State Ex Rel. Jacksonville Gas Co. v. Lee

In mandamus proceedings the relators seek to require the return to them of the amounts paid the State for excise license taxes for the period from July 1, 1931, to August 24, 1931, the contention being that as the statute did not take effect until August 24, 1931, the levy of the excise license tax prior to August 24, 1931, violates, organic. law.
