Chief Lees' detectives have spent the entire urban towns and the outlying districts of this city in the hope of finding some faint clew of the missing fugitive's whereabouts. The letter written by Mr. Little of Wells, Fargo & Co. to a prominent business man in this city, in which he stated that he saw Howard on the Oregon overland last Saturday night, gave the police a rather live clew to the fugitive's where- abouts.

The Government will see that the law is obeyed, but it is the duty of the State to see that corporations reaping vast profit yearly under the protection of its laws shall do their duty toward the people. It has been suggested here that the company may evade the payment of the war tax by refusing to accept packa; revenue tax has been affixed by the ship per to the manifest. 1f the company does this we may see fit to annul the corpor: tion and place the business in other hands. It has also been suggested that if this company is held liable for the war tax it will raise the e this is not an issue h cuss it, but if the ccmpany should foliow this course in event of adverse decision there is time ahead for those intrusted to enforce the law to In the above langua Ford closed his argu Troutt yesterday in the matter of the ap- plication of W.

Anderson, on behalf of the people, for a writ of mandate to com- pel Wells, Fargo & Co. to bear its 2 of war expenses and affix the proper stamp to each receipt issued, Instead of compelling the people to bear this burden, which the law never int When the matter Attorney General Ford and his W. M. Abbott, appeared for the petitic while the defendant was represen Attorney A. Sutro in the of B, Pillsbury, attorney of record. The of the case on which the action s 0 be determined are these: On October 19 last W. H. Anderson, then Assistant Attorney” General, presented to Wells, Fargo & Co. a package for ship ment to Sacramento press char were paid by Mr. Anderson, but the com- pa revenue stamp of one cent to the bill of lading or manifest. Contending th wus the duty of the corporation the not complied with, an thereupon refused to forward ge. Upon such refusal a petl- tion for a writ of mandate to be difected against the company compelling it to af- amp was applied fo Attorney General Ford first addressed the court. He contended under the law it was plalnly the duty of the company to furnish, affix and cancel the stamp and not that of the shipp Continuing, he said: “‘Under the war revenue : the duty of the carrier to issue see ment be abse s It that by the s been t a written seller to ued. ement given amped before i that the requi memorandum be the buyer of oral nemorandum ntorgi collec me rule applies press companie: “If a receipt be s affixed tion issu such to recelpts issued by . sued without a stamp there is no penalty T iving of the penalty being imposed on t ing the same, It en held on who mak E the must affix the stamp thereto, the burden being plainly imposed on the maker of the receipt.’ On this line Attorney General Ford made further argument. He said that the ship- per was indiffercnt as to whether w re- ceipt was_fssued or not. All he asked was that h goods be accepted and for- warded upon the payment of the usua charge, hut for its own protection the comparny was forced to Issue the receis it was its duty to pay the X. Mr. Sutro followed Mr. IFord and in part p preseribed th person i the thout much calculation it can read- ily be seen that the forcing of this burden upon the company would result in a gre: hardship, while on the other hand even the largest shippers could not complain. If the company was compelled to affix these stamps as it Is herein intended to compel it, it would result in an annual loss of about $160,000, or, in other words, a sum equal to % per cent of its entire capital stock. But from matters of fact those of law, I wish to impress upon the court that the revenue tax law does not provide for a direct tax, and if it is such | it is unconstitutional, as it is not properly apportioned among the States in accord- ance with their population. The fdea and purpose of the stamp tax act is to evi- dence transactions, and it is, in fact, not a tax upon the instrument, but on the transaction. In consequence the question arises, Who is the beneficlary of the trans. It is not denied that the com- pany is the beneficiary to the extent of its profit as a shipper of packages, but, the benefit of the transaction fal to those between whom the commodities I company. There is nothing in which denotes who shall pay the tax. Even under the opinion of the United ates Attorney General it is admitted that the Government failed to direct who shall pay this tax, the purpose of the law being fully subserved if all evidences of actions bear the proper stamp, it matters not who shall bear the burden of taxation. At this point Mr. Sutro endeavored to mpress his contention upon the court that the law was framed for the purpose of se- curing the attention and service of the corporations in enforcing the law itions from a decision ren- ge Morrow, in which it dates Quo dered by J | held that in the opinfon of the court the penalty imposed upon telegraph compa- nies of $10 for accepting unstamped mes sages and $100 upon individuz unstamped messages was for the purp of compelling senders of messages to bear the tax, the penalty imposed upon the company for acepting unstamped me ages having as its object the securing of orporate a ‘e to enforce the law He claimed that the case wa: inction between a m interest between the sender, who prepared such message, and the receiver, while a bill of lading or manifest was prepared by the express company and issued for the joint benefit of the company and the shipper. In answer to this r. Sutro quoted from section 6 of the war revenue law, which reads: “That on and after the 1st day of July, 1898, there shall be levied, collected and paid for and in respect of the several bonds, debentures or certifi- cates of stock and of Indebtedness, and other documents, instruments, matters and things mentioned and described in schedule A of this act, or for or in respect of the vellum, parchment or paper upon which such instruments, matters things, or any of them, shall be written or printed by any person or persons or arty who ame, or o ad age clearly of eral taxes or figures against the same, re: g ctherwise specified or set fort schedule.”” he words included in this section * any person or persons or party who shall make, sign or issue the same, or for w use or benefit the same shall be made,” in the said HAYWARDS, Aug. 2..—F.
