Millers National Association Challenged Over Iowa Pure Stock Law
A court review led by Frank H. Reed finds Iowa pure stock food law unconstitutional only if it discriminates against goods produced within the state. The Millers National Federation sought to dodge state rules by claiming national law preempts them. Iowa exempts in state products from inspection fees, a point Reed argues renders the law unconstitutional. The town ordinance began July 4, with payment deadlines still pending, delaying enforcement until they lapse and the matter proceeds to the courts.
