Tax on Solicitors.

In reply to an inquiry State Audi.

lector of Tate county. The auditor :
Office has recently had many com
plants along the same line:
Replying to your favor of the 7tl
instant / beg to advise that under q
general decision of the United States
and state supreme court you cannot
collect a privilege tax from a drum
mer or solicitor soliciting orders fol
a concern located outside the state
on the grounds that the same would
be an interference with interstate
commerce, and later it was decided
that the right to solicit orders EARNED
with it the right to afterward deliver
the articles actually placed IN the
original order.
"The whole transaction, however
must be a bonafde one. The order
must be actually placed.
81 suspect if you would probe the
matter a little you might find the
agents are adopting that course sim
ply as q blind, and no order was
placed for the goods by the purchas-
er in advance of the delivery. Where
you find that the case the agents are
unquestionably liable as patent medi
cine vendors, and the same applies
to all others liable for a tax.

Japan's s Peace Terms.

st. Petersburg-It is understood
that Japan S peace terms will include
a japanese protectorate over Korea
and the total evacuation of Manchuria
by the Russians. Port Arthur and
the Liaotung peninsula are to re-
main in possession Of the japanese.
The railway to Harbin IS to be eeded
to Japan, which will probably reim-
burse Japan for the capital she has
expended thereon. The question as
to the cessation Of the island of SAX
hahn to Japan would not have been
raised before the defeat Of Admiral
Rojestvensky's Baltic fleet, but will
now be included in the negotiations.
The question Of an indemnity will
probably be. the last to be considered.

TO REGULATE RATES.
Railroad and Financial Men Look for
Legislation at Next Session.

New York Railrorad and financial
men in New York have settled down
to the expectation that there will be
some sort of legislation regulating
rases and prohibiting rebates at the
next session of congress; but they
do not think it will be SO severe or
radical as the Esch-Townsend bill
They do not believe congress will go
SO far as the president demands, but
are convinced that the principle will
se recognized and the authority of
the government to control transporta-
ton rates established, which is the
next step to government ownership
The recent election in Chicago seems
to be Interpreted as. an expression OF
public sentiment, which will encour-
age all grades of Socialism, although
it will not accomplish anything more
than making government ownership
and control a political issue for the
next congressional and presidential
campaigns.

Attorney General Moody has writ

Attorney General Moody has writ
ten letter to the Secretary of War
giving his views on the subject Of
peonage, which it is intended will as
sist the executive committee of the
Isthmian Canal Commission in max
ing contracts for the furnishing Of la
Dor in diging the canal, to avoid a
condition of involuntary servitude un-
der the authority Of the United
States. The Attorney General quotes
section l of the thirteenth amendment
to the. Constitution, which inhibits
slavery or involuntary servitude, and
then says that wherever the juris-
diction Of the United States extends
there the prohibitions Of this article
accompany it. In the course of his
discussions Of the subject Mr.. Moody
says: cit is stated that the commits
sion proposes to import or cotnrol
aliens under contracts to perform la
Dor on the canal. The condition of
such laborers is not necessarily one OF
involuntary servitude, but it may be
and in fact usually is condition of
involuntary servitude limited in du-
ration. This is clearly shown by al
examination of the relation Of the la
borer tor his employer, which has come
to be described as coolyism in the va
rious parts Of the world where it ex-
ists." After describing by way of il
lustration the wondrous conditions
imposed by the "coolie" laws pre-
vailing in India, the Attorney Gen
eral says that he entertains no doubt
that these conditions are those of In
| voluntary servitude.

OUR WASHINGTON
NEWS NOTES
LATE NEWS ITEMS FROM OUR
NATIONS CAPITOL.
PRESIDENT URGES PEACE
Suggests that Negotiations be Con-
Quoted Directly and Exclusively,
Between the Warning Nations. In
mediary Not Necessary. Peonage
on Canal Discussed.

Washingtdn.-Ap identical note,
the text of which. by authority of the
president, has been forwarded to the
governments of Russia and Japan by
President Roosevelt In the interest
of humanity, the president urges the
warning nations to conclude peace. 1t
is suggested by the president. that the
negotiations for peace be conducted
directly and exclusively" between
the belligerent nations. The note in
dicates the president s belief that an
intermediary may not be necessary to
effect conclusive negotiations, but
likewise expresses the PRESIDENT s
willingness to do all that he properly
may do to promote the preliminary ar
rangements for time and place for
the meeting of representatives Of the
Russian and japanese governments
The following is the text of the dis
patch as given out:
"The president feels that the time
has come when the interests Of all
mankind must endeavor to see if it
is not possible to bring to an end the
terrible and lamentable conflict now
being waged. With both Russia and
Japan the United States has inher-
tied ties Of friendship and good will.
1t hopes for the prosperity and well
fare of each and it feels that the pro-
gress of the world is set back by the
war between these two. great nations.
The president accordingly urges the
Russian and japanese governments.
not only for their own sakes, but iD
the interest of the whole civilized
world, to open direct negotiations for
peace with one another. The presi-
dent suggest that these peace negotia-
tions be conducted directly and exclu-
sively between the belligerents; in
other words that there may be meet
ing of Russian and Japanese plenip-
otentiaries or delegates without any
intermediary, in order to see if it not
possible for these representatives of
the two powers to agree to terms of
peace. The president earnestly asks
that the Russian and japanese gov
ernments do now agree to such meet
ing and is asking the (Japanese)
(Russian) government likewise to
agree. While the president does not
feel that any intermediary should be
called in, in respect to the peace ne
gotiations- themselves, he is entirely
willing to do what he properly can, if
the two powers concerned feel that
his services will be Of aid in arrang-
ing the preliminaries can be arranged
directly between the two powers or in
any other way, the president will be
glad, as his sole purpose is to bring
about meeting which the whole civ
ilized world will pray may result in
peace"

A delegation from .the. American
Asiatic Association headed by its vice
president, Ellison Smyth. of South Car
olina, will call on President Roose-

in connection with the present admin

which will have the effect Of causing
the Chinese to abandon the plan OF
declaring boycott against American
goods. The association is All organi-
zation composed chiefly of Southern
cotton manufacturers and exporters
who send goods to China. They view
with alarm the threats the Chinese
deploring at the same t ffhne the treat
ment of Chinese by ). Immigration
agents, and hope to bring about an
adjustment Of conditions such agsNill

department the opinion prevails that
it would not be we'll to stir up the
Chinese situation for the position TAX
en- by the immigration inspectors with
regard to educated Chinese, who
come to America from time to time

favor. At the same time the state
department view is that if left alone
the Chinese will reconsider theil
threats and forget all about boycott
ting American goods. President
Roosevelt, has however, agreed tt
