ed by the defendant that the steam line,
with the main, double and side tracks
form composite line or system whose
length should be reckoned as the num-
Der of miles operated, within the mean
ing of the statute, but the State assess
| ors determined the amount Of the tax
OF the basis Of the length of single
track of the whole lines and double and
side tracks.
The question presented is the legal
siSnihcatiOn of the words railroad
line or system in the statute estab-
fishing the tax.
The finding of the court is summed
| up as follows: 1.-THE physical condi-
lions governing the operation of other
transportation companies are unlike
these pertaining to railroads. and it
might be ineQuitabIe to fix the amount
OF an excise tax upon them by the
same rules. Steamboat lines instead
of passing over territory for which
states may impose tax. pass over in
land water or waters of the ocean
whic'. are public highways.
Several states besides Maine have
adopted the mileage basis of apportion-
mcnt III taxing railroads and other
public service companies. This meth
cd has been held by the United States
supreme court as eminently fair and
has been approved in cases decided in
the state courts. These recognize the
fact that there may be exceptional
cases where deductions should be
made to prevent manifest inequality
of value per mile, but hold generally
that a railroad may be considered
unit so far as to be capable of far
proportional subdivision measured by
miles.
s.rbo case under considerable is one
where the length of the line of steam
boat transportation and of the double
and side tracks would be excluded IN
computing the franchise tax.
1.-THE spirit and intention Of the stat
ute evidently are to include only the
miles of single track of railroad lines
operated as such. Judgment for the
plaintiff"
