MORE COME in.
Five Railroads File Reports
With Tax COmmis siOner.
Nearly All of Them Show Big
Increase in Valuations.

Five more railroads made their pro-
perty report to the state tax commits
sion today. The names of the roads,
the amount upon which they were as
sessed last year and the amount they
think they ought to be assessed on
this year, are as follows:

The Rock Island and Orient each ad-
nit their property is worth about four
times what it was assessed at in 1907.
The st. Joseph & Grand Island will be
willing to come in at double last years
valuation, while the Frisco thinks if
it is raised about two and a half times
it will be properly assessed. The Kan
sas City Western, which is the cleo
trio line between Kansas City and
Leavenworth, thinks that it should be
left about where 1t was last year. 1t
reports merely the usual nominal IN
crease, apparently on the theory that 1T
was assessed at full value in 1907.
Some of these railroad officials who
are swearing that their reports con-
corning the value of their property are
correct may get mixed up in a per-
jury trial if they are not careful A
private citizen is liable to be hauled
over the Goals for swearing to false
statements, about his property. Why
not a railroad official?
Bale p. Waggener, attorney for the
Missouri Pacific, accompanied by ]. M.
Chisham, of Atchison, called upon the
tax commission this morning to con-
suit with the commissioners about GER
tain features of the Missouri Pacific
report. Mr.. Waggener is the man who
gave it out as his opinion that the
state tax commission had no authority
to assess property because the senate
failed to pass the tax commission law
properly. When he was asked con-
corning his statement this morning he
said:
well, a fellow must have little fur
now and then. That discovery GER
tainly made people talk, didn't II?
The reports which are made by the
railroad COMPANIES are merely the
| railroad company's own estimate OF it,
value. The tax commission gets an
| other guess. It takes the long lists o.
buildings, tracks, material and tools
and goes through them, placing its owl
valuation upon each item. 1t is gen
orally expected that the tax commits
| sion will make some decided increases
| in the valuation which the railroads
themselves recommend.

lions placed by the Rock Island, F'rlsct

TURNS DOWN BONDS.
State Auditor Nation Questions Le-
gality of Kansas City Issue.

State Auditor James Nation this
morning refused to register an issue
of $115.000 worth of Kansas City,
Kan, refunding bonds brought here
by George Foerschler, city clerk, on
the grounds that the special act of
the legislature under which the bonds
are issued is unconstitutional.
This will leave Kansas City, Kan,
in a bad hole, for it has Sis, 900 out
standing in floating debt, which it
wanted to clean up with this bond is
sue.
State Auditor Nation will probably
be mandamused by Kansas City to
compel him to register the bonds, and
the case will go into the supreme
court City Clerk Foerschler had a
long conversation this morning over
the telephone with the city attorney
expressed the opinion that Auditor
Nation is wrong in his position.
The act under which Kansas City
is trying to issue bonds to pay its
floating debt-otherwise known as
current expenses-was passed at the
special session of the legislature 1t
provided that any city of the first
class of over $1,000 population might
issue bonds to take up its floating
debt, and further provided that no
debts should be taken up which
were contracted subsequent to Jan
uary 1. These various limitations are
such, according to Auditor Nation,
that they absolutely limit the act to
Kansas City, Kan, and that being
limited to one town, the act is ella SIS
legislation, and unconstitutional
when register bonds" said Audi
tor Nation today, Il have to certify
that the bonds are legally issued. I'm
der the facts as they appear to me, ]
don't see how 1 can place that GER
ti6cate on the bonds. 1 believe the
special act is invalid
City Clerk Foerschler said as he
sadly replaced the big packages OF
bonds in his grip and prepared to
leave the auditors office: I'VE have
gone to great expense and trouble tc
Issue these bonds. of course we dislike
very much to let them go. I don't
know what the city will do, or wheth-
er we will bring any proceedings"
Asked to explain why the city OF
Kansas City is SO far in the hole fol
Its current expenses, Mr.. Foerschlel
said: TT Is due in part to the fact thai
we have no income from the JOINTS
This is the second time that Kansa.
City has attempted to take care Of
its floating debt. The regular session
of the legislature allowed the city t.
issue $4,000 worth of bonds to re
fund the floating debt, and now tn,
same city is back here asking TO
permission to issue $115,00O more.
