Dressed Reef Deei.iou.


The United States supreme court has de
cided in effect, that state cannot by in
direct methods prohibit the sale of meat
slaughtered in other states. The case came
from Virginia, where law was made pro-
viding that meat slaughtered more than 100
miles from the place of sale should not be
sold until inspected, and fixing a fee of one
cent pound for the inspection This law,
while nominally sanitary regulation, was
Of course in fact a prohibition of what is
known as Chicago dressed beef and was
intended for nothing else. suit was
brought to test the constitutionality of the
statute and the Federal circuit court decid-
ed against it, and this decision the supreme
court has just affirmed. The words of the
court are interesting and are reported
thus
The statute is, in effect, a prohibition
upon the sale in Virginia of beef, veal. or
mutton, although entirely wholesome, if it
ne the product of animals slaughtered 100
miles or more from the place of sale. 1t is.
III effect, a prohibition, because being re-
quired to pay the heavy charge of one cent
pound for inspection, persons outside the
state cannot compete upon equal terms in

the iphalI'f. tue Omerous nature Of the tax
imposed in the name of compensation to
the inspector, goes far beyond the purposes
Of legitimate inspection to determine the
quality and condition of meat from dis
lance, aud hv its necessary operation OBJ
structs the freedom of commerce among the
states. 1t is for all practical ends a statute
to prevent the citizens of distant states,
having for sale fresh meats from coming
into the competition upon terms of equality
with local dealers, and as such its repug-
nancy to the constitution is manifest
This decision seems to settle finally the
unconstitutonality of the meat inspection
laws passed in several states for the purpose
of excluding the western dressed beef-laws
which, it is claimed, were passed at the
instigation of local butchers and market
men, and not in the interests of the local
producers or consumers

TEXAS LEGISLATURE.

Sherman petitions senate for the To-
cation OF the North Texas normal
school and the agricultural cOllege,in
Grayson county.
Resolution for adjournment April
9th was sent to committee on rules.
Bill TO make term of railway COM
missioners years is referred to con-
stitutiOnal committee.
The local option in counties bill,
amending article 10 of the constitu-
ton, passed.
The medical bill was called :up,
the cast iron bill of Pope's being un-
der consideration.
Senator Lubbock's substitute the
moderate bill, acceptable to home
opothists, was declared,n mot in order.

The work of amending the bill. was
taken up and Stephens amendment
carried, which provides that In the
meaning of the bill legally qualified
practitioners are those who are reg
ular graduates and hold diploma
from some regularly chartered ''medi-
cal college in the United States.
Burney offered an amendment Civ
ing each school of medicine an equal
representation on the board; contend
ing that if the eclectic and homeo-
pathic schools were recognized at all
they should be so recognized in q fair
and equitable way. The amendments
was adopted and Pope deferred the
farther consideration of his bill.
In the house the senate amend
ments to the commission bill were
the order. The old caucus gang of SO
for an appointive committee held the
boards and would not compromise.
AS a result the senate amendments in
all important particulars have been
rejected, and there is very onerous
work before the committee. The diff
ferences between the two bodies are
ra dical and one body or the other
must give away.
Browning introduced bill with .
very long head and two whereas, fol-
lowed by 10 sections, for the proper
represen tatiOn of Texas at the Colon

airy is fixed at $4,000 and the others
unfixed; clerk at a salary of $1,000 q
