Questão jurídica principal
Whether the cantonal poor-tax assessment against Jenny constituted unconstitutional double taxation.
Decisão extraída
No. The record did not show that another canton asserted tax authority over him during 1885; mere study stays in Zurich and Bern did not establish a conflict of tax sovereignties.
Fundamentação extraída
Federal review does not extend to the correctness of cantonal tax-law application. For double taxation, it is enough that another canton claims tax sovereignty, but that prerequisite was not proven here. There was no demonstrated conflict between cantonal tax powers.
