Missouri Supreme Court Invalidates Third Constitutional Amendment
The Missouri Supreme Court declared the third constitutional amendment from last fall invalid under the Fourteenth Amendment. The decision, written by Justice Valliant, holds the measure unconsti tutional for exempting railroad property and failing to ensure tax uniformity. Justices Robinson Brace Gantt concur with Valliant, while Burgess Sherwood and Marshall dissent. The provision would have taxed mortgages and related obligations as property interests, causing shared liability between mortgagees and mortgagors and potential penalties for noteholders. Kansas laws and lender concerns were cited as context.
