Important Tax Decision,
The State supreme court, the 9TH, rem
dered decision reversing that of Judge
Young of the Hennepin county district
court, in what is known as the st. Paul &
Sioux City land tax case. The case in
wolves the payment of taxes on about 400,
GOO acres of railroad land The law of the
| state relieves such lands from taxation un-
til they pass out of the hands of that cor
poration to which they were granted. In
this case, the road was sold to a separate
corporation, the stockholders of the road
| taking the land grant. By this act the
state claims the lands changed hands, in
fact, and at once became taxable, while
the company holds that the transaction
was simply to afford stockholders security
against the corporation, and that no trans
fer of the lands, as contemplated by the
law, had been made. Judge Young de-
cided in favor of the company, which the
supreme court reverses, and orders a new
trial, at which the company will have to
show that the Indebtedness existed at the
| time the agreement as above was made. or
