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.

Trusler v. Crooks No. 188 Argued November 17, 1925 Decided January 11, 1926 269 U.S. 475
ERROR TO THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF MISSOURI
Syllabus
Section 3 of the "Future Trading Act," purporting to impose a tax of 20 cents per bushel upon all privileges or options for contracts of purchase or sale of grain, known to the trade as "privileges," "bids," "offers," "puts and calls," "indemnities," or "ups and downs," is unconstitutional. Its purpose is not to raise revenue, but to inhibit, by a penalty, the transactions referred to, as part of the plan set up by the Act for regulating grain exchanges under guise of the federal taxing power, which was adjudged unconstitutional in Hill v. Wallace, 259 U.S. 44. P. 479.
300 F. 996 reversed.
Error to a judgment of the District Court for the defendant in an action brought to recover money paid under protest as a stamp tax.
