Madison, Feb IA.
John A. Murphy of St. Paul, attor-
ney for the Great Northern railroad
corporation, appeared yesterday after
noon before the state tax commission
objecting to the preliminary assess
ment of the property of his corpora
ton and allied roads in this state. He
contended among other things, that
the assessment of the allied roads
ought not to be made separately, but
which they were in reality part. He
would assess them as a part of the
roads to which thAy belonged, accord
ing to the stock ownership. To this
demand Commissioner Curtis said
Then these roads would not be as
sessed at ALL"
THAT would be the logical conclu
sion" replied Mr.. Murphy. He cited
decision of the supreme court of
Minnesota, which he thought sus-
tanned his contention against the sep
arate assessment of the property of
subsidiary roads of a large system
Commissioner Haugen replied that
the cases were DOT parallel; that the
case which was decided by the Mime
sofa court was a case under a license
fee or gross earnings assessment law,
and not under an ad valorem assess
ment tatute such as is had in Wiscon-
sin He said that the court held that
there were no gross earnings on a
certain union depot and that it ought
to be included in the property on
which the roads paid taxes on their
gross earnings; but in Wisconsin the
law directs the tax commission to as
certain the real value of the property
itself The Minnesota court held that
the union depot was taxed in the sys-
! TEN of license fees on gross earnings
but did not decide that the union de.
pot was of no value of itself.
