The Commissioner OF Internal Rev
enue at Washington has accepted the
ruling of the United States Circuit Court
of Appea S for the ninth circuit to the
effect that goods are offered for SALE
at the place where they are kept for
sale, and where a sale may be effected.
They are not offered Tor sale elsewhere
by sending abroad an agent with SAM
plies, or by establishing an office for the
purpose Of taking orders.
This means that an agent with samples
of liquor may solicit trade anywhere in
the United States, whether local option
or prohibition is in force or not. He
may take orders for liquors and the same
may be shipped by the firm employing
said agent, provided they are shipped
to the purchaser direct.

ordered his inspectors TO purchase
sample bottles in the various cities and
will endeavor to compel the use OF full
measure bottles. IN future, under threat
OF prosecution.

The decision Of Congress in regard
to the beer tax, which makes net
reduction Of only IS cents per barrel on
the present amount paid, 20 go into
