once more upheld the principle Of

amendment to the constitution And
reversed the radical position take1
by Judge Jeter 5B. Pritchard, of the
circuit court OF the United States.
This decision comes as an addition
TO cumulative series of recent de-
cisions by the court of last resort
IN which the rights and powers of
the state are protected from the
encroachments OF the lower federal
courts. 1t is one of the most i'm

Pritchard had been upheld, the eley-

It's rights were invaded, would have
been stripped Of all force and Of

were entirely domestic.

to saying that in order to give few

Tax on Consumption Unjust.
"Mr. Speaker. no tax was ever more
unjust, in my opinion, than a tax upon
consumption. for all must eat to live,
all must wear clothes, and when You
place a tax upon what it takes to sus-
tain one, You announce the doctrine
that all men share alike in the bless
ings of government, that all men pros.
per equally But we have only to look
| about us to see how false this doctrine
of taxation is. A tax upon what some
people eat and what they wear would
deny them the necessities of life
while others. rolling in opulence and
accommodating their wealth into ths
millions, would not feel such a tax.
"The working people of this countr,
are paying a certain portion of taxes
that the rich should be paying. ant

on until the rich are forced to offer
little relief to the woriingman Their

FAMINE IS IMMINENT
Paupers Dig Graves and Dead
Are Carried to Tomb on
StretcherS.

Stockholm, Aug. 5.-The city today
is suffering seriously from shortage of
food, which so far is the most notable
result of the labor conflict. The stock
of bread is almost exhausted. and meat
is scarce and expensive. The strikers
themselves are living practically on
fish.
Thousands Camp Out.
Thousands of strikers are camping
out. some in tents, but many are with
out shelter. The authorities have TAX
en- charge of the milk supply of the
city. Soldiers are distributing milk in
limited quantities and supervising the
sale of milk from cars at railroad sta
tions Deliveries of ice have ceased.
This is especially trying, as the wealth
er is unusually hot.
Paupcrs Dig Graves.
Paupers from the poorhouses have
been enlisted to replace striking grave
diggers and undertakers. Instead of
hearses, stretchers are being used to
carry corpses through the streets to
the cemeteries. Funerals proceed un-
der military escort. Employees of the
gas works and electric light plants
have struck and military guards have
been placed over the establishments.
Plot to Blow Up Works.
The authorities assert last night
they frustrated an attempt TO blow apS
the gas works with dynamite.
A p1InhOat has hppn Stationed m
