Supreme Court Invalidates Pingree Equal Taxation Plan
The Michigan Supreme Court declared invalid the main principle of the Pingree-Atkinson equal taxation bill. It ruled that a tax on property based on assessment cannot be maintained as a specific tax, jeopardizing the old act taxing telephone and telegraph property for a designated purpose. The decision follows Governor Pingree's test of the 23 year old act and may prompt moves to have the Atkinson provision declared invalid.
