MUST PAY s1,7oo,ooo TAXES.
Supreme Court Decides Against uli-
nois Central in Mississippi Tax

Washington, Jan. THE United States
Supreme Court to-day decided a number
of cases involving the right of the state
OF Mississippi to tax railroads in that
state The roads involved were the Yazoo
and Mississippi Valley Railroad Company,
and the Illinois Central In the general
proceedings against the Yazoo Railroad
the court held, in an opinion by Justice
Brown, that the road was not exempt
from taxation. The decision in the Iln-
nois Central case was to the effect that
the cases involved q Federal question. Tie
Federal Circuit Court for Mississippi was
reversed on this point
jackson, Miss, Jan. THE decision of
the United States Supreme Court tc-
day in the case of the State of Missis-
sippi against the Yazoo and Mississippi
Valley branch of the Illinois Central Rail-
way involves about $685., 900, which is
claimed for taxes from 1888 to 1892. OF
this sum the state and the various coun-
ties and towns through which the road
runs will receive so per cent, and the
revenue agent and his attorneys 20 per
cent.
Other similar suits are pending which
make the total involved about $1,700 900.
The charters granted to the various
branches of the Yazoo and Mississippi
Railroad carried exemption of taxation
for period of twenty-five years. When
the road was consolidated with the iii
nois Central, State Revenue Agent Adams
raised the issue that the exemption was
abrogated by the consolidation, which
was the point of issue in the case just de-
cided
