How later courts describe this case
- upholding a Louisiana minimum pricing scheme, which apparently did not involve blended pricing, where plaintiff did not attempt to show any actual conflict with federal statutes or policy
- classification in tax statute must be reasonable, not arbitrary, and must be rationally related to legislative purpose
- Schwegmann noted that the state milk regulation involved in the Pearce case was in “direct conflict” with the federal milk regulation; that compliance with the state regulation could result only by disobeying the federal regulation
- considering cigarette tax on cigarettes received in interstate commerce
