Last year the Northern Pacific
railroad brought suit in Federal
court to have their taxes in North
Dakota reduced one-third, alleging
that the state board of equalization
had taxed the railroads higher
than other property. The con
pany then paid two-thirds of the
tax in each county and are delin-
quent for the other third in every
county in the state.
This year the Milwaukee rail.
road has joined the suit and the
result is that many counties in the
state are financially embarrassed on
this account. In Sioux county the
Northern Pacific railroad owes
