This volume presents the legal argument of Creed Haymond before the Supreme Court of the United States on January 12th and 13th, 1888, concerning the 'California Railroad Tax Cases.' Representing the Central Pacific Railroad Company, Haymond meticulously lays out the case against the state’s method of taxing railroad properties. The argument delves into complex issues of constitutional law, property valuation, and the economic impact of taxation on interstate commerce. Haymond contends that the methods employed by the State of California unfairly targeted railroads, violating principles of equal protection and due process. This historical document offers valuable insight into the legal battles fought during the late 19th century as railroads expanded across the American West and the challenges of balancing corporate interests with state revenue needs. 'California Railroad Tax Cases' is a significant resource for legal scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the intersection of law, business, and transportation history.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
