Wisconsin v. Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing Co.
Supreme Court of the United States
Wisconsin v. Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing Co., 311 U.S. 452 (1941)
61 S. Ct. 253; 85 L. Ed. 274; 1940 U.S. LEXIS 17
Wisconsin v. Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing Co.
Opinion
delivered the opinion of the Court.
This case, involving another application of the Wisconsin Privilege Dividend Tax considered in Wisconsin v. J. C. Penney Co., ante, p. 435, is governed by that decision except for a contention made by this respondent but not pressed here in Penney1's case.
The Commerce Clause is invoked. Büt it is too late in the day to find offense to that Clause because a state tax is imposed on corporate net income of an interstate enterprise which is attributable to earnings within the taxing state, Matson Navigation Co. v. State Board, 297 U. S. 441. That liability for such a tax is made con-, tingent upon later happenings, as in the circumstances of the present case, makes no difference.
Reversed.
