Railroads Win Bio Suit.


The Wisconsin supreme court hand
ed down decisions in a number of I'M
portant cases and then adjourned Tor
the summer. The state railroad cases,
in which the state sought to recover
back taxes on unreported gross earn
ings for a period of 90 years, were re-
versed, and the state will be able TO
collect only for a period OF six years
prior to the beginning of the suits.
The court decision in the railroad
suits concludes as follows I'VE are
led to the conclusion that the COM
plant must be sustained as good and
sufficient in equity for an accounting
and discovery as to the causes OF ac-
ton which accrued subsequent to
February 4, 1899 and that the addl'
tional requirements Of section 3, chap
ter 32S, laws of 1905, are properly i'm
posed on defendants in an action for
the collection of any unpaid portion
of the license tax. The demurrer
should have been sustained to all
causes of action set out in the COM
plant which were barred by the
statute Of limitation and overruled as
to all causes of action not so barred.
The order overriding the demurrer to
the complaint must therefore be re-
versed and the cause remanded with
directions to enter an order in &C.
