9 N FRANC! THE SA SCO CALL, MOND £ JULY 1, 1901 RAISES STATE'S RIGHTS QUESTION South Carolina to Fight Federal Revenue Tax Laws. Objects to Paying for Stamps for Use in Its Liquor Dispensaries. A A WASHINGTON, June 30.—The State of South Carolina, acting through the Gov- ernor snd Attorney General, has instituted | procecdings before the Commissioner of Internal Revenue to test the question whether the State can be legally required 10 take out special tax stamps as a whole- sale and retail liquor dealer under their State dispensary laws, and has made a demand upon the Commissioner for a re- ) fund of all such tax hitherto pald, | amoun 0 $4916. The principle at issue is far-reaching. | The one question involved is whether the | internal revenue laws of the United { States apply to the dispensary system of | South Carolina so as to entitle the Col- | lector to demand the payment of these | taxes. The entire dispensary system of | South Carolina is managed by a Board of | Commissioners, consisiing of three per- | wons, selected by the State Legislature, with Columbia as its headquarters. This | State dlspensacy distributes supplies to | the country dispensaries, and these 1in turn are managed by county dispensaries or agents, all being under the Board of | State Commissioners. Under the law no | liguor can be sold at night nor drunk on the premises of the dispensary. The li- quors are sold as the property of the| State and the profits accrue to the State. | The salaries of all the officers of the dis- penss _ , are fixed by law and do not de- | pend on the amount of their sales. | In the brief filed with the Commissioner of Internal Revenue on behalf of the| State it is contended that there is nothing | in the laws of the United States authoriz- ing the collection of internal revenue taxes which even impliedly authorize the fmposition of a tax against a State or its instrumentalities of government, and that such an act coutaining a provision taxing the instrumentalities of the State Govern- ment would be to that extent unconstitu- Tt tional is contended further that the property of a State and the means and in- strumentalities employed by it to carry its laws into operation cannot be taxed by the Federal Government, and an opin- ion of the late Judge Cooley on this ques- tion Is quoted.

INGRAM'S DISAPPEARANCE BAFFLES ALL SEARCHERS Efforts to Account for the Strange Passing| - of the Prominent Merchant of Sacra- mento Serve to g ACRAMENTO, June 30.—It is now within a few days of two months since the disappearance of Wil- liam Ingram, the Sacramento merchant, which was reported st the time exclusively in The Call. The ex- planation has not yet been accepted as to why Mr. Ingram should have surrendered possession of his property, worth $50,000, and gone away from the city with but $150 in his pocket and no clothes other than those on his back. Since the day of his’ departure, May 4, when he wrote several letters from San Francisco, giving no hint of trouble, be has not been seen or heard from. The best detectives in the State have been un- able to furnish the slightest information touching his whereabouts.

AR BREMING ON THE FMGER Strike of Four Thousand Fishermen Now in Progress. Officials Fear That Indians Will Battle With Japanese. Epeclal Dispatch to The Call. VANCOUVER, B. C., June 30.—At mid- night to-night the order for the strike of 4000 fishermen on the Fraser River goes into effect. The strike was declared at a special meeting of the Grand Lodge of the white and Indlan lodges held this mornin®. To-morrow not a single union boat will go out, and the white men have pledged themselves to stop the Japanese from casting their nets. Every effort has been made recently to | patch up the difficulty between the can- ners and the fishermen. E. P. Bremner, the Dominfon Government Labor Commis- sloner, was called to arbitrate, but no ar- rangement could be made. The decision has been made by the fishermen that not one of their boats shall go out to fish while prevailing conditions continue. The canners offered 12% cents for ‘the season, from July 1 to August 3, and 10 cents thereafter, which would be during the busy part of the season. The fishermen held. out for 12%-all through, which the | canners allege it is impossible to pay un- der present conditions and prices for | canned salmon. The Japanese on the river have | signed contracts at canners’ prices and will at once go to work. Prominent of- ‘ficers of the Fishermen’s Union say that | trouble may be looked for, as they do not intend to allow the Japanese to fish. They | assert that despite anything the authori- | ties can possibly do the Indians will help to operate a system of union patrol boats, which will stop the Japanese from work: ing by destroying their gear. The situa- tion is a serious one, for many of the whites and all the Indians are in bad tem | per toward the Japanese, whom they ac- cuse of treachery in negotiations with the canners. GREETING TO MACCABEES BY MEMBERS AT VALLEJO Throng of Visitors Warmly Wel- comed and Reception to Deputy Supreme Commander. VALLEJO, June $0.—Although the Mac- cabee jollification in this city was con- tinued far into last night, the hundreds of visitors did_not seem fatigued this morn- ing. When the steamer Frisble whistled here about 1i:30 o'clock the Maccabees and ladies aboard were greeted by the sight of a large welcoming concourse of their brothers on the wharf. When the visitors had landed the band they brought with them was placed at the head and all formed in procession to San Pablo Hall. There refreshments were served and afterward small parties visited the Navy Yard und other points of interest. i The chicf event of the day was the re- ception tendered District Deputy Supreme Commander Tichenor, which took place in the Bernard Hotel pariors. It was a fashionable social affair and a testimonial on the part of the local Maccabees to the successful work of the deputy in building up Vailejo Tent to such splendid propor- tions. The reception continued until boat time, when all marched to the front, where the visitors took their leave.

MARKED INCREASE IN TRADE WITH PHILIPPINES ‘WASHINGTON, June 30.—A marked in- crease in the trade of the Philippine Is- lands during the colonial era over the commerce of the previous year is set down in a statement given out to-day by the Division of Insular Affairs of the War Department. The value of imports of mer- chandise and silver for 1900 is set down at $27,765,100. This, according to the War De- partment's statement, was the greatest importage for any single year in the his- tory of the archipelago, In 1809 imports amounted to $20,440.074 in value, thus show- ing an increase of nearly 326 favor of 1900. iy The statistics of imports into the islands from the United States include a large amount of machinery and imports of mer- ghandise and such stapies as wheat, fiour, , co Biny Fme;':mde!?n manufacturés and e imports from the United Sta; ¥ rect for 1900 show an increase of ;gosl%‘ over those of 18%.
