RAILROADS. MUST PAY TAX.
Decision of Justice PItney UNFOLDING
Perkins New Jersey Law.

Trenton, N. j., Aug. 7.-Justice
Pitney, of the supreme court, to-day
filed an opinion unfolding the consti-
tutionality of the Perkins tax law,
which provides for taxing the main
item of railroad property at the aver
age tax rate Of the state Heretofore
the railroads have paid only fifty
cents per 500 on the valuations of
the main items of their property, and
this decision of Justice Pitney means
that they will now be compelled to
pay about $3.50 per 500, which was
the average tax rate for 1906 This
decision means that the railroads OPP
Grating in this state will have to pay
about So, 100000 more in taxes than
they ever did before.
The Perkins law was passed in
1906. The railroads attacked its con-
stitutionality ON the ground that it
was an unfair segregation of the class
of property, and also that it was a
violation of the fourteenth amend
ment of the federal constitution. Two
writs of certiorari were taken out to
test the law. Justice Pitney puts the
cost of the litigation on the railroads
The principles involved are largely
the same as those established in the
opinion of the court of errors and APP
peals, handed down last1Monday, sus.
tanning the method of taxing second.
class railroad property. Under the
combined decision of last Monday and
to-day the taxes on railroad property
will be raised between 100000 ant
| $1,000, 600 a year.
