AN 20. r." CASE
wl,ic:, interests Nearly All shippers to
south, Dakota.


A CASE involving Original packages
in phase different from tho we'll known
liquor cases was commenced at st. Paul
III the United States Circuit Court for
the eastern division of South Dakota.
IT. was the suit of t;riggs, Cooper n Co.
against the counties OF Alinnehaha.
Brown. and Codinglon, the cities of
Sioux Falls Aberdeen. and Watertown.
and against the officials OF those coun-
ties and cities.
The matter a. issue in the suit is the
validity of the assessment laws of the
state and the city orOinance levving u
tax on merchandise sent into the state
by the plaintiff firm The st. Paul
grocery firm has enjoyed large trade
i'll South Dakota in sugar. tea, coffee and
other staples. and was in the habit of
having tho merchandise shipped to that
state while in the original packages.
1t had several car loads of sugar, i'll 100
pound bags. consigned its agents in
the cities mentioned directly from the
rcncrics. The agents would then dis
packages, to the consumers of the firm.
Three carloads of sugar shipped to
Sioux Falls were seized on an assess
ment of S4S. "a taxes. Other carloads of
sugar were seized at Aberdeen and
Watertown. Tho total amount of the
taxes levied was small. but If the firm
is compelled to pay taxes on all of its
merchandise sent to South Dakota the
amount will seriously hamper its trade.
For this reason tho suit was COM
mcnccd, asking $1,000 damages from
the defendants, to thus test the valid
ity of the law under which the taxes
were levied. ~ temporary injunction
was granted by the court. restraining
tho selling Of other property until the
questions raised could be heard and de-
termineu.
