Barriers Raised to Push Own Products, With Retaliation Resulting BACKGROUND— Debate rages in the United States today over the question of barriers to trade established by many States. The issue is re- garded as potentially one of the most important economic ques- tions of the day. The following article is the first of a series from key centers of the Nation dealing with the situation. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, April 18.—Fences built of words are halting trade among the States of the Middle West. They are the laws called inter- state trade barriers, and Frank Bain, executive director of the Council of " | State Governments, reports they have risen to “ominous proportions” in the United States. He referred to statutes like those of Illinois, Indiana and Michigan which specify that State institutions "llfllHIIIIIIIIIIIII|IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlIIllIIIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIII|Ill|ll|IIIII|IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIlIIIIIIlIllulg J.

Or those of Minnesota and Iowa, where home-grown barley crops are protected by provisions requiring that all malt beverages sold in the States must contain 663 per cent barley malt. Or the Wisconsin tax on marga- rine competing with butter produced by Wisconsin dairymen. Counterpart of Tariff Wall. “Hundreds of trade barriers are today obstructing the free flow of commerce among the States,” Mr. Bain said. “A trade barrier is the counterpart on the national scene of & tariff wall in international trade. “It is a statute, regulation or practice which operates or tends to operate to the disadvantage of persons, products or commodities coming from sister States, to the advantage of local residents or in- dustries.” Iowa furnished an example of what he meant when, on April 1, State authorities attached a car- load of kitchen ranges at Humboldt in a drive to force a St. Louis, Mo,, company to obtain & license to do business in Iowa. A, H. Martin, jr., executive direc- tor of the W. P. A.'s marketing laws survey, furnished other examples when he reported on trade barriers to the Temporary National Eco- nomic Committee at Washington several weeks ago. States Sometimes Hit Back. “Retaliation sometimes results from the imposition of requirements that States, when acting as pur- chasers, must give preference to local residents and ilocal products,” he, said. “Wisconsin, in 1928, prohibited all departments from furnishing any plans for the erection of public buildings to the various building ex- changes in Minnesota until Minne- sota repealed all of its laws discrim- inating against the materials and labor of Wisconsin. In 1933 Min- nesota repealed such preference laws.” Mr. Martin's report, the result of STEAKS 43¢ GIANT PHILADELPHIA CAPONS . 3 5c QROCERIES — MEATS .

Among Middle Western examples of trade barriers he cited: A Michigan statute taxing wine made from home-grown grapes or fruit at 4 cents a gallon, while a tax of 50 cents a gallon 1s imposed FRESHEN UP YOUR HOME!

A Minnesota law forbidding the importation of any ice cream prod- ucts unless they are registered and the manufacturer is licensed by the State Department of Agriculture. Liquor Permits Restricted. Regulations in Wisconsin and Ohio which grant liquor licenses only to persons who have resided in the States for a specified number of years. An Indiana law specifically pre- ferring Indiana limestone for pub- lic construction work. Mr. Martin and the research staff at the Council of State Govern- ments here have found that inter- state trade barriers fall within these categories; Liquor, motor vehicles, itinerant trucker, ports of entry, margarines, dairy products, live- stock, poultry and general foods, nursery stock, use taxes, and general preference for State products and labor. “The effect on interstate com- merce cannot be measured accurately in dollars and cents,” Mr. Bain said. “But it can be established that interstate trade barriers have a decidedly restrictive influence. Matter of Grave Concern. “One trade barrier is of little im- portance to the national economy, but 1,000 are a matter of grave concern. Of most significance, therefore, are their cumulative as- pects, particularly when we find that a trade barrier, if successtul in protecting a local market, may first suggest itself for adoption by other States, and secondly, lead to retal- fation by affected States.” Michigan has such a law of forth- right retaliation, Mr. Martin’s sur- vey showed. It empowers the State Liquor Commission to establish an embargo against the beer of any State levying a discriminatory tax against Michigan-produced beer. Mr. Martin said Michigan was only one of eight States which had en- acted retaliatory legislation against beverages from other States.
