The main purpose of this book is to publish in convenient form for official use information concerning the title of the United States to the various military reservations, including the national military parks and the national cemeteries, and also the statutes of the several States by which political jurisdiction over military reservations lo- cated therein has been ceded to the United States. The statement of title describes the deeds under which the lands comprising some of the reservations, or portions thereof, have been acquired, and the Executive orders under which other lands have been reserved from the public domain for military purposes. It describes, also, all ease- ments affecting the title of any reservation, and the leases and licenses granted for any use and occupation of the same, except that unim- portant licenses and short-term leases have in some cases been omitted. This book also contains a table of the reservations that have passed from the control of the War Department since 1850, giving the dates of and authority both for their acquisition and disposition with references to acts of Congress, general orders, etc.. in connec- tion therewith. In an appendix, under the several titles " Eminent domain," "Jurisdiction," "Title," and "Taxation," there has been brought together a large number of syllabi and extracts from court decisions, and opinions of the Attorney General and of the Judge Advocate General which bear directly upon these subjects. 8 UNITED STATES MILITARY RESERVATIONS.

There appears to be no record of the cession by* deed as contem- plated in the act, but notwithstanding this fact, it was held by Attorney- General Akerman, in an opinion dated April 15, 1871, that the jurisdiction of the United States over Fort Trumbull was un- questionable. In his opinion he said (XIII Opinions, 411) : It is not questioned that the land is owned by the United States, or that the purchase was with the consent of the legislature of the State. There is wanting a formal deed of cession which the legislature intended should be executed on the part of the State. Such a formality is not necessary to give jurisdiction. The purchase by the United States, and the consent of the legislature to the purchase, gave to Congress the exclusive power of legislation over the purchased land. (Constitution of the United States, Art. I, sec. 8.) A legislative consent to the purchase could be given either before or after the purchase, and such consent, whenever given, together with the fact of the purchase, establishes the jurisdiction of the United States.

Under act of February 19, 1906, the United States acquired full title to the premises granted thereby, being two lots measuring 200 by 225 feet, approximately, it appearing that there were no private rights therein. These lots were acquired with the understanding that the Life- Saving Service should have the permanent use of all of the land ex- cept a small portion in the northwest corner, measuring 40 feet along Ion Street by 75 feet deep, which was required for a secondary mine defense observing station. Pursuant to this understanding, the transfer was made by letter to the Secretary of the Treasury, dated September 14, 1906. The act of December 24, 1894, provides "That all streets, roads, and highways within the said tracts or parcels of land " (i. e., those granted by the act) " are vacated and discontinued from the time the said grant becomes effectual." The act of February 9, 1900, contains the same provision, with the addition of the words " except as herein otherwise provided." This is understood to refer to the exceptions from the grant by the words " excepting from the area described those portions which are occupied and in use by the public as highways, known as Central Avenue and Beach Avenue." (Acts of S. C, 1900, p. 422.) The act of February 8, 1901, grants title to "the land comprising those portions of Central Avenue and Beach Avenue " which lie be- tween Pettigru and Sumter Streets (i. e., those portions within the reservation), and vacates and discontinues said portion of Beach Avenue as a public highway, upon the following provisos : That the portion of Central Avenue herein ceded shall be forever tept open as a public street ; and this cession shall in no way interfere with any private rights, or any franchise heretofore legally granted with reference to said Cen- tral Avenue: And provided, further, That this State reserves the right to au- thorize the laying and maintaining of tracks for railroad or traction purposes on and across the portion of Central Avenue ceded, or on lands contiguous thereto, and lying within 15 feet of the same. (Acts of S. C, 1901, p. 608.) The act of March 2, 1903, contains, substantially, the same provi- sion vacating streets, etc., within the area granted, with an exception of Central Avenue, and further provides — ■ that the portion of Central Avenue within the tract herein ceded shall be for- ever Iiept open as a public street, and shall, together with its continuation through the Government reservation, be liept in proper condition and repair by the Government ; and this cession shall in no way interfere with any private rights or any franchise heretofore legally granted with reference to said Central Avenue: And provided, further, That this State reserves the right to authorize the laying and maintaining of traclis for railroad or traction purposes on or across the portion of Central Avenue ceded, or on lands contiguous thereto, and lying within fifteen feet of the same. (Acts of S. C, 1903, p. 4.) The acts of February 22, 1905, and February 19, 1906, contain a provision vacating " all streets, roads, rights of way, and highways within said tract or parcel of land * * * from the time the said grant becomes effectual, saving such as are expressly excepted or reserved in this act " — this exception referring to the following pro- visions of the act : Provided, further, And the said grant is made subject to the following reser- vations and exception, to wit : that such portion of the front beach of said Sullivan's Island included within the limits of said grant, as lies below a line drawn along said beach twenty (20) feet above high water mark, and parallel SOUTH CAROLINA. 375 thereto, shall be always open to the public as a footway and driveway, so that the public shall have the free and unobstructed right of passage by foot and carriage upon, over and across the same, subject to the right of the said United State Government to close and exclusively occupy the same, so far as the reservations in this proviso are concerned, at the following times and under the following circumstances, to wit: 1. During hours of actual target practice in, over or upon the said portion of the said premises (during (or prior to) which time of closure, due and proper notice of the same shall be given to the public). 2. During hours of actual military drill in, over and upon the said portion of the said premises, and 3. During time of war. (Acts of S. C, 1905, p. 825.) The act of February 20, 1908, as amended by act of March 4, 1909 (Acts, S. C, 1909, p. 180) , provides that the portions of streets and avenues within the tract granted therebj' " shall be forever kept open as public streets"; that the cession "shall in no way interfere with the private rights of any franchise heretofore legally granted with reference to Middle Street and Central Avenue " ; and grants the " streets and avenues between the east and west lines of the original reservation of Fort Moultrie, as said reservation existed on January first, eighteen hundred and ninety-four * * * subject to the same provisos and conditions."

C, and, together with an area between the Georgetown and Alexandria road and the Potomac River of about 330 acres, jurisdiction as to which is in the Department of Agricul- ture (act of Apr. 18, 1900, as amended June 3, 1902; 32 Stat., 293), contains, according to survey, about 1,040 acres, with metes and bounds as given in G. O. 27, W. D., Feb. 10, 1909. To this was added, in 1913, 3.7165 acres for a road between the Potomac Highway Bridge and the reservation, making the total area of the reservation about 1,050 acres. The following statement under " Title " contains a full description of the title, etc., to the reservation : Title. — This tract of land, improved by sundry buildings, etc., the legal title to which, under the will of George W. Parke Custis, who died in 1857, was in Mrs. Mary Ann Randolph Lee, the wife of Gen. Robert E. Lee, for life, with remainder over to George AA'ashington Custis Lee in fee conditional, was taken possession of by the United States in the spring of 1861 as within their mili^'iry lines and the immediate scene of important military operations against an enemy then in arms against the Government, and so continued in possession for such purposes after the course of events had carried militarj' occu- pation and operations elsewhere, as a defensible position for fortifi- cations to command the capital. Subsequently, under a certain di- rect tax act of June 7, 1862 (12 Stat., 422), and February 6, 1863 (12 Stat., 640), a tax was assessed against the property, and, in de- fault of payment, the usual sale was had, when the United States, pursuant to authority of law, bid in the property at the tax sale " for Government use for war, military, charitable, and educational pur- poses," and under this title continued in possession until 1883. Dur- ing this period a considerable part of the property was devoted to a cemetery for deceased soldiers of the United States, under the style of the "Arlington National Cemetery"; another considerable part for the erection of a fort and the works connected therewith, under the name of " Fort "^^Hiipple," subsequently changed to " Fort IMyer " ; and a third and smaller part for the occupation of homeless and destitute freedmen and colored refugees. After the close of the war, Mrs. Lee having deceased, the remain- derman, George W. P. C. Lee, claiming that the tax sale was defect- ive, brought an action of ejectment in the circuit court for the county of Alexandria, Va., which was removed by a writ of certiorari into the circuit court of the United States, where it was heard and deter- mined in favor of the claimant. From this decision the case was talten to the Supreme Court on writs of error, and the latter court, at its October term, 1882, affirmed the judgment in favor of Mr. Lee, on the ground that tlio tax certificate and sale did not divest the plaintiff of his title to the property. (See U. S. v. Lee; Kaufman v. Lee, 16 Otto, 196.) Under this new condition of affairs, involving a possible 412 UNITED STATES MILITABY BESEEVATIONS, ETO. removal of thousands of bodies from the cemetery, the dismantling of a fort, and the dispossession of many colored people whom the United States had permitted to reside on a part of the tract, and in order to secure a complete title to the property, the United States, under au- thority of an act approved March 3, 1883 (22 Stat., 584), accepted an offer of Mr. Lee to convey the same, with covenant of general warranty against every manner of claim against or in respect of said property, in rem or in personam, and also against all and every claim for damages on account of the use or occupation of said property, for the sum of $150,000. Accordingly, on the 31st of March, 1883, for and in consideration of $125,000 in hand paid ($25,000 being retained until jurisdiction should be ceded by the State of Virginia, with perpetual exemption from taxation), the estate all and singular was conveyed to the United States by deed in fee simple by George W. P. C. Lee for him- self, his heirs, and assigns forever (deed recorded in book F 4, records Alexandria Comity, Va., p. 257, May 14, 1883) ; and on the 25th of March, 1884, the General Assembly of the State of Virginia having, by act approved February 23, 1884, ceded its jurisdiction over the said land and exempted the same from taxation, the final payment of $25,000 was made, and the Arlington estate became the property of the United States.

Walton Moore, trustees, dated April 2, 1913, conveying a strip of land 70 feet in width lead- ing from near the southeast corner of the reservation to the Highway Bridge containing 3.7165 acres.

Right in the State. — The right to take property, for public uses, is inherent in government. The State possesses this right as one of the rights of sovereignty. (Gilmore ;•. Lime Point, 18 Cal., 229.) A " fort " is an object of " public use," and a State may, for its own purposes, condemn land for a fort, or may authorize the land to be condemned for such purposes, for and on behalf of the general government. (Ibid.) Assuming that the federal government has the power to condemn private land within a State for the purposes of a " fort," still that power is not exclusive of the power of the State. (Ibid.) But it seems to be now well settled that the exercise of this right for national purposes is not among the ends contemplated in the cre- ation of State governments. (See Trombley v. Humphrey, 23 Mich., 471.) The right of eminent domain is inherent in the State and not con- ferred by the Constitution, and may be delegated by the legislature to any corporation or individual who shall comply with the terms upon which the right is given. (Moran v. Boss, 79 Cal., 159. See also 23 Mich., 471, supra.) Hoto far power of State restricted.— The right of eminent domain over the shores and the soil under the navigable waters, for all munic- ipal purposes, belongs exclusively to the States within their respec- tive territorial jurisdictions, and they, and they only, have the con- stitutional power to exercise it. * * * But in the hands of the State this power can never be used so as to affect the exercise of any National right of eminent domain or jurisdiction with which the United States have been invested by the Constitution. (lb.) Power of the Federal Gooernment. — In the new Territories, where the government of the United States exercises sovereign authority, it possesses as incident thereto, the right of eminent domain, which it may exercise directly or through the territorial government; but this right passes from the nation to the newly formed TState whenever the latter is admitted into the Union. So far, however, as the gen- eral government may deem it important to appropriate lands or other property for its own purposes, and to enable it to perform its func- tions — as must sometimes be necessary in the case of forts, light- houses, military posts or roads, and other conveniences and necessities of government — the general government may still exercise the author- ity, as well within the States as within the territory, under its exclu- sive jurisdiction, and its right to do so may be supported by the same reasons which support the right in any case ; that is to say, the abso- lute necessity that the means in the government for performing its 491 492 UNITED STATES MILITARY EESEEVATIONS, ETC. functions and perpetuating its existence should not be liable to be controlled or defeated by the want of consent of private parties, or of any other authority. (Cooley on Constitutional Limitations, 645.) Property already devoted to piihlic use in a local community {not a State) may he taken. — The power of appropriating private property to public purposes is an incident of sovereignty. And it may be, that by the exercise of this power, under extraordinary emergencies, property which had been dedicated to public use, but the enjoyment of which was principally limited to a local community (not a State) , might be taken for higher and national purposes, and disposed of on the same principles which subject private property to be taken. In a government of limited and specified powers, like ours, such a power can be exercised only in the mode provided by law. (New Orleans v. The United States, 10 Peters, p. 723.) State jurisdiction. — It is in the power of either of the States to take land of its citizens for public use by special act and without interven- tion of jury, but on payment of reasonable indemnity ascertained by commissioners. A public use of the United States is a public use of each of the States of the Union. Consent of a State to the purchase of land within it conveys, in general, jurisdiction to the United States; but not when all jurisdiction is expressly reserved by the State. (Vol. 8, p. 30, Opinions Attorneys-General. Seabrook's Island Case. See Trombley v. Homphrey, 23 Mich., 471, and au- thorities cited per contra as to propostion first above stated.) How far right may te exercised iy the United States. — The right of eminent domain exists in the government of the United States, and may be exercised by it within the States, so far as is necessary to the enjoyment of the powers conferred upon it by the Constitution. (Kohl et al. v. The United States, 91 U. S., 367.) For what purposes private property taken — Right in United States can not be enlarged or diminished by State — When consent of State needed. — It is a right belonging to a sovereignty to take private prop- erty for its own uses, and not for those of another. Beyond that there exists no necessity, which alone is the foundation of the right. If the United States have the power, it must be complete in itself. It can neither be enlarged nor diminished by a State. Nor can any State prescribe the manner in which it must be exercised. The con- sent of a State can never be a condition precedent to its enjoyment. Such consent is needed only, if at all, for the transfer of jurisdiction and of the right of exclusive legislation after the land shall have been acquired. (lb.) An exposition of the right of. — The powers vested by the Constitu- tion in the general government demand for their exercise the acquisi- tion of land in all the States. They are needed for forts, armories, and arsenals, for navy-yards and light-houses, for custom-houses, post-offices, and court-houses, and for other public uses. If the right to acquire property for such uses may be made a barren right by the unwillingness of property holders to sell, or by the action of a State prohibiting a sale to the Federal Government, the constitutional grants of power may be rendered nugatory, and the government is dependent for its practical existence upon the will of the State, or even upon that of a private citizen. This can not be. No one doubts the existence in the State governments of the right of eminent domain — a right distinct from and paramount to the right of ultimate APPENDIX. 493 ownership. It grows out of the necessity of their being, not out of the tenure by which lands are held. It may be exercised, though the lands are not held by grant from the government, either mediately or immediately, and independent of the consideration whether thev would escheat to the government in case of a failure of heirs. The right is the offspring of political necessity ; and it is inseparable from its sovereignty, unless denied to it by its fundamental laws. (Ibid.) Of State confined to State purposes. — This State has no authority, by virtue of its eminent domain, to condemn private lands within its boundaries for the purpose of turning the same over to the United States for the erection and maintenance of light-houses thereon. Act No. 119 of 1867 (Session Laws 1867, p. 158), which undertakes to authorize the governor to do this is unconstitutional, for the reason that its enactments are not within the sphere of State powers, and if put in force would constitute an appropriation of the property of individuals without due process of law. (Tromblev v. Humphrey, 23 Mich., 471.) Defined — Necessity justifies its exercise. — The eminent domain is the rightful authority which exists in every sovereignty to control and regulate those rights of a public nature which pertain to its citi- zens in common, and to appropriate and control individual property for the public benefit, as the public safety, necessity, convenience and welfare may demand. It has its foundation in the imperative law of necessity which alone justifies and limits its exercise. (Ibid.) Right of, in the United States. — The United States in the exercise of its sovereignty, and as a part of its provision for the regulation, control and protection of commerce, may erect light-houses and in the exercise of its eminent domain, by observing the constitutional re- quirements of making due compensation therefor, neize and condemn the property of individuals for that purpose. (Ibid.) Exercise of this right for national purposes not contemplated in creation of State governments. — The right of eminent domain in any sovereignty exists only for its own purposes; and to furnish machin- ery to the general government for it to appropriate lands for national objects is not among the ends contemplated in the creation of the State government. (Ibid.) Consent of State not a condition precedent. — The consent of a State is not a condition precedent to the taking of lands by the general gov- ernment. Its consent is required only for the purpose of a transfer of jurisdiction. (Ibid. See, also, Darlington i\ United States, 82 Penn. St. Eep., 382; and Kohl v. United States, 91 U. S., 367.) Private property can only be taken for public use, and whether or not a use is public is a question for the court. (Ibid. See, also, mat- ter of Deansville Cemetery Association, 66 New York, 569 ; and mat- ter of New York Central and Hudson Eiver Railroad Company, 77 New York, 248.) Constitutional law — Grants by State to the United States. — A State legislature may delegate the right of eminent domain to an agent of the United States for the purpose of obtaining land in such State as a site for a post-ofRce. (Burt, Petitioner, -v. The ^Merchants" Insurance Company, 106 Mass. Eep., 356.) Note. — The above case shows the power to be delegated to an agent of the United States and Is not an exercise of power of eminent domain by the State for the purpose of turning the property over to the United States, or, as stated 494 UNITED STATES MILITAKY EESERVATIONS, ETC. therein : " By an act of the legislature of Massachusetts an agent of the United States was authorized to purchase land in the State for the site of a Post-Office. The act provided that when the agent and the owners of the land could not agree upon the price there should be an appraisement made by a jury. Held, that in order to obtain the land and the appraisement, it was not necessary that the owner should first consent to a sale." A State can not exercise it in hehdlf of the United States. — The United States may exercise the right of eminent domain within a State; but a State can not exercise it in behalf of the United States. The State may take the property of a citizen for public uses by virtue of its right of eminent domain, but it can not take it for the benefit of another sovereignty, for the use of the citizens of the latter, nor can it delegate its right of eminent domain to another sovereignty for such purposes. (Darlington v. The United States, 82 Penn. St. Rep., 382, criticises Gilmer v. Lime Point, 18 Cal., p. 229, and Burt, Petitioner, V. The Merchants' Ins. Co., 106 Mass., 356, and declares the law to be well stated in Trombley v. Humphrey, 23 Mich., 471 ; also in Kohl v. The United States, 91 U. S., 367.) The United States may exercise right in State court under a State lav\ — The State legislature may authorize proceedings in the State Courts on behalf of the Federal Government to acquire title to lands for a public use, the benefit of which is shared by the citizens of the State; and while the Federal Government may, as an independent sovereignty, condemn lands within a State for its use, by proceedings in its own courts, it may, as a petitioner in a State court, accomplish the same end through proceedings under a State law. (In the matter of the Petition of the United States for the appoint- ment of Commissioners, etc., 96 N. Y., 227.) The supremacy of the Government of the United States. — -The United States is a government with authority extending over the whole territory of the Union, acting upon the States and the people of the States. While it is limited in the number of its powers, so far as its sovereignty extends it is supreme. No State government can exclude it from the exercise of any authority conferred upon it by the Constitution, obstruct its authorized officers against its will or withhold from it, for a moment, the cognizance of any subject which that instrument has committed to it. (Tennessee v. Davis 100 U. S., 263.) The power an incident of_ sovereignty. — The power to take private property^ for public uses, in the exercise of the right of eminent domain, is an incidentof sovereignty, belonging to every independent government, and requiring no constitutional recognition and it exists in the Government of the United States. (United States v Jones Administrator et al., 109 U. S., 513.) ' Compensation a constitutional limitation — How fixed and deter- mined. — The liability to make compensation for private property taken for public uses is a constitutional limitation of the right of eminent domain. As this limitation forms no part of the power to take private property for public uses, the government of the United States may delegate to a tribunal, created under the laws of a State the power to fix and^determine the amount of compensation to be paid by the United States for private property taken by them in the exer cise of their right of eminent domain; or, it may, if it pleases, create a special tribunal for that purpose. (Ibid.) APPENDIX. 495 Right of United States to make title by expropriation. — The United States may lawfully make title to land in one of the States by expropriation as of the eminent domain of such State, and with assent thereof. (Vol. 7, p. 114, Opins. Attys. Genl., Washington Acmeduct Case.) Private property can he taken for public use ordy where provision for compensation therefor is m,ade by law. — The Constitution de- clares that private property shall not be taken " for public use with- out just compensation." It does not provide or require that com- pensation shall actually be paid in advance of occupancy of land to be taken. But the owner is entitled to reasonable, certain, and ade- quate provision for obtaining compensation before his occupancy is disturbed. When there is no provision for compensation, private property should not be taken against the consent of the owner for public use. (Cherokee Nation v. Kansas Railway Company, 135 U. S., 641, 661; Dig. Opin. J. A. G., 1912, p. 913-a.) When private property taken for public use, just compensation must be made to owner. — When property to which the United States assert no title, is taken by their officers or agents, pursuant to an act of Congress, as private property, for the public use, the govern- ment is under an implied obligation to make just compensation to the owner. (The United States v. Great Falls Manufacturing Com- pany, H2 U. S., 645.) Claim, of owner for just compensation arises out of implied con- tract. — Such an implication being consistent with the constitutional duty of the government, as well as with common justice, the owner's claim for compensation is one arising out of implied contract, within the meaning of the Statute defining the jurisdiction of the Court of Claims, although there may have been no formal proceedings for the condemnation of the property to public use. (Ibid.) The owner m,ay elect to treat the taking of his property as an exer- cise of the right and. demand compensation. — The owner may waive any objection he might be entitled to make, based upon the want of formal proceedings, and electing to regard the action of the govern- ment as a taking under its sovereign right of eminent domain, may demand just compensation for the property. (Ibid.) Legislative and judicial domain distinguished. — Of the necessity or expediency of exercising the right of eminent domain in the appro- priation of private property to public uses, the opinion of the legisla- ture or of the corporate body or tribunal upon which it has con- ferred the power to determine the question, is conclusive upon the courts, since such a question is essentially political in its nature, and not judicial. But the question whether tfie specified use is a public use or purpose, or such use or purpose as will justify or sustain the compulsory taldng of private property, is, perhaps, ultimately a judicial one, and, if so, the courts can not be absolutely concluded by the action or opinion of the legislative department. But if the legis- lature has declared the use or purpose to be a public one, its judgment will be respected by the courts, unless the use be palpably private, or the necessity for the taking plainly without reasonable foundation. But if the use be public, or if it be so doubtful that the courts can not pronounce it not to be such as to justify the compulsory taking of private property, the decision of the legislature, embodied in the 12925°— 16 32 496 UNITED STATES MILITARY EESEHVATIONS, ETC. enactment giving the power, that a necessity exists to take the prop- erty, is final and conclusive. (Dillon's Municipal Corporations, 4th Ed., Vol. 2, Sec. 600.) National Park, Gettysburg Battle-field. — An appropriation by Con- gress for continuing the work of surveying, locating, and preserving the lines of battle at Gettysburg, Pa., and for purchasing, opening, constructing and improving avenues along the portions occupied by the various commands of the armies of the Potomac and Northern Virginia on the field, and for fencing the same ; and for the purchase, at private sale or by condemnation, of such parcels of land as the Secretary of War may deem necessary for the sites of tablets, and for the construction of the said avenues; for determining the leading tactical positions and properly marking the same with tablets of bat- teries, regiments, brigades, divisions, corps, and other organizations, with reference to the study and correct understanding of the battle, each tablet bearing a brief historical legend, compiled without praise and without censure, is an appropriation for a public use, for which the United States may, in the exercise of its right of eminent domain, condemn and take the necessary lands of individuals and corpora- tions, situated within that State, including lands occupied by a rail- road company. (United States v. Gettysburg Electric Railway Company, 160 U. S., 668.) An implied power, necessary for the purpose of carrying powers expressly given into effect. — Congress has power to declare war and to create and equip armies and navies. It has the great power of taxation to be exercised for the common defense and general welfare. Having such powers, it has such other and implied ones as are neces- sary and appropriate for the purpose of carrying the powers ex- pressly given into effect. Any act of Congress which plainly and directly tends to enhance the respect and love of the citizen for the institutions of his country and to quicken and strengthen his motives to defend them, and which is germane to and intimately connected with and appropriate to the exercise of some one or all of the powers granted by Congress must be valid. This proposed use (National Park, Gettysburg Battlefield) comes within such description. The provision comes within the rule laid down by Chief Justice Marshall in McCuUoch v. Maryland (4 Wheat., 316, 421), in these words: " Let the end be legitimate, let it be within the scope of the Constitu- tion, and all means which are appropriate, which are plainly adapted to that end, which arenot prohibited, but consist with the letter and spirit of the Constitution, are constitutional." Limited appropriation does not render invalid the law provided for taking land, quantity necessary a legislative question. — The mere fact that Congress limits the amount to be appropriated for such purpose (National Park), does not render invalid the law providing for the taking of the land. The quantity of land which should be taken for such a purpose is a legislative, and not a iudicial question (160U. S.,p. 669.) ^ Acquisition of land for national cemeteries. — To authorize the acquisition by the exercise of the right of eminent domain, of private land for a national cemetery under Sections 4870, 4871, Revised Stat- utes, there must be (1) an existing appropriation, (in conformity with the rule of Sec. 3736, Rev. Stats.) authorizing the acquisition, APPENDIX. 497 and (2) the private owner must be unwilling to give title, or the Sec- retary of War be unable to agree with him as to price. (Dig. Opin. J. A. G.,_p. 928, a (1). _ Appraisement of land for national cemetery^ when conclusive upon Secretary of War. — The appraisement of land for a national ceme- terey, as duly made by a United States Court under Sections 4871 and 4872, Revised Statutes, is conclusive upon the Secretary of War, who must thereupon pay the appraised value as indicated in the latter section. If indeed there has been fraud in the valuation by which the court has been deceived in its decree, or its original appraisement is deemed excessive, it may properly be moved for a new appraise- ment on the part of the United States. (Ibid., p. 9:28, a (2) , citing 14 Opins. Atty. Gen., 27.) Express legislation of Congress necessary to the exercise of the right. — Authority to acquire land in a State, by the exercise of the right of eminent domain, whether by proceedings for condemnation in the United States Circuit Court or in the courts of the State, can be vested in an executive official of the United States, only by express legislation of Congress. (Ibid., p. 912, 4.) No general act of Congress making State courts an agency for con- demning lands. — Held., that there was no general act of Congress making State courts an agency of the United States for the purpose of condemning lands, and that proceedings for this purpose should be had in a United States Court under an Act of Congress, or in a State court when, such court has been by such Act made an agency for the purpose. (Ibid., p. 913, 4b.) The United States may acquire title hy judicial proceedings. — It is now well settled that whenever, in the execution of the powers granted to the United States by the Constitution, lands in any State are needed by the United States, for a fort, magazine, dockyard, light-house, custom-house, post-office, or any other public purpose, and can not be acquired by agreement with the owners, the Congress of the United States, exercising the right of eminent domain, and making just compensation to the owners, may authorize such lands to be taken, either by proceedings in the courts of the State with its con- sent, or by proceedings in the courts of the United States, with or without any consent or concurrent act of the State, as Congress may direct-or permit. (Chappell v. United States, 160 U. S.. 499. 509, and 510; citing Harris r. Elliott, 10 Pet., 25; Kohl v. United States. 91 U. S., 367; United States v. Jones, 109 U.

Jurisdiction. — The Congress shall have power * * * "To ex- ercise exclusive legislation in all cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten miles square) as may, by cession of particular States, and the acceptance of Congress, become the seat of the Gov- ernment of the United States, and to exercise like authority over all places purchased by the consent of the legislature of the State in 498 UNITED STATES MILITAEY EESEEVATIONS, ETC. which the same shall be, for the erection of Forts, Magazines, Arse- nals, dock-yards and other needful buildings." (Clause 17, Sec. 8, of Art. 1 of Const. U- S.) _ Same. — The exclusive jurisdiction in the District of Columbia and in forts, arsenals, etc., is distinct from the concurrent jurisdiction of the national government with that of the State which it has in the exercise of its powers of sovereignty in every part of the United States. (Ex parte Siebold, 100 U. S.', 371.) SaTTve. — " Exclusive legislation " signifies exclusive jurisdiction, and this follows even though the legislation of the United States in its act assenting to the purchase has not expressly ceded such jurisdic- tion. It vests in the United States by virtue of the Constitution. (Sergeant's Constitutional Law, 350, cited in Vol. 6, p. 577, Atty. Gen. Opin.) President to procure cession of jurisdiction, etc. — The President of the United States is authorized to procure the assent of the legisla- tiire of any State, within which any purchase of land has been made for the erection of forts, magazines, arsenals, dock-yards and other needful buildings without such consent having been obtained. (Sec. 1838, U. S. Eev. Stats.) Where United States can exercise a general jurisdiction. — Special provision is made in the constitution for the cession of jurisdiction from the States over places where the federal government shall estab- lish forts, or other military works. And it is only in these places, or in the territories of the United States, where it can. exercise a general jurisdiction. (New Orleans v. The United States, 10 Peters, p. 737.) State can not, hy use of power to tax, or police povjcr, interfere with power conferred upon Congress hy the Constitution. — Neither the unlimited powers of a State to tax, nor any of its large police powers, can be exercised to such an extent as to work a practical as- sumption of the powers properly conferred upon Congress by the Constitution. (Eailroad Company v. Husen, 95 U. S., 465.) Cession permitted hy the Constitution of the United States. — The Constitution permits a State to cede to the United States jurisdiction over a portion of its territory. (Benson v. The United States, 146 U. S., 325.) When conferred_ hy the Constitution. — When the United States acquire lands within the limits of a State by purchase, with the con- sent of the Legislature of the State, for the erection of forts, maga- zines, arsenals, dock-yards, and other needful buildings, the Consti- tution confers upon them exclusive jurisdiction of the tract so ac- quired. (Fort Leavenworth E. E. Co. v. Lowe, 114 U. S., 525.) Jurisdiction over cemeteries. — From the time any State legislature shall have given, or shall hereafter give, the consent of such State to the purchase by the United States of any national cemetery, the juris- diction and power of legislation of the United States over such ceme- tery shall in all courts and places be held to be the same as is granted by "^ Section eight. Article one, of the Constitution of the United States ; and all provisions relating to national cemeteries shall be ap- plicable to the same. (Sec. 4882, U. S. Eev. Stats.) Act of Congress powerless to confer — Cession must be hy State legislature. — Held, that, notwithstanding the provision in Section 4872, Eevised Statutes, that the jurisdiction of the United States over land taken for a national cemetery, by the right of eminent APPENDIX. 499 domain, "shall be exclusive," such a jurisdiction, where the land is within a State, can not legally be vested in the United States, except by the cession of the State legislature. In the absence of such ces- sion on the part of the State sovereignty, an Act of Congress must be powerless to confer such an authority. (Dig- Opin. J. A. G., 1912, p. 933 A. See 13 Opins. A.ttys. Genl., 131.) National cemeteries. — The United States have over lands within a State held for national cemeteries or other public purposes, which were acquired by the former without the consent of the State, or over which the latter has not ceded its jurisdiction, only such jurisdiction as they have over other parts of the State wherein they possess no property interests. The mere ownership of the land does not put the United States in a different position, as regards the matter of jurisdiction over it, than they occupied previous to its acquisition; nor is the situation of the State, with reference to the same matter, in any degree altered thereby. Strictly speaking, therefore, where the United' States own land situated within the limits of a State, but over which they have not acquired jurisdiction from the State, they can not be said to have any local jurisdiction over such land. (Vol. 14, p. 557, Opins. Attys. Gcnl.)_ Cession of Federal jurisdiction hy States. — In construing the joint resolution of Congress passed September 11, 1841 (5 Stat., 408), it is said : Thus it appears that Congress understood " consent to the pur- chase" and "cession of jurisdiction" as concurrent, if not identical, facts; and rightfully; for the language of the Constitution is that Congrees shall have power "to exercise exclusive legislation in all cases whatsoever, over such district, not exceeding 10 miles square, as may, by cession of particular States, and the acceptance of Congress, become the seat of the government of the United States, and to exer- cise like authority over all places purchased by the consent of the leg- islature of the State in which the same shall be, for the erection of forts, magazines, arsenals, dock-yards, and other needful public buildings." It is therefore thoroughly settled by numerous adjudica- tions that all such Federal jurisdiction, as the Constitution contem- plates, is acquired by the United States, in the mere consent of the State to the purchase; and that upon such consent, the jurisdiction of the State ceases, and that of Congress comes in by virtue of the Con- stitution. Phrases in legislative acts of the State retaining concur- rent jurisdiction for certain purposes do not impair but confer on the United States the whole jurisdiction of the Constitution, that is, rights of Federal legislation coextensive with the subject matter. (Vol. 7, p. 628, Opins. Attys. Genl.) Cession of jurisdiction in Florida. — The general act of the Florida Legislature, passed June 6, 1855, is a sufficient cession of jurisdiction over land purchased in that State by the Federal Government for public works. (Vol. 9, p. 94, Opins. Attys. Genl.) How far State laws in force at Old Point Comfort. — The general laws of Virginia, other than criminal, which do not conflict with those of the United States relating to forts, and which do not interfere with the military control, discipline and use of Fortress Monroe, as a Military Post, are in full force at Old Point Comfort. (Crook, Horner & Co. v. Old Point Comfort Hotel Company, 54 Fed. Eep., C04.) 500 UNITED STATES MILITAEY EESEBVATIONS, ETC. When Clause 17, Section 8, Article 1, Constitution of the United States^ applies. — Clause 17, Section 8, Article 1, Constitution of the United States, giving the United States exclusive jurisdiction over all places purchased by consent of the legislature of the State in which the same shall be for the erection of forts, arsenals, etc., applies only to lands acquired by actual purchase accompanied by a cession of jurisdiction by the State; and where land is acquired directly from the State as owner by an act of cession (as in the case of Fortress Monroe) the constitutional provision does not apply, and the United States holds the land only as provided in the act of cessipn. (Ibid.) Conditional cession (" Point Peter " Case) . — The act of the legisla- ture of Georgia approved December 22, 1808, grants jurisdiction to the United States over all lands then acquired, or which may there- after be acquired by them, for the purpose of erecting forts or f orti- cations in that State; but this is coupled with a proviso that "the said United States do or shall cause forts or fortifications to be erected thereon." The proviso may be construed to operate as a con- dition precedent, which renders it at least doubtful whether the cession of jurisdiction as to any land was intended to take effect until the erection of a fort or fortification thereon. (Vol. 18, p. 384, Opins. Attys. Genl.) Can only he acquired hy the United States in mode prescribed iy the Constitution. — The right of exclusive legislation within the ter- ritorial limits of any state, can be acquired by the United States only in the mode pointed out in the constitution, by purchase, by consent of the legislature of the state in which the same shall be, for the erec- tion of forts, magazines, arsenals, dock-yards, and other needful buildings. The essence of that provision is, that the state shall freely cede the particular place to the United States for one of the specific and enumerated objects. (The People against Godfrey, 17 Johnson's Eep., 225, 232.) Fort Niagara Case {no cession) . — The land on which Fort Niagara is erected, never having been actually ceded by this State to the United States, it still belongs to the State; and its courts have juris- diction of all crimes or offenses against the laws of the State, com- mitted within that fort, or its precincts; though it has been garri- soned by the troops of the United States, and held by them since its surrender by Great Britain, pursuant to the treaties of 1783, and 1791 ; for the United States acquired no territory within this State by virtue of those treaties. (Ibid.) Note. — The foregoing decision was rendered in October, 1819. Since then the State legislature, by an act passed April 21, 1840, authorized the conveyance of title and cession of jurisdiction, and in accordance with said act the gov- ernor executed a conveyance dated July 8, 1841. (See Port Niagara.) Rented lands for camp not ivifhin the terms of the Constitution. — Lands rented to the United States to be used temporarily as a camp, is not a place, within the terms of the Constitution of the United States, over which the United States have " sole and exclusive " juris- diction. (United States v. Tierney, 1 Bond, 571, Circuit Court Southern District of Ohio.) Legislative^ consent to the purchase by the United States establishes the jurisdiction {Fort Trumbull, Conn., case). — It is not questioned that the land is owned by the United States, or that the purchase was with the consent of the legislature of the State. There is wanting APPENDIX* 501 a formal deed of cession which the legislature intended should be executed on the part of the State. Such a formality is not necessary to give jurisdiction. The purchase by the United States, and the consent of the legislature to the purchase, gave to Congress the exclusive power of legislation over the purchased land. (Const., U. S., Art. 1, Sec. 8.) A legislative consent to the purchase could be given either before or after the purchase, and such consent, whenever given, together with the fact of purchase, establishes the jurisdiction of the United States. (Vol. 13, p. 411, Opins. Attys. Genl., citing 7 ibid., 628.) Of State over navigable waters within its limits. — A State may exercise jurisdiction over navigable waters within its limits and subject persons and property thereon to the civil and criminal juris- diction of its courts, in the absence of any prohibition in the National Constitution or laws. (People v. Welch, 141 N. Y., 266.) Constitutional laio — Ju7'isdiction of State courts — When excluded by the action of Congress. — Whenever it is within the power of Con- gress to legislate, it is competent for it to exclude the jurisdiction of the State courts in respect to all subjects o\er which legislative action is authorized. To exclude the jurisdiction of State Courts over mat- ters within their ordinary jurisdiction, the intention of Congress to exercise this power should be distinctly manifested, and the legis- lation relied upon should be clear and unambiguous. There must be express words of exclusion or a manifest repugnancy to the exercise of State authority over the subject. (Ibid.) (J onstitutional conditions. — The constitutional conditions are two — • purchase by the United States and consent of the legislature of the State. By that consent the State voluntarily and knowingly parts with its jurisdiction. It is not lost on the mere ownership by the United States. (Vol. 6, p. 577, Opins. Attys. Genl., citing The People ?'. Godfrey, 17 Johnson's Eep. 255, and Commonwealth v. Young, Bright's Rep., 302.) Object and legal effect of Staters reservationto serve process. — It is well settled that the sole object and only legal effect of such reserva- tions by the State (such as retaining concurrent jurisdiction for serv- ice of process, etc., not incompatible with the grant) is to prevent these places from becoming a sanctuary for fugitives from justice for acts done within the acknowledged jurisdiction of the State. (Ibid.; citing United States v. Cornell, 2 Mason, p. 60; United States v. Davis, 5 Mason, p. 356; Commonwealth v. Clary, 8 Mass., p. 72, and Mitchell V. Tibbetts, 17 Pickering, p. 298.) Is conferred by the Constitution upon the Federal Government over lands within a State acquired by /^MrcAase.— Exclusive jurisdic- tion is conferred upon the Federal Government by the Constitution of the United States over land within a State acquired by its pur- chase with the consent of the State's legislature. The reservation by the State that civil and criminal process of its courts may be served within the limits so acquired, is not incompatible with the exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal Government but is made to pre- vent such places from becoming sanctuaries for debtors and crimi- nals. (Foley, etc., v. Shriver, etc., 81 Va., p. 568; citing the fol- lowing: Fort Leavenworth Railroad Company v. Lowe, 114 U. S., 525 ; United States v. Cornell, 2 Mason, 60 ; Commonwealth v. Clary, 502 UNITED STATES MILITAKY EESEEVATIONS, ETC. 8 Mass., 72; Mitchell v. Tibbetts, 17 Pickering, 298, and Sinks v. Reese, 19 Ohio State Rep., 306.) ^Same.— "Thffi National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers," situated within the limits of Elizabeth City County, in this State (Virginia), upon land purchased by the United States with the con- sent of the State legislature, is a corporation created under the laws of Congress, and is under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal Government. Its officers are disbursing officers of the United States, and the funds in their hands as such, can not be attached or gar- nisheed under process from a State court. (Ibid.) When grant of 'power to Congress excludes right of State. — The grant of power to Congress excludes the right of the State over the same subject only where the grant is in express terms an exclusive authority to the Union, or where the grant to Congress is coupled with a prohibition to the States to exercise the same power, or where the grant to the one would be repugnant to the exercise of a similar authority by the other. (Weaver v. Fegely, 29 Pa. State Rep., 27.) Mere purchase of land hy United States does not oust jurisdic- tion of State. — The purchase of lands by the United States for pub- lic purposes, within the territorial limits of a State, does not of itself oust the jurisdiction or sovereignty of such State over such lands so purchased. (United States v. Cornell, 2 Mason, 60, Circuit Court, District of Rhode Island, November Term, 1819.) Same. — Exclusive jurisdiction is the necessary attendant upon exclusive legislation. (Ibid.) Consent of State to purchase of lands iy the United States carries with it exclusive jurisdiction. — The Constitution of the United States declares that Congress shall have power to exercise " exclusive legis- lation " in all " cases whatsoever " over all places purchased by the consent of the legislature of the State in which the same shall be for the erection of forts, magazines, arsenals, dockyards, and other need- ful buildings. When, therefore, a purchase of land for any of these purposes is made by the national government, and the State legis- lature has given its consent to the purchase, the land so purchased by the very terms of the Constitution, ipso facto, falls within the exclu- sive legislation of Congress, and the State jurisdiction is completely ousted. (Ibid. Reaffirmed June Term, 1820.) Must he free from interference of State — Exemption from State control essential to the sovereign authority of the United States. — When the United States acquire lands within the limits of a State, with the consent of the legislature of the State, for the erection of forts, arsenals, dock-yards, and other needful buildings, the Consti- tution confers upon them exclusive jurisdiction of the tract so ac- quired; but when they acquire such lands in any other v/ay than by purchase with the consent of the legislature they will hold the lands subject to this qualification; that if upon them forts, arsenals or other public buildings are erected for the use of the General Gov- ernment, such buildings with their appurtenances, as instrumentali- ties for the execution of its powers will be free from any such in- terference and jurisdiction of the State as would destroy or impair their effective use for the purposes designed. Such is the law with reference to all instrumentalities created by the General Government. Their exemption from State control is essential to the independence and sovereign authority of the United States within the sphere of APPENDIX. 503 their delegated powers. But when not used as such instrumentalities, the legislative power of the State will be as full and complete as over any other places within her limits. (Fort Leavenworth E. E. Co. v. Lowe, 114 U. S._, 525, 539.) When exclusive jurisdiction suspended. — A lease by the United States to a city for market purposes, of vacant land which was a part of land ceded by the State to the United States for the purpose of a navy-yard and naval hospital with a provision that the United States may retain such use and jurisdiction no longer than the premises are used for such purposes, operates, at least while the lease is in force, to suspend the exclusive authority and jurisdiction of the United States over the leased land, and thereby makes it subject to the jurisdiction of State courts in an action of ouster therefrom. (Palmer v. Barrett, 162 U. S._, 399.) Of United States over reservations in Territories paramount — To retain exclusive jurisdiction it must he reserved iy Congress when admitting such Territory as a State. — Over lands reserved for mili- tary or other governmental purposes in the Territories the jurisdic- tion of the United States is necessarily paramount. "When a Terri- tory is admitted as a State it is within the power of Congress to stipulate for the power of exclusive jurisdiction over such reser- vations, or to exempt them from the jurisdiction of the State. Fail- ing to do this, however, the State can exercise such authority and jurisdiction over them as over similar property held by private indi- viduals; and the United States can acquire exclusive jurisdiction only when the same has been formally ceded by the legislature of the State in which the lands are situated. (Fort Leavenworth E. E. Co. V. Lowe, 114 U. S., 525.) When the United States and State have concurrent jurisdiction. — The same offence may be made punishable both under the laws of the State and of the tlnited States and over such offences the State and federal courts have concurrent jurisdiction. In cases of concur- rent jurisdiction the court that first gets control of the subject-matter will continue to exercise jurisdiction until judgment, without molesta- tion or interference from the other ; this is the proper course to pur- sue in criminal as well as civil cases. (United States v. Wells, Dis- trict Court, District of Minnesota, January, 1872.) How lost and restored. — Jurisdiction over the lands lying within the limits of the military reservation of Fort Leavenworth passed from the United States to the State of Kansas under the operation of the act of June 22, 1861, Chapter 20, admitting that State into the Union; and to restore such jurisdiction to the United States, a ces- sion thereof by the State is necessary. (Vol. 14, p. 33, Opins. Attys. Genl.) Use of military reservation can not he inquired into upon a question of. — The land claimed by the Secretary of the Interior (part of the Fort Leavenworth Military Eeservation) as a portion of the territory allotted to the Delaware tribe of Indians never was a portion of said territory, but was legally reserved by the President for military pur- ?oses. fUnited States v. Stone, 2 Wall., p. 525.) In Benson v. The Tnited States, the court, after citing above case, say: "The char- acter and purposes of its occupation having been officially and legally established by that branch of the government, which has control over such matters, it is not open to the courts, on a question of jurisdiction, 504 UNITED STATES MILITAEY EESEEVATIONS, ETC. to inquire what may be the actual uses to which any portion of the reserve is temporarily put." (Benson v. The United States, 146 U. S. Eep., p. 331.) How far a State may prescribe conditions to the cession of. — A State may cede to the United States exclusive jurisdiction over land within its limits in a manner not provided for in the Constitution of the United States, and may prescribe conditions to the cession, if they are not inconsistent with the effective use of the property for the pur- poses intended. (Fort Leavenworth R. R. Co. v. Lowe, 114 IT. S. Eep., 625.) The subject of "Jurisdiction " has been further treated in an opin- ion of the Judge Advocate General of the Army, rendered December 30, 1895, as follows: Jurisdiction over territory in a State may be acquired by the United States, under the seventeentli clause of section 8 of article 1 of the Constitution, by the purchase of such territory, with the consent of the State, " for the erection of forts, magazines, arsenals, dockyards and other needful buildings." The Constitution gives Congress the power of exercising exclusive legislation over such place, and this is held to mean exclusive jurisdiction. The State's consent to the purchase for any one of these constitutional purposes invests the United States with exclusive jurisdiction, and the State can not, even by the express language of its legislation, reserve to itself any part of this jurisdiction. (The reservation of the right of serving process for causes of action arising outside such territory is not held to be an actual reservation of a part of the exclusive jurisdiction intended to be vested in the United States. ) But it would seem that this is only true when the purchase is for one of the constitutional purposes. By correct construction, " other needful buildings " would mean buildin ; of the same character as those specified — buildings intended for military or de- fensive purposes. A more comprehensive meaning has, indeed, been sometimes given to the expression, but no justification for such construction is found. In Pinckney's draft of a constitution there was this clause: " To provide such dockyards and arsenals and erect such fortifications as may be necessary for the United States, and to exercise exclusive jurisdiction therein." (This draft was submitted May 29, 1787.) There was no corresponding provision in the Constitution reported by the committee of detail, August 6, but the committee of eleven, by report of Septem- ber 5, recommended the adoption of the clause as it now reads, except that it did not have the words, " by the consent of the legislature of the State." In the debate on the proposition Mr. Gerry contended that this power might be made use of to enslave any particular State by buying up Its territory, and that the strongholds proposed would be a means of awing the State into an undue obedience to the general government. Mr. King thought himself the provision unnecessary, the power being already involved ; but would move to insert, after the word " purchased," the words " by the consent of the legislature of the State." This would certainly make the power safe. (5 Elliot's Debates, 511.) And in the Federalist (No. 43) it is said: "Nor would It be proper for the places on which the security of the entire Union may depend to be in any degree dependent on a particular member of it." So Story says (section 1224) : " The other part of the power, giving exclusive legislation over places ceded for the erection of forts, magazines, etc., seem still more necessary for the public convenience and safety. The public money expended on such places, and the public property deposited in them, and the nature of the military duties which may be required there, all demand that they should be exempted from State authority. In truth, it would be wholly improper that places on which the security of the entire Union may depend should be subject to the control of any member of it. The power, indeed, is wholly unexceptionable, since it can only be exercised at the will of the State; and therefore it is placed beyond all reasonable scruple. Yet it did not escape without the scrutinizing jealousy of the opponents of the Constitution, and was denounced as dangerous to State sovereignty." And, as observed by Judge Seaman (In re Kelly, 71 Fed. Rep. 545 549) • " The rule thus stated, whereby legislative consent operates 'as a comDlete cession, Is applicable only to objects which are specified in the above provision APPENDIX. 505 and can not be held to so operate, ipso facto, for objects not expressly Included therein. Whether it rests in the discretion of Congress to extend the provision to objects not specifically enumerated, although for national purposes, upon declaration as ' needful buildings,' and thereby secure exclusive jurisdiction, is an inquiry not presented by this legislation (see 114 U. S., 541) ; and I think it can not be assumed by way of argument that such power is beyond question. In New Orleans v. United States (10 Pet., 662, 737) the opinion of the Supreme Court is expressed by Mr. Justice McLean, without dissent, as follows : " ' Special provision is made in the Constitution for the cession of jurisdiction from the States over places where the Federal government shall establish forts or other military works. And It is only in these places, or in the territories of the United States, where it can exercise a general jurisdiction.' " And in United States v. Bevans (3 Wheat., 336, 390) the claim was urged that the words " other place " would Include a ship of war of the United States lying at anchor in Boston harbor, and bring it within the statute defining murder committed " within any fort, arsenal, dockyard, magazine, or in any other place or district of country under the sole jurisdiction of the United States ; " but It was stated by the court, through Chief Justice Marshall, that " the construction seems irresistible that by the words ' other place ' was Intended another place of a similar character with those previously enumerated ; "' that the context shows the mind of the legislature to have been fixed on territorial objects of a similar character." (See, also. The Federalist, No. 43, by Madison.) Section 355 of the Revised Statutes prescribes that no public money shall be expended upon any site or land purchased by the United States for the purposes of erecting thereon any armory, arsenal, fort, fortification, navy-yard, custom- house, light-house, or other building, of any kind whatever, until the * * * consent of the legislature of the State in which the land or site may be, to such purchase, has been given. This section is in part based on the clause of the Constitution referred to, and In part not. The consent of the State to a pur- chase, given in order to satisfy the requirement of this section, would invest the United States with exclusive jurisdiction, if the purchase be for one of the con- stitutional purposes ; but the .section provides for other purposes also, and as to these it would seem that a simple consent to the purchase (assuming that such consent, being for a purpose not falling under the clause of the Constitution, amounts to a cession of jurisdiction) would only carry with it so much juris- diction as would be necessary for the purpose of the purchase. Probably this would be held to be concurrent jurisdiction. Taking Into consideration the fact that States can not, under any circumstances, interfere with the instrumen- talities of the government of the United States, it may, indeed, be questioned whether, even under this view, unnecessary precautions have not been taken in regard to the acquisition of jurisdiction ; and certainly it can not be presumed that a State intends to part with more of Its sovereignty than is necessary. A consent to the purchase, under section 3.">5, Revised Statutes, if the purchase be for other than one of the purposes described In the clause of the Constitution, may, therefore, be accompanied with any limitations not Interfering with an instrumentality of the government of the United States. The most common way of acquiring jurisdiction, however, is by the State's expressly ceding it to the United State.s. In such case the State may make simi- lar limitations, and this even if the place be used by the United States for one of the purposes mentioned in the clause of the Constitution. To bring the case under the clause there must be a purchase with consent. (Dig. Opin. J. A. G., 1912, p. 931, V. ; citing Fort Leavenworth R. R. Co. v. Lowe, 114 U. S., 539 ; Chi- cago' and Pacific Ry. Co. v. McGlinn, 114 U. S., 542 ; Benson v. U. S., 146 U. S., 331 ; in re Kelly, 71 Fed. Rep., 545 ; in re Ladd, 74 Fed. Rep., 31.) Award — Submission not binding unless authorized by act of Con- gress. — No officer of the United States has authority to enter into a submission in their behalf, which shall be binding on them, unless the power is given by a special act of Congress. (United States v. Ames, 24 Fed. Cases, p. 784.) Same — Can not be pleaded in bar of an action of trespass wiless authm'ized by Congress. — The United States had machinery in opera- tion, carried by water, on land which had been sold to them, and over which jurisdiction had been ceded to them by the State of Massachu- setts. A owned mills above and below them on the same stream, and the dam of each party flowed back so as to obstruct the other. A sub- 506 UNITED STATES MILITARY BESERVATIONS, ETC. mission of the matters in dispute was entered into by A on the one part and by the District Attorney, authorized by the Solicitor of the Treasury, or War Department, on the other part, but without any authority from Congress ; and an award was made thereon, prescrib- ing the height of the dam. The United States afterwards brought an action of trespass against A for flowing their land. He pleaded a special bar of the award, alleging that he had complied with its terms. On general demurrer it was held that the special plea could not be sustained. (Ibid.) M^hen State legislature can not interfere with exercise of exclusive jurisdiction by Congress. — Whenever the terms in which a power is granted by the Constitution or the nature of the power itself, requires that it should be exercised exclusively by Congress, State legislature can not interfere. (Sturgis v. Crowninshield, 4 Wheat., 122.) Effect of reservation of concurrent jurisdiction hy State to serve process. — Where a State grants land to the general government, reserving to it a concurrent jurisdiction in executing process therein, for offences committed out of it, the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction of offences committed within such territory. (United States V. Travers, 28 Fed. Cases, p. 204. See United States v. Penn., 48 Fed. Kep., 669.) The lex rei sitae governs when no cession hy State., except when in conflict with the Constitution, treaties, or statutes of the United States. — ^When the United States own land, situated within the limits of particular States, and over which they have no cession of jurisdic- tion, for objects either special or general, the rights and remedies in relation to it are usually such as apply to other landowners within the State, and the lex rei sita: will govern ; except where the Consti- tution, treaties or Statutes of the United States, otherwise require and provide. (United States v. Ames, 24 Fed. Cases, p. 784.) The Territory belonging to the United States over which jurisdic- tion has been ceded, subject to laws of Congress and not to those of State — Exception. — The territory belonging to the United States, not situated witliin the limits of any State, is subject to the laws of Con- gress. That within such limits, but over which jurisdiction has been ceded to the United States, and which is used for exclusive and con- stitutional objects, is likewise subject to said laws, and not to those of the State, except when they were enacted before the cession of juris- diction and do not conflict in any degree with what has been required or provided by the general government. (Ibid.) When United States may resort to common law or laws of States for injuries to public property. — The United States, in cases when Congress has not provided any or adequate remedies for injuries to public property, may resort to those of common law origin, or those provided by the law of the several States. (Ibid.) Same. — But in places over which jurisdiction has been ceded to the United States the State laws can not be permitted to thwart or embarrass the object of the cession. (Ibid.) Case in point. — It seems the laws of Massachusetts respecting flow- age do not apply to the case of machinery used by the United States for public purposes, in a place over which jurisdiction has been ceded to the United States, so as to authorize a mill owner to flow back in a way to impair in any degree the use of the machinery. (Ibid.) APPENDIX. 507 State courts can not take cognizance of offences comrrdtted upon lands belonging to the United States purchased with consent of State. — The Courts of the Commonwealth can not take cognizance of offences committed upon lands in the town of Springfield, which have been purchased by the United States for the purpose of erecting arsenals, etc., to which the consent of the Commonwealth was granted by the Statute of 1798, Chapter 13. (Commonwealth v. Clary, 8 Mass., 72.) The Chief Justice, in delivering the opinion of the court, said: We are of opinion that the territory, on which the offence charged Is agreed to have been committed, is the territory of the United States, over which the Congress have the exclusive power of legislation. The assent of the common- wealth to the purchase of this territory by the United States, had this condi- tion annexed to it — that civil and criminal process might be served therein by the officers of the Commonwealth. This condition was made with a view to prevent the territory from becoming a sanctuary for debtors and criminals; and from the subsequent assent of the United States to the said condition, evidenced by their making the purchase, it results that the officers of the Com- monwealth, in executing such process, act under the authority of the United States. No ofCences committed within that territory, are committed against the laws of this Commonwealth; nor can such offences be punishable by the courts of the Commonwealth unless the Congress of the United States should give to the said courts jurisdiction thereof. * * * An objection occurred to the minds of some members of the court that If the laws of the Commonwealth have no force within this territory, the inhabitants thereof can not exercise any civil or political privileges, under the laws of Massachusetts, within the town of Springfield. We are agreed that such consequence necessarily fol- lows, and we think that no hardship is thereby imposed on those inhabitants ; because they are not interested in any elections made within the State, or held to pay any taxes imposed by its authority, nor bound by any of its laws. And it might be very inconvenient to the United States to have their laborers, artificers, officers, and other persons employed in theii- service, subjected to the services required by the Commonwealth of the inhabitants of the several towns. It will be noticed that in this decision we make a distinction between persons who actually dwell within the territory owned by the United States, and the laborers and artificers employed therein, ^\•ho have their dwelling elsewhere. When municipal laios of a State continue in force on a reservation over which jurisdiction has been acquired. — Where land within a State is acquired by the United States with the consent of the State, the jurisdiction of the United States over it is, under Constitution, Article I, section 8, clause 17, supreme, and a reservation by the State of the right to serve civil or criminal process within the land ceded is limited to actions arising outside of the ceded territory; but the laws of the State for the enforcement of municipal or private rights of individuals residing therein continue unless the United States provide legislation for the territory, and where jurisdiction is not given by a Federal law to Federal courts to assert and protect pi'i\ate rights, such rights mav be enforced in the State courts. (Divine v. Unaka Nat. Bank. HO S. W. Eeo.. 747.) Reservation to serve process by State operates as a condition of the grant.— It seems that a reservation on a cession of concurrent juris- diction to serve process, civil and criminal, in the ceded place, does not exclude the exclusive legislation or exclusive jurisdiction of the United States over the ceded places. It merely operates as a condi- tion of the grant. (United States v. Davis, 5 Mason, 356, Circuit Court, Eastern District, Mass.) Liquor or beer introduced at a military post situated upon an Indian Reservation over which the United States have exclusive jurisdiction not subject to operation of State laws. — Where cer- 608 UNITED STATES MILITAEY RESERVATIONS, ETC. tain beer, alleged to be intoxicating, was attempted to be introduced at the post of Fort Yates, situated upon an Indian Reservation in North Dakota, exclusive jurisdiction over which is vested in the United States, held, that the admission or sale of such liquor would be an offense against the United States, not against the state, since the Act of August 8, 1890, providing that intoxicating liquor shipped into a state shall be subject to the operation of the state laws as soon as it enters the territory of the state, can not apply to a district over which the United States has exclusive jurisdiction, and therefore that the state authorities would not be empowered to make a seizure of such beer. _ (Dig. Opin. J. A. G., 1912, p. 672, F.) Grant of right of way across military reservation does not oust exclusive jurisdiction. — Held, that the Act of Congress granting to the West Shore Eailroad Company a right of way across a part of the military reservation at West Point, N. Y., did not operate to oust, as to such way, the exclusive jurisdiction over the reservation pre- viously ceded by the State to the United States. It simply imposed upon the military authorities the duty of not interfering with the legitimate use of its right by the railroad company. (Ibid., p. 934, D la.) Consent to purchase may he given iy general act of the State. — A State may give consent by one general Act, prospective in terms and covering all future purchases by the United States. (Vol. 15, p. -180, Opins. Attys. Genl.) Jurisdiction of State courts over crimes committed in places ceded to the United States. — When a State cedes to the United States lands for forts, etc., reserving concurrent jurisdiction to serve State process, civil and criminal, in the ceded places, such reservation merely oper- ates as a condition of the grant, and does not defeat the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States over such place, and the State courts have no jurisdiction of crimes committed therein. (Lasher v. The State, 30 Texas Appeals, 387.) Judicial notice taken of cession of portion of territory of State. — The cession of a portion of the territory of a State to exclusive for- eign jurisdiction and control is one of the highest acts of sovereignty affecting the people of the State at large, and courts of the State wiU take judicial knowledge of the fact of cession, and that crimes com- mitted within the ceded territory are beyond the jurisdiction of the State courts. (Ibid.) Effect of cession iy State — New restrictions. — An act of the legis- lature of a State ceding to the United States the jurisdiction of the State over a tract of land used as a military reservation, upon condi- tion that such jurisdiction shall continue only so long as the United States shall own and occupy such reservation; that the State shall have the right, within the reservation, to serve civil process, and to execute criminal process against persons charged with crime com- mitted within the State ; and that roads may be opened and kept in repair within such reservation, cedes to the United States the entire political jurisdiction of the State over the place in question, includ- ing judicial and legislative jurisdiction, except as to service of process and opening of roads, and the same can not be affected or further limited, without the consent of the United States, by a sub- sequent act of the State legislature attempting to impose additional restrictions on the jurisdiction ceded. (InreLaddj74Fed. Rep. 31 ) APPENDIX. 509 Judicial oificers. — After such cession a Justice of the Peace, acting under authority of the State, has no jurisdiction over the ceded terri- tory in matters of alleged criminal violation of the laws of the State committed on such territory. (Ibid.) Civil and criminal laws. — While, after such cession, the municipal laws of the State governing property and property rights continue in force in the ceded territory, except so far as in conflict with the laws and regulations of the United States applying thereto, the criminal laws of the State cease to be of force within the ceded territory, and laws regulating the sale of intoxicating liquors, requiring a license therefor, and punishing unlicensed sales, cease to be operative, both as in conflict with the regulations of the United States governing military reservations and as penal in their character. (Ibid.) Violation of regulations — Delegation of legislative authority. — ■ Where Congress authorizes an executive officer to make regulations and fixes the penalty for their violation, the violation is not made a crime by the regulations, but by the statute which prescribes the pen- alty. Such grant of authority by Congress is not a delegation of legislative power. (United States v. Grimaud, 220 U. S., 506.) Cession of., when United States can not accept. — The United States can not accept a cession of jurisdiction from a State coupled with a condition that crimes committed within the limits of the jurisdiction ceded, shall continue to be punishable by the courts of the State for the reason that such a reservation, or condition, is distinctly incom- patible with the provisions of the penal acts of Congress, and would obstruct, if not defeat, the execution of those acts, and also, because such condition is inconsistent with any possible construction of that "exclusive" jurisdiction, which, according to the letter and intent of the Constitution, are in such cases, to be vested in the United States. (Vol. 8, p. 418, Opins. Attys. Genl.) Of State — When it ceases — Status of inhabitants of ceded places — Effect of no cession hy State. — The States can not take cognizance of any acts done in the ceded places after the cession ; and, on the other hand, the inhabitants of those places cease to be inhabitants of the State and can no longer exercise any civil or political rights under the laws of the State. But if there has been no cession by the State of the place, although it has been constantly occupied and used, imder purchase, or otherwise, by the United States for a fort, arsenal, or other constitutional purpose, the State jurisdiction still remains com- plete and perfect. (Story on the Constitution, Vol. 2, Sec. 1227.) When express terms ceding ''''Exclusive^'' jurisd/rtion must be used. — It appears indisputable that all State jurisdiction is not ex- cluded from every parcel of land purchased by the general govern- ment in a State with legislative consent, irrespective of its use; and, therefore, that if the purpose is not one of those distinctly named in the clause of the Constitution, the act of Congress which provides for the purchase and requires the legislative consent must, in some un- equivocal terms, declare that exclusive jurisdiction is intended and necessary for the proposed use, or at least the purpose stated must be one of which it is manifest that any exercise of coordinate or other jurisdiction would be incompatible therewith. (In re Kellv, Circuit Court, Eastern District of Wisconsin, Dec. 27, 1895. 71 Fed. Eep., 545.) Decides, also, that the clause of the Constitution upon which 510 UNITED STATES MILITARY EESEHVATIONS, ETC. the Ohio (Sinks v. Eeese, 19 Ohio State, 306) and Virginia (Foley V. Shriver, 81 Virginia, 568) decisions mainly rest their view of the State enactments, respectively, is not applicable to this Wisconsin case and can not be invoked to exclude the exercise of State jurisdic- tion, citing the following : United States v.. Bevans, 3 Wheaton, 336 ; New Orleans v. United States, 10 Peters, 662, 737; Fort Leaven- worth Eailroad Company v. Lowe, 114 U. S., 525; Eailroad Com- pany V. McGlinn, 114 U. S., 542; People v. Godfrey, 17 Johnson, 225; Crook, Horner & Co. v. Old Point Comfort Hotel Company, 54 Fed. Eep., 604. Of State courts over trespasses committed on land ceded to the United States. — When Congress has made no new regulations touch- ing the administration of justice in civil cases with respect to actions arising within territory which a State has ceded to the Federal gov- ernment for the purpose of a Navy-Yard, the laws of the State in force at the time of the cession, and the jurisdiction of its courts in regard to private rights and remedies, remain unchanged and im- affected by the act of cession. (Barrett v. Palmer, 135 N. Y., p. 336.) Status of -persons residing on ceded places. — Persons residing on places so ceded are, in many respects, exterritorialized, so as not to be subject to personal taxation by the State, not to acquire a pauper settlement therein, not to be entitled to its public schools, nor to the enjoyment of its elective franchise. Of course the property of the United States in such places is not subject to the jurisdiction of the State. Such ceded lands within a State are not to be made places of refuge from its civil or criminal jurisdiction, or of escape from civil obligations due to any of its inhabitants. (Vol. 7. p. 628, Opins. Attys. Genl.) Same. — It was held that the persons in the employment of the United States actually residing in the limits of the Armory at Har- per's Ferry do not possess the civil and political rights, nor are they subject to the tax and other obligations, of citizens of the State of Virginia. (Vol. 6, p. 577, Opins. Attys. Genl.) Residents on military reservations., where jurisdiction has been ceded, not entitled to privileges of public schools, but must pay for tuition if availed of. if charge is made by local authorities. — ^Eesi- dents on a military reservation over which exclusive jurisdiction has been ceded by the State to the United States are not entitled to the use of the public schools, nor can they legally be taxed for their sup- port. But if allowed to avail themselves of such schools, and they send their children to them, they can not avoid paying such charge as the local authorities may impose in regulating admissions. Thus held that officers stationed at Fort Trumbull, Conn., were not exempt from paying the fee exacted by the City of New London in cases where parents elect to send their children to a school in a district different from that in which they reside. (Dig. Opin. J. A. G., 1912 p. 937, F lb.) ' Same. — Status of persons residing on territory purchased by tTie United States with consent of the legislature of the State. Bv be- coming a resident inmate of the asylum, (Soldiers' Home), a person though up to that time he may have been a citizen and resident" of Ohio, ceases to be such ; he is relieved from any obligation to con- tribute to her revenues, and is subject to none of the burdens which she imposes upon her citizens. He becomes subject to the exclusive APPENDIX. 511 jurisdiction of another power as foreign to Ohio as is the State of Indiana or Kentucky or the District of Columbia. The Constitution of Ohio requires that electors shall be residents of the State; but under the provisions of the Constitution of the United States, and by the consent and act of cession of the legislature of this State, the grounds and buildings of this asylum have been detached and set oflf from the State of Ohio, and ceded to another government, and placed under its exclusive jurisdiction for an indefinite period. We are unanimously of the opinion that such is the law, and with it we have no quarrel; for there is something in itself unreasonable that men should be permitted to participate in the government of a community, and in the imposition of charges upon it, in whose interests they have no stake, and from whose burdens and obligations they are exempt. (John F. Sinks v. David W. Eeese, 19 Ohio St. Eep.', 316, citing Commonwealth v. Clary, 8 jNIass., 72, and other authorities.) Note. — It would seem that Congress recognized the force of the decision in Slnlfs V. Reese, supra, by the passnge of an Act approved January 21, 1871, wherein jurisdiction was ceded to the State of Ohio and relinquished bv the United States (16 Stat., 399). But seein re O'Conner (37 Wis., 379) and In re Kelly (Circuit Court Eastern Dist. Wisconsin Di^c. 17, 1895), where jurisdiction having been ceded by the State Legislature of Wisconsin in almost the same language, it was held, that the criminal laws of the United States which apply only to places within their exclusive jurisdiction are not operative, the lands not having been acquired for any of the purposes specified in the Constitutional provision. Status of persons residing on military reservations. — The House of Representatives of Massachusetts submitted the following questions to the Justices of the Supreme Judicial Court : 1. Are persons residing on lands purchased by, or ceded to the United States, for navy-yards, arsenals, dock-yards, forts, light- houses, hospitals, and armories, in this Commonwealth entitled to the benefits of the State common schools for their children in the towns where such lands are located? 2. Does such residence exempt such persons from being assessed for their polls or estate, in the towns in which such places are located? 3. Will such residence for the requisite length of time give such persons or their children a legal inhabitancy in such towns, or in the Commonwealth ? 4. Are persons so residing entitled to the elective franchise in such towns? The Court in discussing the questions say : The Constitution of the United States, Article 1, Section 8, provides that Congress shall have power to exercise exclusive legislation in all cases whatsover, over all places purchased by the consent of the legislature of the State in which the same shall be for the erection of forts, magazines, arsenals, dock-yards and other needful buildings. The jurisdiction in such cases is put upon the same grounds as that of the district ceded to the United States for the seat of government, and, unless the consent of the several States is expressly made or limited by the act of cession, the exclusive power of legislation implies an exclusive jurisdiction; because the laws of the several States no longer operate within those districts. They were of opinion that where the general consent of the Commonwealth is given to the purchase of territory by the United States, for forts, and dock-yards, and where there is no other con- 12925°— 16 33 512 UNITED STATES MILITARY EESEKVATIOjSTS, ETC. dition or reservation in the act granting such consent, but that of a concurrent jurisdiction of the State for the service of civil process, and criminal process against persons charged with crimes committed out of such territory — ^the Government of the United States have the sole and exclusive jurisdiction over such territory, for all purposes of legislation and jurisprudence, with the single exception expressed, and consequently, that no persons are amenable to the laws of the Commonwealth for crimes and offences committed within said terri- tory, and that persons residing within the same do not acquire the civil and political privileges nor do they become subject to the civil duties and obligations of inhabitants of the towns within which such terri- tory is situated. The Court, applying the opinion above stated, an- swered the questions categorically as follows : 1. "We are of opinion that persons residing on lands purchased by, or ceded to, the United States for navy-yards, forts and arsenals, when there is no other reservation of jurisdiction to the State, than that above mentioned, are not entitled to the benefits of the common schools for their children, in the towns in which such lands are situ- ated. 2. We are of opinion that such residence does exempt such persons from being assessed for their polls and estates to State, county and town taxes in the towns where such places are situated. 3. Understanding as we do, by the terms of this question, that the term " legal inhabitancy " is used synonymously with " legal settle- ment," for the purpose of receiving support under the laws of this Commonwealth for the relief of the poor, we are of opinion that such residence, for any length of time will not give such persons or their children a legal inhabitancy in such town. 4. We are also of opinion that persons residing in such territory do not thereby acquire any elective franchise as inhabitants of the towns in whichsuch territory is situated. (See 1 Metcalf's Eep., p. 580.) Defective cession o/.— Where a State's consent to the purchase of land by the United States provides that the State shall forever retain concurrent jurisdiction over any such place to the extent that all legal and military process issued under the authority of the State may be executed anywhere on such place or in any building thereon or any part thereof, and that any offence against the laws of the State, com- mitted on such place, may be tried and punished by any competent Court or Magistrate of the State, it does not satisfy the provisions of Section 355, Eevised Statutes.

Madden v. Arnold, in the appellate division of the Supreme Court of New'^l^^^^ APPENDIX. 513 matei-ially helps to explain the relation of a State to the United States as to its jurisdiction over causes of action, other than criminal, arising within the territory jurisdiction over which has been ceded by it to the United States. It is only within recent years that this subject has been placed in its true light, the leading case being Fort Leavenworth R. R. Co. v. Lowe (114 U. S., 539). This case was followed by Chicago and Pacific Ry. Co. v. JIcGlinn (114 U. S., 549), Benson v. U. S. (146 U. S., 331), In re Kelly (71 Fed. Rep., 545), In re Ladd (74 Fed. Rep., 31), Palmer v. Barrets (162 U. S., 399), and now by Madden V. Arnold (47 N. Y. Suppl., 757). By the Constitution, the United States are invested with the power of exclusive legislation (jurisdiction) over all places purchased by the consent of the State in which they are, for the erection of forts, magazines, arsenals, dock-yards, and other needful buildings. When a place is purchased with the consent of the State, for one of the specified purposes, this carries jurisdiction with it. Precisely what would be included under the head of " other needful buildings " is not clear, but it would seem that originally buildings of the same character as those mentioned were intended — that is, buildings for military or defensive purposes. (Story Const., Sec. 1224.) There could not be coupled with such a consent to purchase, a condition which would be inconsistent with the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States. But when jurisdiction over territory in a State is obtained, not by the pur- chase with consent, but by express cession of jurisdiction, this, being different from the constitutional method, may be accompanied with conditions, even though the territory be acquired for one of the purposes mentioned. (Fort Leavenworth R. R. Co. v. Lowe, 114 U. S., 589; Benson v. U. S., 14G U. S., 331.) Madden v. Arnold makes clear the right of the States to try actions arising from civil wrongs committed by private persons in such places In this case the plaintiff sought to recover damages against the defendant for injuries in- flicted on him by a vicious dog, on land purchased by the United States, and over which the legislature of New York had ceded jurisdiction, for the purpose of erecting and maintaining thereon an arsenal, magazine, dock-yards, and other necessary buildings ; reserving to the State concurrent jurisdiction with the United States so far as, that civil process in all cases, and such criminal process as might be issued under authority of the State of New York against any per- son charged with crimes committed without the ceded district, might be executed therein. It was urged by the defendant that the State court had no jurisdiction, in an action for damages for an injury sustained within the territory purchased t)y tlie United States, and jurisdiction over which had been ceded by the State under the provisions of article 1, section 8, clause 17, of the national constitution. The court (the Supreme Court of New York, appellate division) holds that Congress has the power to provide by statute for the enforcement of civil rights in such ceded territory, and for the recovery of damages for injuries sustained therein, in civil actions ; but that the question for it to decide was whetlier, in tlie absence of such legislation, the courts of New York are deprived of juris- diction for an injury to a citizen, such as the plaintiff sustained, committed within the State, in territory over which jurisdiction had thus been ceded to the United States. The place where the plaintiff was injured was acquired by the United States, by purchase, for the purpose of an arsenal, and ever since has been used as such and the State of New York ceded exclusive jurisdiction over the territory to the United States. Hence, under the provisions of the national constitution. Congress has power to exercise exclusive legislation therein in all cases whatsoever. (The court evidently regarded the purchase, together with the cession of jurisdiction, in this case, as amounting to a purchase with the consent of the State, under the terms of the Constitution. ) But, say the court, although the injury to recover damages for which the plaintiff brought the action was sus- tained on land over which the national government had exclusive jurisdiction, it had no more exclusive jurisdiction over such territory than the respective legislatures of the neighboring States of Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, or Ohio have over their respective territories, and had the injury occurred within the limits of either of said States an action could have been maintained in the Supreme Court of New York to recover damages therefor. If an action can be maintained in the courts of New York by a citizen thereof, for a personal injury suffered in another State or country, there is no good reason why such an action can not be maintained when the injury was committed in the State of New York, on land, jurisdiction over which had been ceded to the United States. Assuming that the place where the plaintiff was injured, being within the exclusive juris- diction of the United States, was in fact like a foreign territory, not within any 514 UNITED STATES MILITAKY EESEEVATIONS, ETC. jurisdiction of the State of New York, the plaintifE might maintain an action for a personal injury sustained in such place. This decision shows the necessi^ of distinguishing between criminal and civil actions in the matter of cession of jurisdiction, the one being territorial and the other nonterritorial as to the cause of action, so far as relates to jurisdiction. Ces- sions of jurisdiction from the State to the United States, in language like that used in the Fort Leavenworth cession, are misleading, the language referred to being as follows : " Saving, however, to the said State the right to serve civil or criminal process within said Reservation, in suits or prosecutions for or on account of rights acquired, obligations incurred, or crimes committed in said State, but outside of said cession and reservation." This places the civil action on the same footing with the criminal action, for which there appears to be no reason. It would seem, indeed, that we have been quite misled as to the necessity of cession of jurisdiction to the United States. The constitutional provision, Article I, Section 8, clause 17, was apparently adopted with the understanding that the United States could not acquire land in a State without the consent of the State. It would seem to have been the opinion of the framers of the constitu- tion, said Justice Field in the Fort Leavenworth Railroad case, that without the consent of the States, the new government would not be able to acquire lands within them ; and therefore it was provided that, when it might require such lands for the erection of forts and other buildings for the defense of the country, or the discharge of other duties devolving upon it, and the consent of the State in which they were situated was obtained for their acquisition, such consent should carry with it political dominion and legislative authority over them. Whatever we may think of the sufficiency of the reason for placing forts and other buildings for the defense of the country under the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States, when we consider that the instrumentalities of the govern- ment of the United States are free from control by any State authority, there would seem to be no good reason for extending the constitutional provision beyond the apparent meaning of its language. The Fort Leavenworth Railroad case is authority for holding that when jurisdiction is acquired by the United States by cession, and not by purchase with consent, the cession may be accom- panied with reservations of jurisdiction, even though the territory be used as a military post or fort. In that case there was a reservation of the right to tax railroad, bridge, and other corporations, their franchises and property. Section 355 of the Revised Statutes prescribes that no public money shall be expended upon any site or land purchased by the United States for the purpose of erecting thereon any armory, arsenal, fort, fortification, navy-yard, custom- house, light-house, or other building of any kind whatever, until the consent of the State in which the land or site may be to such purchase has been given. Under this section money can not be expended on structures for river and harbor improvement even, until jurisdiction over the site has been obtained by the United States; for it is held that what is here meant is that there must be a cession of jurisdiction. This certainly is carrying the matter to an extreme What good reason can be given for It? The instrumentalities of the govern- ment of the United States can not be interfered with. Why, then, take from the jurisdiction of the States those numerous localities within their limits? How long and for what purposes the municipal laws of the State continue in force after cession of jurisdiction to the United States. It is a general rule of public law, recognized and acted upon by the United States, that whenever political jurisdiction and leoislatn-e power over any territory are transferred from one nation or soverei'o-n to another, the municipal laws of the country, that is, laws which alt- intended for the protection of private rights, continue in force until abrogated or changed by the new government or sovereign By the cession public property passes from one government to the other but private property remains as before, and with it those municipal laws which are designed to secure its peaceful use and enjoyment As a matter of course, all laws, ordinances, and regulations in conflict with the political character, institutions, and constitution of the new aov ernment are at once displaced. Thus upon a cession of political juris APPENDIX. 515 diction and legislative power — and the latter is involved in the former — to the United States, the laws of the country in support of an established religion, or abridging the freedom of the press, or authorizing cruel and unusual punishments, and the like, would at once cease to be of obligatory force without any declaration to that effect; and the laws of the country on other subjects would neces- sarily be superseded by existing laws of the new government upon the same matters. But with respect to other laws affecting the pps- session, use and transfer of property, and designed to secure good order and peace in the community, and promote its health and pros- perity, which are strictly of a municipal character, the rule is gen- eral, that a change of government leaves them in force until, by direct action of the new government, they are altered or repealed. (Chicago and Pacific Railway Company v. McGlinn, 114 U. S. Rep., 542. See also The American Insurance Co. v. Canter, 1 Pet., 542.) Effect of qaulified cession of jurisdiction hy State. — Where a State statute, in consenting to the purchase by the United States of land within the State and ceding to the United States jurisdiction over the same, added that such jurisdiction should be exercised " concurrently with " the State, Held, that this qualification was subject to the objec- tion that it amounted to more than the mere reservation (not unfre- quent,) of the right to serve upon the land legal process for crimes committed outside of the same, and should therefore be regarded as inconsistent with a grant of exclusive jurisdiction to the United States over such land; (citing United States v. Cornell, 2 Mason, 60; United States V. Davis, 5 Id., 356; 6 Opins. Attys. Genl., 578; 7 Id., 634; 8 Id., 30, 102, 417; 20 Id., 242, 298, 611), further that it so far qualified the consent given to the purchase as to make it at least doubtful whether, in view of the provisions of Section 355, Revised Statutes, the Secretary of War would be authorized to expend an appropria- tion which had been made by Congress for the erection of public buildings on the land. (Dig. of 0pm. J. A. G., 1912, p. 935 (2).) Effect of reserving right to execute -process within arid upon lands. — But where a State statute, in ceding jurisdiction to the United States over certain lands purchased within the State by the authority of Congress as sites for public structures, added " But the State reserves the right to execute process lawfully issued vinder its authority within and upon said sites, etc., advised that such reservation might prop- erly be regarded as having the same efl'ect as that indicated by Attorney-General Gushing in 8 Opinions, 387, viz., as reserving merely the right to serve process within the lands for crimes com- mitted without the same (so as to prevent them from becoming an asylum for fugitives from justice), and that the cession might there- fore properly be accepted as sufficiently vesting in the United States the exclusive jurisdiction over the premises contemplated by the Con- stitution. (Ibid., p. 935, (1).) Effect of reservation hy Congress upon admitting Territory as a State. — When an act admitting a State into the Union, or organizing a Territorial government, provides that the lands in possession of an Indian tribe shall not be a part of such State or Territory, the new government has no jurisdiction over them. (Langford v. JMimteith, 102 U. S., 145.) For an example of such a reservation on the part of Congress in the admission of a State into the Union, see the act of July 10, 1890, (26 Stat., 222), admitting the State of Wyoming. 516 UNITED STATES MILITABY EESEEVATIONS, ETC. " Cession of jurisdiction " and a " consent to 'purchase^'' effect of each — Consent to purchase coupled with inconsistent condition can not legally ie accepted &y the JJnited States. — A cession of jurisdic- tion by a State to the United States may be qualified or conditional, and cedes only so much as is specifically expressed. (Citing Fort Leavenworth E. E. Co. v. Lowe, 144 U. S., 525.) But 2i consent to purchase, as the term is intended in the constitutional provision (Art. 1, Sec. 8-, cl. 17), conveys the whole or an exclusive jurisdiction. So, where a State legislature in giving the consent to a purchase for a constitutional purpose, couples with it a condition or qualification inconsistent with the possession of an exclusive jurisdiction by the United States, — as a condition that the State shall retain the same civil and criminal jurisdiction over persons and their property on the land that it has over other persons and property in the State — or shall retain the right to tax persons living on the land and their property, — Held, that the jurisdiction is not such as is designed by the Constitution and can not legally be accepted by the United States. (Dig. Opin. J. A. G., 1912, p. 934, E la ; citing Vol. 8, Opins. Attys. Genl., 121.) Jurisdiction vested in the United States hy an Act of Cession of a State legislature can not he affected or further limited without the consent of the United States iy a subsequent act of the legislature of said State. — An act of the legislature of a State ceding to the United States the jurisdiction of the State over a tract of land used as a military reservation, upon condition that such jurisdiction shall con- tinue only so long as the United States shall own and occupy such reservation; that the State shall have the right, within the reser- vation, to serve civil process, and to execute criminal process against persons charged with crime committed within the State; and that roads may be opened and kept in repair within such reservation, cedes to the United States the entire political jurisdiction of the State over the place in question, including judicial and legislative jurisdiction, except as to service of process and opening roads, and the same can not be afTected or further limited, without the consent of the United States, by a subsequent act of the State legislature at- tempting to impose additional restrictions on the jurisdiction ceded. (In re Ladd, 74 Fed. Eep., 31.) Recession of jurisdiction not necessary when military reservation abandoned. — Held, that there was no occasion for a statutory provi- sion ceding back, or requiring the ceding back of jurisdiction, by the United States, to the State, when a military reservation was aban- doned and turned over to the Interior Department under the Act of July 5, 1884. Such provision has sometimes appeared, as in the Act of Congress of March 3, 1819, (" authorizing the sale of certain mili- tary sites"), as also in some of the State Acts ceding jurisdiction, in which the grant is expressly limited to the period during which the premises may be held for public uses by the United States But such provisions are deemed unnecessary, the jurisdiction ceasino- of itself with the use and occupation of the land for the purposes'^for which it was granted. It is believed to be clearly inferable from the clause on the subject in the Constitution, (Art. 1, Sec. 8. cl. 17) that the State relinquishes its jurisdiction only for such terms as the par ticular status subsists in contemplation of which it was cpflA,^ (Dig. Opin. J. A. G., 1912, p. 934, Dl.) ^'^^'^- APPENDIX. £17 TAXATION. State can not assume powers conferred upon Congress ty the Con- stitution. — Neither the unlimited powers of a State to tax, nor any of its large police powers, can be exercised to such an extent as to work a practical assumption of the powers properly conferred upon Congress by the Constitution. (Railroad Company ■«. .Husen, 95 U. S., 465.) Property of the United States exempt from State taxation. — No State has the power to tax the property of the United States within its limits. (Wisconsin Railroad Company v. Price County, 133 U. S., 496.) Property of the United States is exempt by the Constitution of the United States from taxation under the authority of a State. (Van Brocklin et al. v. State of Tennessee et al., 117 U. S., 151.) Lands purchased ty United States at tax sale exempt while held hy the United States. — Lands in a State which, pursuant to acts of Congress for the laying and collecting of direct taxes, is sold, struck off and purchased by the United States for the amount of the tax thereon, and is afterwards sold by the United States for a larger sum, or redeemed by the former owner, is exempt from taxation by the State, while so owned by the United States; and for nonpayment of taxes assessed by the State during that time, can not be sold after- wards. (Ibid.) Lands of United States can not he taxed without their consent. — Whether the property of the United States shall be taxed under the laws of a State depends upon the will of its owner, the United States, and no State can tax the property of the United States without their consent. (Ibid.) Federal property. — Property, the title of which is held by the United States, for whatever purpose, is exempt from State taxation while so held. (People ex rel. McCrea v. The United States, etc., 93 111., 30.) Levy hy State of tax upon all real estate does not include that of the United States within its limits. — An act of a State legislature laying a tax on all real estate, to wit, on various sorts of real estate specified by the act, and as such shown to be private property, does not include property of any sort of the United States within its ter- ritory. (United States v. Weise, 28 Fed. Cases, p. 518. See, also, Van Brocklin v. Tennessee, 117, U. S., 151.) Same. — The general words of a statute do not include the govern- ment or affect its rights, unless such purpose be clear and indisputable on the face of the act. (The United States v. Griswold, 5 Saw- yer, 25.) Effect of reservation hy State of right to tax private property in territory wherein jurisdiction is ceded to the United States. — When a State, in ceding to the United States exclusive jurisdiction over a tract of land within its limits, reserves to itselJf the right to tax private property therein, and the United States do not dissent, the property and franchises of a railroad therein are liable to taxation by the State. (Fort Leavenworth R. R. Co. v. Lowe, 114 U. S. Rep., 525.) Persons 7-esiding on military reservations exempt from State, county and town tax. — Pej'sons residing upon military reservations are exempt from the payment of Stat«, Coimty and to^vn taxes and 518 UNITED STATES MILITARY EESEEVATIONS, ETC. therefore- are not entitled to the benefits arising therefrom. (Vol. 6, p. 577, Opins. Attys. Genl. See 1 Metcalf, 580.) Power of ta;rafion iy States restrained when incompatible with and repugnant to the constitutional laws of the Union. — That the power of taxation is one of vital importance; that it is retained by the States ; that it is not abridged by the grant of a similar power to the government of the Union ; that it is to be concurrently exercised by the two governments ; are truths which have never been denied. But, such is the paramount character of the Constitution, that its capacity to withdraw any subject from the action of even this power is ad- mitted. The States are exjDressly forbidden to lay any duties on imports or exports, except what may be absolutely necessary for exe- cuting their inspection laws. If the obligation of this prohibition must be conceded — if it may restrain a State from the exercise of its taxing power on imports and exports, the same paramount character would seem to restrain, as it certainly may restrain, a State from such other exercise of this power, as is in its nature incompatible with, and repugnant to, the Constitutional laws of the Union. A law, abso- lutely repugnant to another, as entirely repeals that other as if express terms of repeal were used. (McCuUoch v. Maryland, 4 Wheat., 316, 425.) State controlled hy the Constitution of the United States in article of taxation. — The sovereignty of the State, in the article of taxation itself, is subordinate to, and may be controlled by, the Constitution of the United States. How far it has been controlled by that instru- ment, must be a question of construction. In making this construc- tion, no principle not declared, can be admissible which would defeat the legitimate operations of a supreme government. It is of the very essence of supremacy to remove all obstacles to its action within its own sphere, and so to modify every power vested in subordinate gov- ernments, as to exempt its own operations from their own influence. This effect need not be stated in terms. It is involved in the decla- ration of supremacy, so necessarily implied in it, that the expression of it could not make it more certain. (Ibid.) States can not tajx the instrumentalities of the General Govern- ment. — If the States may tax one instrument employed by the gov- ernment in the execution of its powers, they may tax any and every other instrument. They may tax the mail ; they may tax the mint ; they may tax patent rights ; they may tax the papers of the custom- house; they may tax judicial processes; they may tax all the means employed by the government, to an excess which would defeat all the ends of government. This was not intended by the American peo- ple. They did not design to make this government dependent on the States. (Ibid.) A question of supremacy. — If the controlling power of the States be established; if their supremacy as to taxation be acknowledged; what is to restrain their exercising this control in any shape they may please to give it? Their sovereignty is not confined to taxa- tion. That is not the only mode in which it might be displayed. The question is, in truth, a question of supremacy ; and if the right of the States to tax the means employed by the general o'overnment be conceded, the declaration that the Constitution and tbe^'laws made ui pursuance thereof, shall be the supreme law of the land is empty n,nd unmeaning. (Ibid.) APPENDIX. 519 General power of taxation conferred upon the General Govern- ment — Power exercised hy the people of the States and hy the States in Congress. — The people of all the States have created the general government, and have conferred upon it the general power of taxa- tion. The people of all the States, and the States themselves, are represented in Congress, and, by their representatives, exercise this power. When they tax the chartered institutions of the States they tax their constituents ; and these taxes must be uniform. But, when a State taxes the operations of the government of the United States, it acts upon institutions created, not by their own constituents, but by people over whom they claim no control. It acts upon the meas- ui'es of a government created by others as well as themselves, for the benefit of others in common with themselves. The difference is that which always exists, and always must exist, between the action of the whole on a part and the action of a part on the whole — between the laws of a government declared to be supreme, and those of a govern- ment which, when in opposition to those laws, is not supreme. (Ibid., See also Osborn et al. v. The United States Bank, 9 Wheat., 738; Providence Bank v. Billings, 4 Pet., 514, and Weston v. The City Council of Charleston, 2 Pet., 449.) Power of State does not extend to means employed hy Congress to ^arry into execution powers conferred upon it. — All subjects over which the sovereign power of a State extend are objects of taxation; but those over which it does not extend are, upon the soundest prin- ciples, exempt from taxation. The sovereignty of a State extends to everything which exists by its own authority, or is introduced by its permission, but not to those means which are employed by Congress to carry into execution powers conferred on that body by the people of the United States. The attempt to use the power of taxation on the means employed by the government of the Union in pursuance of the Constitution, is itself an abuse, because it is the usurpation of a power which the people of a single State can not give. (Weston v. The City Council of Charleston, 2 Pet., 449; citing INIcCulloch v. Maryland, 4 Wheat., 316.) Same. — The State has no power, by taxation, or otherwise, to retard, impede, burden, or in any manner control the operation of the constitutional laws enacted by Congress, to carry into execution the • powers vested in the general government. (Ibid.) Exemption of agencies of Federal Government depends upon effect of tax — A tax upon their operations can not he upheld. — The exemp- tion of agencies of the Federal Government from taxation by the States is dependent, not upon the nature of the agents nor upon the mode of their constitution, nor upon the fact that they are agents, but upon the effect of the tax ; that is, upon the question whether the tax does in truth deprive them of power to serve the government as they were inclined to serve it, or hinder the efficient exercise of their power. A tax upon their property merely, having no such necessary effect, and leaving them free to discharge the duties they have undertaken to perform, may be rightfully laid by the State. A tax upon their operations, being a direct obstruction to the exercise of Federal powers, may not be. (Eailroad Company v. Peniston, 18 Wall., 5.) When State taxation upheld. — All State taxation which does not impair the agent's efficiency in the discharge of his duties to the gov- ernment has been sustained when challenged, and a tax upon his 520 UNITED STATES MILITARY RESERVATIONS, ETC. property generally has not been regarded as beyond the power of a State to impose. (Ibid.) An incident -of sovereignty — Right of legislation co-extensiye with jurisdiction of State — Limitations upon that right. — Taxation is a sacred right, essential to the existence of government; an incident of sovereignty. The right of legislation is co-extensive with the incident, to attach it upon all persons and property within the jurisdiction of a State. But in our system there are limitations upon that right. There is a concurrent right of legislation in the states and the United States, except as both are restrained by the Constitution of the United States. Both are restrained by express prohibitions in the Constitution, and the states, by such as are reciprocally implied, when the exercise of the right by a state conflicts with the perfect exe- cution of another sovereign power delegated to the United States. That occurs when taxation by a state acts upon the instruments, and emoluments, and persons which the United States may use and employ as necessary and proper means to execute their sovereign power. The government of the United States is supreme within its sphere of action. The means necessary and proper to carry into effect the powers in the Constitution are in Congress. (Dobbins v. Commis- sioners of Erie County, 16 Pet., 435.) Law of State iTnposing a tax upon an office, held under the United States invalid. — The compensation of an officer of the United States is fixed by a law made by Congress. It is in its exclusive discretion to declare what shall be given. It exercises the discretion and fixes the amount ; and confers upon the officer the right to receive it when it has been earned. Any law of a state imposing a tax upon the office, diminishing the recompense, is in conflict with the law of the United States which secures the allowance to the officer. (Ibid.) Limitation upon poiver of State to tax — State tax laws can not re- strain action of national govern'ment. — All subjects over which the sovereign power of a state extends are, as a general rule, proper ob- jects of taxation, but the power of a state to tax does not extend to those means which are employed by Congress to carry into execution the powers conferred in the federal Constitution. (Citing McCul- loch V. Maryland, 4 Wheat., 429.) Unquestionably the taxing power 'of the states is very comprehensive and pervading, but it is not with- out limits. State tax laws can not restrain the action of the national government, nor can they abridge the operation of any law which Congress may constitutionally pass. They may extend to every ob- ject of value within the sovereignty of the state, but they can not reach the administration of justice in the Federal Courts, nor the col- lection of the public revenue, nor interfere with any constitutional regulations of commerce. (Society for Savings v. Coite, 6 AY all.. 594, 605 ; citing Brown v. Maryland, 12 Wheat., 448 ; Weston et al v. Charleston, 2 Pet., 467.) Officer or soldier, though not taxable officially, may he person- ally. — An officer or soldier of the army, though not taxable officially, may be and often is taxable personally. He is not taxable by a state for his pay, or for the arms, instruments, uniform clothing, or other property pertaining to his military office or capacity, but as to house- hold furniture and other personal property, not military, he is (ex- cept where stationed at a place under the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States) , equally subject with other residents or inhabit- APPENDIX. 521 ants to taxation under the local law. (Dig. Opin. J. A. G.. 191'J. p. 1021, D.) Military reservations — Not liable to he assessed for fuhllc improoe- ments. — In ceding to the United States exclusive jurisdiction over a military reservation, the act of the legisltaure of the State need not specifically relinquish the right to tax, as the State independently of any act of cession has no right to tax the means or instrumentalities whereby the government of the United States performs its functions. And this includes and applies to a municipality within the State as being a part of the State and created by it. So held, that a tax levied by the city of Buffalo, N. Y., on the lands of the Fort Porter military reservation, for non-payment of assessments, or otherwise, was wholly illegal and void. Similarly held, that the city authorities of High- land Park, Illinois, were not empowered to levy on the Fort Sheridan reservation for the improvement of adjacent lands or for other public improvements. (Ibid., p. 1023 A.) Same. — When the absolute title to property remains in the United States, no matter for what purpose it is acquired or held, it is not sub- ject to State or Municipal taxation. (Am. and Engl. Ency. of Law, Vol. 25, p. 110, and cases cited.) Execution of State lairs. — With respect to land owned by the United States within the limits of a State, over which the State has not parted with its jurisdiction, the United States stands in the rela- tion of a proprietor simply; and the State officers have the same right to enter upon such land, or into the buildings located there, and seize the personal property of individuals for non-payment of taxes thereon, as they have to enter upon the land or into the buildings of any other proprietor for the same purpose ; such right being so exer- cised as not to interfere with the operations of the General Govern- ment. (Vol. 14, pp. 199, 200, Opins. Attys. Genl.) TITLE. Authority to purchase lands. — No land shall be purchased on ac- count of the United States, except under a law authorizing such pur- chase. (Sec. 3736, U. S. Eev. Stats.) The United States may acquire title to land when taken as securiti/ for debt.— The seventh section of the act of May 1, 1820 (Sec. d7?A\ R. S.) , does not prcA^ent the acquisition of the legal title to land by the United States, when taken as security for a debt by the proper oificer, though not specially required or authorized by any particular act of Congress. (Neilson v. Lagow, 12 Howard, 98.) Appropriation of funds for a public improvement sufficient author- ity for the purchase of the land necessary therefor. — Section 3730. Eevised Statutes, should not be construed to apply to executed con- tracts so as to defeat the title of the United States to land it has paid for, and an act authorizing a public improvement and appropriating money therefor is sufficient authority for the purchase of land neces- sary or proper to such improvement. (Burns v. U. S., 160 Fed. Eep., 631.) The United States may receive real property as a security for debt and eventually acquire title thereto. — The United States, in their political capacity, may enter into contracts, may take a bond, and may recei\'e real or other property as security for a debt, in cases not 522 UNITED STATES MILITARY RESEEVATIONS, ETC. previously provided for by law. This power exists as an incident to the general right of sovereignty; and the government being a body politic, may, within the sphere of the constitutional powers confided to it, and through the instrumentality of the proper department to which those powers are confided, enter into contracts not prohibited by law, and appropriate to the just exercise of those powers. It does not require legislation to empower the proper department to act in making the contract )r receiving the security ; the power exists as an incident to sovereignty, and may be exercised by the proper depart- ment if not forbidden by legislation. (Dikes v. Miller, 25 Texas Supp., 281. See Dugan v. The United States, 3 Wheat., 172; The United States v. Tingey, 5 Peters, 114; The United States v. Bradley, 10 Peters, 343 ; The United States v. Levin, 15 Peters, 290 ; Neilson v. Lagow, 12 Howard, 107, and The United States v. Lane, 3 McLean, 366.) Lands acquired hy the Urdted States for a particular -use. — A grant of land for a particular use is sometimes held to constitute a qualified or determinable fee, so that if the land is put to other uses it reverts to the grantor ; but where the proposed use is kept up the grantor can not claim the property under his right of reverter because it is also put to another use, " unless by the grant the use is, by words excluding any other use, restricted to the purpose recited." (See leading cases in American Law of Real Property, vol 2, pp. 24^27; Dig. Opin. J. A. G., 1912, p. 915-c and c-(l).) Reservation for yublic purposes. — Decision as to the quantity of land to be reserved for public use, and the places where to be located, rests in the discretion of the President, subject to such regulations as may from time to time be provided by law, either as to the particu- lar use, the quantity, or the subsequent disposal thereof for private use. (Vol. 6, p. 156, Opins. Attys. Gen.) " The subsequent disposal thereof for private use " has been modified by acts of Congress, par- ticularly the act approved July 5, 1884, which reads as follows: That whenever, in the opinion of the President of the United States, the lands, or any portion of them, included within the limits of any military reservation heretofore or hereafter declared, have become or shall become useless for mili- tary purposes, he shall cause the same or so much thereof as he may designate, to be placed under the control of the Secretary of the Interior for disposition as hereinafter provided, and shall cause to be filed with the Secretary of the In- terior a notice thereof. (Act of July 5, 1884; 23 Stats., 103.) Lands acquired hy United States for public purposes are not puhlic lands. — Lands acquired by the United States for public uses, by pur- chase with the consent of the States, or by an exercise of the right of eminent domain, are not public lands, that term applying only to " such lands as are subject to sale or other disposition under general laws." (Newhall v. Sanger, 92 U. S., 761; Vol. 5, p. 678. Opins. Attys. Genl.) The power over the public lands is vested in Congress by the Constitution, without limitation, and is the foundation upon which the territorial government rests. (U. S. v Gratiot 14 Pet 526.) ■ ' Title to lands purchased — When money can he expended Duties of officers.— ^0 public moneys shall be expended upon any site or land purchased by the United States for the purposes of erectine thereon any armory, arsenal, fort, fortification, navy-yard custom- house, light-house, or other public building of any kind whatever APPENDIX. 523 until the written opinion of the Attorney-General shall be had in favor of the validity of the title, nor until the consent of the legisla- ture of the State in which the land or site may be, to such purchase, has been given. The district attorneys of the United States, upon the application of the Attorney-General, shall furnish any assistance or information in their power in relation to the titles of the public property lying within their respective districts. And the Secretaries of the Departments, upon the application of the Attorney-General, shall procure any additional evidence of title which he may deem nec- essary and which may not be in the possession of the Officers of the government, and the expenses of procuring it shall be paid out of the appropriations made for the contingencies of the Departments respec- tively. (Sec. 355, U. S. Eev. Stats.) Examination of land titles. — Upon this subject the Hon. Caleb Gushing spoke as follows : " Morally speaking, professionally speak- ing, officially speaking, when the Attorney-General certifies the valid- ity of a title he warrants it to the Government. He does not warrant in law, as he does a piece of his own land which he sells ; but he war- rants in honor and conscience. It is upon the sole faith of his war- ranty, regardless of the warrantors in the deed, that the government buys the land, and proceeds to expend, it may be, millions of the public treasure, in the construction of edifices for the permanent use of the United States." (Vol. 8, p. 407 Opins. Attys. Genl.) Title to land may he acquired iy the United States prior to consent of State to the purchase. — Section 355, Revised Statutes, in prohib- iting the expenditure of public money, for the purposes therein men- tioned, before the consent of the State to the purchase of the land is obtained, does not preclude the mere purchase itself. The land, therefore, may legally be paid for, and the title thereto acquired, in the absence of such consent. (Citing Vol. 10, p. 39, Opins. Attys. Genl.; 15 id., 213.) Neither the constitutional provision (Art. 1, Sec. 8, cl. 17) nor the statute (Sec. 355, R. S.) precludes the United States from acquiring the title to the land. (Dig. Opin. J. A. G., 1912, p. 941, 2.) When title vests. — Title to lands transferred to the Government by deed vests in the United States only when the Attorney General ap- proves the title (Ryan v. United States, 136 U. S., 86), but title to land acquired by condemnation proceedings " does not vest until the amount of compensation is ultimately fixed and made to the owner." (Cherokee Nation v. Kans. Ry. Co., 135 U. S., 659.) Direct tax sale — Evidence of title — Certificate. — A certificate signed by only two of the direct-tax commissioners appointed under the act of Congress of June 7, 1862, that land charged with the tax had been sold to the United States is admissible in evidence in an action brought to try the title to land. It is error to rule such a cer- tificate void. The act of Congress contemplates a certificate of sale though the United States becomes the purchaser. (Coolev v. O'Con- ner, 12 Wall., 391.) Effect of certificate as evidence — How affected. — AA^here lands have been sold for an unpaid direct tax. the tax-sale certificate is, under the act of February 6, 1863, (12 Stat., 640), prima facie evidence not only of a regular sale, but of all the antecedent facts which are essential to its ^'alidity and to that of the purchaser's title. It can only be affected by establishing that the lands were not subject to the 524 UNITED STATES MILITARY HESEBVATIONS, ETC. tax, or that it had been paid previously to the sale, or that they have been redeemed according to the provisions of the act. The ruling in Cooley V. O'Connor (12 Wall., 391), that the act of Congress contem- plates such a certificate where the United States is the purchaser reaf- firmed._ (De Treville v. Smalls, 98 U. S., 517.) Gertijicate given by commissioner prim,a facie evidence of regu- larity of sale, etc. — The court reaffirms the doctrine in De Treville v. Smalls (98 U. S., 517) , that the certificate given by the commissioners to the purchaser of lands at a sale for a direct tax, under the act of June 7, 1862, (12 Stat., 422), as amended by the act of February 6, 1863, (id., 640), is prima facie evidence of the regularity of the sale and of all the antecedent facts essential to its validity and to that of his title thereunder, and that it can only be affected by establishing that the lands were not subject to the tax, or that it had been paid pre- viously to the sale, or that they had been redeemed. (Keeley v. San- ders, 99 U. S., 441; the rulings in above case and in De Treville v. Smalls reaffirmed in Sherry v. McKinley, 99 U. S., 496). Sale of land for taxes the highest exercise of sovereign power — When not valid. — No sale of land for taxes, no taxes can be assessed on any property, but by virtue of the sovereign authority in whose jurisdiction it is done. If not assessed by direct act of the legislature itself, it must, to be valid, be done under authority of a law enacted by such legislature. A valid sale, therefore, for taxes, being the highest exercise of sovereign power of the States, must carry the title to the property sold, and if it does not do this, it is because the assess- ment is void. (Northern Pacific Kailroad Company -y. Traill County, 115 U. S., 600.) Devise of lands to United States void in Neiu York. — The several States of the Union possess the power to regulate the tenure of real property within their respective limits, the modes of its acquisition and transfer, the rules of its descent, and the extent to which a testa- mentary disposition of it may be exercised by its owners. By a Statute of New York a devise of lands in that State can only be made to natural persons and to such corporations as are created under the laws of the State and are authorized to take by devise. A devise, therefore, of lands in that State to the government of the United States is void. (United States v. Fox, 98 U. S. Eep., 315.) The right of the State of New York under the reservation in the grant of lands to the United States limited hy the purposes of the grant. — Where certain land (now constituting part of the Fort Por- ter Military reservation at Buffalo, N. Y.) was granted to the United States under an act of the legislature of New York, dated February 28, 1842, " for military purposes, reserving a free and uninterrupted use and control in the canal commissioners of all that may be neces- sary for canal and harbor purposes." Held, That the right of the State, under the reservation in the grant is limited by the purposes of the grant, and that the State is not entitled to use the land for any purpose, if thereby the use for the military purposes of the United States will be interfered with; yet that the State has a right to use so much of the land as may be necessary for canal and harbor pur- poses, when such use does not interfere with its use for the military purposes of the government. Accordingly, held, that the Secretary of War may permit the State of New York to use so much of the premises for canal purposes as will not interfere with the use thereof APPENDIX. 525 for military purposes. (In short, the reservation in the grant can be deemed valid only so far as it is not repugnant to the grant.) (Vol. 16, p. 592, Opins. Attys. Genl.) Conveyance upon compromise of question of title valid. — The deed of conveyance executed to the United States on the ^Sth day of Octo- ber, 1854, by the City of Carondelet, of a part of the Commons of Carondelet upon which Jefferson Barracks ai"e situated, having been based upon an equitable compromise of a long-pending and doubtful question of title, is valid. (City of St. Louis v. The United States, 92 U. S., 462.) Lands can not he purchased nor accepted as a gift for., or donation to., the United States in the absence of statutory authority — The word " purchase " construed. — In the absence of statutory authoritj'', land can not be purchased for the United States with any more legality than land of the United States can be sold or disposed of. By a provision of the Act of May 1, 1820, now contained in Section 3736, Eevised Statutes, it is declared that " No land shall be purchased on accoimt of the United States except under a law authorizing such purchase." Held that the term " purchase " was to be understood in its legal sense, as embracing any mode of acquiring property other than by descent (citing Vol. 7, pp. 114, 121, Opins. Attys, Genl. and Ex parte Hebard, 4 Dillon, 314) ; and that therefore the Secretary of War would not be empowered to accept a gift of land or inter- est in land, for any use or purpose independently of statutory au- thority. (Concurred in by an opinion of the Attorney-General in Vol. 16, p. 414, Opins. Attys. Genl.) And similarly held as to the construction of the same word ("purchase "), as employed in Section 355, Eevised Statutes, and advised that an appropriation of public money could not legally be expended for the erection of a public building upon land donated to the United States, until the Attorney- General had approved the title, and the legislature of the State in which the land was situated had given its consent to the grant. (Dig. Opin. J. A. G., 1912, p. 910 A, citing Vol. 10, p. 35, and Vol. 15, p. 212, Opins. Attys. Genl. to the effect that under the implied authority contained in Sec. 1838, Eev. Stats., lands required as sites for forts, arsenals, etc., or needful public buildings, may be purchased (or acquired by gift) without the consent of the State, though in the absence of such consent, public money can not, in view of the pro- visions of Sec. 355, legally be expended upon the buildings.) Title to soil under tide water. — It is a well-settled rule of law in this couft that absolute property in, and dominion and sovereignty over, the soils under the tide waters in the original States were reserved to the several States, and that the new States since admitted have the same rights, sovereignty, and jurisdiction in that behalf as the original States possess within their respective borders. Upon the acquisition of the territory from Mexico the United States acquired the title to tide lands equally with the title to upland ; but with respect to the former they hold it only in trust for the future States that might be erected out of such territory. (Knight v. United States Land Association, 142 U. S. Eep., 182, citing Martin r. Waddell, 16 Pet., 367, 410; Pollard v. Hogan, 3 How., 212, 229; Goodtitle V. Kibbe, 9 How., 471, 478; ]Mumford v. Wardwell. 6 Wall., 423, 436; and Weber v. Harbor Commissioners, 18 Wall., 57, 65.) 526 UNITED STATES MILITARY EESEEVATIONS, ETC. The United States hold public lands by virtue of deeds of cession and statutes, not by sovereignty. (Pollard's Lessee v. Hogan, 3 How., 212.) Title to shores of navigable luaiers and the soil under them. — The shores of navigable waters and the soil under them were not granted by the Constitution to the United States, but reserved to the States respectively. And the new States have the same rights as the origi- nal States. (Ibid.) Reservation. — The President may reserve from sale and set apart for public use parcels of land belonging to the United States, and may modify a reservation previously made. (Grisar v. McDowell, 6 Wall., p. 364.) Validity of Executive order rests on established and recognized power in the President — Poioer recognized hy Congress. — -The valid- ity of the Executive Order rests, not on the Statute, but on a long- established and long-recognized power in the President to withhold from sale or settlement, as he may deem proper. Congress recog- nized this power in the Oregon legislation which, while not granting, simply sought to restrict that already existing. When Congress creates an exception from a power, it necessarily affirms the existence of such power, and hence th(i well-known axiom that the exception proves the rule. Congress has recognized this power in the President by various acts, notably May 29, 1830 (4 Stat., 421), and September 4, 1841 (5 Stat., 456). The Supreme Court has adjudged the exist- ence of the power in the President. (Wolcott v. Des Moines Com- pany, 5 Wall., 681; Grisar v. McDowell, 6 Wall., 363; Wolsey v. Chapman, 101 U. S., 755; Williams v. Baker, 17 Wall., 144; Wilcox i;. Jackson, 13 Pet., 498). State can not regulate transfer of lands of United States — State's right of eminent domain does not extend over property of United States. — No State can, by her laws, regulate the mode by which the lands of the United States shall pass into private right and individ- ual property in opposition to the laws of the United States. The State of Illinois has undoubted right to dispose of its own property as it shall seem expedient ; and it has the right of eminent domain, — that is, to take private property to public use, making just compensa- tion to owner. But this right of eminent domain does not extend to the taking of the public property of the Government of the United States. Therefore, The Chicago and Rock Island Eailroad Company and Eailroad Bridge Company can not lawfully enter upon and use, for the purpose of a road, or for any other object, the military reser- vation of Rock Island, under pretense of authority from the State of Illinois. (Vol. 6, p. 670, Opins. Attys. Genl.) Reservation of land — When made at request of the Secretari/ of War equivalent to order of President. — A reservation of lands, made at the request of the Secretary of War, for purposes in his depart- ment, must be considered as made by the President of the United States within the terms of the act of Congress. (Wilcox v Jackson 13 Peters, 498.) ' Land once legally appropriated, no longer part of the putlic land. — Whensoever a tract of land shall have once been legally appropriated to any purpose, from that moment the land thus appro- APPENDIX. 527 priated becomes severed from the mass of public lands; and no subse- quent law, or proclamation, or sale, would be construed to embrace it, or to operate upon it ; although no other reservation were made of it. (Ibid.) _ Question as to when title passes from United States settled l>y laws of United States. — Whenever the question in any court, State or Fed- eral, is whether the title to property which had belonged to the United States has passed, that question must be resolved by the laws of the United States. But whenever the property has passed, accord- ing to those laws, then the property, like all other in the State, is sub- ject to State legislation ; so far as that legislation is consistent with the admission that the title passed and vested according to the laws of the United States. (Ibid.) Reservation in Montana not limited to GJtO acres — Limitation in act of February H, 1863, applies to Oregon only — Power of President. — By Executive Order of August 5, 1888, 50 acres of land were added to • the Fort Missoula military reservation, which was originally estab- lished with an area of 640 acres by Executive Order of February 19, 1877. The land covered by these orders was formerly within the Ter- ritory of Oregon; but under the act of March 2, 1853, chapter 90, establishing the Territory of Washington, it fell within the latter Territory; and when the Territory of Montana was created, by the act of May 26, 1864, chapter 95, it became a part of that Territory, and so remained at the time said orders were issued. By the act of February 14, 1853, chapter 69, it was provided that all reservations theretofore as well as thereafter made under the act of September 27, 1850, chapter 76 (which applies to Oregon only), should as to forts be limited to not exceeding 640 acres at any one place ; and the afore- said act of May 26, 1864, declared that all laws of the United States not locally inapplicable shall have the same force and effect within the Territory of Montana as elsewhere within the United States: Held, that the act of 1864 was intended to give effect in Montana only to such general laws of the United States as were not inapplicable to that Territory and not to legislation of a special or local character; that the limitation of 640 acres was not made operative thereby in Montana ; that the President was fully empowered to make the order of August 5, 1888; and that while such order remained unrevoked the land covered thereby is not open to entry or settlement. (Vol. 19, p. 370, Opins. Attys. Genl.) Regulations of Attorney -General respecting evidences of titles. — The following regulations have been prepared for the convenience of those who may have occasion to draw conveyances, make abstracts, or collect evidence of title to lands in cases where it may be the duty of this office to certify concerning the validity of title. A strict observ- ance of them will greatly facilitate the examination, as well as tend to correct conclusions: 1. The deed from the vendor to the United States and their assigns must be acknowledged according to the laws of the State, District, or Territory where the land lies. 2. A plot or draft of the land should be furnished, showing the boundary lines, their courses and distances, and the adjoining owners, streets, rivers, or other waters. 12925°— 16 34 528 UNITED STATES MILITARY EESERVATIONS, ETC. 3. Where the property proposed to be sold consists of more than one piece, the titles to which are derived through different persons, the dividing lines must be traced on the draft, and the separate pieces distinctly marked. 4. It is necessary to have an accurate and full abstract of the title, showing its transmission from the original source to the vendor, with each transfer noted in the proper order of time, the name of each grantor ajid grantee written at length, with dates showing when the several conveyances were executed, acknowledged, and recorded. This abstract must note every fact on which the validity of the title depends, whether it be proved by matter of record, by deed, or en pais. 5. The abstract must be verified, by being accompanied either with the original documents it refers to, or else with copies legally authenticated. 6. The title papers must all be marked with numbers corresponding to the numbers imder which they are arranged in the abstract. 7. When an estate in the land has passed by devise, the will and the probate must be shown, and if the devisee is not named, proof of his identity will be required. 8. Where it has descended from an intestate ancestor to his heirs, satisfactory proof of the condition and number of the decedent's family must be given. 9. If the estate has passed by judicial sale, or by a sale under the order of any court, or if it has been divided by proceedings in parti- tion, the regularity of the sale or partition must be shown by a copy of the record. 10. The foreclosure of a mortgage can be shown only by an authen- tic copy of the proceedings had for that purpose. 11. When the wife of a grantor has not joined in a deed, some evidence must be given that he was unmarried at the time, or that his wife is since dead. 12. If the grantor be a woman, it must be shown that she was unmarried at the date of the deed from her. 13. When a deed is executed by the heirs of a person within twenty- one years after his death, evidence will be required to show that they were of full age at the time of the grant. 14. When the title has passed through a corporate body, the charter must be produced and the authority of the officer who granted away the estate must be shown. 15. When the estate has been conditional, it will be necessary to furnish clear proof that the conditions have been fulfilled or lawfully excused. 16. When the title depends on statute law, other than the public laws of the United States ; upon a local law-, differing from the gen- eral rule of the common law ; upon a public document, or upon his- tory, the books relied on to establish it should be accurately referred to and the page noted. 17. Presumptions arising from lapse of time will be allowed the weight given to them by the judicial tribunals of the State where the land lies. An apparent defect in an old deed need not be explained if the possession of the property has been according to such deed for thirty years or upward. APPENDIX. 529 18. A title offered to the United States will not be regarded as invalid on account of an outstanding title which has been barred by a legal limitation. But in all cases where time is relied on to extin- guish an outstanding title, the party must show by clear proof, not only an adverse possession for the full period, but also that there are no persons who have rights that may be saved by exceptions to the statute. 19. Before sending the papers to this office for examination, they should be submitted to the attorney of the United States for the dis- trict in which the land lies. It will be his duty to certify an opinion on the whole title and to state particularly whether the local laws are correctly given, the papers properly authenticated, and the facts estab- lished by satisfactory proof.
