with Judge Evans. The signatures
Of the three judges were affixed to
the opinion and decree.
Rules Tax Prohibitiye
The purport Of the opinion was
that the tax of so cents a gallon,
fixed under the Vance bill, which
became an act March 12, 1920, was
unconstitutional as a whole. The
penalties, 1t was held, were much
too severe, so much so as to be op-
pressive, and to make the tax pro-
hibitive. Also, II was held that the
tax was not on a business, but mere
ly on the owning, holding and re-
moval of whisky which it was indi-
Gated was not subject to an excise
tax.
The case decided today involves
only 5000 gallons of whisky, but a
paragraph Of the decree of the court
was that the same ruling shall ap-
ply to any other such action insti-
tuted, in which event the cases shall
be consolidated, if considered by the
court.
Quoting from an opinion by Chief
Justice Marshall, it was pointed out
that tax levied on an article for
sale only is a tax on the article it.
