Supreme Court to rule on Michigan railroad tax system
The Michigan railroad tax plan, adopted under a constitutional amendment, uses a state board to value railroads and levy taxes based on a ratio of total state taxes to total property value. Railroads challenge the method as unconstitutional, arguing it violates republican government and due process, while state officials defend it as a state legislative action and executive valuation. The case tests representative taxation and Interstate Commerce Commission power to fix rates, with far reaching implications for interstate railroading and taxation.
