Inter-State Commerce and Jog Laws.
In commenting on the decision
Of tne United States Supreme
Court upholding the Iowa An ti
Cigarette law, the News and Ob
server says it "will probably have
and like police legislation. " Pos
sibly, the News and Observer has
overlooked the following Very re
cent decisions : ; v a I
The Supreme Court of tlje Unit
ed States reversed the decision of
the Supremo Cpurt of Iowa. in the
cases involving the construction
of the Iowa prohibitory Jivuor
law, the opinion in each case be
ing handed "down by -Justice
White.- "In the first case, that Of
-the Arnericab Express l Company,
against the State of Iowa, the
State authorities : seized j certain
packages of liquor sent o., p. d?,
from Rock Island. 111., to .Tama,
Iowa, and their destruction was
ordered.
The Supreme Court of Iowa sus
tained this proceeding, but th
judgment was reversed om' the
ground that it is in cohtrayention
of the federal constitution. Jus
tice V hi te added that if such a
practice was carried to its legiti
mate conculsiou and the various
States given authority to control
C- O. D. shipments" of merchan
dise from one state to .auother
much of the interstate business of
the country would be placed at
the mercy of the States. He also
said.tbat the position taken by the
lower court .that the question of
intersate commerce- is not involv
ed in the case is not tenable .the
court held was the principal point
involvecl, :',; '".. ' '
The Other case was that of the
Adams'Expfess Company vs the
State of Iowa, and involved the
same question as the American
Company's casej except that in
the Adams Company's case the
proceeding, was decided against
the company on the charge of
maintaining a house for the .salB
of liquor. In this . as in the first
case.-the State cpurt wa.s reversed
on the ground that the Judgment
is an interferrisnce with trade 'be
tween th States. Wilmington

believing that speculation togeth
er with a laree cron 01 cotton are
the prime causes of the low prices

tne only remedy ior tne saia ae-

Therefore be it resolved,
Istj That we withhold as much
cotton tipw on hand from the

til we shall obtain at least ten
cents for middling cotton, and
such prices as will justify raising.

to reduce acreage of cotton for the
year 1905 at least one-fourth.
8rd, That we all promise, where
possioie to store our cottoj at
home and to keep it out of the
hands of those who can make use
of it to fill future contracts to the
detriment of better prices.

ing in futures as a species of gamb
ling detrimental to the best inter
est of the cotton farmers of the
