If the House committee has found no
ground for the impeachment of Judge Jen-

press an official opinion upon his conduct.

says:
No State can levy a tax on interstate
commerce in any form, whether by way OF
duties laid upon the transportation of the
subjects of that IN or on the re-

on the occupation or business Of carrying

Such a decision would not have been
made by the Supreme Court before the war,

said to be regarded as paramount, an no

its own, but it cannot tax citizens of other
States who solicit orders within it's juris-
