UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT
FILES DECISIONS IN GROSS.
EARNINGS CASES. .
HARLAN READS DECISION
$80o,oo0 To Be Paid Into state Treas
ury-ereat Northern and Great
Western Arc Railroads Which
4@ Must Settle Deficit.

Washington, D. G. The state of
Minnesota won a complete victory
over the Great Northern and Great
Western Railway companies when the
supreme court of the United States at
firmed the decision of the state court
holding that the railroads were liable
to per cent gross earnings tax.
AS result of decisions by the
United States supreme court in the
4 per cent gross earnings tax cases,
the treasury of the state of Minnesota
will be Immediately enriched 100000
and approximately 100000 will be
added to the states income each year.
Judgments for more than 100000 in
back taxes will be Immediately enter
ed against the Great Northern and
Great Western railroads. The judy
ments are the largest ever obtained by
the state.
The decision was announced by JUS
tice Harmon, who discussed the ques-
tons at issue very briefly. He
sketched the creation of the Western
Pacific road, which subsequently be-
came a part of the Great Northern
system, the legislatation under which
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.

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 2 per cent,
claiming that it's territorial charter
exempted it from paying a higher rate
on that line.
This and similar Great Northern
charter were used as arguments
against the per cent bill, which was
fathered session after session by J. F.
Jacobson, and finally passed by the
legislature in 1901: But the constitu-
ton required that it be ratified by q
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 c0ui1,I7.::::vS paid the per cent
on the line covered by the old MInn5-
sofa & Pacific charter of 1857, and
refused to pay the balance, which was
S120,737.38. The old charter was
claimed to be an irrevocable contract
binding the state.
A similar position was taken by the
Great Western. The Minnesota &
Northwestern charter of 1856 had linn
tied taxes on that line to 2 per cent,
and the modern company claimed the
rights of successor. It 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
writ of error.

Father died Of pneumonia and she said
ice-water in the finger-bowl did it, and
She wanted to have the butler ar.
rested for murder. She had a new
disease for me every morning. It was
worse than being left with a button
works to draw a stepmother like that.
She ate nothing but hot water and
zweibach herself, and shuddered when
demanded sausage and buckwheat
cakes every day. She caught me one
day clearing up a couple of chickens
and mug OF Bass with the gardener,
and it was all over. She had noticed,
she said, that had been coughing of
late-I was doing few cigarettes too
many, that was all-and wired to New
York for doctors. She had all sorts,
-alienists and pneumogastric
specialists and lung experts.
"The people on Strawberry Hill
thought there was q medical conven.
ton in town. I was kidnapped on the
golf course, where I was about to win
the eastern Connecticut long-drive
cup, and locked up in a dark room at
home for two days while they tested
me. They made all the known tests,

eases that haven't been discovered
yet, and for some that have been ex
t1nct since the days Of Noah. You can
see where that put me. l was afraid
to fight or sulk for fear the alienists
would send me to the madhouse. ]

think that was a symptom, and every
time I asked for food the tape.worm
man looked intelligent and began pre-
scribing, while the rest of them were
terribly chagrined because they hadn't
scored first. The only Joy I got out
of the rumpus was in hitting one of
those alienists damned hard clip in
the ribs, and I'm glad did it. He was
feeling my medulla oblongata at the
moment, and as resent being man.
handled I pasted him one-he was a
young chap, and fair game-I pasted
him one, and then grabbed a suitcase
and slid. I stole away in a clamboat
for New Haven, and kept right on up
into northern Maine, where I stayed
with the Indians until my fathers re-
lfct went off broken hearted to Bad
Neuheim to drink the waters. And
here I am, by the grace of God, in
perfect health and in full control of
the button market Of the world"
"You have undoubtedly been sorely
tried" said as he broke off mournful-
~. In spite of myself I had been en-
tertained. He was undeniably fellow
of curious humor and with unusual ex-
perience of life. He followed me to
the street, and as I rode away he
called me back as though to impart
something of moment.
