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.

ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT
OF THE STATE OF ALABAMA
Syllabus
1 A first mortgage executed to a Federal Land Bank is an instrumentality of the government, and cannot be subjected to a state recording tax. P. 377.
2. Payment of a tax made a condition to the recording of a mortgage is not optional where, under the state law, failure to record would override the mortgage in favor of any purchaser without notice. P. 377.
207 Ala. 456 reversed; petition for certiorari dismissed.
Error to a judgment of the Supreme Court of Alabama which reversed a judgment of the state Circuit Court, in mandamus, requiring a state recording officer to record a mortgage without exacting the statutory tax.
