DIsPENsARIEs NOT TAXABLE.
South Cardinals Attorney Argues That Fed
eral Government Can't Tax.
nv tbe Associated Press !

Washington, August 27-Frankln H.
Mackey, attorney for South Carolina in
the claims for rebate Wholesale and re-
tail liqur licenses paid by the South Caro-
lima dispensary, today filed an additional
brlef with Mr. Yerkes, the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue.
The position taken by Mr.. Mackey is
that independently of the constitutional
question in the case, the revenue laws of
the United States have no application
Whatever to the dispensaries. The dis
pensary system, it is claimed, is State
institution, and being such is not tax
able under the revenue law. Reference
is made to the section of the revenue law
under which retail liquor dealers are tax
able and Mr.. Mackey contends that the
supreme Court has held that the word
Person" mentioned in the law does not
include State. The dispensares, he
holds, are State institutions, and he says
the taxes, if payable at all. are payable
by the State, which he contends is not
liatee to pay such tax.
Mr.. Mackey further insists that even if
Congress had intended to include a State
within the provisions of the revenue law
such intention would have been futile, be-
cause ever since the days of Chief Justice
MARSHALL it has been held by the Supreme
Court in repeated decisions that the Fed
eral government has no more power to
tax State institution than the State has
to tax an institution of the Federal Gov
ernment

the person under investigation the privi-
lege of having counsel present before the

may go to the length of permitting per-
sons III secondary interest the privilege
OF employing counsel before the court.

edge officially of the retention of coun-
sci by Admiral Sampson, but privately
1t is admitted that he expects to be so
represented.

refused medical aid to his little daughter who had
been horribly burned, until the police to her

badly burned, the child worse than the mother
her back was blistered and the bones of one hand
were barren. Neighbors at once took charge of
the injured ones and when move was made to
procure medical aid the father refused to permit
anything OF the thanksgiving 'sthe Lord would take

and properly arrested and the injured ones received
proper medical assistance. Such actions are of

Others The fanaticsm of such fools is one of the
