General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
McCarroll v. Dixie Greyhound Lines, Inc., 309 U.S. 176 (1940)
McCarroll v. Dixie Greyhound Lines, Inc. No. 13 Argued December 14, 1939 Decided February 12, 1940 309 U.S. 176
APPEAL FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT
Syllabus
A state tax allocated to highway purposes and imposed on each gallon of gasoline, above twenty, brought into the State by any motor vehicle for use as fuel in such vehicle, held a forbidden burden on interstate commerce as applied to gasoline carried by interstate motor buses through the State for use as fuel in the course of their interstate transportation beyond the state line. P. 180.
In the circumstances, the imposition is not compensation for the privilege of using the state highways.
101 F.2d 572 affirmed.
Appeal from a decree which reversed the action of the District Court in denying an injunction and in dismissing the bill in a suit to restrain the enforcement of a state gasoline tax, 22 F.Supp. 985, and which directed that court to enter a decree of injunction.
