ACT Is DECLARED VALID
~ Court In Reversing Judgment Of
Circuit Court.

Frankfort, Ky.-The webb-Kenyon
act was declared valid by the Court
OF Appeals in reversing the judgment
OF the Laurel Circuit Court in the case
Of the Adams Express Co. against the
Commonwealth. A new trial OF the
case was ordered. The Adams Ex-
press Co. had been fined SIS for bring
Ing into and delivering whisky in To-
cal option territory.
The court said that the Constitution
of the United States gives Congress
the right to regulate interstate COM
msrce, and to decide what commerce
10 legitimate. The reason for giving
Congress this right, the court said,
was to protect legitimate interstate
commerce from regulations made In
each state In the interest of that state,
rather than in the interest Of the peo-
pie Of the United States as a whole.
The control and sale of narcotics
and intoxicants has always been re-
gsrdsd within the police power Of the
state, and the court says the trainers
Of the Constitution had no intention
Of taking away from the people of the
state police power.
The court says that under the
Wsbb-Kenyon bill the interstate ship
ment OF legitimate commerce is not
forbidden unless 1t was intended to be
used in violation OF the laws of the
state. In previous opinion the court
says II has held that Congress alone
can ascertain what is legitimate com.
merce.
