What the Railroads Paw.

what the NallIoaoS ray.
Unless the railroad officials can pre-
vail upon the railroad commission for
radical reductions during the August
meeting of that body, the ad valorem
tax assessments of railroad property for
the year 1909 will exceed $4,000, 900.
This also includes express, telegraph
and telephone companies under the super
vision of the commission, and will be
an increase of nearly $4,000, 900 over the
figures of last year. 1t means 100000
in taxes for the State alone, besides
about an equal amount for the various
counties, and a smaller amount for the
municipalities. This does not include
privilege taxes, Of which the railroads
alone paid last year $~62,443.50, besides
the collections from the express, tele-
graph and telephone companies, all Of
which pay direct to the State auditor.
