STIATIES MAY lIPOSE~ TiA X UPJON P'RODUCTS Action May hRe Taken Hlefore Such Products Enter Interstate Comn meceC Eiven Though Other States ,Are Large Consumers, Holds Una ited States Supreme Court. Washington, Nov. 27.-States may impose a tax upo~n products prodIuced within their borders before such produlcts enter initers5tate commerce eveni though other states are large coinsumers of suchl producits anid doi nolt pioduce them, the supreme courb held today. The deeision was handed down in a case challengin'g the constitution ality o fthe tax. imposed by Pennsyl vania upon anthracite coal, and was rendered by Justice McKenna, go dis sents being- noted. The importance of the decesion was emphasized by New York, New Jer sey, elaware and the New England states in denouncing the tax as giv ing Pennsylvania a monopoly, and as levying a tribute upon those states which do not produce but must have anthracite as fuel. Two questions were presented, one whether Pennsylvania in taxing, an thracite and not bituminous coal had not illegally discriminated in its clas sification, and the other. whether it was not a tax upon interstate com nierce. It was contefided by those opposing the ti.k that, if sustained by the suipweme court wheat and corn prodpcl'ng states could tax such grains, the Southern states cotton, and.'inanufacturing states could im pose a tax on manufactured products. The tax in question, while compara tively a new method among states for raising revenues, apparently is grow ing in popularity and there is now pending in the supreme court a case involving an attack nuon the tax im posed by Minnesota upon iron ore mined within its borders. Sustained by State Courta The Pensylvania case was brought by ,Roland C. Heisler against the Thomas Colliery company and others and officers of the state. The law which was attacked was passed in 1921 and sustained by the state courts after two laws previously passed and substantially the same is all essen tial features had been declared by those courts unconstitutional. Regarding the contention that an thracite and bituminous coal are fuels and necessarily, therefore, must be associated in the same class for tax ation, and that not to so associate them was arbitrary and unreasonable, creating inequality which rendered the tax invalid, Justice McKenna after describing the respective uses of the two fuels, declared that 'it is competent for a state to exempt cer tain kinds of property and tax others, the restraint" upon it only being against particular persons and classes." Discriminati'ns merely are not in hibited, for it was recognized that there are "discriminations which the best interest of society requires." The differences between anthracite and bituminous coal the court found to be so great as to be "a jus; basis for their 'Ilerent classifications." They differ ev'ei :.3 "fuels," it assert ed, and they differ fundamentally in other particulars, Hence, following this line of reasoning it held that the state could impose a tax upon ant'-ra cite which would be valid alth iugh bituminous was tax free. Importance as Fuel Emphasis given to the importance of anthracite as a fuel in those states which attacked the law was reviewed by the court, which pointed out that it some of them municipal laws and ordi uances forbade the use of other coal for dlomestic purposes. It was also pointed out that 80 per cent. of the total anthracite production of Pensyl vania was shipped outside that state. Wrhetheri any state lawv or action in fringes upon interstate commerce, Jus tice l~cKenna declared, dlependis upon the law or action and not upon what may be said as to the motive for it. "A tax upon articles in one state. that are destined for use in another state," he said, "can not be called a regulation of interstate cornmerce whether imposed in the certainty of a return from a monopoly existing, or in the dloub~t and hances because of completition. The action of the state as a regulation of interstate commerce does5 not dependl upon the degree of interference; it is illegal in any de gree." The court discussed at length the qjuestioni whether the produ -ts of a state that have, or are' destinled to have a, mariket in other states, are sub jeste of interstate commerce, though they have not moved from the place of their produiction or preparation. If the possibility or certainty that an article produced in one state was (lea tined for markets in another deter mined it to be interstate commerce be fore the beginning of its movement from the state, the court said, it wvould seem to follow that it is in such emiherce from the instant of its growth or production, and in the case of coal, as they lie in the ground. Such a ruling would, it added, nation alize all industries. oN THlIltI T~ItlM Los Angeles, Nov. 28.---The jury in the case of Arthur C. Bureh-tried here for the third timie for the murder of J1.
