Unequal Assessment,

specuIation has been INDUCED IN since
the state board Of equalization made pun
lie the assessment OF the various rail-
roads in Montana, why the Great North
ern has been assessed at 81 600 per mile
and the Northern Pacific at $4,000.
The board, in session this morning
prepared an answer which explains the
reason fdt the difference. Section z, Of
the act creating the Northern Pacific
railroad, exempts from taxation the night

No legislation has been had since Mon

smption.. As the real estate Of the road

ton.
The foregoing dispatch clipped from
the San Francisco Chronicle, - Of more
than passing interest to the people Of
New Mexico and Arizona. At different
times, on various occasions the question
as to the liability or non-liabili!y of the
Atlantic & Pacific railroad to taxation in
these territories has been raised, and
Judge Hazeldine, the general attorney
for that company, has always contended
that his company was not subject to tax
alton at ali, except upon its personal
property, and that all Of its railway and
appurtenauces were exempt. NeVerthe-
less. ne has for the past ten years always
paid a very reasonable, fair and just
amount Of taxes, which has been receiV
ed by the people of New Mexico In the
spirit in. which it was offered, aud has
been regarded as q fair payment in view
Of all the circumstances and the roads
exemption from taxation, but we under
stand that in our sister territory OF All
IONA some opposition has at different
times been manifested 10 the acceptance
Of the fair and just compromises offered
by Judge Hazledine. This action OF th'
state board Of equalization Of Montana
after that territory had become state
upon charter the exact counterpart o
that granted to the Atlantic & Pacific
railroad, shows how little ground there ii
for claiming that the Atlantic * Pac ifi'
railroad company is liable 10 taxation
and, furthermore, that the authoritie
and people Of the northwestern territorie
concede and have constantly conceded
that the Northern Pacific railroad is no
liable to taxation at all upon anything
bnt its outside personal property; that
to say, they entertain the came view a
that contended for by Mr.. Hazledine
and eoneede that the exemption OF Oh
right Of way carries with it the exeinI
ton Of the railroad and all Of its appni
tenances Albuquerque Citizen,
