VICTORY OVER RAILROAD
Federal Court Decides G. N. Must Pay
Per cent Tax ON Newer Lines.

St Paul. July 11.--Judge Lewis to-
day filed in the district court his de-
cision in the case OF the state of MIN
nesota against the Great Northern
Railway company, in which the state
sought to compel the company TO pay
the 4 per cent gross earnings tax un-
der the state law of 1908.
The, railway company had paid the
per cent gross earnings tax but
claimed that ii was exempt from the
4 per cent atx under law and agree
ment with the territorial legislature OF
May %, 1887, by which 1t was to pay
Y per cent tax in lieu of all other
claims OF the kind by the state.
The old road OF the territorial days
was known as the Minnesota and Pa
cific Since then the road has built
many lines and acquired others. Judge
Lewis finds that the original lines are
exempt under the charter and agree
ment from paying any greater tax than
per cent, but that the other lines
must pay per cent
