| point recently decided by the secre-
tary of the state of New York was raised
by the quartermaster's department,
United States Army. The question was
whether the United States government
should pay the state of New York s. for
license FOR an automobile used by the
| quartermaster's department. The state
held that the fee of 81 exacted from own
ers of machines is not in reality tax,
| but merely license In other words the
state is giving the government something
| for identification purposes, and therefore
| the fee of 81 was merely incidental and
| not in any sense a state tax.
