STATE RUM IIS CAUSE HEADACHE TO Efforts to Protect Home In terests Array State Against State in Imposi tion of Excessive Taxes. By PRK8TON GROVKR WASHINGTON . Prom s llqunr standpoint this country Is turning into a legislative Balkan. State arrays Itself against state, enacting first one law and then an other to shut out competitive liquor. Already It Is down to a point where various states seem to be In need of reciprocal trade treaties. It all started with the 21st amend ment to the constitution which pro vides, as e protection to the dry states, that no liquor could be im ported into & state In violation of its laws. That sounded Just fine to all concerned until California (theie native sons are enterprising) enacted a law Imposing a C500 tax on whole salers bringing beer into the state from other states. In effect K was simply a tariff to protect California beer brewers. Evi dently nobody had thought of that possibility arising out of the 21st amendment. But It did. And the su preme court said the act was strlctlv In accord with the last amendmen" even if it did upset that aarlter pari of the constitution which prohibited any state setting ip barriers to com merce among the states. Follow the Leader California, with plenty of wine t; sell, soon saw a warning tight and repealed its law, but the seed was sown. Other states began taking it up. Indiana Imposed $1600 special tax on wholesalers who imported out-of-state beer, and Minnesota added somo flourishes by prohibiting .m port of hard liquor unless it wsb either a patented brand or had been re-processed in Minnesota after importation. The' Minnesota law came quickly to the supreme court and brought out one of the strangest colloquies' the supreme court has heard in days. The following quotations are not exact but the substance is there: "Minnesota argues," said the state attorney general In effect, "that it may Impose any terms it chooata upon tho importation of liquor and it will be constitutional under the 21st amendment." "Do you mean," asked Chief Justice Hughes in effect, "that if Minnesota says that out-of-state liquor may be imported only by people who wear a certain kind of clothes, such Vgls- (am 'Tv- ) ! X - ' ""'iifr', y I GRIN AND WEAR IT! That's the motto of Jimmy Dl neen of Maiden, Mas., whow freckled countenance won hint the title of "most freckled lad in Greater Boston," So wearing thai spattered look had great com pensation for cheerful Jimmy. ' both the Michigan and Missouri ct and the liquor makers have appealed to UM supreme court. Brownsboro la t Ion will be valid? Let me put It another way. Do you mean that the state could enact a law permitting importation of liquor only by those j who voted a certain way, and it would be valid?" The state attorney general thought that one over for a long moment, then answered: "Yes." And what happened? The supreme court upheld the Minnesota law. Confusion Confounded But the thing has now become even more entangled. Missouri evidently tired of having Its liquor shut out of state after state. Missouri mke several prominent brands of beer. Su it said, in effect, that any state whli'h enscts legislation discriminating against Missouri liquor can't ship its liquor Into Missouri. Michigan en acted a similar law. Immediately five prominent dis tilleries. Including the big Schenley outfit, brought suit against Mis souri to test the constitutionality -if such a law. The IndlsnapollR Brew ing company brought similar suit against the Michigan liquor commis sion. Lower federal courts ha?e upheld BROWNSBORO, Aug. 35.
