Summary

Portrait of Morrison Waite Morrison Waite Bonaparte v. Tax Court — Opinion of the Court

No State can legislate except with reference to its own jurisdiction. One State cannot exempt property from taxation in another. Each State is independent of all the others in this particular. We are referred to no statute of the debtor State which attempts to separate the situs of the debt from the person of the owner, even if that is within the scope of the legislative power of the State.
