RAILROADS MUST PAY UP
UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT
GIVES OPINION.

Burlington against Babcock, Union
Pacific against Fink, affirmed, with
costs taxed against appellants, signed
by Clerk James H. Mckinney, of the
United States supreme court a tele-
gram received yesterday by Attorney
General w. T. Thompson, told the story
OF the folly of the two leading rail-
roads in Nebraska and the result of
their resistance of the payment of
taxes levied in Nebraska for the past
three years. Tt told the story of the
victory of the people over corporations
in the highest tribunal i'll the land. 1t
told of the loss of prestige, influence
and treasure by the railroads IT pre-
sentcd transformation scene. Where
in the past the agents of the railroads
arrogantly rendered to county treasur-
ers what they saw fit to offer in pay
mont Of taxes, it showed the hulnblest
county treasurer in the state armed
with power to enforce collection even
to the seizing of cars and trains and
other property, the same as such Off

hunblest individual who refuses. fails
and neglects to pay his personal tax
Million in Taxes Involved.
The collection of one million dollars
in railroad taxes had been enjoined by
two railroad companies. the Burlington
and the Union Pacific Attorney Gen
eral Norris Brown then in office. as
sisted by his deputy, w. T. Thompson
and his assistant, William r. Rose,
We're delegated TO resist the injunction
Of the railroads and represent the peo-
pie of the state Of Nebraska The state
won in the circuit court OF the United
hnfn TIr1p
terday it won in the supreme court Of
the United States.
AS a result of the injunction of the
two roads, they will be held for the
payment of about $1,000 600 in taxes.
For the three years the railroads will
be compelled to pay more than 100000
in interest to state, county and school
districts. They will be compelled to pay
state taxes alone, at the most conser--
vative estimate, 900
Since the railroads began suit to re-
sist the payment of their taxes under
the increased valuation of all property
the people of Nebraska have submit
ted, voted upon and adopted a consti-
tutional amendment creating an cleo
tive railway commission, the leading
political parties in the state have
adopted platforms asking for legisla-
ton regulating railroads. the ma jority
of the legislature was elected after
standing on such a platform and each
house of the legislature has passed a
tWo-cent fare bill and bills are now
before that body to clothe the railway
commission with power to regulate
roads and still other bills are before it
for the collection of a new tax on
property of railroads situated within
cities and towns.
