ississippi State News


A young farmer Of Choctaw coun-
ty was arraigned before the Federal
District Court at Aberdeen last week
on the charge of retailing liquors
without revenue license. The testi-
mony developed that a gallon of
whisky had been ordered by mail
for Christmas use, and that the
young man had yielded to solicita-
tions of a friend and sold him half
pint of the liquor, and that was all
that he had sold. Judge Niles dis
missed the case with the declaration
that the transaction did not consti-
tute q retail dealer under the United
States statutes, but that if the man
had been @ounger about town" in
possession of a gallon Of whisky, the
circumstances would have been diff
ferent and more suspicious.
Purchase of Beauvolr Not Contaminated
Much to the disappointment Of
many delegates, the purchase Of
Beauyoir was not consummatcd be-
fore the adjournment Of the Sons of
Veterans at Jackson last week. The
matter was brought up for discus
sion on report Of Treasurer George
G. Meyers, showing $3.50 available
and the proposition to borrow the
additional amount necessary dis
cussed. 1t was the sentiment of the
convention that no debt should be
contracted, and after a rather
lengthy deliboration it was decided
TO appoint Treasurer Meyers as
agent to canvass the State and col
lect the amount needed from the
subscriptions made, but which have
not been paid.
Gen. Meyers was authorized, az
soon as he gets the $4,000 in hand

UNc oNsTITUTIoNALITY or CUBAN REcIPRoc.
ITY TREATY

y
Senator Burrows objection to the reciprocity treaty
which the president proposes to make with Cuba and
submit to extra session Of the to be called in
November is unanswerabe The senator's objection is
founded the first paragraph Of section of article
of the constitution which says: IAN bills for raising
revenues shall originate in the house of representa-
tives, but the senate may propose or concur with
amendments other bills"
Now, the tariff law, when originally proposed was
bill for raising although the beauties of its
protective features have always been mainly dwelt on
by the republicans The democrats advocate tariff
for revenue only, but the republican bill although not
for revenue only is still bill FOR raising revenues
within the meaning of the constitution Of the United
States, simply because has this effect among others
Now, 1t follows as natural corollary from this
proposition, that the president and the senate who
alone can not pass revenue bill not by making
treaty amend such bill, once it is passed Tho sen.
ate may propose an amendment before revenue bill is
passed 1t can not even propose an amendment after a
revenue bill is passed. What tho president PURPOSES TO
do by treaty is not to propose an amendment 10 The
Dingley law which Is revenue bill but TO pass what
amounts to an amendment. That is the president
wants the senate TO pass an amendment which II con
not even legally propose The president asks the SEN
ate TO egsato in matter which the constitution has
reserved to the house He proposes to do without tho
house altogether in matter in which the constitution
says that the house is not only indispensable but has
the prime and paramount authority
Senator Burrows pursues somewhat different line
OF argument arriving however at the same conclusion
as the above. The senator proceeds to show that a.
the president do this by treaty he can do ANYTHING
by treaty. The argument here made gives the constr
tutional question in nutshell Plainly the president
although he may not be of It, encroachine on
the liberties Of the people and the constitution of the
country and is curtailing the power of the popular
house Of congress In a way which, If used as nroco
dent may carry us long distance on the road which
leads away from liberty and popular government
