The railroad turned down the ship- ment because Moor had not paid a ginning tax of $49.335 required by the | Bankhead act. The planter went to court in an effort to force the rail- road to move his cotton, but the | Federal District Court dismissed his suit. The Fifth Circuit Court of Ap- peals afterward approved that action. In his appeal to the Supreme Court, Moor contended the act taxed the ginning of cotton produced in excess of a farmer’s quota, but did not tax all cotton. He argued also it was an unconstitutional encroachment on the powers of the States. | WISCONSIN U. LEADER | - W _ u “QUT TO GET SNELL o : LANSBURGH'S—FOURTH FLOOR— GIRLS' APPAREL.
