After all. something is to be hoped
for from national and state laws.
While it is true that many laws on our
statute books are dead as to enforce

it is also true that some of the laws
that we supposed would be of little
effect have been enforced to the letter
and have accomplished all that could
be desired. We Will instance the ma

hardly buy piece of cheese and be

SOUTHERN PAC, SUED
 FOR $1,OOO,OOO Kentucky Claims That Amount
 Due for Taxes AN INTERESTING QUESTION Road Owns No Property In That State, But Is Kentucky Corporation and Taxes Are Claimed on
 the Franchise.
 
AN INTERESTING QUESTION

Louisville, Ky, May 11.-suit for s1,- 100000 taxes against the Southern Pacific Railroad company was filed in the Jeff ferson County court here today by w. l.. Wheller, Jr., revenue agent for the state of Kentucky, the petition alleging that that corporation had not paid taxes on It's personality in five years and that s1,OO0OOO was now due the state.
 The Southern Pacific is a Kentucky corporation, having a serving agent re- siding in Beechmont, suburb of this city, but aside from the franchise ob- tained to give it corporation existence, and such stock and bonds as may be held by individuals. owns no property in this state.
 The suit is based purely on its fran chise rights, embodied in the power to own stocks, bonds and other personality. The petition alleges that in 1898 the com pany owned personal property to the value of $75, ,OO0, GOO; in 1899 and 1900, $S7,- 275,500, and in 1901 1t had increased this to $92, 2S5, 300, which was the amount own ed on September 15. 1902, the day on which the state taxes are due.
 Under the statutes failure or refusal to pay taxes subjects the delinquent to 20 per cent penalty. This penalty Is added to the general assessment of taxes on property alleged to be held by the South ern Pacific in this state.
 In it's prayer the petition asks the court to assess the defendant all taxes and penalties now due and unpaid.

Railroads File Answer.

Washington. May 1.-The International and Great Northern and the St. Louis Southwestern railroads have filed with the interstate commerce commission an- swers to the commission calling for in- formation regarding class and commodity rates from St. Louis to Texas common points. Both lines admit making certain advances in their special or commodities rates but deny the advances were ma terial or that they were made to earn an unreasonable revenue. The International and Great Northern alleges that its cost of construction, operation, etc, has in- creased from to 75 per cent; that to re- construct the bridge improvement will cost upward of $70O,000, and ayers It's net earnings for the three months ending March 31, 1903, were largely decreased The other road makes similar allega- lions
