form no harm is done. All are treated
alike and equality is preserved.
Railroads an Exception.
There is only one exception to this
rule and that is in the case of railroad
property. Railroad property has never
paid its just proportion of taxes in
this state. Sometimes it has paid more
and sometimes less, but it has never
at any time paid as much as it ought to
have paid.
AT one time in this state it paid
taxes On about one-fourteenth of it's
true value. That was under the re-
publican administration prior to 1897.
Railroad property was then assessed at
the rate of s4,S25 per mile,
AT another time it paid taxes on
der the administration of the late la
mented and ever to be remembered
Governor John R. Rogers, when the as
sessment was raised to $40. 500 per mile.
The year after Governor Rogers
second election, he having been the
only democrat elected, the assessment
was dropped by the republican board
of equalization to about One-tenth of
the true value of railroad property, OF
$4,000 per mile. This year, under the
clamor of the people, the assessment
has been raised to a little over 1920
the true cash value.
This is a most startling state of af-
fairs and l have yet to hear any man
give a sound and valid reason for any
such remarkable discrimination.
The private citizen pays taxes on
seven tenths of the values of his prip-
erty The railroads pay taxes on one
ninth of the value OF their property.
Who can defend such outra geous dis
elimination?
Have the railroads worked harder
for their property than you or l? Do
they enjoy it less? Do they receive
less protection for it at the hands of
the state? If not, who that is not in
the pay of the railway corporations,
or does not expect political prefer
ment as the result of their powerful
influence. will attempt to defend a
system of railway taxation so unfair,
unjust, unequal and iniquitous as that
which | have disclosed to you?

THE CHAMPION LOSES.
James Britt Given the Decision
Over young COrbett."
He Was Heavily Punished, Vet Was
at All Times Willing to Take
More, and Finally Outgamed
the Champion.

San Francisco, March 26.-James
Britt, of California, was given the de-
cision Friday night over William
Rothwell, better known as Young Cor
Sett, of Colorado, in a 20-round con-
test at Woodward's pavilion.
Up to the 18th round Corbett's adj
vantage was apparent, but in that
round Britt rallied and rained right
and left blows on various portions Of
COrbett's anatomy, forcing the cham
pion to clinch to save himself The
styles of the two boxers were entirely
distinctive. Britt fought for the body
most of the time, while Corbett de-
voted his attack for the head, face
and jaw Britt weighed just 129
pounds, but Corbett's weight was not
made public, though it is understood
was at least a pound and a half be-
low the agreed weight, $50 pounds.
Both men fought hard in every
round Britt, in his crouching atti-
tude, was able to guard his stomach
effectively though Corbett was able
to land hard on his head and jaw.
In the first few rounds Britt found the
Denver mans stomach repeatedly,
though his blows lacked steam.
It was without doubt the greatest
fight fought in California. Britt's
ability to assimilate punishment and
his endurance were simply marvellous.
At no time during the 20 rounds did
Britt break ground. He always
brought the fight to Corbett, who was
breaking ground and clinching most
of the time. Britt was heavily pun
isked yet was at all times willing to
take more, and finally outgamed the
champion. The pace that both men
set was Of a nature to make both
men tire. However, their condition
brought them, after a minutes respite,
