Law Upholds Out-State Cigarette Tax Collecting Act

The ruling, written by Judge Fahy, upholds Congress authority over interstate commerce. The Consumer Mail Order Association plans to appeal to the Supreme Court. The law, effective Oct. 19, 1949, requires sellers shipping cigarettes to out of state buyers to report monthly to the destination tobacco tax administrator.
