Approv al Is Hoped It Will Be come Nationwide WASHINGTON, April 2. (UP) An agreement between southern bus lines and railroads, which it is hoped may set an example for solution of the national problem of rail and bus competition was made public yesterday by Recov ery Administrator Hugh S.

SUPREME COURT HOLDS STATE HAS POWER TO TAX AN INDUSTRY OUT OF EXISTENCE Decision Believed to Show Possible Attitude Toward Processing Taxes Imposed Under the Recovery Program; Interstate Commission Rate Making Powers Not Curtailed /is By JOHN A. REICHMANN United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, April 3. (UP) The power of a state to tax in dustries out of existence received the endorsement of the supreme court yesterday when it upheld the validity of a Washington state tax of 15 cents per pound on oleomargarine. The opinion was written by Justice George Sutherland, con servative leader of the bench and was concurred in by all the rest of the court. In effect, the opin ion ruled that courts have no power to question the validity of a tax so long as its wording makes it essentially a taxing statute. The decision was considered im portant because of its possible indication of the court's attitude toward processing taxes imposed under the recovery program on one farm product to prevent un fair competition with another. The case was brought by A. Magnano and company, which charged that its $20,000 annual business was taxed out of exist ence, not for the purpose of rais ing revenue for the state, but to protect the state's dairy farmers from the competition of oleo margarine. „ The opinion was one of 17 handed down by the tribunal. The right of the federal gov ernment to impose its $2 a gal lon internal revenue tax on liquors sold throyeh the Ohio state dispensary system, is in volved in a ruling which may be handed down this term.
