The Central Iowa railway Is preparing to
transfer at the Mississippi river. The work of
making landings each side of the river is be-
ing pushed forward with all haste
Trouble seems to be brewing again between
the northwestern lines. Several of the roads
charge that some of the others are cutting the
rates. and If the charges of each road against the
others are true, one can go in any direction he
chooses for a rate much below the scale agreed
upon.
The system of interlOcking signals and
switches in USE in the passenger station yard of
the Boston g. Albany, at Boston, and at other
points on the road has proved satisfactory
that the company has decided to put 1t into gen.
eral service all along the line rapidly prac-
tcable.
The news comes from Montreal that a contract
has been let for the building of a line of railway
700 miles long, from Cornwall to the Sault Ste

measure, parallel the Canada Pacific, and both

Canada.

Several dealers on the New York Stock Ex-

may not have as much gingerbread work as
some other lines in connection with trains, but
there is little to criticise in regard to the COM
fort, convenience or safety OF its passenger
trains.

Taxing the Railroads.

At the session of the State Board of Equallza-
ton yesterday John W. Coons, the assistant
treasurer and land agent of the Chicago & At
lantio railway, made statement in behalf Of
the company. The road was only completed last
April, he said, and trains began running in May.
The road has not been ballasted yet, and he
asked light assessment Edwin Hawkins,
representing the Chicago & West Michigan com
pany, said that their road was only thirty-one
miles. 1t had been built for lumber trade and
had earned less than the expenses amounted TO-.
Thomas Hanlan, land agent and attorney of the
Louisville, Evansville q st. Louis, requested
that their tax assessment which is at the rate Of
$1,000 mile, should not be increased. Tie
road has been in operation only a short time,
and has not yet been ballasted, but broken stone
is now being put down. The main line is 116
miles in length. The earnings do not cover the
expenses, and the company is now delinquent
two months on ii pay roll.

A General Restoration of Rates to Tariff TO

A General Restoration of Rates to Tariff to
Take Effect July 1.
The impression now prevails that on Sunday
next all the most important roads between the
western termiui of the trunk lines and Chicago
and ST. Louis will make united effort to restore
rates to tariff and then strictly live up to them.
The belief is that the roads which have not yet
signed the agreement entered into by certain
roads at the Chicago meeting will do sc DIT an
early day. Should they not, hOwevei, it is
thought that they will accept the situsCion ant
live up to the spirit of said agreement.
Up TO the present time the following
roads have become parties to the agreement: The
Baltimore & Ohio, Chicago, st. Louis g. Pitts
Durg Cincinnati, Washington & Baltimore; Cleve-
land, Columbus, Cincinnati Indianapolis;
Grand Rapids IL Indiana Indianapolis & st.
Louis; Jeffersonville, Madison & Indianapolis;
Lake Shore u Michigan Southern; Louisville q

" st. Louis; New York, Pennsylvania & ONO:
ONO IL Mississippi Pennsylvania Companys
lines; Plttsburg, Cincinnati & st. Louis; Terre
Haute d Indianapolis: Vandalia line; Wabash,
st. Louis & Pacific; and on July l, the twenty
three roads in the joint executive committee will
increase their passenger tariff to all points
west of the Mississippi. The increase Is
practically no advance over the present
tariff rates, but all the roads have agreed to mold
theIr-rates up to the tariff, which they have not
been doing for nearly two years. The practice
has been to establish a rate between New York
city and San Francisco and use that basis
upon which cuts could be made. The roads have
now entered into an agreement to hold up to
tarln rates after July /, and any rate.cuttlng by
any road will be followed by withdrawal from
business connections with 1t at pro rata figures
by the other members of the committee. The
outcome of this general bracing up of rates will
be watched with interest. AS under the freight
pooling agreement there members which
acted dishonorably and attirst gave trouble so
may it be expected to be with the passenger
pooling agreements,

TAXATION OF GREENBAoKs.
An Opinion by Attorney General Hord in
Reply to Inquiries from the
Auditor of State.

In reply to a question from the Auditor of
State, yesterday, asking "Tf there are any cir
cmnstances under which person holding
United STATES Treasury notes, known as green
backs, on the first day of April, is not exempt
from taxation" Attorney general Hord gives
an opinion of considerable length, which has
some interest 10 the public. In his answer to
the question, Mr. Hord SAYS "United States
Treasury notes. commonly called greenbacks
held in the ordinary way, are not subject to tax
alton. 1t has been decided by the courts
that when person, few days before the first

The Auditor also asks: ''When a person has

credits on the entire amount from his green
backs" In his reply Judge HOrd saws: HSec-

insurance policy on the life of her husband, Dr..
Byron B. Eaton, resulted in a verdict, in the
Federal Court, in favor of the plaintiff for 49,

paid the amount of his dues. The payment of

afterward issued by the grand officers for It's
liquidation. Objections were made by the Grand
