Washington, Feb. 21.-By reversing
the decision of the supreme court OF
Alabama. the supreme court of the
United STATES today declared uncon-
stitutionaEas applied to the Southern
Railway Company, the Alabama statute
levying a1&Anual franchise tax on
foreign corporations doing business
in the state. The court held it was an
improper determination between
foreign and domestic corporations.
The constitgtionality of the act OF
the Alabama Legislature of March Z,
1907, was raibed by the Southern Rail,
way Company after it: had been re-
quired to - the county s22,405 as an
annual franchise act. This act pro-
,vided that all foreign corporations
authorized to do business in the state
under the laws of Alabama must pay
an annual franchise tax. The railroad
company claimed this was unconstitu.
tional, as applied to it, claiming it was
an improper discrimination between
a domestic and foreign corporation.
The city court of Birmingham, in
which the suit was brought by the rail-
road to recover the tax, gave judg-
ment against the railroad and the
supreme court of Alabama, in affirm
ing that decision, held the law constl-
tutional. 4
The same decision was given in the
suits of the Louisville & Nashville
Railroad Company, and other railroads
for the recovery of the taxes paid
under the law
