U. s. Government Tsx on Hickey
Pokcy.ss

Having been notified to pay the In
ternal Revenue on Hickey Pokeyn
/ shall at once do 80 and advise all
dealers TO do likewise, but under
protest.
/ claim that the United States In
ternal Revenue laws are operative in
all states and territories belonging to
the United States, but not in the In
dian domain. The United States
government has never contemplated
putting a tax on anything sold in
the Indian Territory, for the simple
reason that IL there is a tax or duty
on any kind of business, such tax be-
longs to the Indian 50 long as this is
his country.
There is but one law governing
drink in the Indian TerritOry-tbat
is the law on introducing, and con-
gress passed IL without any internal
''fringesn or revenue "fiounces.

RAILROAD NOTES.

Some very large equipment orders have
been reported in our news columns in the
last few weeks. The contracts for new
cars reported last week, for instance,
amounted TO GOOO cars. These included
o...l. II on the New York Central and
Hudson River and Erie roads for 200 cars
each, and from the Lake Shore and Mich
igan Southern for 800. Going over our
files for the current year we find that the
ear orders which We have recorded foot
UP to the respectable figure of II. 500. If
We include the orders for new equipment
awarded the few weeks before Jan. !, this
total will be largely increased. The Penn
sylvania alone ordered 300 cars. anu
other companies about ,jDO ears. We nd
therefore, that the car-building concerns
have put orders on their books in the first
few weeks of this year for about 10000
cars in round numbers. The actual figure
must be larger than that. for NJ douL.
there have been some orders of which we
have failed to hear Our annual sum
maries of car building have shown only
32,oO0 cars built in 1895, only 1000 i'm 1894
and Il 900 in 1899. The latter figure must
for new ears. With o. lers for nearly half
that number already given out. there
seems much likelihood of larger mum ber
of cars than $1,000 being built this year.
That. as We have said means an excel
lent business for many lines of railroad
