I believe that over interstate commerce there should be but one regulating power, and that the power of the nation. I believe that any form of legislation which transfers the power of regulating fundamentally the commerce between the States from the nation to the States is an enlargement of the power of the State by the dele-. gation of the national power to it and would result in giving to the States extraterritorial jurisdiction and therefore to be clearly unconstitutional.
