Warehouses vs. Dispensary. Commissioner Miller Writes to Secretary Carlisle. WASAIXGTON, Oct. 18.-Secretary Carlisle has forwarded to Attorney General Olney, for his decision, the letter of Revenue Commissioner Mil? ler, which presents in detail the ques? tion raised between Governor Til im an of Sooth Carolina and the United States authorities as to the juris? diction of each in the enforcement or the South Carolina dispensary law The letter is as follows : WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct 16, 1894. Hon. John G. Carlisle, Secretary of the Treasury : Sir: I enclose herewith a letter from Governor Tillman of South Carolina, and a printed copy for? warded by kim of the State dispen? sary law, and I have the honor to re? quest that the same may be submitted to the honorable Attorney General for his opinion as to the course which should be taken by this office in the event of seizures by State officers for confiscation, nuder the dispen? sary law, of distilled spirits deposi . ted in distillery bonded warehouses under tbe internal revenue laws. It is proper to state that the natural effect of acqoiescene by this office in the conree proposed to be taken would be the probable com? plete destruction of the bonded warehouse system within the State ; the consequent cessation of the busi? ness of manufacturing distilled spirits under the internal revenue laws, and the loss to the United States of further income from that source. The dispensary law, it appears has been construed by the State Supreme Court as not absolutely prohibiting the manufacture and sale of distilled spirits. Bot it appears also that under the law a distiller in the State cannot sell his product to private persons within the State, nor, if I rightly apprehend the provisions of the third section, to private persons to be shipped out of the State, but only to the State commissioner or to persons outside of the State and under regulations which would seriously inconvenience the shipper Under such restrictions there would hardly be any further lawful produc? tion of distilled spirits within the State. No distiller would be willing to produce an article to be sold ouly on compulsion to a single purchaser and at the price fixed by him. - The question* fs^roallyT .presented whether a State can so legislate as incidentally to deprive the United Sf.ates of one of its declared sources of revenue, and it appere to me a proper matter for the consideration of the highest law officer of the govern? ment -The Supreme ; Court in Mc? Cullough vs. Mayland, 4, Wheat, 316., declared that "the States have no power* byriaxalion or otherwise, to retard, impede, burden, or in any manner control the operations of the Constitutional laws enacted by Con? gress to carry into effect the powers vested to the national government." In Ilannibal and St. J.R. E. Co., vs. Husen, 95, U. S., 965, it was held that "neither the unlimited powers of a State to tax, nor any of its large police powers, can be exercise so as to work a practical assumption of the powers conferred by the Constitution upon Congress. " And in numerous other cases it has been held to the same effect. On the other hand, in such cases as the Boston Beer Co , vs. Massachu? setts^ 9T^U. S., 2^ the right , of the State"toli!)8oliately:p"rohTbit the niami factnreand sale of intoxicaitng li? quors was upheld ? Applying what ajeare) to teethe, established law to tne^present case, it would seem that while the State of South Carol ina has tbe-righ t, in-the exercise of its police power to pro? hibit the ^omuitt?Qrc ?pf and traffic in distfJiei :?pigtif f?tf?B fte S|ate, it is doubtful if it has a right, without prohibiting the manufacture or traffic, to practically take possession of the business in ail its details and carry it on, and through its own agencies, for its own profits, thus perhaps forcing the united States to surrender the in? come deprived by the source hereto? fore relied upon. It follows, of course, that if one State may do ibis, al! may, and the police power of the States will have been "so exercised as to work a practical assumption of the powers of Congress, and, to "impede, burden and control the operation of its laws.7' You will note thht the Governor proposes to recognize the lien of the United States upon the spirits in the warehouses for the taxes due thereon, and to pay the same. The law (sec? tion 48 and 50 of the act of Con? gress, August 28, 1894,) limits the right of withdrawal of spirits from the warehouse to the distiller himself The State now proposes to personate the d?sr??fer. cSueli "authority has been denied by United States courts to State officers. See "McCullough, jr., vs. Henry Large, U. S. Circuit Court, Western District of Pennsyl? vania, at the May term, 1894-Jnstsce Bradley of the Supreme Court con? curring. It is to be observed also that it fre? quently happens that a distiller is in? debted to the government in a sum greater than the tax upon the spirits themselves then in warehouses Such indebtedness is, by section 3,251 of the Revised Statutes, declared to be a lien apon the property and rights to property of the distiller. Taking spirits by the State in the manner proposed might easily impair, if not destroy, the ability of the govern ment to collect its debt. For my own guidance I wish to be particularly advised whether or not I may lawfully consent to permit the withdrawal of spirits in bonded warehouses in the State of South Carolina upon seizure therein by the State and tender of tax to the collect? or, or upon judgment of forfeiture by the State court. Governor Tillman personally re? quested yesterday an early reply to his inquiry, lie was told, however, that the matter is under consideration and will be disposed of as soon as possible.
