STATE SENATOR DID THAT, IT is
ALLEGED, AND NOW THERE'S
TROUBLE.
Prosecuting Attorney Rhoton Sues tn
Iron Mountain for $4,000
Damages Therefor.

Little Rock, Sept 27.-Chargine
Southern railroad furnished free
transportation to a certain member OF
the state senate during the last ses.
sion of the general assembly, Prose
cutting Attorney Rhcton brought suit
esterday against the railroad for $2,.
O00 the maximum penalty imposed by
the law. which prohibits rilroads from
giving free passes to any state Off.
cial Prosecuting Attorney Rhoton
has withheld the name of the senator
who is alleged to have received the
transportation, but states in his COM
plant that he will furnish the name
of the senator to the railroad company
upon request of the latter.
Mr.. Rhoton bases his suit upon Sec
tions 1894 and 6695 of Kirbys digest,
which forbid railroad or transporta-
tion companies to give free passes to
any state official, legislative. executive
or judicial.
In connection with the filing of the
suit it is recalled that the Arkansas
railroad commission, at it's last meet
ing, issued an order requiring all rail
roads in the state to present to the
commission list of all free trans
portation issued during the current
year. These lists are to be submitted
before the next meeting of the COM
mission. None of the railroads in
the state has yet given the commission
the desired information.

ton to the Office and is always present
to do his duty. His strict personal in

RIGHT AFTER RAILROADS
UNCLE CHARLEY WE'LL DISCOVERS ROADS ARE PAYING
TAXES ON BUT SMALL PoR rRAckAeE
PROCEEDS WHAT CAN BE DONE TO
"coME

Alderman Chas. We'll is right after
the railway companies in the matter
of taxation. At the special session of
the city council held last Monday
night, Alderman We'll introduced a
resolution calling upon the city engi
neer to make a complete and careful
survey of the tracks of the St. Louis,
Iron Mountain and Southern, the St.
Louis Southwestern, and the Pine
Bluff and Western railways in this
city. The resolution was adopted
unanimously. Back OF this action lies
story both interesting and instruc
tive.
Just what first got Alderman We'll
awake to the situation is unknown,
but it is also a matter of Indifference
to the point in question. Suffice to say
that Alderman We'll did get awake,
and began an investigation into the
aii"iis VI tne e"o tiuHk lines OF rail-
way entering the city that resulted in
his becoming convinced that there was
a leakage in the matter of taxes some.
where. some way and some how. By
consulting the books of the county
assessor he found that the Cotton Belt,
or the st. Louis Southwestern, was
laying taxes on nearly three miles of
trackage in the city limits. That was
all right. But he found. upon further
investigation, that the Iron Mountain

was paying taxes On but one mile of
trackage in the city limits. AS the
two roads practically parallel each
other through the city, Alderman We'll
failed to see how it was done. Hence
his resolution in the council last Mon.
day night.
Mr.. We'll says the Iron Mountain
has been paying taxes on only one
mile of trackage in the city for the
past three years. He fails to under
stsA d by what arithmetical process
the railway company comes to the
conclusion that three miles of track
age can resolve itself into one.
The assessment of railway proper
ties is made by the state board of
assessment at Little Rock--not by the
county assessor-and it is to that
body the matter will doubtless be car
ried in the event that the city engi-
neer finds that the Iron Mountain has
more than one mile of trackage in
the city. If found that the company
has been lodging taxes during the
past three years, there is every prob
ability that suit will be instituted to
collect back taxes as we'll as the cur
rent taxes against the company. While
the aggregate would not make the city
rich, yet it will make difference of
several hundred dollars in the revenue
from taxation, and Alderman We'll
says every little hit helms
