NAY END IN LITIGATION
DUTJ1TH & IRON RANGE ROADS
TRANSFER OF GRANT
TO COBB
STATE AUDITOR DUNN SPEAKS
says State VIII Not Submit to the
Deal and Stands Ready
to Defend Its
Rights.

l.. n. Cobb of Chicago, to whom the
Duluth < Iron Range road transferred its
land grant after it had been sued by
the county of st. Louis for taxes there
upon, may be called into unsought prom
inence in Minnesota as the defendant of
an action wherein the state will consu-
tute the plaintiff When the transfer Of
the land was made it was said that
tacit understanding existed between the
railroad company and the Chicago man,
which was regarded as a means of get
ting the case into the United States
courts. where the company believed 1T
would be more liable to win the case
According to the contention of State
Auditor Dunn, Cobb became responsible
for the taxes Of this land when it was
transferred 10 him, as it then, under the
decision of the supreme court in an
nuling the Anderson law, became SUD
ject TO taxation. The auditor is quoted
as having said that in all events. the
state does not intend to submit grace
fully 10 any such 2 TRANSACTION and
stands ready to defend its title in the
courts.
From the detailed comments upon the
Anderson law. made by General Counsel
Bum, of the Northern Pacific, and pub
lished in the Q of yesterday, 1t
seems that the stand taken by Mr.. Bum
is quite plausible and that it comedies
exactly with the position OF MI. BUM,
whose thorough acquaintance with the
law and all it's provisions enables him to
speak authoritatively with reference to
it.
Cobb is the holder of more railroad
grants than any other individual or rail-
road in the state. His total acreage
amounts to 100000, while that held by the
railroads only reaches 400 600.
The argument has been advanced In
respect to this land, that the grants
under which it was acquired, were diff
ferent from those made to the older
roads, inasmuch as they were made after
the adoption of the constitutional amend
nent OF 1881, prohibiting public land
grants to railroads. Upon these grounds
the validity of the grant has been
brought into grave doubt. The Ander-
son law decision may therefore not ar,
feet this grant owing to the variance OF
the contracts.
Unless some such good fortune pre-
walls, the Duluth Il Iron Range road
may ind itself embarrassed quite as
much as it would have been had 1t re-
tanned the land instead of transferring il
to Cobb.
