The violators Of the fish law go: at it
again yesterday. Hardly got good
breath after being let out on bond for the
other offense till they took another turn.
j. n. Bledso and A. Latin were ar
rested last night about 10 O'Clock just as
they were disposing Of some FISH TO
Brakeman Bros on the corner Of En-
poria and Douglas. Captain Anton
Rruhn made the arrest. He caught the
men with a wagon full of fish together
with their nets and SENS They were
taken down 20 the city bastiie where they
were locked up. not being able 10 give
bond at that time. They will be given
hearing this morning at O'Clock on the
charge Of peddiing fish withut license.
Latin and Mendenhall were arrested
only last week for violating the stale fish
law and were out On bond pending
hearing today.
Whether they intended 10 run a game
of bluff or whether they thought that
being under arrest for one offense they
would not be watched, is not known, but
they are certainly very bold.
By the time they take a heat in the
city, prison and get sentence from the
district judge for violation Of the fish
law, they will feel like putting up a big
ger fist fight than they did when Ed.

The Tax On Alcohoi-

The greatest papers on the CONT
nent, without regard to politics, are
raising their voices in protest spains
any provisions in the proposed tariff
legislation which may have a tend
ency to further tax alcohol as an i'm
port. There 10 an abundance of ar
gument in favor Of untaxed alcohol
in manufactures and the arts. The
only reason for taxing alcohol at all
IL that q large proportion of it is
used in beverages, and public policy
maintains that such beverage IL Q
proper source of revenue through
taxation. But the fact that this pol
icy does not afford q means of ex-
empting from the tariff alcohol
which is not used as beverage,
offers the strongest base for an argu.
ment against the tax as a whole on
alcohol. As says the Boston Herald:
"Commercial-that is, high test
alcohol has been selling lately at the
distilleries, before the duty has been
paid. and without charge for the
packages, 1T the rate Of about 10
cents . gallon. The tax upon this is
e2.07 gallon, 90 that the impost is
equivalent to tax burden of more
than 1000 per cent. There il proba-
bly, no tax imposed by the United
States, whether in customs or inter-
nal revenue. that begins to compare
with this in extraordinary proper
tions. It Is absurd on the face Of it
that alcohol used in, say, the mauufac-
ture Of varnish, or in the preparation
Of medicine, should be made to cost
by tax $2.17 . gallon, when with
out the tax the price would be 10
cents . gallon"
The Boston Advertiser recapitu-
lates in brief in support Of the argu-
ment that alcohol, used in every.
thing except beverages, should be
untaxed:
because such tax 10 contrary to
our whole theory of taxation. Be-
cause 1t imposes an unwarrantable
burden on legitimate industries. Be-
cause exemption would immensely
increase both our domestic indus
tries and our foreign commerce.
Because it would furnish large aud
growing market for agricultural
products. Because it would furnish
additional employment for thousands
Of men and women. and because it
would enable our manufacturers to
compete with those of other couu.
tries both saving our home market
widening opr foreign market"
The proposed tax should be we'll

discrimination against alcohol in
