BREWING COMPANY CASE HEARD
The Germania's License Rights Ar.
gued Before Supreme Court.

Columbia, June 1.-The Supreme
court heard today arguments in the
case Of the Germania Brewing Com
rany against the Charleston County
dispensary board. The point involved
was as TO the license to be paid. The
county dispensary board, through its
attorney, Major Huger Sinkler, held
that the law required that a license
of $4,000 per year be paid by the
brewing company provided it did not
bottle more than forty barrels per
day. The boards position was that
this meant that no matter whether
the company worked half the year or
was shut down six months. not more
than forty barrels per day should be
bottled under the $4,000 license.
The company's position was that
the forty barrels per day meant an
average Of forty barrels per day, that
IL shut down for six months It could
bottle under this license eighty bar.
rels per day for the other six months.
The Supreme court has not announced
its decision yet.

INCOME TAX RETURNS.
Letters Received by Comptroller Gen.
eral Indicate That Thorough Inves.
tigatiOn Will be Made.

Columbia, June 3.-Comptro,ler
General Jones is receiving many let
ters from prominent business men of
the State concerning the income tax
law.
"The county auditors are practical
~ placing premium upon the tax
payers not returning their incomes.
said Mr.. oJnes today. "Those who
have failed to return have really got
their amounts placed at less than
they would have if they had made
sworn statements as to their income.
l was after sworn incomes"
Comptroller General Jones' last
letter on the income tax matter
pointed out that he wished the in
come taxpayers returns sworn to by
auditors. One part of the letter
places the burden upon the auditors,
who, Mr.. Jones says, have been in
some instances, shirking their duty.
"The enforcement Of the law" says
Mr.. Jones, rests with the county au.
ditors. Permit me to say that there
Is no time limit for auditors to dis
cover those liable to this tax and add
the penalty for evasion or non-re-
turn"
TWO letters received by the comp
troller general express in a way the
general sentiment toward the pay
ment OF income taxes.
One letter from a we'll known bus
iness man in the Piedmont section of
the State says:
In making my returns for income
tax endeavored to track the law as
closely as I possibly could, but in
locking over the returns of numbers
OF other people 1 notice that their in
comes are very much under assessed
either by themselves or by the audi
tor. I am perfectly willing and anxi-
Gus to do what is fair and right, but
! do not think that one party should
Pay when he knows that hundreds of
others are not paying more than one
tenth or One-twentieth taxes on their
real income.
fN''T would like Tor you IL take this
under advisement and express to me
your opinion as to the course we
should pursue in such matters. We
think 1t quite unfair for few people
to pay on their full income while 9TH
ers shirk the responsibility to such an
extent as is being done'
Another letter received says:
In making my income tax return
l did so honestly and conscientious
ly. 1 now find that a great many
people whose incomes are two or
three times mine, and in one instance
l know fully 10 times as much, have
made returns for less amount than
l did. Unless there is some adjudi-
cation of this matter, your office is
going to have trouble in the collec-
tions.
"One party told me he had de-
clined to make a return, and that his
assessment, after the penalty was ad-
ded was less than one-fifth of his in
come.'
The writer adds that the system is
cutie crude and that sOme chanpas
must be made. The entire matter
will be laid before Gov. Ansel short

LEMONS TO BE HIGHER.
senate halses Duty on Them a Half
Cent Pound-Raise of $769, $50. 20
Year.

Washington, May 31.-The Aldrich
high-tariff combination in the Senate
today voted to increase the tariff on
lemons from 1 to 1-2 cents a pound
According to Aldrich's own figures.
contained in his estimate of revenues
under the bill, this vote means an in
crease of customs taxation amount
ing to $769,553.7O a year. The i'm
portation of lemons in 1907 was 153,-
s3O,7S9 pounds, valued at $4,254,23O,-
56, which, at the rate of one cent a
pound, paid a revenue of $1,539,3O7.-
80. The revenue on the same quantity
OF lemons under the new Aldrich tar
iff Of 1-2 cents would total s2.3OS.-
961.O9.
AS the conutry grows the consump-
ton of lemons is greater. Therefore
the 10 years in which the new tariff is
expected to live, in the ordinary
course of events, will witness a much
heavier taxation upon lemons than
the $769,OOO above given. Upon the
basis above given, s769,OOO, does not
cover the addition to the cost of lem
ons certain to follow. The increase is
allowed, ostensibly at least, in order
to grant the lemon producers of. the
United States, who are for the most
part In California, a greater margin
OF production.

duty on lemons because lemonade is
