terstate traffic as crosses the state ~
comes into or goes out of If as the
miles hauled within the state bears
70 the entire haul of each particular
commodity. f-'- - : - c.
To illustrate:
when a car of freight is hauled
ooo miles, 800 miles within the state
and 3O0 without, and the earnings
TOR the entire haul is, say, $500.
there would be credited to the state,
as having been earned within it.
one-hal+ of the total net earnings
as basis of taxable earnings.
Under the proposed law the division
is not to be made on such a basis. but
on all interstate traffic CROSSING the
state or passing into or out of it upon
the basis that the mileage operated
W!tn1n the state bears to the entire
mileage operated by each railroad com
pany.
1t the railroad company which
hauled the traffic referred to-the
600 miles-operated but one-fifth of
its mileage in the state, as is the
case with several of the roads, the
division of interstate traffic as the
basis of taxable earnings, instead of
being, as it would under the MILEAGE
basis, 5000, or one half of $500, 1t
would be one-fifth of $500, or $50.
Under the existing law the railroads
pay about $1,500,000 annually to the
state. If the new law had kept them
on the same basis the amount of taxes
paid under 1t would have amounted to
nearly 100000.
Its Specific Provisions.
The proposed law provides first "for
a tax of 4 per cent upon local business,
and as to interstate business, on a pro-
portion of earnings on all interstate
business passing through, into OF out
OF the state as the mileage operated
Within the state bears to the entire
mileage operated by such company"
II this law goes into effect the state
Will receive on interstate traffic which
touches this state only such proportion
of per cent which the mileage of the
road within the state bears to it's en-
tire mileage. About So per cent of the
mileage of the Great Northern is in
Minnesota, and it would therefore pay
on this class Of freight only .O142 per
cent.
About fifth of the mileage of
the Northern Pacific is in Minnesota.
and its tax on this class would be
only .00S per cent.
The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
has about one-sixth of it's mileage in
Minnesota and It's tax on interstate
earnings would be 0066 per cent.
The result of the new law would be
that under its provisions the amount
of taxes paid into the state would be
much less than under the old law.
