Decided November 16, 1903
191 U.S. 165
Syllabus
The rights of an individual under the Fourteenth Amendment turn on the power of the state. A state does not infringe his rights under that amendment by exempting a corporation from a tax either wholly or in part, whether such exemption results from the plain language of a statute or from the conduct of a state official under it.
The facts appear in the opinion of the court. chanrobles.com-red
