stances assessed in 1908 far above its
actual value, Judge Cotteral of the
Western. and Judge Campbell of the
Eastern Oklahoma United States court
districts, yesterday presided at joint
session OF the circuit courts OF both
districts to hear arguments in the fifty
cases by the Santa Fe. NJ. K. & t. and
other railroads against the state as
sessment and equalization board, in
which the grounds set up for asking
injunctions to prevent the collection
of 1908 taxes against the railroads. is
that the railroads are assessed fully
40 per cent higher, proportlonatelv.
than other property
Attorney General West announced
to the court that he had reached an
agreement with the Fort Smith &
Western which probably would result
in that line withdrawing from the suit,
the cases to be continued until the
agreement was ratified. The action
Of the state board Of equalization in
reducing the main line assessment Of
this road from $4,000 to $4,000 per
mile probably is the cause for the
withdrawal from suit attacking the
board
The railroad attorneys filed 66 affi-
dayits from that many county clerks
of the state showing that the 20 per
cent cut last year in the assessed value
of private property by the board OF
equalization amounted to sl0S,0O0,0 900,
which was fully that much lower,
they claim, than the value of the prop
erty assessed. This cut was made,
they contend, to place the burden of
taxation upon the railroads and other
corporations.
The attorney general filed general
demurrer and took up the entire aft
ernoon in argument

his latter days. He has no relatives
and his condition makes him almost
helpless. He is nearly blind, and can
walk only when assisted.
