OPINION BY-BELKNAP. c. ].

This is an action to recover taxes due
for the year 1875 amounting to the sum OF
$6.353.50 together with penalties and costs.
Defendant valued it's railroad in Storey
County at S70,7S7, and delivered to the
Assessor the statutory statement to thai
effect. The officer declined to accept the
valuation but assessed it at the sum of
Sl27 ,010. The Board of Equalization sus-
tanned the officer and i'll due time this ac-
ton was commenced.
At the trial a verdict was rendered in
favor of the State for $6,353.50 together
with penalties and costs.
From the judgment and an order refus-
ing a new trial defendant appeals.
In the case of the State vs.. v. Il T. K. r.
Co. ct al, 46 Pac. Rep, 723, it was decided
that the value of this railroad for the pur-
poses of taxation for the year 1895 must be
determined mainly by its net earnings
capitalized at the current rates of interest.
taking into consideration any immediate
prospect for an increase or decrease in the
earning capacity of the road.
In that case the only evidence to SUD-
port the verdict was that of the Assessor.
He testified that in his judgment the rail
ROAD III WashOe County was worth the
amount assessed. 1t was shown that he
had no knowledge of the business of the
road; that he had not examined the re-
ports of the Company filed in compliance
with law in the office of Secretary of State,
and that if he had known of any decrease
of its earnings that fact would not have
influenced his valuation of the property.
1t was held that this evidence was in
sufficient to create a substantial conflict
in the evidence when the undisputed facts
were, That according to the correct method
OF valuation the assessment WAS too high.
mat case is sought to be distinguished
from this, upon the ground that in this
case there is a substantial conflict in the
testimony and therefore his Judgment
should be affirmed.
In this case the only witness upon the
part of the State touching valuation was
the Deputy Assessor. His testimony WAS
substantially the same as that of the AS
SCISSOR in the case from Washoe County.
Some testimony was introduced tending
toshoW that the Superintendent o fdefend-
ant had admitted the correctness of an as
sessment made in the year 1893, but it was |
also shown that in that year the business |
ofthe road was exceptionally prosperous.
the yearly statement made June 3Oth
showing Sl02,341.50 as net earnings.
we are unable to make any distinction
in principle in the respect mentioned be-
tween the cases. The remaining portion
OF the testimony is substantially the same
in each case.
1t was shown that the net earnings for
the year 1895 were $27,449.53. That sum
capitalized at eight per cent, the rate of in
terest fixed by the u~ndi~puted testimony.
represents S343,ll9,l2 as the value of the
entire road.
The valuation fixed by the Assessor
cannot be upheld and the case must be re-
versed for the reasons given in The State
