Justice Gabbert delivered the opin-

opinion he states:
None of the conditions which would

than tax imposed upon outside man.

their products in this state direct to

The appointments were made under
a paragraph of the new tariff act
which authorizes the president to ex-
pend $4,000 in an investigation Of
the application of the maximum and
minimum rates Of the new tariff law
to foreign countries.
1t is the purpose of the president to
use the board for a much broader in

to the bill he made public statement
in which he took the ground that the
authorization was such as to enable
him to employ the commission upon
much wider field than that offered

most among the founders of the insti-

which the bones were found that they
are those of Fighting Nat" as he was
known in the revolutionary war.
