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repealed its law, but the seed was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
