THE HOUSE ORIGINAL PACKAGE BILL
IT WILL APPLY IL ALL ARTICLES OF INTER
STATE COMMERCE.

Washington. June 27.-Mr. Reed, of Iowa, has pro
pared on behalf Of the judiciary Committee OF mo
House a report the bill agreed upon by thc com
mt,ce as substitute for the Senate Original Package
bill The report first points out the nferchccs pe-
tween the two bils-thc Senate bill being applicable
70 a single subject Of commerce. viz. Intoxicating
liquors. and the House bill being applicable 10 all
articles of commerce. The report theh reic's
TO the recent decision OF the United states
supreme Court to the effect that state III ''o
absence OF direct Congressional authority coo NOT
interfere to prohibit the selling IN the original pack
ages Of articles imported into the State. The report
savs that in the opinion Of the committee all properly
which has been imported into a state and kept for
sale there ought to be subject for all purposes to the
Jurisdiction Of The state, and all persons VINO "ouid
engage in traffic within state ought to be subject
TO such rules It may enact for the regulation oil
that tsic. Tie states are the proper Judges oi INC
needs Of their own citizens and they ought 10 be free
TO enact ard enforce such laws as they may deem best
adaped TO their situation and best calculated TO en-
nance the prosperity ard happiness Of their people.
and when the NONRESIDENT imports his wares INTO the
state and then engages in traffic therein II Is but
in, that he should subjected 10 the same restrictions
that govern the citizen Of the state VINO would engage
in A like traffic. And this would be the effect 81
the senate bill If amended as recommended by tho
committee.
II would in no manner interfere with the right OF the
citizen of state to purchase abroad any
article OF commerce which he might desire for his
and have the same Transported ana delivered
10 him at his place Of residence. The States would
have no power to prevent the importation Of any
article OF commerce. nor 10 obstrct the transportation
of commerce through their territories except In the
necessary enforcement Of their health laws Its only
effect would be 70 subject such property as may be
imported into the and there held or offered for
sale to the laws Of tine state. The power OF Congress to
enact law of this character can hardly be doubted
The committee believes It would be much wiser to
enact general law applicable % all articles of com
mcrce than meet The exigency with reference to
particular articles would be the policy If the senate
bill should be enacted.
Representative Reed author of the report Judge
Of The Supreme Court Of Iowa at the time the original
pacsagc case was considered there, and II was his
