RAILWA SUBJECT TO
PERSONAL TAXES
Receive Unfavorable Report From
Counsel on B. & P. Protest

Arthur H. G'TonDOr. Assistant Corpor-
alton Counsel, has forwarded to the Dis
trict Commissioners an unfavorabIe
opinion upon the protest of the Balti-
more and Potomac Railroad Company
against the assessment of personal
property made by the Board OF Assistant
Assessors. In brief. Mr.. O'Connor ad-
vises the Commissioners that the pro-
test OF the company - not well taken.
and the assessment as made by the
board is legal.
The protest was filed by F. ID. McKen-
ney. counsel for the company. and It
appears from his statement that within
the time required by law the company
returned a list OF the taxable property
in its possession. The amount OF such
property was valued BY the company at
S25. .041.19. In November OF last year this
return was rejected by the Board of As
sistant Assessors. and an assessment
levied against the company on property
valued at $4,000.
Mr.. McKenney declared that the addi-
tional assessment made by the board
was made up of property not properly
taxable under the law. This point was
argued at length by Mr.. McKenney. and
reviewed by Mr.. OConnor.
The contention OF the company was
that articles OF tangible property not
expressly mentioned In paragraph 2 OF

OConnor replies that while that rule OF
construction has been recognized by the
courts. il is by no means Of universal
application. He says II there is such a
rule. il is subject TO so many restric-
tons and exceptions as TO be practically
void. Mr.. O'ConnOr then quotes from
the statute law, and reaches the con-
clUsion that the classes of property the
company seeks to exempt are included
in the letter and intent OF the law. He
applies phrase in the law "on all tan
gible personal property. assessed at a

cmptions provided in this section" as

R0DEY SEEKS BALM FOR
HIS DISAPPOINT MENT
Member From New Mexico Calls on
President Seeking Appointment.

Delegate ROdey, OF New Mexico. called
upon the President at the White House
Offices this morning regarding an ap-
pOintment for a constituent. This is the
only balm he has in sight for the great
he feels in the defeat Of
the ambitious plans OF the Westerners
for Statehood for New Mexico. He had
no hesitancy In expressing his BELLE,
that a great mistake had been made in
not accepting the compromise PROPOSE
tion on statehood as the best that could
be gotten at this time.
1t was disgraceful, " said Mr. Rodey,
that such speeches should be made
against the people of New Mexico by
Senators in the course of debate. Why.
II the people in the Territories had been
half as bad as they were pictured by
Senator Nelson and Senator Depew, they
would have come on here to Washing
ton and have treated them 20 an exhibi-
tion OF what they could do. But. no
they are such law-abiding citizens that
they have simply borne all the insults
which have been put upon them. State
hood is only delayed. not beaten. New
Mexico will become a great State. while
Arizona will be absorbed and lose its
identity"
