The Weekly Florists' Review. 



JUNB 11, 1908. 



paragraph which provides that every 

 agent representing a nursery located in 

 another state shall be required to carry 

 a duplicate of the permit issued to his 

 principal, is invalid, because a discrimi- 

 nation is made against the citizens of 

 other states and in favor of the citizens 

 of South Dakota, but the first paragraph 

 of Section 2 is not covered by the de- 

 cision. 



Section 3 is not covered by the deci- 

 sion. Section 5 is declared valid so far 

 as it relates to the license fee of $10 for 

 the principal, but under the decision as 

 relating to Section 2, the requirement of 

 a fee for the agent's duplicate permit 

 is invalid. 



The decision, in the main, is in favor 

 of the nurserymen, and it is the judg- 

 ment of our counsel that we should not 

 appeal the case. The main point not 

 covered by the decision is the require- 

 ment of Section 2, that each agent shall 

 carry a certificate from the principal, to 

 which alone probably no one would ob- 

 ject, and that the principal shall be 

 bound by the acts of the agent unless 

 he notifies the customer within thirty 

 days from the making of the contract. 

 The latter is a bad provision, but could 

 not be reached on an appeal in the pres- 

 ent case, and could only be taken up 

 through a new case, after some agent or 

 principal had violated that section of 

 the law. 



Our counsel, however, feels that this 

 section is so plainly unconstitutional, as 

 interfering with the right of contract, 

 that no attempt is likely to be made 

 toward its enforcement, and advises that 

 we file entomologist 's certificates, tender 

 the license fee of $10 and demand a per- 

 mit, and do our business as we do it 

 elsewhere, paying no attention to the 

 other sections of the law except to give 

 our agents such certificate of appoint- 

 ment, as many of us do in the ordinary 

 course of business. 



During the year the attention of your 

 chairman was also called to the laws of 

 the states of Wyoming, Oklahoma and 

 Wisconsin, and McGuire & Wood pre- 

 pared an opinion as to the constitution- 

 ality and validity of those laws. It is 

 our opinion that we have good grounds 

 for contests in each of the three states, 

 and would therefore recommend that test 

 cases be brought without delay. It is 

 believed that the funds of the associa- 

 tion cannot be expended in any better 

 way than in defending the rights of our 

 members against foolish, unreasonable, 

 arbitrary and unconstitutional legisla- 

 tion. If we meekly submit to such legis- 

 lation, other states will follow in similar 

 paths, until gradually but surely our 

 business will be hampered and inter- 

 fered with all over the United States.
