Grant county is the luckiest in tn :
state in the way of railway mileage,
the railways in this county paying
81 per cent of all taxes paid in the
county. County Treasurer w. ].
Hauser during the past week coll
ected $4,000 from the Great North
ern, $37 900 from the Northern Pac-
ific and $4,000 from the Milwaukee,
making total of S158,000. If COVE
rnment ownership of railroads is
ever consumated, as many now be-
lieve will be the case in the near
future, it will be necessary for Grant
county to increase it's taxes so per
cent over what it is at the present
time.
Mr.. Hauser estimates upon the
authority of a Great Northern Off
cial, that the railroads of Washing
ton pay IL per cent of their gross
income in the state for taxes alleg-
ing that this is one of the reasons
why the railroads refuse to con-
struct any more tracks in the state.
