COUNSEL FOR THE STATE ASSERTS THAT THEY
ARE OUTSIDE THE FEDERAL INTERNAL
REVENUE LAWS

Washington, Alg. T-Frankn Mackey, attorney
FOR South Carolina in for rebate of whole
sale and retail liquor licenses. paid by the d.
spensary, to-day filed additional brief with Mr.
Yerkes, the Commissioner OF Internal Revenue
The position taken by Mr.. Mackey is that, inde-
pendent Of the constitutional question in the
the revenue laws Of the United States have no
application whatever 10 the dispensaries The
dispensary system Il is asserted is State institu-
uo, and, being such, is not taxable under the
nue. law. Reference is made TO the section OF the
revenue law under which retail liquor dealers are
taxable, and Mr.. Mackey contends that the Su-
preme Court has held that the word person" in
the law does not include state. The dispensaries
he holds. State institutions, and he says the
taxes, y payable nt ell. payable by the State
which he contends Is not liable TO pay such tax
Mr.. MaCkey further insists that even II Congress
had intended 10 include a State within the pro-
visions Of the revenue law, such intention would
have been futile, because ever since the days OF
Chief Justice Marshall Il has been held by the Su-
preme Court repeated decisions that the Federal
Government has more power 10 tax State IN
