Largest filing fee paid under protest in Montana
The Chicago, Milwaukee and Puget Sound Railway paid the largest filing fee ever demanded by Montana’s secretary of state, under protest, testing the law under which it was assessed. The St Paul takeover of Puget Sound boosted capital to $951,673.10 as it prepared to file in Montana. The fee of $23,461.31 sparked the protest, arguing the statute violates the commerce clause by basing fees on total capital stock and foreign-property assets. Other large fees followed: Anaconda Copper Mining Co roughly $12,000 and Puget Sound about $10,188 for initial Montana filings.
