tion of the state agricultural law. The
commission was defeated in the lower
court. The case was then appealed to
the supreme court whore a verdict has
been rendered for the defendant upon
the ground of the unconstitutionality of
: he state law. The following is in part
; he opinion of the court :
"It is not within the power of the leg
islature , under the pretence of exorcising
; he police power of the state , to enact
aws not necessary to the preservation
f the health and safety of the com
munity or to prevent fraud upon the
people and which will destroy properly
or be oppressive and a hindrance to the
citizens of the state. Personal liberty
cannot bo interfered with any more thnu
the property of the citizen can bo
destroyed in this way. "
The decision of the Now York court
affects other industries as well as the
manufacture of
Other Industries. butter preserva
tives. It estab
lishes the unconstitutionally of the pro
vision of the agricultural law relative to
the manufacture and sale of oleomar
garine. This decision is good law and
in accord with generally recognized
principles of justice. It is to be hoped
that it will be a precedent for other
states and for the supreme court of the
United States if congress should ever
pass an act like the Grout bill which
places a tax of ten cents per pound upon'
