ISLANDS

Decision In Reference to Ship
ment of Liquor, Etc.
SUBJECT TO REVENUE TAX

heretofore, Under Existing Laws, Ar
of Same When Exported to a For
eign Country.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. The commits
sloner of internal revenue today render.
ed decision in which he holds that
beer, whiskey and other articles of do
mestlc manufacture, subject to internal
revenue tax and consumed in the
United States, are subject to this tax
when shipped to the Philippine islands.
In this, sense the Philippines are held to
be domestic territory.
Under existing laws articles subject
to internal revenue tax at home are re-
lieved from the tax when exported to a
foreign country, the exporter giving
bond when the goods are withdrawn,
which is cancelled when satisfactory
proof is furnished that they actually
have been landed i'll foreign territory.
Under ruling made some weeks ago
by the cOmmiss; ;Onars the Philippines
were regarded Tor purposes OF internal
revenue taxation as foreign territory
and therefore the viii ky, beer, cigars,
etc, which have been shipped TO the
Islands, have been exempt from taxation.
Under the present ruling the tax in ali
cases will be exacted before shipment.
1C is expected that the exporters will
pay the TAX under protest, having in
mind ''rhe IA diamond rings case. now
pending in the United States supreme
court, in which decision is expected
at ar early date. This case involves the
same question which has risen in the
consideration of the internal revenue
tax cases and If the court should hold
that the Philippines are foreign terri
tory for the customs and internal reve-
nue. purposes, exporters will be entitled
to a refund of the amount of the tax

Cominq Down the Huntsville Pike.

The Knoxville, Tennessee, County Court has petitioned Congress for an appropriation of $50,OO0,OO0 with which to build magnificent highway from New Orleans to the nations capital This is part of a mammoth petition that is to be presented to Congress The promoters of this movement ask for a road 100 feet wide, with no grade in it exceeding 1 F per cent, the whole to be lighted with electricity. It is to have two 20-feet paths for automo- piles. two similar paths for horses and horse-drawn vehicles, two 5-feet paths for bicycles, and like paths for foot travellers. It is an expansive, or rather an attenuated, scheme.
 If 1t should crystalline into fact no doubt our Huntsville road would be- come part of it, and there would be few sections in it that would present finer views. But we should not wait upon Congressional action in improv- ing Huntsville road.
 Congress Is oftentimes extravagant, but it has not reached the point where 1t will vote fifty millions to anything less than an isthmian canal. Mere highways and footpaths will have to wait perhaps a century, when the coun- try will be so big and rich that almost any project for spending money may command attention. The petition in favor of a big national road from New Orleans to Washington will therefore have to lie on the table a century, and most of us will not then be here to see the opening ceremonies of the big highway.
