(Special.)—The most emphatic declarations of the views of the lowa supreme bench on the question of the “origital package” subterfuge, by which cigarctte dealers, In common with others, have sought to evade state laws, were given in an important decision ren- dered by the court teday, sustaining every way the lowa law which imposes a mulet tax of $300 a year on all dealérs in cigarettes. The opinfon, written by Jus- tico Weaver, sustains Judge Burnham in the Marshall county case, and reviews at length the decisions 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 decision clearly indicates that the tobacco people have little to hope on their Becond test case from Muscatine county, not yet cubmitted Justice ‘Weaver sald the claim of im- munity under the “original package" law is based on the United States court’s de cision in Leisy against Hardin, and®the real question 1s whether or not ten cigar- tes in a small box constitute an original package (in the meaning of the law. *'As an original propdsition,” says the court, “submitted to commonsense, aided by a conscience of average enlightenment and uncomplicated by precedent taere would seem to be no’ room for doubt that this question should be answered in the nega- tive. It must be admitted, however, that expondent.) appellants some gronnd to belleve that any scheme or device—no matter how traneparent the fraud—is sufficient to baffle bears the magic legend ‘original package.' This theory has been founded upon what | has been supposed to be the holdin of the court of Iast resort In the cases already re- ferred to; but as we view it these decisions do not justity the deductions made.” “Original Packages” a Subterfuge. Reverting to the first case in which “orig- Inal packages” are mentioned, that of Brown against Maryland, by Marshall, the court says “In this, a8 in some other notable in- stances, the principle then announced has been so distorted and wrested from its original eimple 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 doctrine.” The court concludes by virtually declar- ing the effort to evade Towa laws by the “original package” route to be a fraud, and upholds the law, declaring that the small packages containing ten cigarettes each are not original packages at all. On the other grounds the law is also upheld—that It wa properly passed ‘ang that It is uniform in its application. - 3 Land Fraud € 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 years. 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 in fact agent for Russ, and the sale of a tract of land was e Decided, bona fide and Russ capnot secure the re- | turn of the conveyance. This means a loss of about $100,000 to Russ on similar cases in the Lund failure. Court's Decistonn. The following were the decisions of the court today A. 8. Jewell, appellant, against J.
