CONSTITUTIONAL LAW - INTERSTATE COMMERCE VALIDITY OF STATE STATUTE REGULATING AUTOMOBILES DRIVEN INTO THE STATE FOR PURPOSE OF SALE

A statute of California forbade the transportation of automobiles from without the state for the purpose of sale within or without the state unless there be attached to each vehicle a special permit issued by the State Motor Vehicle Department, for which a fifteen dollar fee was exacted. A suit was brought to restrain state officers from enforcing this statute. Held, the statute imposed an unconstitutional burden upon interstate commerce. Ingels v. Morf, (U.S. 1937) 57 S. Ct.

439, affirming (D. C. Cal. 1936) 14 F. Supp. 922.
