State Authority vs Federal Tax in Express Company Case
The Georgia railroad commission lacks power to construe or enforce the federal stamp tax on shipments. The tax is national in character and uniform across states, not within state control, and the commission overextends its authority by attempting to compel payment or enforce penalties. The state and commission cannot substitute US law for state regulatory duties.
