The Essentials of American Constitutional Law
Thorpe, Francis Newton
Constitutional law -- United States
[125] Art. i., 8: 1. Kentucky Railroad Tax Cases, 115 U. S., 321
(1885); Kelly _v._ Pittsburgh, 104 U. S., 78 (1881); French _v._ Barber
Asphalt Paving Co., 181 U. S., 324 (1901); Veazie Bank _v._ Fenne, 8
Wallace, 533 (1869); Corporation Tax Cases, 220 U. S., 611 (1911).
[126] South Carolina _v._ United States, 199 U. S., 437 (1905). The
State conducted dispensatories and derived profit from them. It was
held liable for internal revenue. The exercise by the State, as a
dispenser, was held not to exempt it from the operation of the law.
[127] Art. i., viii., 3.
[128] Brig Wilson _v._ U. S., 1 Brockenbrough, 437 (1820).
[129] See decision of the Supreme Court sustaining the “Webb-Kenyon”
Law decommercializing (interstate) intoxicating liquors, Clark
Distilling Company _v._ W. Md. R. R. Co.; _Id._ _v._ Am. Ex. Co. and
State of W. Va. (January 8, 1917).
The power of Congress to deal with the hours of work and wages of
employees engaged in interstate commerce is examined in Wilson _v._
New and Ferris, Receivers, Mo. Ok., & G. Railway Co., March 19, 1917.
(Constitutionality of the “Adamson” law.)
[130] Art. vi., 2.
[131] Marbury _v._ Madison, 1 Cranch, 177 (1803).
[132] McCulloch _v._ Maryland, 4 Wheaton, 430 (1819).
[133] Brown _v._ Maryland, 12 Wheaton, 419 (1827).
[134] Gibbons _v._ Ogden, 9 Wheaton, 1 (1824).
[135] Pensacola Telegraph Co. _v._ Western Union Telegraph Co., 96
U. S., 1 (1877).
[136] So in Gibbon _v._ Ogden, _supra_.
[137] Henderson _v._ Mayor of New York, 92 U. S., 259 (1875); L. S.
& M. S. Railway Co. _v._ Ohio, 173 U. S. (1899); Railroad Co. _v._
Husen, 95 U. S., 465 (1877); Brimmer _v._ Rebman, 138 U. S., 78 (1891);
Morgan’s S. S. Co. _v._ Louisiana Board of Health, 118 U. S., 455
(1886); Leisy _v._ Hardin, 135 U. S., 100 (1890); Schellenberger _v._
Pennsylvania, 171 U. S., 1 (1898).
[138] The trend of these respective lines is disclosed by the decisions
in the cases cited in this Chapter.
[139] Pensacola Telegraph Co. _v._ Western Union Telegraph Co., 96
U. S., 1 (1877). The important word here is “jurisdiction.” “To
bring the transportation within the control of the State, as part of
its domestic commerce, the subject transported must be within the
entire voyage under the exclusive jurisdiction of the State.” Hanley
_v._ Kansas City Southern Railroad Co., 187 U. S., 617 (1903). The
Immigration Law (February 20, 1897, amended March 26, 1910), contains
the protective features the State would demand through exercise of its
police power. So too the Federal Meat Inspection Act (March 4, 1907).
[140] _The Daniel Ball_, 10 Wallace, 557 (1870).
[141] Act of Congress, March 2, 1893.
