AGAINST THE CENTRAL PACIFIC
The California Supreme Court Passes on
Tax Ors@tiou.

The California Supreme Court Passes on
the Tax Ore-tion
San Francisco Jan. THE Supreme
Cont has filed its decision In the six
cases Involving the Central Pacific rail
ten by Justice Harrison. The decision
was agafnst the railroad companies.
Superior Judge Hebbard's declaration
that the railroad assessments for 1887
were valid was sustained.
The Supreme Court found that inter
est on unpaid taxes was not imposed
by the statutes. and the amount de
creed by Judge Hcbbard for interest
was disallowed.
The penalty of 5 per cent is included
in the sum each railroad corporation
must pay.
The opinion of the court was writ
ten by Justive Harrison. The decision
settles points which the railroads have
been raising for years to avoid pay
ing the taxes. Justive Mcfarland rem
dered a dissenting opinion. The rail
road companies may find some conso-
lntion in the fact that they save over
s230, 900 in interest and the fees al
lowed one lawyer. The companies will
have to pay, however, the amount of
the taxes, which will be SCAT 800. with
per cent. penalty and Langhorne &
Miller's fees, about $4,000.
The decision declares, among other
interesting points, that it is lawful to
assess n railroad at its value without
deducting the amount OF its mortgages,
as Is done in the assessment of other
property. The supreme court also re
jectS the contention that the assess
ment in question is void for the reason
that II includes the franchise received
by the railroad companies from the
United States. 1t was contended that
the franchises received from the state
had been merged into that given by the
United States. The decision declares
the contention is not supported by any
authority. Justice Mcfarland in his
dissenting opinion holds that the assess
ment was void because it included a
federal franchise, and thus attempts to
tax one of the means employed by the
United States government in carrying
out its sovereign powers. It was not
apparent to him how the state fran
chise could be separated from the other.

Cr1ppIe Creek, Colo, Jan. 5.-An in
dignation meeting that was largely at
tended was held at Altman tonight,
the purpose of which was to protest
against the action Of the postofiice de
partment In removing the office from
that point to Independence No par
ticular speech making was indulged in,
but ID was finally decided to be thor
oughly impracticable to patroniZe the
office at the point to which 1t had been
moved on accotint Of the steep noun
tain that it would be necessary to go
down and climb up again, 50 II was re
solved that hereafter or until such time
as the postal authorities should re-es-
tablish an office at Altman, every citi-
zen should have his mail direced TO
Cripple Greek postoffice. A big box
should be rented and a man employed
to bring it UP to them. In order to
wind up business at once, Faharbeck
Brothers, the expressmen, were employ
ed on the spot for this purpose, and NJ.

shall distribute the mail upon Its ar

effect that the power company must

tract must be carried OUT while the
mill runs. The original contract was
TO pump three years at $500 year ana
Al years at 5000 per year. The three
years have elapsed. The decision, ms
understood here, is TO the effect that

THE recent death Of q Vienna bank
teller from the effects Of noistening
his fingers on his lips when counting
money ought to prove a startling les
son to those who are careless enough
to now and then hold piece Of paDer
money between their lips. This par
ticular teller had been repeatedly
warned that he should use wet
sponge instead Of his lips in moisten-
ing his fingers. 1t Is impossible to
tell who has handled the old, greasy,
"dog-eared'' money that is kept in
constant circulation, impossible to
say what poison it has touched. TIC
allow it to come in contact with any
wound or even get in indirect com
munication with any mucous mem
brane seems like flying in the face Of

The San Francisco Chronicle con-
tends that tree planting is profitable
business. Whether it is or not, it
may be said that as long as farmers
recognize no profit in the business, all
effort to induce people to plant trees
from sentiment or for the public good
will be OF little avail. Forest preser-
walton and forest planting depend
very much upon an appreciation of
the material benefit to be derived
from them Forests would not be
preserved in Europe a. carefully as
they are were It not for the knowl-
edge that there is profit in that
course.
