Tha Association ~ Tin Plata Mann
1actures have pablished assatement -
garding the foreign composition with
their business Probably IL most I'm:
portant feature u the table d freight
rates On tin plate which shows that
foreign tin plate Il carried from New
York, Philadelphia or Baltimore to ON
interior markets at : rate considerably
cheaper than that at which the rail
roads will carry American tin plate
from the American manufacturing cen
tiers to the different consuming markets
The bitter fight and the strenuous op'
position against the American tin plate
industry that have been made by the
foreign manufacturers Of tin plate and
their active coadjutors in this country
have reduced the cost of tin plate to
the consumer to price that leaves q
very narrow margin Of profit to our pro.
Queer, and which has checked to a very
great extent the importation Of the for.
eign article and caused the shutting
down Of the foreign factories. ~
The reduction on tin plate under the
German tariff was made, as is we'll
known, at the instance and for the ben
eft of the tin plate manufacturers in
Wales and for the English transatlantic
transportation companies. The existing
rate Of duty is not so low as these for
eign friends of the present free trade
administration had anticipated and does
not give them such absolute control OF
the American tin plato market as they
had hoped for.
It would appear, therefore, that the
American transcontinental railroad
companies have been called upon to
contribute their mite in support Of this
element Of foreign trade by giving to
foreign tin plate freight rate that dis
eliminates against American made tin
plate in reaching the consuming mar
ket. Adding this concession by the rail-
roads to the concession made by the
German tariff bill, the Welsh manufac-
turers secure double advantage over tho
American tin plate makers, an advan-
tage that may secure for them absolute
control of our tin plate trade.
1t is not stated in the report Of the
Association of Tin Plate Manufacturers
what railroads quote this particularly
low rate of freight on the foreign tin
plate, while charging higher freight
rate on the American article. This is a
point that we should like to know. That
it is done, however, does not surprise us
so very much when we recollect that
large blocks of stock in certain Amer
lean railroad companies are held and
controlled by English capitalists, which,
therefore, would naturally seek to serve
English manufacturing interests. This
is subject of much deeper significance
than appears at first sight, and one that
will bear further investigation.

The. Penalty on Delinquent Taxes.

Olympia. May 20.-Special--A question
that has been causing considerable dis
cussion among county attorneys through
out the state is one that has 4a&e.y been
submitted to Assistant Attorney General
Haig1ht the chapter OF the laws of 1875
reading An act relating TO penalty and
interest on state, county and municipal
taxes. which became due and payable in
the years OF 1888 and 1894. and declaring
an emergency The question raised Is,
has the county treasurer right TO allow
any rebate of either penalty or interest
on taxes levied for the year 1892? Taxes
for 1882 became payable in December. 1892;
1898 taxes became due and payable in Jan
uary, 1894. There was no tax that be-
came due and payable in 1923 TO which
this law can apply. Mr. Haight is of the
opinion that uhe law does remove the
penalty on taxes levied in the year 1892,
and the words due and payable" refer
20 the time when the taxes must be paid
by the taxpayer. not to the time when
he has right TO pay them. The taxes
levied in 1892 were payable in 1893 in the
sense that the taxpayer was obliged TO
pay them before the first of April. Else
they would then become delinquent. Prior
to that time and before the close of 1892
ne had the right TO pay the taxes, but
was not Obliged 10 pay them. Mr.. Hasg,ht
has therefore advised prosecuting attor-
neys throughout the state that the act
enables the taxpayer to pay the taxes
levied in 1892 and 1898 without paying any
interest or penalties thereon.

THE Loss or THE MoGUL.

Victoria, May Is 1895.
To the Editor: In your issue of May II
there appears a dispatch from Port
Townsend regarding the loss of the tug
Mogul, in which the actions of the engi-
neers are grossly misrepresented. OF
course, among engineers such statements
as the one referred TO is taken little notice
OF. but when two OF their number are
charged. tried and convicted for the loss OF
a steamer without a hearing) IL is time
that they spoke up for themselves. If the
boat had been properly equipped il might
have been possible for her to have reached
Neah Bay, but under the circums tances it
was an utter impossibility. All pumping
apparatus available Was working TO its
fun capacity. and II the main injection
pipe had been cut (Which was the only
means of applying the circulating pump
TO the bilge, there being no bilge injection
fitted. it would only have been the
matter of a few revolutions till the
valve gratings would have become chok-
ed with coal, witch was carried
off by the rush OF water, and
the engines brought 70 such a speed that
no Roadway could be made. 50 far as
the air pump was concerned * was a mat
ter OF breaking in the condenser. and had
that been done'the coal would soon have
stepped it's working. As 10 the amount
of water entering the steamer your cor
respondent has not the slightest foun-
dalton for his assertion. and as for. the
chief engineer being excited It is a. down
right falsehood as there was no excite
ment among any of the engine room STAFF.
l believe that Capt. Libby is too much
of a gentleman to blame the engineers
for the loss OF the steamer without at
first making a thorough Inquiry. IL the
deck department of steamers was run
as efficiently as the engine room there
would seldom be any need Of extra pumps
being used T. r. ".

the former hearing. and the other Jus
tees who dkssea1ed today. He said:
II - not and cannot be denied that IN
der the broad and comprehensive taxing
power conferred by the constitution, con-
grsss has the authority 20 tax incomes
from whatsoever source arising. whether
from real estate or personal property or
otherwise. IL is equally clear that con-
grsss, in exercise OF It's authority. has the
discretion 70 impose the tax upon in
comes above a designated amount. The
underlying and controlling question now
presented is whether the taxation of in
comes received from land and personality
are subject 10 the rule OF apportioument."
II is not found, said the justice. that
there was any lack Of uniformity in the
legislation. and he could no, understand
the principle upon which the court
reached the conclusion that because one
branch Of the law was invalid. or for the
reason that the tax was not laid by the
rule OF apportionment. IL thereby invali-
dated another branch resting upon the
rule Of uniformity. and against which
there was no valid objection II the con-
clusion of the court was sound the prin-
ciple could, with equal propriety. be ex-
tended 10 the entire tari1 act The court
took a wrong method Of arriving al the
true meaning OF the words direct tax"
depending upon opinions Of writers since
the constitution who agreed in nothing.
Il was never contemplated by the franz
ers OF the constitution 10 reach by direct
taxation subjects Of partial distribution.
What would be thought of direct tax
laid upon cotton al so much bale. or
rice, property not existing in a majority OF
the states. They contemplated the
apportionment OF direct subject matter
having general distribution among the
states. They never contemplated any
thing as a direct tax but that laid d.
rectly upon property itself according TO
the valuation by assessment. No intention
could be attributed 10 the trainers OF the
constitution 10 make any tax direct tax
which IL was possible 10 apportion. II
tax could not be apportioned among sew
eral states with reasonable approxima-
Gion TO equality to all citizens Of the coun-
try. that should be evidence that il was
not a direct tax within the meaning OF the
constitution"
What is 10 be the end OF the appisca-
ton OF this rule. this new rule adopted py
the court? A tax is laid by the general
governments against all the money on
hand or on deposit upon every citizen OF
the country a a given rate. When laid
a few parties come before the court and
say: My deposits were derived from the
proceeds OF farm produce. OF from bonds
and securities and they are not therefore
taxable by this law.
