J. ". Benham Expresses Himself
 Logically.
 A few weeks ego while in San Fran
 cisco, J. ". Benhem, was convereipP
 with 0 party Of gentlemen. none of
 whom was he acquainted with. The
 conversation drifted towards towns anc
 how they were advertised. One of the
 gentlemen wes representative of the 1 Oakland Enquirer and She ideas ad-
 vanced by those present later appeared
 in that journal. One of the party
 maintained that Los Angeles was the
 best advertised city in the west. The
 following clipped from She Enquirer tells the rest:
 About this dime we met J. ". Ben ham of Phoenix, Arizona, and l asked aim what he COT sidersd the bess ad. Vertised town we st of Cbicsgo, and he said that Phoenix wBs. I asked him if he didn'b consider Oakland pretty we'll advertised and he said he didn't think it wss-outsids of San Fran cisco. Why" said I, "They got out 10000 copies of Facts and Figures over there to advsFeiae the resources of Ala meds county" "Yes," said he 'you gos them out. but that's all you got; you never got postage enough to mail them all. Down in Phoenix we make it point to send our literature to the eass in charge of man who sees that it gets into the hands of readers, and the result is that Phoenix is better sd- | vsrtieed than Oakland and we have | constant stream of immigration pouring | into our country"
 Mir. Bsnhsm continued: Its this way gentlemen: If stranger comes to | the Pacific Coast over the Great North ern or Northern Pacific it's because he read about Seattle OF Tacoma in She east. If he comes over the Union Paci- ic ia's becauss he hes read of San Francisco; if he comes over the Sants E'e it's because he has read of Los Aur Zelee; if be comes ovsV the Southern Pacific it's because he read of Phos- nix "

THE proposition of the Bossd of Supervisors to secure poor farm Of at least 160 acres is one of the most busi- ness like moves iu this matter that hae yet been suggested. There should be enough laLd to cultiva and support the inmates; is should be fsI enough away from the city to prevent the place from being made mere rendezvous for bummeKs about the city saloons; six OF eight miles out will not be soo far away. With such place when it is necessary for the County to support individuals OF family they can be placed on the farm and put to work and their labor assist toward their own support. The present system of supporting g lot of indigents scattered every where over the county and in perfect id!eusse. for most of them merely live of of the county without pretence of self sup port is all wrong ard the Board of Supervisors are in the way to remedy it to the advantage of the tax payer, by their new proposition.

The Cotton Plant Trouble.

Col ID Z Duncan, manager of

member of the printing committee

dress to the alliaucemen dealing
with the Crews Cotton Plant fight.
which promises to be brought out
before the state alliance on the

"Now, in conclusion, | desire
to soy, and | believe voice the
sentiment of the entire committee,
when say that we feel mortified,
if not Inundated, ut the fact that
a majority of this committee who
were in the reform movement at
its inception, in the first caucus,
held in the Grand Central Hotel,
in the first March convention, have
helped fight all its battles and won
its victories, and now when faction
and party strife has about passed
away, when all true white demo
Gratis are coming together to work
together for the common good of
our state, that we should be ac-
cused on mere supposition of try
ing to form combinations to des
troy and betray the party we have
helped huild M, to again bring
about the bitter feelings that OBJ
tanned in our state few years
ago.
II deny that there has been any
offer to form n combination for or
against any one. | deny that we
had any intention of using or ai-
lowing the Cotton Plant to be
used in the interest of any one in
diyidual or individuals. Mr.
Crews cannot say that the com.
mittee has ever asked him to say
aught forthis one or aught against

are complaints that moisture is
needed. In Texas hot dry wealth

Senator McLaIrin's attempts to
amend the tariff bill so as to benefit
the south seems to have failed all
along the line in the Republican
committee conference. The house
conIerccs represented eastern in
forests, the senate cOufcrccs rep
resented western interests, but
there were no Republicans to rep
resent southern intcrcsts-and Re-
publicans only were admitted to
the conference. The senate aban-
doncd the lumber amendment,
and the free burlaps, iute and jute
hagging, cotton 5agging, gunny
sacks, floor mating, cotton tie
amendments it had inserted in the
bill. The stamp tax on bonds
and stocks, which would have
made eastern money changers con
tribute something to the govern
ment revenue, was also abandoned

there is no danger of the south

NO LICENSE TAX
Can ho Charged Original Pack
ayers SO Opincs the City
r0 Attorney Of Ggyrnvllle.
GICCnville News.

tcr>}oy delivered n opinion in
which he held that Il city has no
right to exact license tax from
an original package business.
The full text of the opinion fol
lows:
Hon. james T. Williams, Mayor,
and City Council.
Sirs: My opinion has been
asked as to the right of the city
council of Greenville to exact
license tax from the agents of non
resident citizens keeping here what
are commonly known as "Origi-
nal PACKAGE stores.
1t is my opinion that such tax
can not be exactcd of such persons
and | Will briefly give my reasons
therefor.
Section II of Article s of the
constitution provides;
"rhe general assembly shall
not delegate to any municipal cor
poration the power to issue licenses
to sell the same (alcoholic liquors. }
When a license tax is cxacted
by municipality it is in consid-
Grafton of the license or permit
granted to do the thing licensed.
If the municipality has no right
in the first instance to grant the
license or permit, it has on the
other hand no right to exact the
fees or tax therefor. In other
words, Il municipal corporation
has no power to exact license
tax for carrying on business it
has no authority TO license.
There is still another reason in
support of my conclusion. The
supreme court of the United
States has decided in numerous
cases that an act of the legislature
of State levying discriminating
taxes against non-residents of the
State was void because repugnant
to the provisions of the Federal
constitution, which guarantee to
citizens of each State all the privi-
leges and immunities of the citi-
zens of the several States. In
my opinion the legislature itself,
much less municipal corporation,
would not have the right to exact !
"A license tax from u non resident !
citizen for engaging in the same !
business it is engaged in exempt,
of course, from the payment of !
said tax. In so far as the right
of non-r resident citizen is con-
cerned when engaged IN any bust
ness protected by the inter state |
commerce clause of the constitu
tion the rights of the State are no
higher than those OF any private |
citizen. No act of hers can him
der in the slightest degree com
petition upon an equal basis. If |
she had the right to impose 81
she would have the right to impose |
81, 600 or even larger sum and |
thus accomplish indirectly what !
she can not accomplish directly. |
Such n tax would impose burden |
upon inter state commerce and
might materially interfere there |
with if not practically prohibit it. !
The power to regulate this is dele
gated exclusively by the constitu- |
tion of the United States TO our
national congress. Any attempt |
ed interference Herewith on the /
part of State would be in the !
very teeth of the Federal consti- /
tuition and entirely nugatory.
Respectfully submitted,
Jos. A. McCULLouGH,
City Attorney.
