Gold Makes Attack
Upon Anti-Gift Law
in Federal Court
Merchant of Lincoln Alleges that Act
is in Nature of Glass Legis-
lation.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)


LINCOLN, June ESPECIAL. )-Applying
for an injunction against the enforcement
Of the Housch anti-free gift enterprise
measure passed at the late session Of the
legislature, William Gold of this city to-
day made the first attack on an enact
ment of the 1911 session. in the federal
court here. The assault on the meas
ure comes from Gold because of its in
clusion Of trading stamps in the list OF en-
terprises prohibited for the gain of trade.
The provision OF the new law states that
ANY gift promise, stated or implied TO
give or bestow or in any other manner to
hold out the promise OF a gift or bestowai
OF any article or thing for or in con-
sideration of the purchase by any persons
Of any article or thing"
Gold recites in his that he entered con-
tract with sperry and Hutchinson Of New
Jersey for the installation of their adver-
Using system in his store and that he paid
them for the use of their scheme so much
per thousand stamps. The complainant
charges that the bill was enacted because
Of the support OF other merchants who did
not favor the use of the trade attraction
scheme by their rivals. Further he says
that 1t is class legislation and that many
people through the fear of accepting the
stamps since the passage of the Housch
bill have ceased to take them and that
thereby he has lost trade, all OF which
he contends Is in violation of the Four
teenth amendment to the federal consti-
tuition
