Rail tax equity urged over West Virginia coal routes
A 1928 Chesapeake & Ohio Railway report shows West Virginia’s share of system income at 33.67 percent, yet the state taxed only 45,442.77 on intrastate gross sales. Advocates push constitutional change to tax railroads as property or repeal the gross sales tax, with intangibles as a funding source. The piece notes coal-field profits and railroad stock gains amid industry growth and calls for reform to end interstate exemptions.
