Important Railroad Decision by
She Supreme C~urt Of the
UmfGed states.

4 Il
I The unanimous opinion of the United
! States Supreme Court, delivered by Mr..
Justice Miller, at Washington, in the Illinois
Railroad taxation eases, establishes the fol-
lowing propositions:
FSrSt-Neither irregularity in the proceed
ings, excess in the valuation, nor hardship
of the law, if it be constitutional nor any
grievance reuaediable by suit at law win
authorize an injunction against the collection
of taxes.
.Sec0nd-This rule is founded OH the prin-
ciple that the levy of taxes Is q legislative,
and not a judicial function, and also in the
necessity that the taxes, without which the
State cannot exist, should be regularly and
promptly paid into its treasury.
TAtrd-The same rigid rule would proba-
bly, not apply to taxes levied by municipal
corporations for corporation purposes.
FoMrth-No injunction, preliminary or
final, can be granted to stay collection OF
taxes until it is shown that all the taxes re-
ally due have been paid or rendered without
demanding a receipt in full.
FUkh-Fhe Constitution of Illinois de
elares i'll express terms that certain persons
and corporations engaged in special pur-
suits may be taxed by a general law, uni
form as to the class upon which it operates,
and under this provision statute Is not I'M
constitutional which prescribes a different
rule OF taxation Tor railroad companies from
that for individuals.
Sirth-Nor does it violate any provision Of
the Constitution of the United States.
Seccnth-The capital stock, franchises,
and all the real and personal property of
corporations are justly liable to taxation,
and a rule that ascertains the value of all
this by ascertaining the cash value of the
funded debt, and of the shares of the capital
stock, as the basis of assessment, is probably
as fair as any other.
Eighfh-Deducting from this the assessed
value Of all the tangible real and personal
property, which is also taxed, leaves the
real value of the capital stock and franchise
subject to taxation as justly as any other
mode, all modes being more or less imper-
feet.
NmM--It is neither in conflict with the
Constitution of Illinois nor unequitable
that the entire taxable property of the rail
road should be ascertaincd by the State
Board of Equalization, and that the State,
county and city taxes should be collected
within each municipality on this assessment
in the proportion which the length of the
road within such municipality bears to the
whole length of the road within the State.
Tenth-The courts cannot substitute their
judgment az to valuation for that of the
Board
Elerenfh-The Supreme Court of Illinois
having decided that the law complained Of
in these cases is valid, this court adopts that
decision rs Il rule ia be followed i'll the Fed
eral courts. .
