The Ruling Of Judge Sawyer in the

Justice Field at San Francisco, Monday.
rendered tie decision of the United States
Circuit Court, denying the motion submit.
ted some days age, to remand the case of
the County of San Mateo VS.. the Southern
Pacific Railroad to the Superior Court of
San Mateo county for trial. As this case
is one of number of quits brought in diff.
ferent counties against the Central Pacific,
Southern Pacific and the San Francisco and
North Pacific Railroads, to recover State
and county taxes claimed to be due, it is to
be considered as deciding the others. The
motion was argued July lIth and 18th by
Greed Raymond, Delos Lake, T. B. Bishop,
and I. /, Bergin for the large companies,
and j. A, johnson for the San Francisco
and North Pacific Railroad. Attorney.
General Hart represents the State Dis.
trict Attorney Ware appears for Sonoma
county; Du Brutz for Tulare county G
V. Smith for Kern county, and Rhodes. &
Barstow for San Mateo county. The trials
are set for September l9sh. Only such
cases will be tried as the District Attorneys
desire to press for trial. Included in the
claims against the railroad companies are
the delinquencies and fines under the rul.
ings OF the State Board of Equalization. The
plaintiffs claim that jurisdiction of the cases
belongs to the Superior Courts of the sew.
eral counties. Justice Field sustains the
position of the defendants holding that the
Federal Courts have such jurisdiction.
After reviewing the points raised on both
sides-one of which, by the railroad com.
panies, was that double taxation resulted
from the rulings of the State Board of
Equalization, and that discrimination had
been exercised against them contrary to
the provisions of the fourteenth amend.
ment of the Federal Constitution, which
provides equal rights and liberties TO all
| and Analysing the clauses of both the Fed.
eral and State Constitutions, under which
the railroad companies claimed protection,
| he held, with Justice Miller and Chief Jus.
| tic Marshall, that such cases as the one
before the Court were decidedly within its
Jurisdiction. The fourteenth amendment
implied, he said, that in distributing the
burden of sustaining the general or local
Government there should be no discrimi.
nation against any class, although this did
not preclude difference in local taxation
for certain purposes. 1t had been indis-
putably held that corporations, which are
composed OF individuals, come equally
with individuals under the protection Of
the amendment. The fifth amendment
