Description
The contentions of the company, to which particular attention will be directed, are, in substance, that the requirement that it pay, for the benefit of the permanent school fund of the State, a given per cent of its authorized capital, wherever and however employed, as a condition of its right to continue to do domestic business in Kansas, is a regulation which, by its necessary operation, directly burdens or embarrasses interstate commerce, and, therefore, is illegal under the commerce clause of the Constitution; further, that such a requirement involves the taxation not only of the companys interstate business everywhere, but equally the property employed by it beyond the limits of the State, a thing which could not be done consistently with the due process of law enjoined by the Fourteenth Amendment.
