Jackson, Dec. 31.-Unless present
bright prospects 60 away, il will not
be necessary for the coming session
of the legislature TO make the million
dollar bond issue which has been an
itcipated for the past several months
on account of the low tide OF the
states cash caused by the heavy pay
ments for work on the new state
house.
From direct sources it is learned
that several Of the large packing
houses, oil companies and refrigerator
lines recently assessed by State Rev
enue Agent Adams for back taxes on
their private rolling stock, aggrega-
ting between 81. coo. goo and $3, 3,00o,-
900, have concluded to pay up without
making legal fight. The attorneys
for these concerns have carefully ex-
amined the law on the subject, es-
pecially the decision of the United
States supreme court in tha case
against the Pullman Palace Car Com
pany, and have concluded that there
is no loop hole Of escape or posi- bic
method of avoiding payment. The
states share Of these collections VIII
be at least one million dollars, If they
are made on the present basis. Some
differences will probably arise be-
tween the revenue agent and the COM
panies AS to the number of cars TO be
asses sed and the value Of each car,
but it il be,ieved that amicable adj
iustments can be reached without
resorts to the courts. and that al of
the companies will eventually reach
the same conclusion on the subject.
The blow is heavy one for the
corporations, as they are liable for
the payment of the same III every
other state in the union having sim
liar revenue laws, and many millions
will be paid out before they settle all
of their back tax obligations
