's ditch is in Colorado, the course
of the river being in fact twenty-five miles
within the borders of this state. While
this does not at all change the equities of
the matter. it renders it more purely an
interstate question. Here is a river tax
ing its source 10 Colorado and flowing into
Wyoming. Its waters have already been
appropriated by Wyoming people. A
Colorado corporation proposes to take the
waters from near the head of the stream
and thus divert them from the people who
have been using them for years. Can
this be done2 1t is a question for the
United States courts and an entirely new
one. The NeDs holds to the opinion that
the water belongs to the original Wyo.
ming appropriations"
As The LEADER has heretofore pointed
ou', the question is an important one and
it will rapidly grow in importance until
such time as the equities in the case are
considered and an authoritative decision
rendered by some court of adequate juris-
diction.

The captain loaded about twenty tons of
