Supreme Court Rules on Insular Taxation Cases
The Supreme Court decisions on insular relations centered on Porto Rico after the treaty period. The De Lima case ruled Porto Rico not foreign territory so duties collected then must be returned, while Downes upheld the legality of duties on goods from Porto Rico to New York after the Akers act. The rulings affirm Congress power to regulate insular revenues and tax goods moving between ports and insular possessions. Justice Brown authored both opinions with several dissents.
