ration Law Decision.
ADMINISTRATION ELATED
Supreme Court Of the United States,
In the Case Of the Western Union
Telegraph Company, Holds That a
State Cannot Tax Outside Property
Of a Corporation Engaged in Legal
Interstate Business.

Washington, Jan. 1917 deem the
decision one Of very great Importance
In sustaining the legislation recon-
mended by the president regulating
railroads." said Frank B. Kellogg Of
st. Paul in commenting upon the de-
cision of the United States supreme
court in the cas- of the Western I'm
ion Telegraph company against the
state of Kansas. Mr.. Kellogg argued
the case in question before the courts.
The administration Is elated over
the decision Of the court, as it laid
down a rule which the president be-
lieves will be of great aid to the ad-
ministration in sustaining its general
legislation, especially the regulation
Of interstate carriers.
The court held that where a cor
poration is legally in q state engaged
in interstate and domestic commerce
the state cannot place a tax on all
its corporate stock representing its
property beyond the state and it's in
terstate commerce as a condition of
its continuing to do a domestic bust.
ness.
The court held that a state might
tax all the property situated in the
state, or it might tax a proportion of
its capital stock representing that
property, but that it could not tax
property situated beyond the state,
nor could it impose these taxes as a
condition of granting the corporation
the privilege to do a local business.
The decision, while protecting the
states in all of their rights of taxing
property engaged in commerce in the
states, whether domestic or interstate,
limits the power of the state to inter-
fere with corporations engaged in in
terstate commerce.
