An Old Controversy.
"The controversy between the
railroads and their employees has
been developing over a period OF
years. The trouble we have been
reading about in the papers lately
came as a result Of an announce
ment by the railroad companies that
they were going to make another
reduction in rates-the second In six
months The companies say that n
they are to meet the demands Of
business men and reduce freight
rates. then they must also reduce
wages. The employees say that a fur
ther reduction in wages. with the
cost Of living still high, would work
an unneeded hardship on the en-
ployes and their families
"The quarrel between the railroad
employees and the railroad compan-
les. with threats Of strikar and reduc-
tions of wages, charges by the men
that they were being treated unfair
~ in the matter Of hours and work
ing conditions, and counter charges
by the companies that the men were
constantly demanding shorter hours
and more pay-all this has been go
ing on for years. Undoubtedly there
is some truth in what the men charge
, and some truth in what the COM
panies charge.
I'm the meanwhile the railroad
systems OF the United States became
more and more vital in the life OF
the nation every year. In view OF
this fact. It would seem absolutely
necessary that Congress make a
thorough investigation OF this whole

RAILWAY TOFIGHT
THE ASSESSMENT
BRINGS ACTION IN FEDERAL
COURT AT SIOUX FALLS
COUNTY AUDITORS BEING
NOTIFIED.

Yankton, Sept. County Audi
tor Jesse D. McCoun, served with an
equity subpoena by United States
Marshal William Hickey, of Sioux
Falls, notifying him that action had
been started in federal court at
Sioux Falls by the Chicago & North
western railway to prevent the plac-
ing of the 1920 tax levy against the
road. The action is directed against
the state tax commission and the au-
ditors in every county through which
this railroad passes. Yankton county
being one of them. Notice of the
action being started was announced
at Pierre on Saturday, and the pa
pers are made returnable for a tenn
porary injunction before Judge j. d.
Elliott in Sioux Falls.
According TO the figures of the
state tax commission, which have
been received by County Auditor
McCoun, the valuation of the Chi
ca go a. Northwestern property in
Yankton county is placed at $780,
797. or s29,645 per mile outside of
city limits. This is slightly higher
than the valuation for 1919, ii being
placed at s29,0S for that year, but
for the year prior to that it was plac-
ed at $4,000. The 1920 valuation
of the Great Northern road in Yank-
ton county is put at s29,S30 per
mile. while the Milwaukee road is
assessed at s37,735 per mile on its
main line through the county.
The Northwestern road protests
that the state tax commission is will
fully and fraudulently valuing its
property in excess of 100 cents on
the dollar. and claims that a fair
would not exceed $4,000
per mile.
