DECISION AGAINST
HIGHWAY DISTRICT
v. s. SUPREME COURT RULES IN
FAVOR OF TWO ARKANSAS
RAILROADS.
NO DEFIkITE STANDARD
Us Declared That Discrimination in
Little River County Is PaIpasIe and
Arbitrary-Benefits From Local
improvements Must Be Estimated.

washington, ID. C.-The United
States Supreme Court has reversed
the Supreme Court of Arkansas and
decided against an Arkansas road dis.
trict in the first of these cases To
erach the court.
The decision was made i'm the case
OF the Kansas City Southern Railway
Company VS.. Road Improvement Dis
trict No. of Little River county. Ar.
kansas.
The railroad companies objected to
being assessed by road commissioners
for the construction of a gravel road
LIZ miles long. The commissioners
had assessed the companies on a ba-
sis of $1,000 mile for 9.2 miles of
track coming within the taxable zone.
a total of $67,9O0.
The decision, which was unanimous.
was handed down by Associate Justice
McReynolds.
The statute under consideration
prescribes no definite standard for de.
termining benefits upon proposed i'm.
provements," the decision read. and
we think the discrimination is palma
BILE and arbitrary and amounts TO a
denial OF the equal protection of the
law.
They divided the farming lands
into hve zones determined by dis
lance from the highways. and as.
sessed uniform benefits within the
same zone without regard to improve
ments or market value.
Town lots were assessed at $40.
SIS, $50 and $25 each, according to
location.
"A pipe line, telephone line and
telegraph line were severally as.
sessed at $3.50, $500 and $3.50 per mile
without any designed basis.
Petitioners duly maintained that
the assessments upon their property
was unequal, arbitrary, unreasonable.
and in violation of due process and
the equal protection clauses of the
fourteenth amendment.
The state courts held to the CON.
T.
lite providing for the roads improve
nent district authorized the action
AIKEN by the board and so considered
was a valid enactment. The va.
idity Of the statute having been ade-
lately challenged, the cause is prop
'riy hereupon writ of error and the
'etition for certiorari will be denied.
Benefits from local improvements
must be setimated upon contiguous
roperty. according to some standard
mich will probably produce approx.
,ateiy correct general results.
To say that 81 miles of railroad
a purely farming section treated
an alfquot part of the whole sys.
I'm, will receive benefits amounting
s67.955 miles of gravel road. seem
molly improbable il not impossible.
quail protection Of the law must be
rtended to ALL"
