 $lOO, 900 Railroad Tax

this is evident from our own statutes bearfnH upon fhis caee." With regard to the point raised that the law ik in violation of the statute relating to the impairing of the obii- gations of contract. the opinion states; sTt is a well-known law that State may allow q foreign cooperation to transact business within its limits on such terms as 1t may please, or may exclude ft entirely. The license In the absence of special terms is one which may be recalled or burdened with additional restrictions, provided is not violated.
 "The law in question Is not vioiative of the clause In the Constitution, nor that In the United States Constftutiou, In regard to the iupairing of the obit. gallons of contract, unless there be some special features connected with the granting of the license to the cor poration. which differentfate 1t from the ordinary case of license granted to . corporation. section 1Iss of the Code of isee under which the purchase of the roads. in this case. were made, provides that 'such railroads 90 pfir- chased shall be in nlf respects. suh- feet to the laws of the State, as if owned by q domestic corporation and all liens and rights Of creditors shall be preserved. .r
 The opinion then takes up the point raised that the law is in violation of the fourteenth amendment of the Con- stitution of the United States. It is expected that the declsion of the Alabama Court will be appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States that the point raised relative to the fourteenth amendment may be passed upon by the highest tribunal of the land.
