MIR. SMITHS ARGUMENT
IN HAWAIIAN CASE.


Appeal was taken TO the Board OF Cen
eral Appraisers. to the United States Cir
cult Court and to the Supreme Court. Mr..
w. Wickham Smith presented the case for
the appellants. He laid down the following
proposition. upon which he said his clients
rely:
these goods the Hawaiian Islands. having
been. by the action of Congress. approved
by the President. annexed as part Of the
territory Of the United States. were not a
foreign country within any sense of that
term. and certainly not within the sense CT
that term as used in the enacting clause OF
the Dingley tariff act.
80. The action OF Congress In providing.
In the joint resolution of annexation. that
the customs relations of the Hawaiian
Islands with the United States and with
other countries should remain unchanged
until Congress should further legislate On
the subject was Il violation OF the proyi-
sion of the Constitution that all duties. i'm
posts and excises shall be uniform through
out the United States.
.. As such joint resolution provided for
the collection at the ports Of the Hawaiian
Islands OF duties upon articles sent thither
from other ports of the United States this
OF section Of the Constitution that no tax
or duty shall be laid on articles exported
from any State"
Mr.. Smith then argued that in the five
places where the words United States were
used in the Constitution. with one excep-
tiOn the term includes the States and the
clause providing for the election Of Presi-
Dental Electors.
Counsel concluded with arguments tending
to show that the uniformity clause Of the
Constitution. with reference to indirect
taxes, is one of the fundamental limita-
tiOns upon the powers of Congress-and that
in consequence the provision OF the annexa-
ton act. which continued in force the Gus
toms regulations Of the Republic was
clear violation OF the uniformity clause.
From this he went on to argue that in
case the Islands were considered foreign
any tax collected there upon goods coming
from this country would be in effect an
export tax. as there would be no difference,
whether a tax on goods going from q State
to the Islands were taxed at the point of
shipment or at the destination. as the
charge would lie from the time the goods
were shipped.
The decision Of the Supreme Court Of
hawaii. to the effect that the Constitution
OF the United States had been in force in
the islands since August u 1898. was cited
and the argument closed thus:
May Congress. in legislating for terri
tory which II has annexed as a part of the
territory Of the United States. disregard
the fundamental limitations upon its power
written in the organic law to which Con-
gress owes its existence? II IL may, the
Judgment below is correct. II IL may not,
that Judgment cannot stand"
