[99 Fed., 354.] NOTE TO TRUST AVOIDANCE.-A note made for a balance due on goods bought from a corporation cannot be avoided merely because the latter is a trust organized to create and carry out restrictions in trade contrary to the common law. SAME. A note made for a balance due on goods bought from a corporation cannot be avoided merely because the latter is a trust organized to create and carry out restrictions in trade contrary to the "Sherman Act" (Act Cong. July 2, 1890), as that only covers contracts which are themselves in restraint of trade, and does not affect those which "merely indirectly, remotely, incidentally, or collaterally regulate, to a greater or less degree, interstate commerce between the states." ILLINOIS TRUST LAW-CONSTITUTIONALITY.-Act Ill. July 1, 1893, defining trusts and conspiracies against trade, declaring contracts in violation of its provisions void, etc., provides (section 9) that it shall not apply to agricultural products or live stock while in the hands of producers. Held, that such section rendered the entire act void, as a violation of section 1 of the fourteenth amendment of the federal constitution, and the provision of Const. Ill. art. 4, § 22, that, in cases where a general law can be made applicable, no special law shall be passed. • Affirmed by Supreme Court (184 U. S., 540). See p. 118. 1 |
