A SERIOUS MovEMENr.
General Disposition to Increase ha:;-
road Taxation in Texas.

rOuu
Austin, Texas, June 2S.-Attention has
several times Of late been called in these
dispatches to the many requests made by
commissioners courts to the railroad COM
mission for the figures at which its ex-
perts have valued railroad property, as
indicative OF a disposition to elevate the
assessments Of such property for taxation
Recently, however, as result OF the
showing made in the injunction suits
brought against the commission last win
ter (Which suits were afterward compro-
mised) the requests referred to are being
addressed to a new information bureau.
During the preliminary proceedings In
cidental to said suits the attorneys of the
roads concerned filed an imposing array
of afhdavits to the effect that their prop
erty was worth much more than the COM
mission had valued it at. Said afhdavits
are on file in the Federal district court
here and the clerk of said court is just now
quite busy preparing certified copies there
of for various commissioners courts which
have applied for same. The inference Is
that where such applications have been
made the powers that be are of the opin-
ion that railroads are worth as much per
mile for taxpaying as for rate making pur-
poses, and propose to assess them accord
ingly,
