The decision Of the court OF appeals
does not pass on. but merely touches
upon. the right Of the State to en-
gage in business, particularly the
whiskey business. The decision says
that in the ''conception and adoption
of the 18th amendment it never en-
tered the mind of the trainers Of the
constitution that a sovereign State
would engage i'll a buSineS as liquor
dealer. and become a trader by buy
ing and, >ellin" an article Of common
traffic in competition with the citi-
zens Of the country,' Lat the court
goes on to say that to pass on this
point "is not necessary to the dispo-
sition of the case, and then we have
no authority in point to guide us.
However, it will be recalled that in
the celebrated Vandercook case, the
"original package case" has ,upreme
c.lrl Of the United STATE; sustained
the supreme court of South Carolina,
and differed from the opinion Of
Federal Judge Simonton, and held
that the State Of South Carolina in
the exercise Of its police powers had
the constitutional right to monopolize
the whiskey business. and in fact the
court Of appeals in the Fleischmann
decision is in error perhaps when it
refers to the traffic in whiskev as
buying and selling Gan article Of
common traffic." for the courts have
held time and again that the traffic
in whiskey is different from the traf-
fic in articles or ordinary commerce,
and that in the exercise Of its police
powers the State has the right to
prohibit that trafice altogether.
The point is also raised that if the
State in its sovereign capacity could
not engage in the liquor business,
then it could have been sued for the
claims against the State dispensary
and that, furthermore, since the coun-
tv dispensaries are run in the name
of the State, the State can be sued
for the claims against them. How
ever, the liability of the State in re-
spect to the county dispensaries is
expressly limited by the act under
which the contracts of the county dis
pensaries are made. In Section 6 Of
the Carey-Cothran act it is stated:
FThe members Of the said county
board are hereby declared to be coun-
ty officers. and are hereby authoriz-
ed and empowered, under the authori-
ty and in the name Of this State, to
buy in any market and retail within
the State liquors and beverages, etc,
but it is provided that ''the State
shall not be liable upon any contract
for the purhase thereof beyond the
actual assets Of the dispensary for
which the purchase is made.'
