GIFT TOBACCO PACKAGES.
A Notification OF the Recent Circular Has
Been sent Oar.

A Mobilization OF the Recent Circular Has
Been sent Oar.
WASHINGTON, Aug. "a modIflca-
tlon OF the recent circular of instruc-
tlons to collectors of internal revenue
has been made and viii be sent out to-
day. These instructions declared that
all packages of smoking tobacco, fine
cut chewing tobacco, or cigarettes con-
tanning articles prohibited by section
ten OF the new tariff act, or having such
articles attached or connected there
with, or advertising any promise or
offer Of gift, reward or prize contrary
to the provision Of the new act are sub
ject to seizure.
The new order directs that all viola
tiops Of this section of the act be re-
ported to the commissioner OF Internal
revenue. but no seizures shall be made
without specific Instructions from him.
Some question has arisen as to the
power OF the department In the pre-
misses, The contention is made that
congress has no power to fix by law
regulations governing the packing OF
articles subject TO internal revenue un-
less in some way the power or conven-
lence OF the government In the collection
Is affected. Also that this provision Is
in restraint OF trade, and interferes
with legitimate business. Until the de-
partment has determined the question
no seizures will be made under this pro-
vision OF the law.
