General Hughes. commanding the depart

general order for the encouragement or

asmuch as conditions" says he, warrant
the assumption that the troops will enjoy
greater rermanency in location than for

attention of company commanders to the
fact that excellent vegetables ought to be
grown in these islands for at least eight
months of the year. AS those which do VOL

SOUTH CAROLINA JOINS ISSUE.
Objects to Paying Federal Taxes on
Its DisDenkRrX SXstem.


It's DispensRry System.
The state of South Carolina, acting
through the governor and the attorney gen.
eral, has initiated proceedings before the
commissioner of internal revenue to test
the question whether the state can be
legally required to take out special tax
stamps wholesale and retail liquor
dealer under the state dispensary laws, and
has made demand upon the commissioner
for a refund of all such taxes hitherto
paid amounting to S4,916. The one ques-
ton involved is, whether the internal reve-
nue. laws of the United States apply to the
dispensary system of South Carolina so as
to enttle the collector to demand the pay
ment of these taxes.
In the brief filed with the commissioner
OF internal revenue on behalf of the state
it is commended that there is nothing in the
laws of the United States authorizing the
collection of internal revenue taxes which,
even implicitly. authorizes the imposition
OF tax against a state or its instrument
taiities OF government, and that such an
act containing any provision taxing the In
strumentalities of the state government
would be to that extent unconstitutional.
1t is commended, further, that the prop
erty of a state and the means and instru-
mentalities employed by it to carry it's
laws into operation cannot be taxed by the
federal government, and an opinion Of the
late Judge Cooley on this question is
,
United States require the agents of the
state and county dispensaries of South
Carolina each to pay tax to the United
States before being permitted to exercise
the duties of their office, 1t is contended
that the law is unconstitutional and void
in this particular, because the tax which it
imposes is purely and simply a tax upon
the instrumentalities by which the state,
through its laws. seeks to minimize the
evils of the liquor traffic within its borders
The federal government, it is held, cannot
constitutionally interfere with the admin
istration Of these laws by requiring a spe-
Cial tax stamp to be paid by its officials
as condition precedent to the exercise of
their duties.
Commissioner Yerkes has the claim for
refund of taxes by the state of South
Carolina under consideration, but has rem
dered no opinion yet.
1t is understood that If the commission
ers decision is against the state. as seems
probable, the case eventually will go to the
Supreme Court of the United States.

TORPEDO BOAT FLOTILLA.
Points to BE Recommended ms It's Rem
devious.

Points to Be Recommended as It's Rem
devious.
The naval torpedo board has practically
decided the points to be recommended
as the rendezvous for the torpedo boat
fotilla, namely, Portsmouth Grove. on Mar
ragansett bay, seven miles from Newport,
as headquarters for the North Atlantic
group; Charleston or Port Royal as head
quarters for the South Atlantic group, and
Pensacola, Fla, as headquarters for the
gulf group. The board will also recon-
mend that torpedo repair stations be estab-
lished at Boston, New York and Norfolk,
in connection with the navy yards there
There has been much rivalry among At
lantic and gulf points to secure the head
quarters for the torpedo boats. 1t was de-
cided, however. that no point would be
considered unless the government already
owned land there. In the case of the
northern station, many New England points
were proposed, but Portsmouth Grove was
regarded as the best. There the govern
ment has acquired 40 acres for a coaling
station, and as the station will occupy only
a small part, some 100 acres remains for
the torpedo craft. This includes a tide
water lagoon, which is to be cut off from
the sea and transformed into a fresh water
basin. The boats can thus be footed out
Of salt water, and ranged in a series of
cradles along the basin. The decision be-
tween Charleston and Port Royal has hot
been positively made, but whichever is
chosen, the other will be used to some ex
tent as an auxiliary station. The plan Of
the board is to select intermediate sta
lions as fast as possible, so that eventually
lenses along the entire Atlantic coast and
gulf.
