ItlO JANIKKO The recent
refusal of the supreme, court of
Hra7.il to grant an Injunction to
Henry Kord against dm its un the
Importation of rubber seeds from
iiie state to nnulher, has served in
draw attention to the, multiplicity
of these Interstate tariff walls in
1 im tsfl. The constitution of the
country, like that of the lTnited
States, prohittits these levies but j
the provision has been honored :
more In the breach than In the ob- 1
servanee.
In refusing the- Ford petition, the,
high court explained that the find-!
Ing was based entirely upon the '
faulty form in. which the request J
was offered. Lawyer believe that i
if a technically correct petition is!
presumed to the. court, the state of j
Tail's tariff on rubber .seeds will,
be declared uneoonstitutlunal, giv-i
inn a basis upon which to fight sim- ;

The discussion, has brought out
that many cities hay followed the
examples of the states und have
plaeetl taxes upon products coming
into their limits, tlie duties being
si th ilar to the "octroi" taxes of
l'aris. Along some of the railroad
llnesi especitlly those, north of tins
city, duties nave been levied on
goods in transit, even when the
goods are in car load lots.
