taxes under the gross earninRslaw. The
district court decided in favor OF the
railroad. The treasurer appealed, and
the supreme court affirms the decision
of the lower court The Northern Pacific,
prior to the ruling Of Auditor Ward that
she company's lands should bs taxed,
had been accustomed to paying tax
upon the gross earnings of the road.
ibis amounted to something over $40,
QS0 per thirds of which tax
went to the credit of counties through

the territory. In the amended
answer to the complaint in the receat
action of the territorial treasurer againRt
the company, the company held thss un.
der the gross earnings law they could be
rightly taxed only upon the gross earn
ings OF business originating and termi-

sustained by the court. The company
had paid the first bali of its 1886 tax
about $36, ,000-- before the ruling OF the
auditor as above, leaving the other hall
delinquent, upon which action wat
brought by the treasurer. The court
decides THAI this sum more than covers
the tax for the whole year under the new
Gtatement and therefore there remain,
no delinquency for that year. The grost
earnings on Dakota business amounts &c
about $l2. 900 per annum only, and few

Treasure Lawler the one-half OF this

upon which the ablest lawyers have diff

but what is their loss will be the gain O
