California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from City of Oceanside v. Pacific Tel. & Tel. Co., 134 Cal.App.2d 361, 285 P.2d 704 (Cal. App. 1955):

To insert the italicized words in the section would defeat the purpose of the prohibition against discriminatory taxation and add a meaning not to be found in the clear wording of the section. We are not at liberty to add provisions to what is declared in definite language. People v. Campbell, 138 Cal. 11, 15, 70 P. 918.
