I M*RCAaNT8 LOSE INT Tiom:* Mu?t Affll Stamp* When Carton 1h Flfft Broken. Columbia, Jan. 26. ? -South Carolina merchants today loat their fight against the tax commiaaion'a require ment that revenue a^amps be affixed to articlea subject to the tax aa aoon aa the Original carton or other con- ] tainer is broken. In an opinion written by Acting Aaaociate Juatice J. H. Marion, the Supreme Court dismisaed the tempo- 1 rary restraining order it had iaaued ! againat the tax commission, append ing the operation of the conteated . ruling and denied the petition brought by K. L. Wingfteld, Columbia drug giat, and otheray asking that the order be made permanent. ? The court held that the Legislature had given the tax commiaaion full au thority to make the ruling in ques tion, and that while it did not mini mise the c$ntentiona of the petitionera that the regulation worked some hardships upon them, it waa of the opinion that the' affixing of the stamps on each paokage just before it was sold would necessitate a ays tem of checking that would ?e more diaagreeable and an even greater hardship than is now suffered. The merchants contended that they would be complying 1 with the law if the taxable articles were not stamped' until just before they were delivered tto purchasers and set up the plea that the requirement of stamping all articles as soon as taken out of the original package forced them to tie up their money in stamps and that when stamped articles remained un aold, they, lost the amount of tax.
