CONSTITUTION DOES NOT
FOLLOW THE FLAG
Supreme Court sustains the Governmental
Policy Regarding Insolar Possessions.

Supreme Court Sustains the Goyernm entail
Policy Regarding InsuIar Possessions.
A Washington dispatch says the de-
cision of the Supreme court of the
United States is that the constitution
does not follow the flag.
The decision is in favor of the gov
ernment, but by divided bench.
There are five individual opinions, but
some of these are concurring opinions,
expressing the views of the writers
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 framed, and endeavors to
ascertain what was the intent OF the
founders of the nation.
The opinion of the majority OF the
court disposes of the uniform taxation
clause of the constitution, which has
been invoked by all the appellants in
these cases, In the following manner;
The trainers of the constitution, in
writing that clause, had no thought of
its application to territorial possess
sions No such question as Is now pre-
sented had arisen in their minds. The
clause "all duties, imposts and excuses
shall be uniform throughout the united
States" the court holds, was placed in
the constitution as result of the
jealousies of the states which united in
forming the Union. 1t was intended
to prevent any state or combination of
states securing advantage over another
or others; to prevent the ports of one
state gaining preference over those Of
another in 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, and
the constitutional requirement is salts
fed as long as all duties on imports are
uniformly imposed at all the ports
throughout the United States. The
advantage of this uniformity may be
extended 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.

Greater Freedom in Trade Demanded with
China.

A dispatch from Pekin says the gov
ernment of the United States will un-
der no circumstances consent to any
increase in the Chinese tariff unless
commercial advantages are conceded
in return.
The position Of the United States
as understood at home has been that il
the Chinese duties on imports were
increased, attendant upon this increase
should be measures providing for great
er freedom of trade between China and
the outside world, an abolition of the
likin tax and possibly other reforms.
This government is strongly in favor
OF considerable increase in the num-
Der of Chinese treaty ports and the re-
moval of trade restrictions at some of
those now open.
The likin tax is regarded with dis
favor principally on the ground that it
Is source of corruption, as it is said
considerable part of this tax sticks
to the fingers of the officials. This
tax is one levied in China on goods
every time they are transported from
one province to another. 1t has made it
difficult to calculate just how much
goods would cost delivered outside of a
treaty port.
