Senator Newlands Expresses View Before
Committee.

Washington, Feb. 2s.-Opposition is
growing steadily in Congress to the ten
tative bills proposed for inclusion in the
administrations antitrust program de-
signed to supplement the Sherman law.

that the Sherman law as it stands leaves
little if any debatable areas and that
to tamper with it might result in iu-
dicial confusion, endangering the effec-
tiveness of the act. This view was ex-
pressed before the Senate committee by
Senator Newlands.

OCONEE AUTO TAX Is UpuELD,
Judge Prince Handed Down Decree
Last Wednesday In this Case.

Not a few have watched with in
terest the various steps that have
been taken in regard to the contest
ing of the validity OF the automobile
tax provided for by the last session
Of the General Assembly, applicable
to the auto owners of Oconee county.
AS the time came for the payment of
this tax (June 1st) a number of au-
tomobile owners, notably the Oconee
Automobile Association members.
sought to contest payment Of the tax,
taking the matter before Judge G.. e..
Prince at Anderson for a ruling as to
the validity Of the law. Judge Prince
handed down the decree in the case
last Wednesday, from which we take
the following:
william A. Hetrick, etc., plain-
tiffs, against John f. Craig, Clerk Of
Court of Oconee County, defendant.
Decree.
eve omit the recital Of the mat
ters leading up to the rendering of
the decree, giving the closing para
graphs thereof, which embody the
substance of the decree, as follows) :
1t Is earnestly urged that the act
under consideration is revenue
measure rather than a police meas
ure. | am disposed to think that it
partakes largely of the character Of
Doth. The first part of the act Is
clearly passed pursuant to the police
powers Of the General Assembly,
while the subsequent portion of the
act clearly shows that it's real pur-
pose was to raise revenues, and 7 am
disposed to hold that 1T Is manifestlv
revenue measure rather than a DO
lice measure, but since the license
tees are not a property tax, can
find in our constitution no inhibition
of such fees.
Il hold that the fact that a Drop-
erty tax has also been paid on the
motor vehicle in use doesn't prevent
the imposition of this excise or IL
cense tax, nor is this double taxation.
license may be imposed and q
| Zee collected as a revenue only, and
the fact that license fee Is exacted
| from the owner OF vehicles, includ-
ing automobiles, and Is set aside as
a special fund for the improving OF
the public highways, doesn't render
the Statute authorizing such license
! fees unconstitutional
Il conclude, therefore, that the act
In question is not unconstitutional
and void, but is a proper exercise of
legislative discretion.
And 1t is adiudged and decreed
that the plaintiffs complaint be dis
missed, that the restraining order
herein heretofore made be vacated =,
and that the plaintiffs pay the costs
OF this proceeding.
Geo. E. Prince.
Presiding Judge.

AS will be seen from the above,
the automobile license tax for Oco-
nee will stand, and those owing autos
are liable for the amount assessed
against their cars.

American COastwisc Shipping Put on
Same Basis rs Foreign.

Washington, June 12.-Only Pres
ident Wilson's signature is necessary
to repeal the clause Of the Panama
Canal Act eXempting American coast
wise shipping from tolls. The long
and bitter fight in Congress came to
an end to-day, when the House, after
brief debate, and without the formal
ity Of conference, accepted by a
vote Of PIG to II the Senate amend
ment. specially reserving all rights
the United States may have under
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty or other
wise.
1t was just a little more than three
months ago that he addressed the
House and Senate in joint session,
urgently asking for repeal OF the ex-
emptiOn clause that the nation might
keep its treaty obligations. Speaker
Clarke was out Of the city to-day, but
he and Vice President Marshall will
attach their signatures to the bill and
send it to the White House.
Before ending the contest bv con-
curing in the Senate amendment the
House voted down, ia to 108, a pro-
posal advanced by Representative
Moss, OF West Virginia. to attach to
the repeal fiat declaration of the
right of the United States to ex-
empt its vessels from tolls, and Of
the sovereignty Of the United States
over the Canal Zone.

Drowned i'm Saluda River.
tGreenville News, 15th.D

While swimming with a party of 8
or 10 young men and boys in Saluda
river, some 4 or 5 miles from this
city, and about 2 miles below the
Saluda river dam, Vary Young, 49,
year-old son Of Mr. and Mrs. w. r.
Young, Of the Brandon Mills, was
drowned in 20 feet Of water after
having cramps.
Up until a late hour last night the
body had not been recovered, DESPITE
the efforts of a large crowd Of men,
who dragged for it for hours.
The boys who were with Young
were not able to give any intelligent
account of the affair beyond the fact
that three boys walked out to the
river, which is only few miles from
the Brandon Mills, and, stripping off
their clothes, went in swimming. All
OF the party could swim, but it seems
that Young took cramps and went
down. His companions, seeing his
plight. went to him, and one Of the
boys in the party succeeded in drag
ging him to the edge Of the stream,
where the swift current struck the
eddy water. Here Young kicked
loose and went down again and has
not been seen since.

be among the first to be advanced to
