 His Instructions.

Collector of the Port James L. Me- Govern has received the following regulations from the Treasury De- partnient at Washington relative to the special tax on retail liquor dealers compounding spirits and to the inn posing of stamp taxes upon bonds of indebtedness, debentures, etc., as fol- lows:
 "In T. D., 1914, dated June 19, 1906, end at other times it has been held that retail liquor dealer may man ufacture compound liquors in quanti- ties not exceeding five gallons and keep them for his own convenience in filling orders received at the bar, without being charged with liability to special tax as rectifier.
 Tn view of the tax of 15c per proof gallon imposed by Section BOA of the Act of October 3, 1917, upon all mix lures produced in such manner as to cause the person mixing them to be a rectifier within the meaning of Sec ton 3244, R. s., it has been deemed advisable to withdraw the privilege thus extended to retailers. You are accordingly directed to give publicity among the liquor trade to the posi- ton now taken by this office, which is that any person who manufactures a compound liquor in such manner as to bring him within the definition of a rectifier contained in the said Section 3244, shall be considered liable to spe- cia1 tax as such, except, of course, that a person manufacturing a com pound liquor for personal consump- ton, and not for sale, shall not be charged with liability; nor shall a re- tail liquor dealer so long as he does no compromising in advance of sale. but compounds solely to fill orders for drinks received at the bar, after such orders have been received.
 ''You are advised that Title VIII, Schedule A, Act of October 8, 1917, imposing stamp taxes upon bonds of indebtedness, debentures or certif1- oates of indebtedness, bonds of in- demnity and surety, capital stock is- sues, capital stock sales or transfers, produce sales or exchanges or boards of trade, drafts, checks and promisory notes otherwise than payable at sight or on demand, conveyances, deeds. 1n- struments conveying lands, tenements or other realty, entry of goods at cus- tom house, entry for withdrawal of  goods from customs bonded ware houses, passage tickets. proxies. pow CTS of attorney, and parcels post pack ages, becomes effective on and after December 1, 1917.

I,1t this additional tax attaches onIy to playing cards manufactured or inn ported and sold, or removed for sale, on and after that date, and is to be paid by the manufacturers or import CTS.
 "This additional tax does not apply to tax-paid stocks in the hands of wholesale or retail dealers and. such dealers may sell all cards tax-paid at Pc under the original Act of August 28. 1894, which they had on hand on October without incurring Iia- bility to the additional tax of 5c per packn

Is already pledged and absorbed to the extent of $50, 100000 increase on the grand list and in this way it is easy to explain why the machine leader stated that the grand list was still too low.
 "To summarize:
 Permission has been granted un- der this legislative act to issue grand total of $6, GOO 900 of bonds at the discretion of the city hall ma chine without consultation with. the people by referendum vote.
 And the lax excuse offered by the mayor for ignoring the people was given in his statement of December 4 1916, as follows:
 In view of the threats of some of the tnsincere commission form of government people and those opposed to the present administration, I be- deve that permission should be ob- tained from the legislature to issue bonds without using the referendum
 T will contrast this statement with a former expression from the mayor when he said in 1912: The wishes of our citizens should first be obtained and their expressed desires carried out. First submit bond projects to the voters
 ''In the year when Mayor Wilson took office the revenue from the 15.4 mills was the sum of $1,4s1,691. In the year closing, the revenue will pro duct $3,457,170, showing an increase in six years of tn enormous amount of 150 per cent. with a population in- crease of but 50 per cent.
 "In six years these people have spent from direct taxation the enor- nous sum of $13,500,000.
 up to October 1, this year, bonds had been issued to the amount of ST. 133,00O, making the grand total of money expended in six years $20,633,- 900.

 'I subscribe heartily to the pledge therein contained and hope you will feel able to do the same. My own experience causes me to know that the improper use of money in infiu- encing elections has been great evil in this Congressional district.

Senator Ogden l.. Mills offered TO
amend the measure to provide that the
proposed police force should not be
used in cities or villages unless called
