BILE in the common pleas court has
handed down a decision which inn
peaches the constitutionality of the
ohio statute making it unlawful
to sell convict-made goods manu-
featured in the prisons of other
states without first obtaining
license from the secretary of state
of Ohio. Judge Noble held that the
constitution of the United States re-
posed all power to regulate interstate
commerce in congress, and that any
state law which interfered in inter-
state commerce was unconstitutional.
The law compelling the sale of goods
made in another state to he licensed,
while goods made in Ohio were uU-
burdencd, was a discrimination, the
count held, unconstitutional.
