Chicago, May 25.-A special to the
Record Herald from Washington says:
The decision of the Supreme Court
OF the United States Is that the Con-
stitution does not follow the flag.
This decision. the most important
that great tribunal has ever made, will
be handed down next Monday. The
decision is in favor of the government,
and by II divided bench. There will
he ut least five individual opinions,
but some of these are concurring opin-
IONS expressing the views of the writ
ers 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 was framed and en-
deavors to ascertain what was the i'll
tent of the founders of the nation.
The opinion of the majority of the
court disposes of the uniform taxa
tion clause of the Constitution, which
has been invoked by all the appellants
in these cases, in the following man
ner.

NEW DECISION ON
TAXING MINES

Cripple Creek, Colo. May 4.-Den-
vcr Republican Special.l-Judge Seeds
in the District Court yesterday hand
ed down his decision in several peti-
tions brought by mining companies OF
the district for correction of the assess
ment of taxation for 1900, upholding
the assessor The cases have attract
ed n great deal of interest.
County Assessor Lysight, in assess
ing non-productive mining property.
placed upon them valuation based
on the prospective selling price. 1t
was an innovation and aroused the an
tagonism of nearly every mining com-
pany in the district. Heretofore it has
been the rule to assess non-productive
mining claims at nominal figure, the
range being from $50 to $50 an acre.
The asscssors of other counties
throughout the state have followed
this rule. and the action of the Teller
county assessor was considered il
legal and unwarranted by the attor-
neys of the companies Interested.
which prominent attorneys from all
over the state participated.
The judge. in rendering his decision,
saws that no objection is made to in
eQualities in the prices fixed by the
assessor as to the valuation of the
lands. but that the objection made Is
that it was unlawful to place such val
uations. To this charge the judge can
not agree. and he argues, in an opinion
of eight typewriter pages. that the as
SCISSOR was warranted by law and the
state constitution to place the valua
ton for assessment purposes at some
thing near the selling value of the
property. He upholds the assessor in
every act. Attorney X. C. Schuyler,
counsel for the mining company, gave
notice of an appeal TO the Supreme
Court.
Practically the financial condition
of Teller county is involved in the de-
cision. the tax levy having been made
on the assessed valuation, and should
the Supreme Court fail to sustain the
District Court. it will result in serious
embarrassment of the county. About
81, 500. 900 were added to the assessed
valuation of the county under the pol
icy adopted by the assessor.

its application to territorial posses
sions. No such question us Is now
presented had arisen in their minds.
The clause "all duties. imposts and
excises shall be uniform throughout
the United States" the court holds,
was placed in the Constitution as the
result of the jealousies of the states
which united in forming the nation.
1t was intended to prevent any state
or combination of states securing ad-
vantage of another or others; to pre-
vent the ports of one state gaining
preference over those of another Ill
the importation of goods.
This rule of uniformity was made
primarily for the states united, the
court holds, not for territories then
possessed, or afterward acquired, ana
the constitutional requirement Is sat
isiied as long as all duties on imports
are uniformly imposed Mt nll the ports
throughout the United States. The ad-
vantage of this uniformity may be eX-
tended to territories and possessions
not states and not members of the
American Union, but that Is for Con-
gress to determine under the authority
of the Constitution.
