Seek Court Ruling To Force Payment Of Tax On Mail Order Sales

The Polk County district court had blocked Chicago Sears Roebuck from operating stores in Iowa for not collecting the tax on mail order purchases by Iowa customers. The 1937 act targets border merchants losing trade to states with lower or no sales tax by requiring purchasers to report and pay the Iowa use tax on mail orders.
