SWEEPING DECISION
INvALIDATES LAW
Judge Jones at vermillIon De-
cIares South Dakota License
Law Unconstitutional
HARDSHIP TO
Those in the Safe at Mercy Of Those
on outside-Case Against J.. Miller
G. Co. of Sioux
City.

Sioux Falls, S. d., April ia de-
slsion of sweeping Importance to the
state OF South Dakota was made oy
District Judge Jones OF this CITY AT
Vernililon, $. D., last Friday. when he
held unconstitutional the state law re-
uuiring a license from travelling liquor
statesmen.
The decision means that outside
agents can sell liquor in South Dakota
without paying n license, while sa-
looms must do so. IL the ruling is sus-
tanned by the supreme u IL Will
handicap saloons and put the selling OF
liauor in the hands OF nonresident
dealers.
The decision was made in the case
of the state against Lewis Dimsdale.
representative of /. Miller & Co, Sioux
civ liuuor dealers Dimsdale was ar
rested at Meckling, 5 D., last Decem-
her for soliciting orders without haY-
Ing paid the license.
What Law Provides.
Section 234S OF the South Dakota stat
utes provides that travelling statesmen
must pay a license of $500 In each coun-
Nv I'm which orders are taken. The law
was passed for the protection OF IL
censed saloons.
DImsdale was bound over to the dis
trict court In the preliminary hearing,
and his trial came on at Nermlllloh
Yesterday. Attorney A. l.. Fribourg
Of Sioux City appeared for the defense.
At the conclusion OF he testimony
Attorney Fribourg introduced q motion
IN advise the fury to find for the de-
PENDANT. upon the ground of the uncon-
s~titutionality of the law. Mr.. Fri
bourg pointed out that the law pro-
vided q tax upon interstate mmerc
which is in violation Of article ], sec
ton s of the federal constitution. Judge
Jones took the motion under advise
ment, and this morning sustained 1t,
thereby holding the law "unconstitu-
tional.
Gaffey UphoIds Law.
At Pierre, S. D., two days ago Judge
Gaffey Yves asked to determine the con-
s~titutionality of this same statute, in
the ease OF the State VS.. Delameter.
Judge Gaffey, however, sustained the
law, saying that If the law should be
invalidated, the state might as well re-
move all licenses for the sale of liquor,
as it would allow free peddling or
LIQUORS. Both cases will undoubtedly
he appealed to the state supreme court,
and may go to the supreme court OF the
limited States, as the federal Constitu-
ton Is involved.
Attorney Fribourg is of the opinion
that n law providing for the licensing
of statesmen of South k liquor
houses would be valid, for the reason
that 1t would be within the police
power of the state TO impose such a
tax. The United states supreme court
has several times held that the police
power of a state cannot be exercised in
violation of the provisions of the fed
Feral constitution. Sales by South Da-
kota liquor houses would not involve
Interstate commerce., therefore, In
MIR. Fribourg's opinion, might not come
under the rule of the United States SUI
preme court. Such a view of the law
would place South Dakota liquor men
at q distinct disadvantage.
