practically indentical with those in
the case at bar In that case, as
in this case, it was contended that
Nelson, Morris & Co., did not slaugh-
ter, dress, cure, pack, or manufac-
ture the products of animals for food
anywhere within the State of Georgia,
and that, therefore, the firm was not
doing packing-house business with
in the State. 1t was also contended
that the statute violated the COM
merce clause of the Constitution of
the United States, and that it was
invalid in that it denied to the petit
TONER the equal protection of the laws.
The Supreme Court, in reviewing that
decision with reference to the cues
ton of interstate commerce, said:
1T was admitted by the Supreme
Court of Georgia in its opinion, and
by both parties hereto, that a tax upon
the seller of goods is a tax upon the
goods themselves; and that a tax
upon goods sold in another State. de-
livered to common carrier and con-
signed to the purchaser in the State
of Georgia, was an illegal interfer-
ence with interstate commerce. 1t
was therefore held that the tax, so
far as applied to meats sold in Chi
cago and shipped to the petitioner
in Georgia was engaged in the bust
ness of selling directly to customers
in Atlanta, he was engaged in car
rying on an independent business as
a wholesale dealer, and was liable to
the tax. This decision was cor
rect"

by Chief Justice Fuller, on similar
case, as follows:
Whether the statutes of a legiSla-

not a Federal question, and the decis-

Wyman from going to State Prison. where he

though the case will be appealed Wyman is
sure to serve five years in the penitentiary for
his offence. Two other men were indicted for
the same crime on the same day. and their cases
will be pressed. The Merchants Association
