Is UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
So Court Decides Concerning Tax
on Pe,lfiler>.

Holding that the act of the last legislature taxing peddlers of bug gies, stoves lightning rods. pumps and clocks s200 year. is discrim- inatory, Chancellor Martineau yes terday declared the act unconstitu- tional and allowed a writ of hab- eas corpus to an agent Of the Spaulding Manufacturing Company of Grinnetl la. who had been con victed at Batesville and fined for vio- lation of the act The chancellor held the effect of the law would be to cut competition from the local markets While thu legislature might have the right to pass rey- enue-raising law effecting peddlers. Chancellor Martineau held it does not possess the right to tax the sale ot certain things unless these things come under police regulation The articles named in the law do not come within police regulation. he said
 The law would affect any travel ing man or salesman selling the ar tieles and demanding as it does license of $2o0 for each county 1t practically prevents their entering the market
 The decision of the court applies only to the case in hand and may not prevent further arrests and con yictions, but before it k carried out stringently the Supreme Court will probably have to pass upon it's con stitutionality
