States Circuit Judge Simonton has grant
ed the petition Of the Corporation Com
mission for a rehearlng of the railway
tax case. The date fixed for the rehear-
ing Is December 18th. ar Charleston. S. c.
The rehearing was asked on the ground
that the recent decision of the State SUE
preme Court I'm the case Of Abbott VS..
Beddingheld holds that the Corporation
Commission has the power to fix the tax
value Of railroad property in the State.
Judge SimOntOn, IN his decision shortly

Federal Judge is bound by a States con-
struction of fits own laws Counsel for
the Corporation Commission say that in
view Of the Abbott decision Judge simon
ton cannot now do otherwise than re-
verse his opinion on the question of the
taxing power.
The railroads. on the other hand. will
contend that the dolverance of the SUI
preme Court on the taxation question was
purely a collateral matter. not directly
before the court, and that, therefore,
United States judge is not bound by it.

value of railroad property I'm the State at
