TAX LAW UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Supreme Court Rules Against Gross
Revenue Tariff.

MISUNDERSTANDING the Minnesota
gross revenue tax law on express com
panies to be unconstitutional in one de-
%cesion, the supreme court of the United
States in another decision held n similar
law of Oklahoma unconstitutional.
The latter law was found to be moro
than n tax on property, and was distin-
guished from the Minnesota case on that
ground.
The Oklahoma law was expected to
bring into the state treasury about
$4,000. 900.
The Oklahoma gross revenue law Of
1910 was applicable TO all public service
corporations other than railroads. Tho
law had ben regarded as an essential unit
of Oklahoma's system of taxation.
