.ANTI-CIGARETLAW
COnStitutionality To Be Tested
in Supreme Court.
Earl A. NOssaman, an Anthony
Druggist, Brings Suit. Z
SAYS. NO RIGHT TO PUT BAN ON,
Is Subject to Payment of s25 to
i 800 Fine.
Probable Decision Will Be
Reached In November.

Constitutionality of the Kansas anti
cigaret law was attacked in the su-
preme court today in an appeal pre-
sented from the Harper county dis
trict court The Edwards act was at
tackled by Earl A. Nossaman, an An
thony druggist. convicted on eight
counts for sale OF coffin nails
Denies Right of Ban.
Eossaman's defense under the law
admits the right of the state to pro-
hibit the sale of tobacco. But it de-
mics to the Legislature the -constitu-
tional power to put ban on tobacco
sold in one form and to permit the
sale % similar tobacco in another
form. The law in is present form is
declared in Nossaman's brief to be un
constitutional.
M When Nossaman was arrested the
presiding judge overruled u motion to
guash the information. a jury then
found the defendant guilty. His APP
peal IS directed at the constitutiopality
'aof the Kansas Legislative enactn1snt of
1907. Under the verdict fixing his
guilt. Nossman is subject TO payment
70 a fine Of $25 to s100 on each of
the eight counts.
/. Is probable that the supreme
court will hand down a decision in the
ease IN November This is the first
direct attack on the constilutionality of
the anti-ciGaret law since it's passage
nearly II years ago. Should the su-
preme count declare the act invalid
there il a feeling in the state house
that anti ciGaret advocates may go
before the next Legislature with bill
asking that all tobacco be put under
the ban.
e Vernon Day, county attorney of
Harper county, appeared for the state
in defense of the ciSarct law
NossamaR's Attack.
Nossaman in his brief attacks the
constitutionality of the law and points
to defects in these terms: 1904
1T will be observed that this statute
is not aimed against the use of to-
llcco generally. and no provision is
lLa~c against the use of tobacco in its
various forms except that particular
form designated as cigarets; and
against the sale of the innocent paper
that can be used for the manufacture
- ciSarots.
we do not contend that the Iegisla-
brcco altogether under the states po-
Ice power, if it saw fit to do so; and
be ..uVcd that 1t was detrimental to
public health to permit the use and
sale of tobacco within the state. But
We do contend that the legislature
HAS no right to arbitrarily prescribe
that the sale of tobacco, put, up an a
certain form shall be prohibited, while
permitting the sale of the same to-
bacco in all other forms. Nor do we
contend that tho legislature cannot
mal-d. reasonable classification either
as to business persons and property,
Lut ouch classification must be natur-
ally based upon some rational reason
TO effect the purpose of the legislation
contemplated"
