Wisconsin Supreme Court upholds teachers fund tax validity
The Wisconsin Supreme Court reversing Milwaukee Circuit Court upholds the income surtax and stock dividend tax under the 1921 teachers' retirement fund law. The ruling sets the surtax at one sixth of one percent per $1,000 over $8,000 and affirms the state's right to tax stock dividends, while sustaining the overall constitutionality of the act and its funding splits between Milwaukee and state levels. The case began when Milwaukee trustees challenged the tax as nonuniform and improper for a city with its own retirement fund.
