TO PREVENT TICKET MANIPULATION
A Committee to Hold a-Meeting for the
Purpose of Fixing Rules.

A Committee to Hold a-Meeting for the
Purpose of Fixing Rules.
Competitors Of the Wabash railroad, nc
cordng to Chicago dispatch, deny that
they have been cutting rates on eastbound
passenger business from Kansas City. ON
the contrary, they claim that II is the Wa.
bash that has violated Arbitrator Martin $
ruling rs regards diGferentlal rates.
Mr.. Martin ruled that the Wabash was
entitled TO dlmerental rates on Its ordinary
trains from Kansas City to Buffalo, but
that ii must charge regular standard rates
on It's fast train. II Is now charged that
some tickets have been sold at differential
rates by the Wabashs fast train since the
ruling was made.
The matter was thoroughly discussed at
the meeting of the Western Passenger as.
ISOLATION held In Chicago day or two ago,
and the conclusion was reached that the
trouble was due to the lack Of rules 10 pre-
vent the manipulation Of tickets, and that
some action should be taken to protect
tickets sold at points west of the Missouri
at dlneTential rates. A committee was ap-
pointed of representatives. of the Chicago
ST. Louis Kansas City lines TO meet with
the Transmissouri lines to consider meas
ures for protecting tickets sold west of the
river over roads running East from Kansas
city, The meeting win probably be held
the latter part of this week.

TAXING ROLLING STOCK.
An Important Question viii Have to
Be Determined in Texas.
PALESTINE DECIDES TO ASSESS IT
viii Seek to Collect Taxes on Property
OF the Railroad Having Its Head
quarters There.

Both the railroad interests of the state
and the municipal governments Of places
where railroad companies have headquar-
tiers have been watching the course of
Palestine IN seeking to levy taxes on all
the rolling stock of the International and
Great Northern road, because its head
quarters are in that city and the property
proposed to be taxed Is not and can not
be assessed by any other city In the state.
such action on the part of the municipal
government of Palestine has been In con
temptation for some time past, but now II
Is about to develop into something tangible
The board Of equalization of that city has
decided that all the rolling stock of the
international and Great Northern com.
pany whether in or out OF the city. is tax.
able on the city rolls that being the gen
erai headquarters of the road and con.
sequently, the natural home of such rolling
stock.
That phase of the question being de-
termlncd by the board of equalization to
IT'S own satisfaction, the body is now In
session fixing the valuation of the prop
erty of the road which heretofore has
heen taxed only In a general way: that is,
IN the counties through which the road
!uhs, ana not specifically assessed and
OF the road have been summoned To appear
betore the board OF equalization for the
purpose Of assisting 1t IN arriving at Il
proper valuation of the rolling stock
a question Of the greatest interest to the
ciiics Of the State in which railroads nnve
headquarters and to the roads themselves
Is thus brought up, and 1t is a question
mat admits OF good argument on either
side. Under the present cons ructiou Of
we laws governing taxation the rolling
STOCK OF railroads Is not subject to munich
pal taxation In addition To the State ana
county tax. The tax on the rolling stock
Is apportioned among the counties through
which the road passes and no place bene-
lis from that portion of the railroad $
property that is not maintained in that par
ticular city.
No doubt the international and Great
Northern will resist this action taken hy
the Palestine nv nicpal government aud
II will require the action OF the highest
state courts TO determine the equity OF
the proposition. should such decision
favor the municipality, Palestine will bcuc-
ut by about $1,000 or $4,000 additional
annual tax revenue. and precedent VIII
have been established which viii give
many cities In the state chance TO swell
annual tax collections.
The result OF the case will he watched
with much interest by all concerned as
the proposition Is one Of no little i'm.
