SEEKS COURT DECISION.
Controller Will Rule Against Gov
eminent Paying Hunters License.

While not assuming the right to deter.
mine the question authoritatively as to
whether a state fee for a hunters license
can be charged against the federal gov
eminent. George E. Downey. controller OF
the Treasury, serves notice that IL the
problem comes up again for his decision
he will rule in the negative. in the hope
that he may provoke a final determination
of the matter in the courts
The question ought to be settled. he
says, and pending such settlement posi-.
bly, as an effective means of precipitating
a settlement payments of such fees ought
not to be made. He cites the well estab-
lished rule of law that the property OF
the United States and instruments for
carrying out Its proper functions cannot
be taxed by state or municipality.

The vessels were built In 1891 and were
shown at the worlds fair at Chicago.
Later they were bought by the South

remained at Chicago ever since. Now

RULES ON CALLING CARDS.
Officials, Not q. S., Must Pay for

firming previous rulings of hts predeces-
sors in office. thence. not a necessary or
a proper charge against the govern
ment."
So the commissioner of mediation of
the board of mediation and concilia ton
will pay for the calling cards he ordered
This despite the effort of the auditor for
the State and other departments to per-
suade the controller of the treasury that
the charge was proper and former rulings
in. error.
The auditor for the State and other de-
partments does not regard calling cards
as personal convenience. He considers,
in this instance. that they are strictly
for commercial or business as distin-
guHshed from social intercourse.
