RUSSIAN SUGAR MUST PAY
Supreme Court Decides That M~usoovites
Bestow Bounty on Producers.
CoUNTERVAILING DUTY RIGHTLY LEVIED
DinRIey Law Operates TO Keep out
Product Accorded Special Privi-
leEes by which
strives TO Aid Exporters.

WASHINGTON. Jan. Sin an opinion
handed down by Justice Brown today the
United States supreme court decides in the
Bownes case that the money paid by the
Russian government on sugar exported is a
bounty and that the collector OF customs at
New York was justified in levying a coun-
tervailing duty on Russian sugar under the
terms OF the Dingley law.
TIL case came TO the supreme court on
a writ OF certiorari brought to test rulings
Of the lower court and OF the board OF gen
eral appraisers holding a cargo imported
into Baltimore from Russia to be subject to
a countervailing duty liable upon merchan-
disc upon which a bounty is paid on west
ern transportation. The court today cor
1rmed these rulings.
Justice Brown said under Russia's method
Of fostering its sugar industry, free sugar
which could be sold in Russia at the nor
NAL excise OF l 75-100 roubles per pound
might be exported under a permit from the
excise office upon the return Of a free sugar
certificate with the custom house export
mark, the excise then crediting the ex-
/ ported quantity Of sugar to the free surplus
of the mill which is subject to the doubl
tax Of LIS roubles.
Discussing the effect Of this certificate,
Justice Brown said:
In practice the market value OF these
claims must vary according to the demand
and supply, but the theory underlyiEg the
transaction is always this, that the eX-
porter shall suffer no loss because he has
exported his free sugar instead of selling
II In the home market. It is practically ad-
mitted In this case that a bounty equal
to the value Of these certificates is paid
ny the Russian government. and the main
argument Of the petitioner Is addressed to
the proposition that this bounty Is paid,
not upon expectation. but upon production.
The answer to this is that every bounty
Cpon expectation must to a certain extent
operate as a bounty upon production, since
nothing can be exported which IL not pro-
duced and since n bounty upon eXporta-
ton, by creating a foreign demand, stimu-
lates an increased production to the extent
Of such demand. Consequently the bounty
on production operates to a certain extent
as a bounty upon expectation, since II opens
to the manufactures a certain markt for
his merchandise produced In excess of de-
mand at home. Where regulations exempt
sugar from excise taxation altogether we
think they clearly fall within the deflni-
ton of Al indirect bounty upon eXporta-
ton.

Young M.r BADLY Frozen.

HURON, S. D., Jan. 5.-CSpecial)-A
young man named Willism %Rheinhart, who
appears to have no permanent abiding
place, came here from Hitchcock late in
the afternoon and started for a friends
residing ten miles southwest. He secured
a ride with a farmer to a point a few miles
from his destination and started to walk
the remainder Of the way. The night was
cold and the farmer endeavored to persuade
the young man to remain with him till the
following day, but he thought he could
easily cover the distance before night set
in and started of. He soon lost his way
and wondered over the ~prairies in the bit
ter cold until daylight, when he made his
way back to Mr.. Simpsons, with whom he
had ridden the evening before. He was

Nashville, April S.-After spending
the entire day on the general appro-
priation bill the Senate thrust aside
all that had been accomplished during
long morning aud afternoon sessions
and left off with matters III worse
condition than when the bill was
first taken up. The bill was con-
sidered Item by item. There were
some sharp fights over some increases
that were made In salaries and de-
creases in appropriations for other
purposes After all Of these had been
fought out and the bill was up for
consideration as whole. Senator
Hancock offered an amendment that
substituted the appropriation Dill Oh
two years ago in place OF the new
bill as amended. The Hancock amend
ment was adopted and this placed the
act of the last Legislature before fhe
Senate for acton. On the roll call
the vote was 13 TO 10, and it therefore
failed to pass for want of constltu-
tonal majority. Speaker Seay, who
was not IN the chair at the time,
entered a motion to reconsider, ana
the whole matter Will have to be
fought over again.
Senator Cox, Chairman of the
Finance, Ways ana Means Committee,
stated afterwards that the bill had
become a patchwork, that 1t was moth
ing like what his committee had
reported, and that the old measure
was to be preferred to the most radical
changes made before the new bill was
sidetracked were: An increase OF $500
per annum in the salary of the Comp
troller pension appropriation increased
from $3.50, 900 5000, 900 per annum

vided exclusively for the Governor,
