DECISION REVERSED.
U. S. Supreme Court Decides that
Mail Order Business Is Inter-
State Commerce
State Commerce.

The United States Supreme Court
| has recently rendered a decision in
| Yolving a question of interstate COM
merce which is of local interest It
was in the case of International
Textbook Company V. Council r.
Lynch of St. Johnsbury, and in
which G. c.. Frye. Esq, was attor-
ney for the Textbook Company and
Howe & Hovey attorneys for Mr..
Lynch.
Suit was brought by the Text
book Company, which controls the
international Correspondence schools
of Scranton, Pa, on a contract in
which the plaintiff agreed to furnish
lessons and instruction by CORES
pondenee and for which the defend
ant refused to pay. The plaintiff
was given judgment in Caledonia
county court and the defendant took
the case up to the Vermont supreme
court on the question whether the
plaintiff had a right to bring and
maintain an action in this state on
the contract, as it had not paid
corporation license tax to do bust
ness in the state, which the laws of
Vermont provide shall be done before
a foreign corporation can do business
here or maintain an action brought
in Connection with such business.
The plaintiff commended that the
business of the plaintiff in sending
instruction and lessons through the
mails from Scranton to St. Johns
bury was interstate commerce and
that the laws of Vermont compelling
a license tax to be paid before it
could do business here laid an in
direct tax on such business and was
therefore unconstitutional, as the
United States only had the power
through Congress to regulate inter
state commerce and to make laws
concerning it.
The Vermont Supreme Court held
that the business of the plaintiff as
conducted through the mails was not
interstate commerce, and as the
plaintiff had not paid the license
tax it could not maintain the suit
brought.
Thecase was then taken by the
plaintiff on writ of error to the United
States Supreme Court, and the de-
cision there rendered reverses that
of the Vermont Supreme Court and
holds theVermont law is unconstitu-
tional as applied to the business of
the plaintiff as such business is in
terstate commerce, that the license
tax does not have to be paid, and
that the plaintiff can maintain it's
action.
This is the first time the question
has ever been raised or decided
whether such business conducted
through the mails is interstate COM
merce or not, and the decision af
fects all mail order and other bust
ness so conducted.
1t is also of much Importance to
the Textbook Company, as other
states have laws similar to Vermont
compelling foreign corporations do
ing business in such states to first
pay a license tax, and the company
will save a large amount annually
by not having to pay such tax.

Y. N. C. A. Night
School.

The local Z. M. G. A in its four
fold work for men and boys desires
to assist along educational lines
All young men and boys or st. johns
bury, and vicinity who are not in day
school, and who feel the need Of bet
ter training if they are to succeed
in their life work, are invited to
talk with the General Secretary OF
the Y. NJ. G. A. Following are a few
of the courses that the Association
can conduct this season, providing a
fair enrolment is assured in adj
vance. Prospective students must en-
roll this month.
Boys Preparatory, consisting of
Arithmetic, English, Penmanship,
Correspondence, Geography, His
tory and Government
Commercial and Business Subjects,
consisting of; Penmanship, Business
Correspondence, Bookkeeping, and
Stenography.
Other Subjects, such as: First aid
to the injured, Personal Hygiene
and French
If you are not interested in any
of these courses, just let the Asso-
citation know what you are interested
in. The Y. M. G. A. is here to serve,
and it will supply your need if
possible.
Do you know that a grammar
school education increases boys or
a mans earning capacity by so per
cent, that high school education
adds 100 per cent. to his earning
power, and college education 200
per cent.
Each school day well put in is
worth $40 to boy in the course of
his life. Government statistics

school educated man, 1000

To get this requires twelve years of school

$22. 900 divided by 2,1eo days gives a quo

If most boys knew this in time
there would be fewer men who are
struggling along, trying to get
ahead but handicapped by lack of
education. The Young Mems
Christian Association wants to do
its share in meeting such needs.
Lack of schooling and education
draws that dead line between fail
ure and success.
Most every young man if he lacks
the education that he needs, dis
covers it sooner or later. He sees
other fellows forge ahead of him.

stays pegging away at the same old
