Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the development of railway taxation in Iowa from its inception in 1855 to the ad valorem system's establishment in 1872. Prior to 1862, railroads were taxed through their stockholders. However, the Civil War's financial burdens led to the implementation of a gross receipts tax. By 1868, public sentiment shifted toward equalizing the tax burden and regulating railroads, resulting in a progressive gross receipts tax in 1870. The compromise law of 1870 served as a stepping stone towards the ad valorem system, finally adopted in 1872. This book not only provides a comprehensive account of railway taxation in Iowa but also sheds light on the broader struggle for corporate regulation and the evolution of tax systems during the transformative era of the 19th century.
