CONTENTION ARISES
OVER BRIDGE TAXES
State and Railroad Company
Take Issue as to the
Proper Assessment.
GROUNDS FOR DIFFERENCES
ATTORNEY GENERAL TAKES THE
POSITION THAT THE BRIDGE is
NOT LOCAL BUT is IN FACT A
RAILROAD.

Questions relative to the right OF
the state board of tax commissioners
to tax the big interstate bridge COM
panies of the southern part of the
state are brought to the attention of
the supreme court, in brief filed by
Henry NJ. Bowling, of the attorney
generals Office.
This case concerns the Louisville
and Jeffersonviile bridge, which was
assessed by the state board of tax
commissioners because of its function
as a railroad. 1t has been so assessed
ever since it was built, in 1891, and no
objection was ever urged before, as
the brief shows. The assessment
this year, however, was thought to be
high by the company owning and oper-
ating the bridge, ana suit was brought
to enjoin the city of Jeffersonville
from collecting it's city taxes under
the valuation that the state board
made. The company got a temporary
restraining order, and from this the
city appealed to the supreme court.
Two Grounds for Denial.
The bridge company has two
grounds for its denial of the right of
the state board. In the first place, all
bridges should be assessed locally, ac-
cording to the company's contention;
and in the second place the state
board even though il had the right TO
make the assessment, had no right 70
import from the Kentucky side some
of the value of the Kentucky termin-
ais and consider those terminals as
part of the value of the Indiana side
of the structure.
In the brief, Mr.. Bowling takes the
position that this bridge is not a local
bridge. but is, in fact, railroad. The
bridge company is railroad company
according to the brief. All of its stock
is held by the Chesapeake & Ohio and
the Big Four, according to the evil
dence. These roads Duiit the bridge
guaranteed its bonds. use the bridge
for their own purposes, etc.
Mr. Bowling insists, too, that the
state board not only has the right TO
tax this bridge, but also has the right
to take into consideration the value OF
the Kentucky terminals in making the
valuation of the Indiana side.

months with a summer cold so dis

to only aggravate my case. Fortu-

is NO ESCAPE FROM TRIAL.
1T WILL BE NECESSARY FOR THE
ALLEGED BRlBERS TO FACE
THE MUSIC DECISION DE-
STROYS THEIR HOPE.

San Francisco. Cal. Sept. 24t-The
supreme court decided that the grand
jury which returned graft indictments
against many municipal officials and
officers Of private corporations is le-
gal body. The effect Of this decision
will be to force all the bride takers and
bride givers to trial.
The attack on the validity of the in
dictment was the last hope they had of
avoiding their day in court. Among the
most prominent men affected by this
Patrick Calhoun president of the Unit
ed railroads; Theodore " Halsey of the
Pacific States Telephone and Tele-
graph company, A X Detwiler, Will
liam NJ. Abbott, w. |. Brobeck. ]. E.
Green, c. II. Umbsens and others.
No Hope for New Trials.
This decision also destroys the main
hope that the grafters already convict
ed had of getting new trials. Among
these men are ex-Mayor Eugene E.
Schmitz and Abraham Reuf the polit-
ical boss.
District Attorney Langdon said:
'Of course we are delighted that the
work of the party has not come to
naught and that the supreme court has
found no purely technical obstruction
in our path. The decision of the court
means that these cases are now to be
on hair ,arifc Ia f
big question of law which could be rails
ed by the defense having been resolved
in our favor. We will now proceed
as fast as possible to bring those in
dicted to trial and see that justice is
melted out to each one"
Heney Expected the Victory.
Assistant District Attorney Francis
J. Heney had the following to say:
'The decision of the supreme court
today upholding the validity of the
grand jury is right in line with all our
contentious and is what the prosecu-
ton has confidently expected. 1t
means that the last important legal
bubble of the defense has been swept
away. While we have proceeded with
the trial of those indicted as fast as
possible, this decision will help to SIM
plify our course.
ANY other decision would have been
deplorable and would have been a great
injury to the city at home and abroad
OF course we could have empanneled
another jury and gone through the
work of presenting the evidence and Sc
curing indictments again, but it would
have meant delay and in many cases
perhaps defeat of Justice

Since Monday very little grain has
been marketed in Langdon. Farmers
have sold about all they intend to until
after the ground is frozen so they car

prices have dropped off elevator agents
have received orders not to buy or ship
out any grain while the market is so un
settled. Barley today is less than hall
what it was two weeks ago and wheat is
worth at least 80 cents less than it was
at that time.

quite a preceptible~ improvement in the
condition of the local grain market.
