UPHOLDS CIGARETTE TAX Iowa Sup rame Conr: Eelivtrg Sweeping Knockout to Tobacco Tnnt, GIVES THE YOUNG DOCTORS A CHANCE Richard I. t'l-rkson Takes Posses sion of Pension Office Snperla tendent Hnrrrtt visits Coun try Krhonla. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES. Feb. 2. (Special.) The most emphatic declarations of the views ot the Iowa supreme bench on the question cf the "original parkagc" aubtertuge, b5 which tlgart'tte dealers. In common with others, have sought to evade state laws, were given In an important decision ren dered by the court today, sustaining In every way the Iowa law which Imposes a mulct tax of $300 a year on all dealers In cigarettes. The opinion, written by Jus tice Weaver, sustains Judge Burnham in the Marshall county case, and reviews at length the dedslons covering similar ques tions. There were three points at which the law was attacked by the American Tobacco company and not one was found good. The derision clearly Indicates that the tobacco people have little to hope on their second test case from Muscatine county, not yet submitted. Justice Weaver said the claim of Im munity under the "original package" law Is based on the t'nlted States court's de cision In Leiay apalnet Hardin, and 'the real question la whether or not ten cigar ettes In a small box constitute an original package la the meaning of. the law. "As an original proposition," says the court, "submitted to comnionsense, aided by a conscience of average enlightenment and uncomplicated by precedent there would seem ta be no' room for doubt that thla question should be answered in the nega tive. It must he, admitted, however, that authorities are not wanting affording th9 appellants some gronnd to believe that any scheme or device no matter how transparent the fraud Is sufficient to bafflo the power of a sovereign state so long as It bears the magic legend 'original package.' This theory has been founded upon what has been supposed to be the holding of the court of last resort In the cases already re ferred to; but as we view It these decisions do not justify the deductions made." "Original Packages" a Hnbterfusre. Reverting to the first case in which "orig inal packages" nre mentioned, that of Brown asnlnst Maryland by Marshall, the court says: "In this, sb In some othr notable In stances, the principle then announced has been so distorted and wrested from Its original simple meaning that If the great jurist were permitted to return to the scope of his historic labors he would doubt less hesitate long before acknowledging the legitimacy of the descent of the modern doctrine." The court concludes by virtually declar ing the effort to evade Iowa lawa by tho "original package" route to be a fraud, and upholds the law, declaring that the small packages containing ten cigarettes each are not original paikagea at all. On the other grounds the law la also upheld that It was properly passed ane that It la uniform in its application, o . ' Land Fraud Tate Decided. Another important case decided by the court today was that of Russ against Han sen, from Kossuth county. Russ lived in Chicago and loaned money through C. L. Lund of Algona. The latter squandered money and secured heavy loans on forged notes and mortgages and carried them for year. Finally when confronted with a war rant for his arrest he fell dead. Investiga tion showed he had been carrying on frauds for years. In the case decided today It was held that Lund was ln fact agent for Russ, and the sale of a tract of land was bona fide and Rues cannot secure the re turn of the conveyance. This means a loss of about $100,000 to Russ on similar cases In the Lund failure. t Court's lleclslona. The following were the decisions of the court today: A. 8. Jewell, appellant, against J. L.
