Description
Messrs. B. R. Curtis and Clarence Seward, for the plainti f in error; Mr. P. Phillips, contra. In several cases decided at this term we have had occasion to consider questions of State taxation as affected by this clause of the Constitution. In one,1 we held that the State could not constitutionally impose and collect a tax upon the tonnage of freight taken up within its limits and carried beyond them, or taken up beyond its limits and brought within them; that is to say, in other words, upon interstate transportation. In another,2 we held that a tax upon the gross receipts for transportation by railroad and canal companies, chartered by the State, is not obnoxious to the objection of repugnancy to the constitutional provision.
