WILL GO AFTER
RAILWAY TAXES
FOR THIRD Time
Assessment Again Levied
on Capital Stock For
1919, 30 and '21.

Bismarck, N. D., June 26.-Assess-
ment of the capital stock tax against
the four principal railroads of North
Dakota has been levied again for the
years 1919, 1920 and 1921, and the
third attempt will be made to collect
This excise tax which the roads have
twice fought successfully before the
supreme court of the United States.
Tax Commissioner. c. C.. Converse
has made the present assessment on
the same basis as that provided in the
case of general corporations, that is,
on a business basis. He holds that the
statute provides for apportionment of
capital investment to North Dakota
on a business or gross earning basis
and that the methods previously used
In laying the tax were designated in
the statute to be used only in case a
business basis Of apportionment could
not be correctly ascertained.
The mount of the tax assessed for
the three year period against each
railroad In the new. levy was:
Great Northern, .....$ 78,425.O5
Northern Pacific 80. ~64,8S3.66
800 ~25,225.49
Milwaukee .......... 13,182.55
Total .............$1S1.697.7
The AK is assessed upon the value
of thu capital investment Of the rail-
roads in the state. The rate of tax is
SOC per $1,000 after deduction of the
legal exemption Of $4,000. The tax
for the rear 1922 also will be laid
soon. adding quite materially to the
above amount. W
Former Aeseasmentss1nvolycd
Two previous assessments of the
state capital stock tax made against
these companies have been declared
invalid and void by thegUnited States
supreme court.
In the first assessm the capital
investments OF the railroads of the
state was found by applying to the
gross market value of the stocks and
n of the company the proportion
Of the North Dakota single track
mileage to the total single track mile
age of the system. The United States
supreme court held that failure to de-
duct the value of securities and other
incorporating property invalidated
The assessment and that apportion-
ment on q mileage basis assigned a
greater valuation to North, Dakota
than was proper. They held that the
method of taxation was an unwar-
ranted Interference with interstate
commerce and a taxing of property
= NAC P4OSSHS VI law
In the second assessment the CAPT.
tai investment of the railroads in
North Dakota was found by taking
such proportion of the outstanding
stocks n bonds of the railroad rep
%resenting operating railway property
as the value of North Dakota proper
ty bore to the total system. -
The court held that such tax was
assessed on a basis which the statute
did not authorize or sapction.
The roads also have commended that
during the period of the government
control. they were a part of the gov
eminent, and therefore could not be
assessed with an excise tax. For this
reason the taxes for the year 1922
will be levied entirely apart from the
previous ~levies, to produce a test case
for a year in which the government
control question does not enter.
