Watermelons and lemons are higher. The
seed market shows more activity, ano
prices are higher. A number of changes
will be noted in the drug market. with the
exception of linseed oil advances being.
made. Receipts of poultry are large, but
quotations are readily realized. Eggs are

and prices advancing. The wool market is
fiat. Hides are slow and prices unchanged.

A TEST CASE.
Yavapai County Wants Rail-
 road Taxation.
A Suit Filed Yesterday to Test the ExemDtion Acts of 1891
 and 1893.

District Attorney R. E. Morrison O
 Yavapai county yesterday filed in ths court of this judicial district suit by
 Yavapai county against the territoria board of equalization praying for s mandatory writ compelling the board to put the property of the Santa Fe Prescott X Phoenix railroad in Yavapaj county on the assess ment list for taxa. tion or to appear and show cause why it should not be done. The writ is made returnable on May 7.
 The purpose of the plaintiff is primarily to reimburse itself for some $l4,000 annually paid out in interest on about $2S0, ,0O0 bonds voted the Prescott x Arizona Central railroad company by the county. As matter not contained in the complaint it may be said that at the time the construction of the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix was begun the Prescott & Arizona Central was in existence and paying taxes, This road has been driven out of busi. ness by the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phe- nix and connot be made remunerative to the taxpayers the bonds remain in force and the interest falls due with greater regularity than the P. & A. c. trains used to arrive at and depart from Prescott.
 General interest in the suit, however. lies in the fact that 1t is to test the validity of laws passed by the Six teenth and Seventeeth legislatures ex- empting certain railroads from taxa tion. It will also try the question as to whether the Santa Fe, Prescott & Pho- nix has complied with the provisions of the exemption acts.
 Lawyers differ as to the validity of a tax exemption law. In all states where tests have been made they have been decided to be invalid for the reason that the constitutions of nearly all states provide that all species of prop erty shall bear uniform tax.
 The territory of Arizona is without g constitution and her legislation is restricted only by the constitution of the United States, which is necessarily silent on the subject of direct taxation. Neither is there anything in the organic law of the territory bearing on the subject.
 It has been held, however, that uni formity of taxation is matter of com mon law and that the principle is 3D. plicable whether provided for by con stitutional provision or not.
 The question has never before been raised in this territory, though there was a case growing out of the reduction of taxes of the Santa Fe. The supreme court then recognized the principle of uniformity of taxation. Should the same view be held by the court as now constituted, Yavapai will win her suit, and the laws passed in 1891 and 1893 for the encouragement of railroad building will be set aside.
