ACT REGARDING TAX
 ON WARRANT YARDS
Constitutional Question Comes Up in Hear ing Before the Board of
 Revenue.

An interesting question, involving the taxation of pig iron in warrant yards, was raised yesterday in the case of the Amerl- can Pig Iron Storage Warrant company, which was up for hearing before the board of revenue.
 The company, which maintains yards at every furnace in the district, was cited to appear and show cause why its assessments should not be raised, at the instance of the tax commissioner. In the original returns the company assessed SS.S00 tons of iron at 8 per ton, making total of $266,OO0. This return was unsatisfactory to the tax commissioner, who asked that the assess ment be raised to $663,30O.
 The company appeared in court yester- day, and through its attorney, w. R. Houghton. sprung a surprise by substitut- ing it's original assessment under the pro- visions of an act passed by the last legis- lature, entitled "an act to exempt cotton and other agricultural products and pig iron from taxation in the hands of the producer, or in the hands of the purchaser purchasing same for prompt shipment"
 
 cotton and other agricultural products and pig iron shall be exempt from taxation in the hands of the producer, or the hands of a purchaser, purchasing same for prompt shipment, and that pig iron shall be ex- empt for twelve moTthS after its produc- ton, and thereafter in warrant yards 1t shall pay tax of g per 100 tons for each year while remaining in said yard"
 Under its substituted assessment the company returned 52, 100 tons of iron at g per 100 tons, and rested its case on the law, copy of which was attached to the list. Under this return the total assessable value of the property was reduced to $l, ,942, and MT. Weakley, representing the tax commissioner, raised the question of con- stitutionality on the ground of discrimina- ately filed based on the return made in the substituted assessment, asking that the Iron be taxed at the rate of $7 per ton The question was argued and submitted, and after a short deliberation the board fixed the assessment at $4 per ton on a to- tai of ssoS, 400. thereby sustaining the ques- tion of unconstitutionality, and the defense gave notice of appeal.
 While the assessment of the company was raised $207 ,35s under the ruling of the board it will really pay less than on its original assessment of s5S00o.
 It is probable that the case will go to the supreme court.
