1. Alston v. United States, No. 898, SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES, April 14, 1927, Argued , May 16, 1927, Decided
OVERVIEW: Because the provisions of § 1, Harrison Narcotic Act, c. 1, 38 Stat. 785, which imposed a stamp tax on certain drugs and declared it unlawful to purchase or sell them except in or from original stamped packages were clearly within the power of Congress to lay taxes, plaintiff in error was properly found guilty of violating the act.
