Governor notes court ruling on local taxation and railroad debts
The commentary discusses a Supreme Court decision recognizing the Legislature may apply taxation to local objects, a practice the governor argues resembles an appropriation. It notes counties with railroad debts gain advantages while others face higher tax rates, and reflects on the Twenty-Sixth General Assembly’s lengthy session, numerous bills, and public press reaction. The piece praises railroad expansion potential and defends the legislature's overall impact despite criticisms.
