Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1905-03-30

New York, March 28.-The board Oh
United States general appraisers an.
nounced a decision yesterday in which
they hold that President Roosevelt
possessed no legal authority to post
pone for ten days the date when the
cuban reciprocity treaty took effect, as
he did in his proclamation of the
treaty.
The case was brought by the Dalton
company, which maintained that the
treaty took effect March l, when the
ratification took place. That point had
already been decided In the negative
and the board of appraisers did not
pass upon 1t in yesterdays decision.
The United States senate, when it ratl.
fled the treaty, inserted an amendment
that it should not take effect until ap
proved by congress. Congress APP
proved it December II and the presl-
dent on that date issued his proclama
ton. He provided, however, that the
treaty should not take effect for ten
days,
Judge Someryille, who wrote the
opinion of the board, calls attention to
the fact that the first clause in the act
that the treaty shall go into effect
when the president has received sat
isfactory evidence that it is the inten-
ton Of the republic of Cuba to give full
effect to the convention, and issues a
proclamation accordingly" Judge
Somerville says the proclamation Itself
recites that such evidence has been
received by the president. and con.
tinues:
ut Is difficult, therefore, 10 see why
the convention did not, by it's very
terms become Immediately operative.
We know of no constitutional authority
which would authorize the executive
to postpone its operation a day after
this time. II he could dofes
its operation for ten days
there would seem no reason why he
might not do so for ten months" Judge
Somerville considers that the action
of the president is attributable to the
ambiguity Of the language of the treaty
itself and the confusion of dates which
occurs in it.
The Dalton company protested
against the imposition OF fun duty on
two consignments of cigars, one en-
tered ut Philadelphia December IS,
1908, the other entered prior to Decem
Der II. The former is sustained, the
latter overruled.
