.UPHOLDS THE TAX
ON TRADE COUPONS
U. S. Supreme Court Decides
as to Premium System in
Merchandise Sales.

The United States Supreme Court yes
terday afternoon held that states have the
power to tax trade coupons redeemable il
premiums. II is estimated that SEQ
oOO, 900 of merchandise is sold annual!
in this way
The court upheld the constitutionallt!
of laws in Florida and Washington i'm
posing such taxes. and dismissed the ap'
peal of +. S. Pitney of Seattle, Wash
convicted of violating the Washington
trading stamp law, in that he as mana
ger and agent of the United Cigar Stores
Company in connection with sale to q
customer gave trading stamp or coupon
The courts decision was delivered by
Justice Mckenna and was based largely
on the Florida statute. with the comment
that the validity of the Washington law
was established on the same principles.
Explains the Statute.
Justice Mckenna pointed out that
the statute was directed toward "cou-
pons redeemable in premiums and
therefore that in its decision the court
expressly reserved any opinion as to
the constitutionality of law aimed at
the redemption by the giving of a dis
count OF an allowance of credit on ac-
count. He said the schemes at which
the law was aimed were all based on
local sales. and upon local sales the
license tax provided for in the law was
imposed. This took the transaction out
of the protection of the interstate COM
merce law, he said.
In considering whether the law inter-
fered with the business liberty of mer-
chants, Justice Mckenna paid his re-
spects to the large number of courts
which had held such laws to be an IL
legal meddling with lawful calling
and a deprivation of freedom of con-
tract He spoke of decisions holding
such premium systems to be mere
methods of discount, and concluded
that with this difference of opinion in
the courts a legislature which acted
on the subject matter would not be
held to have acted arbitrarily-in which
case only the Supreme Court could an
null the statute.
