CHICAGO, Sept. 3.-The general pas
senger agent of one of the strongest
railway lines said, yesterday, that the
the decentralization in east-bound rates
from San Francisco would be kept up
Just so long as the Santa Fe continues
its course of re venue cutting in the
western passenger Trans-Missouri as
sociation territory. In other words,
certain roads that were forced into
carrying a large amount of contract
business to Denver and back during the
knights Templar conclave at the Santa
Fe's SIP rate are now getting whatever
revenge they can by taking away from
that line all Pacific coast travel which,
during the autumn months, is generally
very heavy. The scheme is worked
through brokers and the payment OF
excessive commissions to agents. The
Santa Fe people say that ii this is the
game of their competitors, they are
ready to meet it.
Nothing would suit us BETTER" de-
elared one of the officials OF the road,
"than to give the coast region taste OF
our rate reforms. OF course we are not
much of q San Francisco line, and don't
pretend to be, but the other fellows are
beginning to crawl down now into
Southern California with their demoral-
ization, and we will serve notice on them
that if they continue that sort of thing
they will find that we are interested
there. The meeting to be held in this
city, Monday, will have the subject un-
der consideration, and we may take such
steps as are deemed advisable to regu-
late matters"
The Southern Pacific road failed in it's
efforts before the commissioners to OBJ
tain authority for the fifty per cent. re-
duction in rates on canned goods, wine,
borax and beans from San Francisco to
New York, Chicago, st. Louis and New
Orleans. The commissioners handed
down their decision yesterday.

The State Has No Power 10 Levy Taxes
on Its franchise.
SAN Francisco, Sept. 3.-The supreme
court has reversed the judgment in the
case of the city and county of San Fran
cisco against the Western Union Tele-
graph company, and has ordered the
lower court to dismiss the action. The
suit was brought to recover $4,000
for state and county taxes lev
led on the franchise of the te!e-
graph company for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1886. The company
refused to pay on the ground that it
was not organized under the laws of
California, and had received no fran
chise from it. The company also held
that it was one of the means employed
by the government for carrying into ef-
feet its sovereign powers, that an at
tempt to tax it's franchise, in addition
to the taxes which it pays on its prop
erty,. is an attempt to tax "the opera
tion of the means employed by the
government to carry its powers into
execution" The supreme court says:
''The taxes sought to be recovered were
beyond the power of the state to levy
and therefore void"
