In the first place, it implies the further principle that an attempt by a State to tax interstate or foreign commerce is tantamount to an attempt to regulate such commerce, and is consequently void. In other words, the principle of the exclusiveness of Congress's power to regulate commerce among the States and with foreign nations, which is advanced by way of dictum in Gibbons vs.

"When he won the interstate he lapped up flattery like a thirsty pup, but his bluff was that it was only for the college he cared to win." "Most of us have mixed motives." "Not J. K. Reminds me of old Johnson's 'Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel." Jeff straightened. "That won't do, Sam. I believe in J. K. You've got nothing against him except that you don't like him."

The clerk stared vaguely, as if he did not quite understand the situation. "Yes," eagerly broke in the irrepressible Hiram, as if he was introducing some big magnate, "he's Dave Dashaway, and he's beat the field with the Interstate Baby Racer." "Oh, Dashaway, eh?" said the clerk, with a pleasant smile. "I've heard of you and read about you."

Suffice it to say that there are three possible methods of approaching the question, as it is complicated with the interstate commerce power of the Federal government.

Left free to choose their own trading port, they made the mistake of selecting Hirado, which was eminently unsuited to be a permanent emporium of interstate commerce.

I sought at that time, in a very informal way, to have the railway managers go before the Interstate Commerce Commission and agree to a heavier reduction on farm products and coal and other basic commodities, and leave unchanged the freight tariffs which a very large portion of the traffic was able to bear.

These states set up a congress and president in Washington with strictly delegated powers. That congress and president they delegated to look after certain common interests, to deal with interstate trade, to deal with foreign powers, to maintain a supreme court of law. Everything else education, militia, powers of life and death the states retained for themselves.

"All right, show them up," directed the colonel briskly. Dave did so. Hiram sat regarding his friend, with undisguised admiration, as for one half, hour Dave went over papers, explaining the merits of the Interstate biplane with all the clearness and ability of a born salesman. "You'll do," pronounced the showman with an expansive smile, as Dave concluded. "That's the contract, is it?"

The special burden of which the Illinois operators had been complaining was not removed; yet they were compelled by the union to remain a party to the Interstate agreement.
