Definitions from Case Law
From 306 U.S. 167 - Southern Pac. Co. v. Gallagher · 1939Most cited · 422 citing opinions
The prohibited burden upon commerce between the states is created by state interference with that commerce, a matter distinct from the expense of doing business. A discrimination against it, or a tax on its operations as such, is an interference. A tax on property or upon a taxable event in the state, apart from operation, does not interfere.
