The Chicago ice companies won in their
fight against the law passed by the last
Legislature imposing Il tax of 10 cents a
ton on all ice shipped out Of the State,
the Supreme Court declaring the law to
be unconstitutional. The suit ,ras
brought by the Knickcrbocker Company.
whose agent. Henry Rossmiller. shipped
ice from Racine without obtaining a Ii
cense. and was arrested and convicted.
This verdict IS annuled by the Supreme
Court on the ground that the law IS in
valid, and Rossmiller's discharge is or
dered. The law was based on the theory
that the State owned the ice, and this
theory was approved by Governor La
Toilette in a memorandum which he at
tached to the law in giving it his APP
proyal. But this view is held by the SUI
preme Court to be erroneous.
