Rambo, su perintendent of Public Grounds and Buildings, by William M. Hargest, Deputy Attorney General. The opinion is the tirst to be rendered _on the new tax at the Capitol and Mr. Hargest sup ports his conclusions by numerous ci tations that the Federal Government can not tax a State Government in such matterns and states that the Commis sioner of Internal Revenue acquiesces in the conclusion. Mr. Hargest says: "It is necessary in carrying out the governmental func tions of the estate, through its vari ous departments, to send various ar ticles of merchandise, supplies, docu ments and literature by freight and ex press. It is also necessary, in trans acting tlie business of the various de partments of the state, to use both the telegraph arid telephone for long dis tance messages. The use of these agencies in the performance of govern mental duties are clearly instrumental ities of the state government and when so used, there is no power in the federal government to impose a tax thereon. "Speelflcially answering your inquiry 1 have to advise you that no tax is re quired upon the bills of lading for the shipments of the state property for which, if a stamp were issued, the state or any of the departments thereof would be required to pay, and telephone and telegraph companies are not re quired to pay a tax upon messages, or conversations and dispatches for which a charge of fifteen cents or more are imposed, if such dispatches, messages and conversations are sent to or from the various departments of the state government in performance of the gov ernmental functions of the state, and Paid for by the state."

TIMETABLE WASTE WILL BE CUT DDI No Charge to Be Made as Report ed; to Econpmize Distribution Reports that the Pennsylvania Rail road, with other railroads, would charge the nominal sum of one cent for time tables was vigorously denied to-day at the local ticket offices. It had been reported that railroads were planning to have schedules distributed with the aid of a slot machine device, and that one cent would be charged for every schedule. There will be some economizing in train schedules, however, and it is pro- Eosed to not only cut down the num er of places where printed schedules can be had, but to place them in charge of men who will see that schedules are not thrown away. It is probable that n small rental will be paid for a schedule board in hotels and cigar stores, with the understanding that a close watch be given these boards by clerks and proprietors. There is no kick on the distribution of schedules at railroad stations, but it is said that at many places where schedules can be had, boys steal an as sortment of schedules for the fun of throwing them away Inter.
