JUSTICE HARLAN READS DECISION

Western Are Railroads Which
Must Settle Deficit.

Washington, D. G. - The state Of
Minnesota won complete victory
over the Great Northern and Great
Western Railway companies when the
supreme court of the United States af-
firmed the decision of the state court
holding that the railroads were liable
to per cent gross earnings tax.
AS a result of decisions by the
United States supreme court in the
4 per cent gross earnings tax cases.

added to the states income each year.
Judgments for more than 100000 in
back taxes will be Immediately enter

Great Western railroads. The judg-

the state.
The decision was announced by JUS

DRAG $1,000 FROM LAKE.
Upper Mssissippi's Largest Hau!
Made Near WaterviIIe.

Red Wing.-What is believed to be
the largest single haul Of rough fish
by seine on the upper Mississippi in
land lakes was made by David Gaut-
enbein at Tetonka Lake, near Water
vile. By means of 1900 feet of seine
and the assistance of crew of seven
men he hauled in 100 tons.
Most of the fish were of the buffalo
species and they were unusually large.
One of the fish topped the scales at
forty-seven and half pounds.
The afternoons work netted Mr..
Gautenbein $780, He states he
would have made a still larger haul
had his seine not come in contact
with heavy snags. One end of it was
partly destroyed and several tons of
fish escaped.
Mr.. Gautenbein is one of the most
successful rough fishermen in the
country. He resides at Diamond
Bluff, Wis, twelve miles up the river
from Red Wing.
Last winter he made another prize
haul up the river when he gathered in
$4,000 pounds of rough fish. 1t was
rather an expensive haul for him,
however, as his entire crew worked
two months in cleaning out the snags
from the river bottom. Seven large
cars were required to ship the fish to
Eastern points.
The fish are simply thrown in
rough boxes and are not packed. 1t
is said by many the rough fish are
canned in the East and prepared as
salmon. Fish buyers, however, state
the fish are sold in the rough in the
Jewish settlements in metropolitan
cities.

the road was taxed and the claim Of
the Great Northern that this legisla.
ton constituted a contract with the
state, under which the rate of taxa
ton could not be increased as pro-
vided in the per cent law.
The Great Northern and Great Wes-
tern tax cases arose out of the 4 per
cent gross earnings law of 1903. Prior
to the passage of that law all Mime
sofa railroads had paid per cent of
their gross earnings in the state, as
taxes, and in lieu of all other taxes
and assessments. The Great Western
on it's main line from st. Paul to the
Iowa line had paid only per cent,
claiming that its territorial charter
exempted it from paying higher rate
on that line.
This and a similar Great Northern
charter were used as arguments
against the per cent bill, which was
fathered session after session by ]. F.
Jacobson, and finally passed by the
ton required that it be ratified by a
majority of all the votes at the next
election. In 1902 it failed of that ma
jority, but the 1893 legislature passed
it again, and in the 1904 election it
was ratified, taking effect on the 1905
taxes.
When these taxes became due in the
spring of 1906, the Great Northern
Railway company paid the per cent
on the line covered by the old Mime
sofa & Pacific charter of 1857, and
refused to pay the balance, which was
$120,737.38. The old charter was
claimed to be an irrevocable contract
binding the state.
A similar position was taken by the
Great Western. The Minnesota G.
Northwestern charter of 1855 had linn.
tied taxes on that line to 2 per cent,
and the modern company claimed the
rights of successor. 1t refused to
pay the additional $24,979.62 claimed
by the state for 1905.
The state brought suit against both
companies for the balance due and the
legal penalties. The district court of
Ramsey county decided for the de-
tense, but the state supreme corut
Justice Calvin l.. Brown, writing the
opinion, reversed the decision. The
supreme court held that the com
panies did not have any contract right
to the lower tax rate, but that the
state had the right to levy any rea'
sonable rate of tax on their systems
From this the defendants went to the
United States supreme court on a
writ of error.
