Attacked Constitutionality

buses which have been operating between points in Connecticut and points outside the state.
 Attacked Constitutionality
 Chapter 25i of the public acts passed by the last general assembly is the law to which the interstate bus corporation objects and which 1t attacked on four points on the grounds Of constitutionality. IL pro- Nidcs for tax, in addition to the registration tax, on all public sery- ite buses operating within the state limits, on q rate based upon the amount of income received by the company and in another claus" pro- yides for a tax on buses operating from points within the state 10 points outside the state based on the mile age of road over which the inter- state buses travel. This last rate. the interstate bus corporation main- tains, is far in excess Of what it should be and so far the corpora ton has failed to pay the tax un- der the protection of the temporary injunction against the state officials restraining them from collecting 1t.
 The Four Claims
 The four claims upon which the constitutionaIity of the law is at tackled are:
 1.-The law is an interference with and a burden upon interstate commerce.
 o-It is a violation Of the United States constitution in that it taking property without process of law
 3-It is a violation of the consti- tuition in that it unlawfully denies equal protection of the laws.
 At is a violation of the consti- fulton in that the tax is so large as to become confiscatory.
 Other Protests
 Aside for these constitutional oh- iections, the interstate bus corpora ton further claims that the federal government allow the states an amount of aid for their roads to cover just such items as the de- preciation from untaxable interstate buses
