FORFEIT CHARTER
OF MANITOBA ROAD
ATTORNEY GENERAL BEGINS Ac.
TIoN IN THE STATE SUPREME
COURT.
COMPLETE VICTORY FOR STATE
PROPOSED seoyooo,ooo STOCK IN.
CREASE is STOPPED By AN
INJUNCTION.

ST. Paul, Jan. 27.-Attorney General
Young has commenced action in the
supreme court to forfeit the charter OF
the St. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba
railroad. The Great Northern is hid
ing behind this charter in its fight
:gains, the per cent gross earnings
law If the state can forfeit that char.
ter there will be no question left about
the obligation Of the Hill system to
pay the full per cent rate. The at.
torney general also declares 1t his
purpose to retire IL large amount OF
stock issued at the time of the Great
Northern lease in 1890, which he
claims is water"
No Longer Railroad.
The attorney generals ground for
ac,icn is that the Manitoba is no Ion
ger railroad; that the lease of 1890
ended its existence except as a legal
fctiCn.
The attorney general says:
Gross Earnings Tax.
The Great Northern has all along
claimed that It. is exempt from the op-
Grafton Of the gross earnings tax be-
cause it claims that the original char
ter of the Minnesota & Pacific pro.
vided that it should never be called
upon to pay more than 3 Der cent on
its gross earnings. The Manitoba
company claims to have acquired the
same immunity by purchase. We are
convinced that the speediesi way to
dispose Of this claim to exemption is
to wipe out the Manitoba charter
and compel the Great Northern to pay
the per cent tax the same as The.
other roads.
If the state wins it's sui, the Great
Northern must pay an additional tax
amounting to $4,000 for 1905, about
$4,000 for 1906, and the stock OF the
Great Northern company to an
amount not less than $19,OOO,0OO, all
paying z per cent dividends. will be-
come worthless.
