General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT
OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON
Syllabus
1. The power of the states to quarantine against importation of farm produce likely to convey injurious insects from infested localities was suspended, insofar as concerns interstate commerce, by the Act of August 20, 1912, as amended March 4, 1917, investing the Secretary of Agriculture with full authority over the subject. P. 96.
2. This Act of Congress cannot be construed as leaving the states at liberty to establish such quarantines in the absence of action by the Secretary of Agriculture. P. 102.
3. A quarantine proclaimed by the Washington under Ls.1921, c. 105, against importation of alfalfa hay and alfalfa meal except in sealed containers coming from designated regions in other states found to harbor the alfalfa weevil is therefore inoperative. Pp. 93, 102.
128 Wash. 365 reversed.
Error to a judgment of the Supreme Court of Washington affirming a decree, in a suit instituted by the state, permanently enjoining the railroad company from transporting through the state consignments of alfalfa hay and meal from other designated states or parts thereof in disregard of a quarantine.
