Washington compensating tax on imports upheld by court
Washington Supreme Court upholds the compensating tax on goods imported into the state to deter border shoppers who buy in Oregon. The 2 percent levy applies to items after arrival in Washington, exempting under twenty dollars monthly and any item already taxed by federal or other states. The scope remains undefined with cases pending on railroads and contractors for Grand Coulee dam. The tax commission seeks broader reach on machinery and materials flown into the state. The last line mentions Turkmen Aryans erroneously in OCR.
