ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT

OF THE STATE OF MISSOURI

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.
