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.
Johnson Oil Refining Co. v. Oklahoma Ex Rel. Mitchell, 290 U.S. 158 (1933)
Johnson Oil Refining Co. v. Oklahoma ex Rel. Mitchell Nos. 22 , 23 , and 24 Argued October 17, 1933 Decided December 4, 1933 290 U.S. 158
APPEALS FROM THE SUPREME COURT OF OKLAHOMA
Syllabus
An Illinois corporation owned a fleet of tank cars used mainly in transporting oil from its refinery in Oklahoma for delivery in other states. Upon making such deliveries, the cars usually would be returned to this refinery pursuant to directions accompanying them on their outward trips. The refinery had trackage for a small part of all the cars and facilities for making minor repairs upon them, but the cars were almost continuously in movement, and each, on the average, was out of Oklahoma from twenty to twenty-nine days each month.
Held:
1. That while the cars had acquired a situs outside of Illinois, the domicile of their owner, for the purpose of state taxation, the mere fact that the refinery where they were loaded and reloaded was in Oklahoma did not fix the situs of the entire fleet in that state. P. 161.
2. Jurisdiction of Oklahoma to tax such property must be determined on a basis consistent with the like jurisdiction of the other states in which the property was habitually employed. P. 162.
3. Oklahoma’s share for taxation could be determined by taking the number of cars which on the average were found to be physically present there. P. 163.
162 Okla. 185, 19 P. 2d 168, reversed
Appeals from judgments of the Supreme Court of Oklahoma sustaining property taxes on railway tank cars. The proceedings were by appeal, through intermediate courts, from the action of the taxing authorities.
