RAILROAD TAXES.

E. aB. Ryan, of the Southern Pa
cific Company STATED before the State
Board of Equalization of California
that the road is assessed $4,000 per
mile i'll Webber. county and $500
per mile in Box Elder county, Utah.
In Arizona the average rate is $500
per mile, in New Mexico $1,000 per
mile, in Oregon $4,000 per mile,
while in Nevada the lowest is $4,000
per mile and the highest $4,000 per
mile. In explanation of the high rate
i'll Nevada, he said the grass is very
short in this State, and railroad taxes
are the chief source of revenue. Re
no Journal.
We wonder if it ever occurred to
Mr.. Ryan that the policy pursued by
the Southern Pacific Company towards
this State was not responsible in a
great degree for the "grass" being very
short here.
In California, where the passenger
and freight rates are regulated by
Commissioners owned by the railroad
company, the passenger rate is three
cents per mile, while in Nevada, where
the cOmpany's charges are not regu
lated, it costs five cents per mile to
ride i'll one of their dirty day coaches.
The freight rates are also much lower
i'll California than they are in Nevada.
Here their freight charges, especially
from Ogden to points in Eastern Ne
vada, pass the limits of common hon
esty and reach far into the domain of
grand larceny.
If Mr.. Ryan would investigate this
subject. instead of casting dirty slurs
at the State, he might find reason,
not only for the high valuation placed
on the railroad in Nevada, but for the
high rate of taxation prevailing here
as well.
The INDEPENDENT does not for q
moment admit that the valuation
placed on the property of the railroad
COMPANY, even at $4,000 per mile, is
Ill excess of that placed on the prop
erty OF individuals. If the taxes paid
by the Southern Pacific Company
care the chief source of revenue" it
is because the company owns the
property and not because it is assessed
too high.
