Taxing Railroads in Iowa Constitutional Debate
A Iowa House discussion covers constitutionality of taxing railroads by gross receipts or uniform property tax. Speakers debate Section Nine exemptions, general versus local laws, and possible court rulings. Cutts argues taxation is constitutional. Irish and Murdock question uniformity and policy. Kasson and Mahin seek amendments to ensure general application and clarity.
