Columbia State, Sunday: 1t Is
evident that a fight will be made on
the legality of the state license tax on
domestic corporations, levied under
the act of 1903. The comptroller gen.
eral yesterday received notice from
Mr.. N. B. Dial, president Of the Ware
Shoals Power company. that the IL
cense, amounting to $50, paid by his
company last year would not be paid
again until the courts had passed upon
the law. This follows up the recent
decision by the supreme court declar-
ing the same tax on foreign corpora
tions illegal and in violation of the
original license tax act of 1898. The
domestic corporations are affected al
so, probably on the ground that this
is unjust discrimination. The state
has heretofore received about $4,000
from this source. Attorney General
Lyon stated last night that he had re-
ceived notice that the tax department
has been enjoined from collecting this
license tax. The injunction was issued
by Chief Justice Pope, at chambers, on
the complaint of Dial & Todd In be-
half Of the Ware Shoals Manufacture
ing company. The order is returnable
the first day of the session of the court
in April. The state government is in
a bad way financially, as has been
pointed out in the State recently. The
loss Of this $4,000 would be another
hard lick for the state treasury, and
yet it would seem hardship on domes-
tic corporations to pay a tax which
the court says cannot be exacted of
foreign corporations.

BOTH Charleston, S. c., and Tampa,

port in the United States to the Pan
anna canal. From our own view Of the
map it looks as If the claim Of Tampa
has the best foundation; but high Of
ficials of the navy have given the dis
tinction to Charleston and we do not
propose to set our judgment against
theirs. If they do not know, we GER
tainly do not.

there is no telling how much trouble

Oklahoma stands to her guns and

mocracy. despite all the pressure that
a federal administration could bring
to bear to sway her from her natural
inclinations II is probably true
that many city voters of democratic
tendencies were induced TO vote the
republican ticket in the hope OF cur.
rying favor at Washington. but the
new states yeomanry stood staunch-
ly for the principle OF local self gov
ernment. free from outside pressure,
and rolled up a majority that is ap'
parently decisive as reflecting the po-
lltical alignment OF the dominant ele.
ment OF the states citizenship.

quirements OF the enabling act In

n Theodore Roosevelt will perform
the purely ministerial duty confided
to him by the enabling act and pro.

duty as his predecessors discharged
their duties In similar cases or
whether he will succumb to the base
considerations of partisanship and
decline to act, is a matter that he
must decide
More than l.i00 900 American citi-
zens who have long been entitled to
