NORTH DAK0TA'S
EXCISE TAX LAW
is KNOCKED OUT
United States Circuit Court of
Appeals Holds Statute
Invalid

The North Dakota excise tax law nt
1919 was declared unconstitutional III
an unanimous decision Of the United
States circuit court of appeals sitting
at st. Louis last week on the grounds
that the act is discriminatory. that it
imposes Il burden on Interstate COM
mcrcc and that it seeks to tax property
beyond the limits of the state.
In his opinion. Judge SanbOrn. pro
sling. declared that North Dakota in
its excise tax law had gone step fur
thcr than any other state in the union
in discrimination. inasmuch Us the eS-
else tax provided that railways, tclc
phone, telegraph, express and freigil;
companies. after the value of their
stocks and bonds was asccrtained,
should be assessed pro-rata on mile.
age basis. whereas it was shown by
Director General Hines in attacking
the act that North Dakota contained
% percent of the mileage of the rail
ways affected and produced but 1G per-
cent CT their gross earnings.
For the same reason. the opinion of
the court held, the law inflicted an un-
inasmucl as the assessment Of stock
and bonds bf common carriers was rela-
lively higher than that Of other cor
poraticns, and the court further found
that the amount Of the tax in all cases
was unreasonable and cXorbitant.
There sat with Judge Sanborn Dis
trict Judge Monger of Denver and Dis.
trict Judge Ferris Of ST. Louis. AS
sistant Attorney General Packard, who
appeared for the state, announced to.
day that an appeal will be taken imme'
diately to the supreme court Of the
United States. Judge Mum of ST. Paul,
chief counsel for the Northern Pacific:
Chief Counsel COuntryman of the
Great Northern. and special counsel
for the Milwaukee. 500 and Director
General Hines represented the appel
lants. The. tax involved is $500
per annum.
