Supreme Court Restraints the
State Tax Commissioners
in That Respect.
ESPECIAL TO 74a TzLEaaam,

CHARLESTON, Mar 25.-By a de-
cision of Judge Poffenbarger of the
state supreme court, the State Tax
Commission is restrained from collect
ing a tax from merchandise brokers,
on the ground that such a brokerage
business is an instrumentality of in
terstate commerce and a state tax
thereon would be tantamount to a
state tax upon Interstate commerce or
state regulation thereof which is for
hidden by the commerce clause of the
federal constitution
no dissenting opinion was filed by
any of the judges. The case was that
of Roy Pennywit vs., Blue, state tax
commissioner. The case was tried in
the Kanawha circuit court and the tax
commissioner sustained. In its opinion
the supreme court reversed the Kan
awha circuit court and entered de-
cree for the plaintiff.
"A merchandise broker, residing and
maintaining an Office in this state, in
which he keeps samples of merchan-
, disc for use in his business, but no
goods for sale, representing only nom
resident clients, negotiating no sales
or other transactions between resi-
dents of this state or of goods in this
state at the time, and holding no Ii
cense from this state as a merchandise
broker, voluntarily obtained, is not
subject to the license tax imposed, by
Section 90, of Chapter 50 of the Code.

Little Rock, Dec. 4.-C. F. Evans, 3622 Cooke Avenue, St. Louis, has written Commissioner of Agriculture John H. Page, asking him for the name of some one who has 10000 acres of upland for sale. The writer states that a number of his friends desire to move to Arkansas, having made trip to the state, and being much pleased with what they saw. The St. Louisans desire to colonize a cut over tract, and follow diversified farming. MT.
