The State of Warner is one of the few with a population of a rare animal, the yellow-bellied sapsucker. A
state statue forbids hunting and trapping yellow bellied sapsuckers and authorizes game wardens to

statute. These laws are regulating two separate things.

In order to insure safety of drugs, a federal law was enacted which provided that certain, designated
drugs, which cross state boundary lines, shall be in "sealed, metal containers." One of these drug was
tribananol, which was manufactured exclusively in the state of Corpus. Other designated drugs were
manufactured in other states.
Subsequent to the federal enactment, the governor of Corpus signed into law a statute requiring all
drugs (including tribananol) shipped within Corpus to be "sealed in plastic containers." The preamble to
the statute announced the state's concern with the safe shipment of drugs.
