(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.
