FRANCHISES MAY BE TAXED
Decision Rendered by the United States
Supreme Court.

WASHINGTON March 16.-Chief
Justice Fuller of the United States Su-
preme Court to-day handed down de-
cision in the cases of the people of Cali
fornia against the Central Pacific and
Southern Pacific Railway Companies,
involving the right of the State to tax
the franchises of those roads
The railroad companies resisted this
taxation on the ground that their fran
chises were derived from the National
Government as we'll as from the State
authorities, and We're inseparable.
The court decided against this view,
holding that the railroad companies owe
their existence as corporations to the
State, and are subject to State laws in
respect tc taxation.
The Chief Justice said that the State
franchises have never been merged in
the Federal franchises, and that they
were as legitimately subject to taxation
as the roadbeds of the companies.
Justice Field read a dissenting opin-
ion, in which he said that the position
taken in the majority opinion was ab-
Surd and untenable.
