WASHINGTON, March AN interest
ing decision in regard to government
internal revenue tax is embodied in Q
letter just sent out by Assistant secrs-
tary Nettleton to acknowledgements sol-
lectors. 1t is o follows:
"Letters are frequently received at tho
department stating that in many parts
of the country retail liquor dealers CLAIM
to hold permit or license from the
United States for carrying on their bpsi-
ness; that in many cases where local
law prohibits public drinking places itAs
law il openly violated by persons who
claim to do business under at least the
1soial sanction of = federal license, and
that this fact, together with the belief
common among many good citizens that
the United States government does in
fact issue such licenses greatly retards
the enforcement Of wholesome restric-
WV lows anu HlOAAOt0S NloOSUSls
1T should be unnecessary to state that
the United States government does not
issue license Or permit of any nature
to any person in any state to carry on
the business of retail liquor dealer, and
it is. difficult to understand how any in
telligent citizen can be imposed upon by
the opposite claim. Congress having
levied revenue stamp tax Of $25 PEI
annum on the business of retail LIQUOR
dealer, the commissioner of internal
revenue endeavors to collect this tax.

New YoRK, March ga special
from Washington to The Herald says
that Redfeld Proctor. secretary of war,
will shortly resign. The information, it
says, is obtained from trustworthy
sources and may be accepted as abso-
lutely true. The reasons alleged for
this action are that Mr.. Proctor finds
his business interests in Vermont have
suffered greatly from the lack of his
personal attention. It is also stated that
another reason for the secretarys retire
ment is that he desires to be United
States senator to succeed Mr.. Edmunds
or Mr.. Morrill,, should either of them
retire before the expiration of their
terms, and his chances of working up
the necessary support will be better in
Vermont than in Washington.
