Railroads in the Hands Of Receivers nust
Enjoy No Immunity

ENJOY NO immunity
Railways in the hands of receivers must
pay taxes promptly, as other taxpayers.
says Judge Caldwell OF the United States
cirucit court in Kansas, writing to the
cbunty attorney OF Harper county, in an
swer to complaint against the Santa Fe
receivers. He says:
Railroads in the hands OF receivers
appointed by me enjov no immunity or
exemption from taxation enjoyed by the
like kind of properly under like condi-
tions owned and operated by citizen or
corporation of the state. If the taxes
which you claim to be legal and just are
not paid by the receivers within the time
required by law, you can go ahead and
collect them by levying upon and selling
Inc property as you would do if the road
was operated by the company, unless the
receivers are able to enjoin you and de-
feat the collection by a proceeding in
your own state courts where they have
all the rights of citizen of your state

In the midst Of our effort TO make
plain the errors Of our financial Byntem
we should not overlook the fact that the
improved machinery Of the last half GEN.
tury, coupled with q unity Of effort, hAa
greatly accelerated the production OF the

this hss the tendency to lower the price

Now, the way TO remedy this, and the
only way ! can zee whereby to Fight
this wrong, is to shorten the hours Of
labor.
This would have ct least three good
effects: 1) It would give employment
to a larger number Of laborerg, thereby
relieving many q home Of its pinch OF
poverty, and bringing Joy and happiness
to thousands Of anxious souls. CD This
would give employment to large NUM-

countries where the laborers have fought
