AFTER BACK TAKES.
btate VIII BE Rich II tho Revenue
AGENT Wins These Suits.

If the State revenue agent, WIFI
Adams. is successful in the move
ment to recover back taxes from the
packing companies and brewing as
sociations doing refrigerator car
business in this State, Mississippi
will be able to rent out the present
new capitol as a sort Of cheap !
shanty and construct a palatial cap
itol building such as would rival the |
palaces told Of in the Arabian
Nights.
The revenue agent claims back
taxes against these concerns for thlr-
teen years from 1890 to 1903, both
State and county. The aggregate
amount of the valuation on which
these taxes are claimed is $219,-
100000.
The taxes are assessable in every
county in which the companies de-
liver goods.
Mr.. Adams says there is no ques-
ton whatever about the liability of
the concerns for the back taxes, as
the question has been in the Su-
preme Court of the United States
and it has been held that the prop
crty is assessablc for taxes where
the concerns ship their own refrlg-
orator cars into the State, employ
ing the railroads merely to deliver
the cars at destination. He will
bring suits III every county where
deliveries have been made for the
Estate and county taxes for thirteen
, years past. The assessment is made
on the valuation of the rolling stock
employed by the companies in de-
livering the goods. The assessment
which has been filed in Kinds
3 county, and which is the same in all
The counties in which goods have
= been delivered, is as follows:
