TOBACCO DEALERS ARE WARNED
AFTER NOVEMBER THEY MUST SELL MANUFACTURED
TOBACCO ONLY FROM THE ORIGINAL STAMrED
PACKAGE OF THE MANUFACTURER-TWO MONTHS
GRACE GIVEN BY THE TREASUR YDEPARTNENT.

Collector Chamberlain is notifying
wholesale and retail dealers in manu-
factured tobacco of some Treasury De-
partment regulations which are being
very generally violated and which he
has received instructions to rigidly en-
force after November /. The rules in
question are that no kind of manufac-
tured tobacco shall be offered for sale
except in the original stamped package
from the manufacturer.
"A lot of people are in danger of get
ting into trouble over these rules" said
Collector Chamberlain, land we shall
make every effort to reach them all.
The wholesalers have already been no.
titled and Deputy Drake is going round
giving notice to retailers.
THE law may possibly operate to
shut out some of the smallest dealers,
as all will have to buy at least one
original package of whatever manu-
factured tobacco they sell. This means
at least one box of chewing tobacco,
SNUFF. cigars or cigarettes, and the con
tents must be sold at retail directly
from such box"
The orders from Washington on the
subject, after quoting the revised
statutes continue as follows:
"The language of these sections of
the t(eNlSeu STATUTES is so PLAIN as TO
hardly require explanation. Literally
construed, they permit the sale of
manufactured tobacco, snuff, cigars
and cigarettes by retail dealers from
the original manufacturers stamped
packages, and require that these pro-
ducts must remain in such Ori-
ginal stamped packages at all times
until sold and delivered to customers.
Manufactured tobacco, snuff, cigars
and cigarettes found on the market
outside of the manufacturers packages
in which they were originally packed
are subject to seizure and forfeiture,
and the person in whose possession the
same are found is liable to prosecution
and on conviction to heavy fines and
Imprisonment.
From information that has reached
this office it appears that the law and
regulations relating to sales by jobbers
and other dealers in tobacco, snuff, ci-
gars and cigarettes are quite generally
disregarded and ignored, and that these
articles are being exposed for sale out
side the original packages unprotected
! by the taX-paid stamps, 1t is the pur-
pose of this circular to give notice to
ali concerned that these irregularities
] and violations must cease or those gull
| ty of them must Suffer the consequent

RELIEF SHIP
ALDEN BESSE

The bark Alden Besse. IS days out
from San Francisco was sighted 10
miles northeast this morning at 1880
o'clock. Her arrival will be welcomed
by the whole community. A consider
able part of her cargo consists of gaso-
| line, of which there has been a scarcity
for several weeks. Dealers have had
| very low stocks, some of them none at
all and the establishments that use
considerable quantities of 1t have been
put to every device to get enough to
get along with. The shortage was not
due to failure of dealers to order sup
plies, but to the fact that for some
time past the Standard Oil Company
has been diverting the entire available
supply to the Alaska region where
prices rule very high. BY many the
Alden Besese will be looked on as a
veritabe relief ship.

"The regulations have been modified
from time to time in the interest of re-
tail and wholesalers in manufactured
tobacco, every advantage warranted
by law being given them. To accom-
modate small dealers manufacturers
have been authorized to put up any
sized packages permitted by the stat-
utes, so that no reason exists for the
exposure Of such articles outside the
stamped packages.
cone dealer i'm manufactured tobacco
is not permitted to take from a manu-
facturer's package a portion of the cou-
tents and deliver tIe same unaccom-
panied by the tax-paid stamp to an
other dealer for resale; neither can a
dealer lawfully receive or have in his
possession manufactured tobacco, SNUFF
cigars or cigarettes removed from the
original stamped packages. Such un-
stamped articles exposed for sale or ex-
hibited in show windows, show cases,
glass Jars, or otherwise by dealers,
wholesale or retail, are forfeitable and
must be seized
owing to the existing misunder-
standing on the part of dealers in man
ufactured tobacco as to the REQUIRE
ments of the law, immediate steps will
not be taken to strictly enforce the
same, but an opportunity will be af-
forded such dealers to remedy existing
evils and to get their stock of manu-
factured tobacco, snuff, cigars and ci-
garettes in condition to fully comply
with the law and regulations.
Therefore, notice is hereby given
that any of such manufactured articles
found on the markets, exposed for sale
outside of the original manufactured
and stamped packages on and after No
vember l, 1903, will be seized and sold
pursuant to law, and such further ac-
ton Will be taxed as the law requires
or the circumstances may demand.
Internal revenue officers are directed
to give this notice the widest possible
publicity, in order that the necessity
for seizures and prosecutions may be
reduced to a minimum.
when or on or after November l. 1903
manufactured tobacco, snuff, cigars or
cigarettes are found on the market ex-
posed for sale outside of the original
packages, the same will be seized by
the proper collector or deputy collector,

to the United States district attorney.

Wiunemucca Silver State.
The scalp bounty law has been repeal.
ed by the Oregon Legislature. This will
be a serious blow to some enterprising
people in this State who of late years
have done a thriving business by dispos.
ing OF Nevada scalps at a large premium
to the more liberal market provided by
the Oregon laws. Scalps have been pur-
chased in large numbers at a discount in
the far-out-lying district of Northern
Nevada and, with little trouble and nc
risk, have been disposed of to the south
ern and eastern counties of Oregon at a
splendid profit. The cutting off of this
source of revenue will be q severe hard

such dishonest means Of making a liyeli-

From the Marysville. CAL. Appeal.
Judge Hawley of Nevada, acting on
the bench of the United State Circuit
Court of Appeals, has handed down a
decision in two cases arising out of the
action OF Sierra and Plumas counties in
placing a tax on the raising of sheep. In
both instances the decision Of the Dis
trict Court allowing the counties the
right Of the tax collections is affirmed.
P. L. Flanagan and Wheeler and
Ridemour Of Sierra and Plumas counties.
respectively, brought suit in the lower
court to recover the amount of taxes as
sessed by order of the several boards of
supervisors, claiming that their tax was
for revenue, and not for regulation, as the
Supreme Court Of the State has interpret
ed the act Of 1901. The original law
giving the power to the counties was
passed by the Legislature and the court
holds that the act was a matter OF regu-
lation and therefore was valid.

Again it is announced that the horse

wizard of electricity claims to have in

stores power for an indefinite time, is
light, comparatively inexpensive. dur
able and effective. The electric batter.
les that have been used thus far 10 au-
tomobile construction were designed
for stationary use and do not meet the
demand for vehicles; nor do they serve
other purposes like the new battery.
Edison says be has now got the battery
that not only meets the demands for
motor power for vehicles but that will
work wonders in other directions too;

his opinions-'fve years from this

CARSON Cir. Nevada, March 9, 1908
To the Editor Of the sKSTrSKL:
In sn article published in yOur paper OF
March Z, and also one Of a preious date, you
gave out the information that;enate Bill No.
q, in regard to the printing { the tax list
was introduced in the interest'f tax dodgers.
The bill was introduced for be purpose OF
having a law that can be emplied with.
Under the present law thee are no "
counties in the State that publishes the same
kind Of q statement SIS furnished by the As
SCISSORS, and not . single count ia the State
that does comply with the Law
Statements Of all counties Except Storey
were before the Committee and & was shown
that sons Of the counties flbwed the old
law in regard to the form Of printing, others
Just put in real estate and improvements,
while others did much better. The best list
was published by Lyon County and came
nearer complying with the law than any other
county. Eureka, Elko. Washoe 0rmsby and
Douglas aIl furnished good list, while Storey
has not had any published for two years, as
they claim, and justly, that as they cannot
have all Of the matter printed for 20 cents q
name, they have no right to have so much
thereof printed as they can have printed for
the 20 cents. There is not q county in tbs
State, even those with the linotype machines,
that can have the work done and follow the
law for 20 cents a name. 1t is not the ques-
ton Of assessing, nor is it the fault Of any AS
SCISSOR, but it is the FAULT Of putting a price on
/ a piece Of work by the Legislature that car
not be done (f the intent Of the law is follow
ed by any newspaper in the State. The Law
virtually calls for a complete printing Of the
whole assessment roll.
The bill introduced by me did not put II
back to the old law prior to 1901, but amend
ed the present law so that the form Of printed
lists would be as follows:
JOHN DOE,
Real estate and improvements. $4,000
Personal property 5O.VO
H.. $4,000
Under the law of 1901 there is not a county
in the State that can comply with the re
quirements for the reason that the printing
called for can not be done fer the price named
and Storey county was perfectly right in no
printing a list that did not comply with tn
law, as it is better not to pint any list at al
than print one that does not comply with tn
law. Respectfully yours,
