Kansas insurance law ruled unconstitutional by judge
The Kansas law barring insurance with out‑of‑state or unauthorized companies was deemed unconstitutional by Judge A. H. Skidmore in the Williams case. Lumber dealers from Galena and surrounding areas faced tax penalties for insured contracts under the act, which aimed to tax premiums and drive business to authorized firms. The ruling followed arguments that private contracts crossing state lines were protected and that the tax lacked a public purpose.
