PITTA RD, ARE FOREIGN LANDS Supreme Court Defines Status of Our island Possessions. RELATES TO TAXING PIRPOSES Constitution and Flag Do Not Go To gether, Says Decision^—Con gress May Dictate —Four Justices Dissent. The United States supreme court Monday handed down opinions cover ing all of the issues on the new insu lar possessions have been in controversy. Although several of the decisions upheld the contestants on certain is sues raised, yet the most important decision, that of Downes against Bid well, Justice Brown announces the sweeping decision of the. court uphold ing the general attitude and policy of the government up to the present time. The effect of this decision is to af firm the constitutionality of the For aker act and to give congress power to deal with a newly acquired terri tory in such manner as the legislative branch may consider suitable for the new territory The declaration also has the effect of declaring that the new insular possessions do not by vir tue of tho treaty of cession acquire all the privileges and rights of the constitution. Of the several cases decided Mon day the two whic h attracted the great est share of attention from the court were what is known as the De Lima case and that known as the Downes case, ami of those two tlc opinion in the Downes case is considered the most far reaching, as it affects the future, whereas the De Lima ease dealt with a transitional phase of our insular relations. What De Lima Case Involved. The De Lima case involved the pow er of the government to collect duty on goods imported into the United States from Porto Rico after the rati fication of the treaty of Paris and be fore the passage of the, Porto Ric an act. The court said the government’s contention in this case was substan tially a claim that Porto Rico is a for eign territory. The entire case turn ed upon that contention, 'i he court held that the position was not well taken; that Porto Rico was not at the time foreign territory, and that therefore the duty which had been collected must be returned. The decision in the Dowries ease fol lowed the history of the dealings of the government of United States with Porto Rico a step further. That ease dealt with the legality of ibe exaction of duties on goods imported from Porto Rico into New York after the passage of the ForaUer act, providing for a duty on goods shipped from the United States into Porto Rico, and also on those shipped from Porto Rico to the United States, in this case the court held that such exaction was legal and constitutional. The point of the two opinions con sidered collectively is that Porto Rico was never after the acquisition of that island foreign territory; that un til congress acted upon the question no duty could be collected, but that as soon as congress outlined a method of controlling the island’s revenues, that acton became binding; in other words, that congress has power un der the constitution to prescribe the manner of collecting the revenues of the country’s insular possessions, and has the right to lay a duty on goods imported into our insular possessions from the United States, or exported from them into the United States. It holds, in brief, that for taxation pur poses, they are not a part of the Uni ted States to the extent that goods shipped between their ports and the United States are not entitled to the same treatment as though they were shipped between New Y'ork and New Orleans. Dissenting Opinions. The chief dissenting opinion in the Downes ease was announced by Chief Justice Fuller, Justices Harlan, Brew er and Peekham joining in the dissent. He said the majority, though widely differing in their reasoning, seemed to concur in the view that Porto Rico be longs to the United States, but never theless is not a part of the United States, subject to the provisions of the constitution in respect to taxes. Justice Harlan said: “In my opin ion congress has no existence and can exercise no authority outside of the constitution. The idea that this coun try may acquire territories anywhere upon the earth by conquest or treaty and hold them as mere colonies or provinces, is wholly inconsistent with the spirit and genius as with the words of the constitution. It will be an evil day for American liberty if the theory of a government outside of the su preme law of the land finds lodgment in our constitutional jurisprudence.” ANARCHISTS CLAIM MURDER.
