Brandeis tersely and succinctly summed up the matter thus:
The statute here questioned deals with a subject clearly
within the scope of the police power. We are asked to
declare it void on the ground that the specific method of
regulation prescribed is unreasonable and hence deprives
the plaintiff of due process of law. As underlying questions of
fact may condition the constitutionality of legislation of this
character, the resumption of constitutionality must prevail
in the absence of some factual foundation of record for
overthrowing the statute." No such factual foundation being
laid in the present case, the lower court deciding the matter

presumption of validity must prevail and the judgment
against the ordinance set aside.

That is all then that this case presents. As it stands, with all
due allowance for the arguments pressed with such vigor
