eau, of the department of commerce
and labor; G. w. Trowbrdge, chief
OF revenue agents, and Assistant Sec
retary James z. Reynolds of the treas

SUE FOR RETURN
OF TAXES PAID

Denver, Colo, Feb. 15.-Denying the
constitutionality of the state law of
1907, placing a license tax upon cor
porations, the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe railway has filed suit
in the United States circuit court
against former Secretary of State
Timothy O'Connor for $7,62973 This
sum was paid by the railroad on May
2, 1907, under protest, in accordance
with the law which had been passed
but shortly before by the legislature.
In the complaint the company al
leges that in 1899 it filed articles of
incorporation and paid all fines and
taxes then required by law. The lat
ter act concerning the license tax it
claims is Illegal This tax requires
the payment of tax of two cents per
share on every $1,000 of capital stock
in any corporation doing business
within the state. 4,
The act, the company AYERS, IN.
paired all former obligations. In ad-
dition the railroad states that the busi-
ness transacted by it in Colorado is
mostly interstate in character and not
intrastate; and that it does much
business for the fedora. government
in carrying mails. Because of this
the company complains that the IL
cense act is in conflict with article l,
section 8, clause 3. of the United
States constitution.
Secretary of State O'Connor was
several times asked to return the
taxes paid, but refused to do so, as he
naturally had no authority to declare
the act constitutional or unconstitu-
tional

BRINGS SUIT
FOR BACK TAXES

Albuquerque, Feb. 15.-Alleging
nOn-payment of taxes for the year
1906, District Attorney Frank w.
Clancy has filed suits against the FIRST
National Bank, State National Bank
and Bank of Commerce. In addition
to the amount of taxes unpaid, the
county claims interest thereon at 5
per cent.
These suits are the result of the re-
fusal of the banks to pay the taxes
for 1906 upon the basis OF the assess
ment rate fixed by the territorial
board of equalization, the defendants
holding that the rate is not in proper
ton to the assessment against other
classes of property.
