An act Of the legislature in 1884
made it illegal for an express COM
pany. common carrier, or a person
to Convey or transport liquor to any
person in Iowa who did not have a
permit to sell liquor. After it's pass
age this act was declared invalid by
the supreme court insofar as it af-
fected interstate shipments of liquors,
because It was an interference with
commerce.
:. Under this decision and. the mulct
sty-f1fth general assembly, the act OF
1884 had no practical effect because of
the larger number OF persons who held
permits to sell liquor and on account of
the interstate character of most Of the

with the repeal OF the mulct law in
1915, the chief instrument for the en-
forcement OF the liquor laws Of iowa
became this smusty old statute of 1884.
The question involved in determin-
ing whether Iowa shall be absolutely

ton OF the act Of 1884. If it is de-
clded under that act that person can

himself then Iowa will be absolutely
