TAXES ON RAILROAD RECEIPTS.
The Supreme Court Declares the
Pennsylvania Law Valid.

The Supreme Court Declares the
Pennsylvnnia Law Valid.
Washington, May N-The supreme court
to-day upheld the Pennsylvania state tax
upon the gross receipts Of railroads. The
case came to the supreme court on a writ
of error from the supreme court of Penn
sylvania. The complainant was the New
York, Lake Erie and Western Railroad
Company, which claimed that as all the
business done over the road by the lessee
party was interstate commerce, it was not
competent for the state to tax the tolls
received by the company which owned
the road.
In the opinion rendered the court holds
that the fact that the same corporation
which owns the track in Pennsylvania
owns likewise a track in New York, does
not deprive such company of the right to
receive tolls for the use of that part of
its road that lies in Pennsylvania nor the
state of its right to tax such portion Of the
tolls, and that this is what the court be-
low decided It, therefore, concludes that
the federal questions involved in the case
were properly decided by the Pennsyl-
vania court and its judgment was accord
ingly affirmed. The opinion was rendered
by Justice Shiras.
