CONSTITUTION DOES NOT
FOLLOW THE FLAG


Supreme Court sustains the Governmental
Policy Regarding Insuisr Possessions.
A Washington dispatch says the de-
cislon Of tho Supreme court Of the
United States Is that the constitution
does not follow the flag.
The decision Is In favor Of the gov
eminent, but by divided bench.
There are Eve individual opinions, but
some Of these are concurring opinions,
expressing the views Of the writer's
more fully and particularly than Is
done In the opinion Of the majority.
The court goes back to the period in
which the republic was formed and the
constitution framed, aud endeavors to
ascertain what was the intent Of the
founders OF the nation.
The opinion Of the majority Of the
court disposes OF the uniform taxation
clause OF the constitution, which has
been invoked by all the appellants in
these cases, in the following manner;
The trainers Of the constitution. in
writing that clause, had no thought Of
Its application to territorial posses
sions. No such question as Is now pre-
scented had arisen In their minds. The
clause "all duties, imposts and excuses
shall be uniform throughout the united
States" the court holds, was placed In
tho constitution As result OF the
jealousies Of the states which united In
forming the Union. IL was intended
TO prevent any state or combination Of
states securing advantage over another
or others; to prevent the ports Of one
state gaining preference over those Of
another in the importation Of goods.
This rule OF uniformity was made
primarily for the states united, the
court holds, not for territories then
possessed or aftorward acquired, and
the constitutional requirement Is salts.
fed as long as all duties on imports are
uniformly imposed at all the ports
throughout the United States. The
advantage Of this uniformity may be
extended TO territories and possessions
not states aud not members OF the
American Union, but that is for con-
gross TO determine under the authority
OF the constitution.

A dispatch from Pelsin says the gov
eminent OF the United States will un-
der no circumstances consent TO any
increase In the Chinese tariff unless
commercial advantages are conceded
In return.
The position OF tho United States
rs understood at home has been that II
the Chinese duties on imports were
increased, attendant upon this increase
should be measures providing for great
err freedom OF trade between China and
the outside world, an abolition OF tho
lilln tax and possibly other reforms.
This government Is strongly In favor
Of n considerable increase In the UNI
Der OF Chinese treaty ports aud the re-
moval OF trade restrictions at some Of
those now open.
The likin tax is regarded with dis
favor principally on the ground that II
Is source OF corruption, a. II Is said
a considerable part OF this taN sticks
to the fingers Of the officials. This
tax Is one levied In China on goods
every time they are transported from
one province To another, 1t has made II
difficult 10 calculate just how much
goods would cost delivered outside OF a
treaty port.
