Another Liquor Decision.
w. <->----zsuz
, (From Pittsbhrg Dispatch.)


onew'principle is involved in the
liquor shipment case decided by the
Supreme Court~of the United States
against the State Of Kentucky yester-
day. 1t :is but a new affirmation OF
the Interstate commerce principle,
first stated in. the Iowa original pack
age case.t The Court! holds that a
State law is powerless to prevent in
ter-State shipment, which is guaran-
teed by that clause Of the Constitu.
ton which says that trade between
States shall be free, and that no
State shall pass any law to the con-
trary. Kentucky has but given an
other illustration of the recklessness
of State Legislatures in passing clear
~ unconstitutional bills in the face
Of better advice.
The decision does, however, give
point to the position taken on this
subject In the United States Senate
by Secretary Knox while a. member
OF that body. He decided that a prop
Qsltton to prohibit such shipments
would 'rn0C be Sustained. And he
pointed out that the most that could
be accomplished along that line,
without an amendment to the ,Consti-
tuition, would be to prohibit carriers
IRON completing transaction of bar
ter That is, the express companies
could be prevented from accepting
shipments to indefinite consignors
and from delivering to any hut those
clearly nominated in the way bill.
IN the light of this decision of yester-
day there can be no doubt that Sena-
Tor Knox was absolutely right. ::

snug surplus. But the estimates OF
governmental expenditures for the
fiscal year that will begin with July
place the. total at $3O,0OO,00O and
some Of the experts who have figured
out; the costs place the total that will
be required at $40,OOO,0O0. This
prospective expansion in the running
expenses Is rendered graver by the
fact that the indications point to a
decrease In the ordinary revenue re-
cetpts. IT. is estimated that the total
revenues for the next fiscal year will
drop to $24, 100000, which would
mean a deficit of from $6,00O,OOO to
SIG, 00O.00O. ..=
Such ts; the ratio of difference be
tween receipts and expenditures
would mean disaster. 1t is evident
that the insular republic is in need
Of wise steering at this critical juno
ture.
