California Supreme Court Rules War Tax on Shipments Illegal
The California Supreme Court on Saturday ruled that Wells Fargo & Co acted illegally by charging shippers the war tax in addition to the regular shipping rate. The test case began in 1898 with W. F. Fitzgerald, former Attorney General, who demanded the one cent stamp be affixed to the bill of lading and the 25 cent regular rate paid. The battle over the extra cent and the principle involved spanned two and a half years of court action.
