tions. In a note II is explained that 'the
value submitted was determined not with
view to discovering a proper purchase
price for the railways of the United States
nor as basis for taxing these railway
properties, but as one step in ascertaining
for the census bureau the total wealth Of
the United States.
Whether or not" the note continues,
"the value submitted represents the value
upon which the railways of the United
States might properly be taxed depends
upon whether the state undertakes to tax
the roads at their full commercial values,
including the values of both tangible and
intangible property, or whether It seeks to
conflne it's taxation to the value of the
tangible property alone. In the former
case the value submitted is believed to be
substantially correct, so far as It concerns
the operating properties of the railways; in
the latter case 1t is too high"
