The Steam Wagon.

The steam WAGON for the Redman
Transportation Company arrived Mon
day night and was uploade,i this morn
ing. Nearly all the male population
of the town and few OF the gen:ler
sex we're on han,i to see that the pm
derous engine was unloaded safely.
This was accomplished abont noun
and the engine with one of the wag-
pns attached steamed through the

Mr.. Redman informed tile INDIE.
PENDE-T this afternoon that it was
his intention to construct his own
road over which to run his wagons
and that he y ouuld use the county
road only where the topography of
the country compelled him to lisa it.
He also said it was his intention to
have man on horseback ride about
half mile ahead Of the wagon
through the canyons to notify people
with teams that it was coming and il
they could not get out OF the road
the engine would ST. p and itI force of
three men would assist the drivers of
the teams to get past. 1t is not his
intention, be said, to cause runaways
or Inconvenience the public in any
way in travelling tue county road.
Mr.. Redihan calculates that it will
take three or four days to make the
first TRIP to Tu carorH, as he will have
to buil.l the necessary bridges. After
thus is done be expects to load with
fron % to 4O tons Of freight and
make The trip to Tuscarora one day
and come back the next.

MIR. JACOBsON'S BILL FOR IN
CREASING THE GROSS EARNINGS
TAX OF RAILROADS
HEARING ON THE SUBJECT
Judge Wilson and Gen. Grover Calls
the Attention of the Committee
on Taxes and Tax Laws to the
Provisions of Certain Charter
Contracts Entered Into During
the Territorial Days

The house committee on taxes and
tax laws considered at a public hear
ing last evening the bill of Mr. Jacob
son (Rep), of Lac qui Parle. H. F. No.
%, providing for an increase in the
gross earnings tax of railroads from 2
to per cent. This increase is to be
IN lieu of all other taxes anc assess
ments on property and capital stock.
Inc companies are to submit an alb
slfact or all business done to the state
treasurer on or before May 1 and Dec.
OF each year, and the tax is payable
In two installments. on Jan. and
June l. In default of the acceptance
OF the provisions of the law the meas
ure provides that the property of the
companies, both real and personal. is
TO be assessed in the several counties
as other property is. The act Is To he
submitted to the people for approval
or rejection at the general election in
1900 -- ~
Judge Thomas Wilson, general
counsel of the Omaha road, and M. D.
grover, general solicitor of the Great
Northern. presented briefly arguments
In opposition TO the bill. and then the
committee asked Mr.. Jacobson. the au-
thor, TO give his views on the measure
MI. Jacobson. however, was back
ward about coming forward. He sug-
gested that it would be better to have
the committee or such members as
were DESTROYS Of looking up the legal
points made by the representatives Of
the railroads first satisfy themselves
On these matters. He was ready to go
ahead and present his argument, but
he insisted that if he did so the COM
mIttee should take action on the bill
as soon as he had concluded.
Mr. Dwinnen Rep.), of Hennepin,
and Mr.. Wallace (RepD, of HenneDin
were not ready to assent to this, and
wanted time to look up the legal ques-
tons raised by Mr.. Grover and Judge
Wilson.
Mr. Jacobson said he did not intend
to be seesawed as he had been in the
past. and unless the committee would
take action on the measure tonight
he would prefer to defer his arguments
until some other time
1t was decided that next Tuesday
evening would suit all the members.
and at that time Mr. Jacobson will
present his argument, and the commit
tee will take action on the bill.
Judge Wilson, general counsel of the
Omaha road, said he was not going to
discuss whether 8 per cent was a Just
tax. Nothing unfair should be done to
the railroads. He questioned if any of
the committee paid 3 per cent on their
gross income. There should be equal
ity of taxation of railroads as we'll as
other property. He claimed the con-
tract made by the charter of the roads
when Minnesota was a territory was
contract that could not be touched
by the legislature. The Winona &
st. Peter road, under its charter and
to comply with the requirements, had
built portions of the road six wears
before there was any need even of a
freight train being run. This was done
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-01-26

simply so as to comply with the char
Ter under which it was Incorporated
and did business. The charters ante
dated the state constitution, and the
charters issued before could not be
changed. As to any charter granted af-
ter the adoption of the constitution, he
was not discussing it, 1t was possible
that the legislature had the power to
increase the gross earnings tax to be
paid by these roads, but whether it
would be fair or just to tax one road
more than another was a question
He cited from a decision of the Unit
ed states supreme court to sustain his
point, and also from a decision of the
state supreme court. Charters granted
before the adoption of the constitution
were in the nature of a contract. and
the legislature could not by any law
change the amount of gross earnings
tax to be paid.
Mr.. Grover said the Manitoba road
had charter dated in May, 1857. and
one OF the provisions was that the pay
ment of 2 per cent of its gross earn
lngs should be in lieu of all taxes. The
present proposed law or any law which
would change the charter or contract.
would not be valid. The Great North
ern, which was now the Manitoba com
pany, came under this contract.
In 1873 was enacted the law which
provided that graduated gross earn
fngs tax could be paid by any com
panleS desiring to do business. The
railroads under this act could. by
law submitted to the people. have
gross earnings increased, although it
was contended that this would be I'M
fair, owing to one company paying 3
Fer cent and another higher tax. AS
to this, however, he had no need to
discuss, as the road he represented had
obtained its charter from the territory.
ana the constitution when adopted pro-
vided that all contracts or charters
should be kept inviolate.
He commended that in speaking of
value of railroad only what the prop
erty would bring at a sale for some
other purpose should be considered. The
value of franchise was also hard to
get at. The tax on the franchise was
included in the gross earnings tax of
the various roads
M. D. Mum and F. B. Kellogg. who
were present, said they had nothing to
offer, as the points had been practical
~ covered by both Mr.. Grover and
Judge Wilson
