AFTER BACK TAXES
Logan Gets Bill Through Senate To
Bring Tax Dodgipg Railroads
To Time.

Senate Bill No. 1870. by Senator Lo-
gan, Is bill TO raise revenue for the
state and to provide procedure there
for.
This bill gives the Attorney General
full authority to appoint assistants for
the purpose of examining the records
and placing upon the tax books the
property of railroads and corporations
that have escaped taxation.
1t is estimated that the different
railroads are owing the state today
more than a million dollars in back
taxes than the state has been unable
to collect by reason of the fact that
the plan has been a long drawn out
one that would have to be carried
through the courts, and so complicat-
ed, that it has been impossible to do
very much in the way of collecting
back taxes. Senator Logan Bill
which passed the Senate a day OF so
ago, is intended to do away with this
complication and the corporations and
railroads can be brought at once into
the county court and made to assess
their property as it should be and also
be made to pay all back taxes.
This law has been in force in sever
81 of the states for years. 1t has been
especially successful in Mississippi. In
that state there has been collected I'M
der thi law. in the last three years,
more than $4.000,000 in back taxes
from the corporation and railroads. 1t
is estimated that there is more money
due the state OF ArkaDaas for back
taxes than there was due the state of
Mississippi.
