Court Decides Railroads Must Pay
Back Taxes and Penalties.
STATE WINS SUIT.

Court Decides Railroads Must Pay
Back Taxes and Penalties.
| The state won the penalty cases
| against the Chicago e Northwestern !;
| Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul; Chi
cago, ST. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha,
and the Minneapolis, ST. Paul & Sault
Ste. Marie railroads.
Judge Stevens, in the Dane county
district court, has filed his decision
in these cases. The court finds that
the state is entitled to recover from
these railroads $4,000, as these rail
roads admitted they fa1sified their re-
ports of gross earnings made to the
state for the year of 1902. The rail-
way companies will appeal
The state still has an action against
these same railroads to recover penal
ties upon the reports of earnings made
for the year 1908
The state has penalty suits also
against the Wisconsin Central railway,
the Green Bay & Western, the Chi
cago, Burlington & Quincy and the
Illinois Central On the basis of the
last decisions, and on what is known
of the reports of the earnings filed
for the years of 1902 and 1903, upon
which these railroads pay license fees
for the years 1903 and 1904, the state
would be entitled to recover in pen
alties total of 100000.
These recoveries of penalties total
only a small portion of what the rail
roads will be compelled to pay to the
state. On gross earnings wrongfully
withheld they still owe the state
per cent upon the total amount of
gross earnings, which will amount to
more than half million of dollars.

EXPLAINS CIGARETTE LAW.
Attorney General Declares Papers Can
be Imported in Original Packages.

Attorney General Declares Papers Can
be Imported in Original Packages.
In response to an inquiry from the
TwOhy-Eimon Mercantile company of
Superior as to whether it was a VIOLA
tiOn of the anti-cigarette law to ship
cartons Of tobacco and cigarette pa
per to customers within the state, the
packages being in their original form
as brought into the state, the attorney
general replied that in his opinion it
was not violation of the law to i'm
port packages of tobacco containing
cigarette paper and dispose of them
in their original form. If the pack
ages were not in their original form
as brought into the state, the attorney
general holds that to dispose of them
by sale or gift would be violation of
the law. He suggests, however, that
in order to fully protect itself the
company would better direct the
wholesalers from whom it purchases
to remove the cigarette paper from
packages of tobacco intended for sale
in Wisconsin.-W.

looking well. Rye is now being har-
vested and haying is in full progress.
