Sibley Law Stands Injunction Denied In Express Tax Suit

The Adams Express Company sued over the act arguing Fourteenth Amendment violation and the Nebraska Railway Commission and attorney general were named defendants. The court overruled the abatement plea and allowed renewal of the injunctive request if conditions change. The suit is tied to a previous state supreme court action filed July 5 and removed to federal court, with July 10 filing of the removal petition.
