[705] The Court relied particularly on Adams Mfg. Co. _v._ Storen, 304 U.S. 307 (1938) in which the multiple taxation test had been used. [706] Justice Black dissented without opinion. Justice Douglas, speaking also for Justice Murphy, contended that the sale had been local, and that the only interstate agency employed had been the mails, an argument which squares badly with the attitude of the same Justices in United States _v._ South-Eastern Underwriters Assoc., 322 U.S. 533 (1944). [707] 330 U.S. 422 (1947), reaffirming Puget Sound Stevedoring Co. _v._ Tax Comm., 302 U.S. 90 (1937). [708] 330 U.S. at 433. [709] Justices Murphy, Douglas, and Rutledge thought the decision correct as to receipts from foreign commerce. Speaking for them, Justice Douglas made an effort to resurrect Maine _v._ Grand Trunk R. Co., 142 U.S. 217 (1891). Justice Black dissented without opinion. [710] 334 U.S. 653.

[719] Hans Rees' Sons _v._ North Carolina, 283 U.S. 123, 132, 133 (1931). In this case a North Carolina tax was assessed on the income of a New York corporation, which bought leather, manufactured it in North Carolina, and sold its products at wholesale and retail in New York. The Court observed: "The difficulty of making an exact apportionment is apparent and hence, when the State has adopted a method not intrinsically arbitrary, it will be sustained until proof is offered of an unreasonable and arbitrary application in parti
