The commercial aspect of the islands

AN INJUNCTION STOPS
THE RAILROAD MERGER

Minneapolis, Dec. 31.-Judge Elliott
Of the District Court of Hennepin coun-
ty yesterday granted temporary Or
der restraining the officers of the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company
from retiring the preferred stock Of
that company. The order was issued
on the application of Peter Power of
New York, who holds 100 shares of the
common stock. 1t was supposed that
the failure of the action brought in the
New York courts by holders of pre-
ferred stock cleared away the last OBJ
stacle to the retirement of the pre-
ferred on January 1st, leaving the Hill
interest In control of the road through
It's majority of the common stock.
1t is inferred, although 1t does not SO
appear, that the present action Is
brought in behalf of the Hartman In
terest to prevent control passing out
Of its hands for another year, or until
the legal standing of the Northern Sc
curities Company Is settled.
Helena. Mont, Dec. 3O.-No action
was taken to-day at the meeting OF the
governors and attorneys general of the
Northwestern states called to consider
plans for opposing the proposed consol-
idation OF the Northern Pacihc, Great
Northern and Huntington railway sys-
TENS. From the discussion mt these
meetings, however, 1t was considered
probable that the plan OF Governor
Van SAINT Of Minnesota will be in
dorsed by the executives or other
states who were present and that the
fight against the railroad consolidation
will be carried to n finish.

REVENUE LAW IS DECLARED
TO BE UNCONSTITUTIONAL

the act creating the Board of Equaliza-
ton there is no such body in existence
The members of the board will assert
that by withdrawing the writ Of super
sedeas Judge DiXon's decision that the
new revenue law is unconstitutional
will be in force. The state has taken
an appeal from this decision, but, pend
ing an opinion on this by the Supreme
Court maintains that Judge DiXons de-
cision leaves the old law in operation
and that the state officials have the
right to impose tax under that meas
ure. The legal points involved are SO
complex that state officials are at a
loss to know what decisive action they
can take in the matter. :
One point is generally conceded, and
that is unless some action is taken
before midnight tonight the revenues
for 1901 may be in danger. All discus
sion of an extra session has been tenn
porarily abandoned in the effort to de
termine upon some plan by which the
taxes for 1901 may be collected. Al
though there are objections to every
method which has yet been suggested
the plan of re-creating the State Board
Of Assessors has been decided upon as
the most feasible.
Attorney General Post yesterday
asked the judges of the Supreme Court
to meet this morning to hear motion
to withdraw the writ of supersedeas
without prejudice to the case. 1t is
argued that in this way the standing of
the caseshow before the Supreme Court
to determine constitutionality of the
new revenue law will not in any way
be. affected, but that the state officials
will be enabled to make the assessment
under the old law and leave the dispute
over the validity of the revenue law
to be passed upon by the Supreme
Court at a later date.
