The Supreme Court decision in Commonwealth Edison v. Montana confirms the right of states to impose a severance tax on natural resources and the right of Congress to limit the rate of taxation, but it declined to mandate an equitable rate. If other states follow Montana's example and raise their severance taxes, the Court and Congress can avert any effort to form a coal cartel among the Western mining states. This article reviews the issues behind the suit and analyzes the decision. An appendix compares the rate and revenue disposition of the 16 states that impose severance taxes. (DCK)
