Roads Lose Tax
Injunction Suit
Federal Judges Hold Railroads
Should Have Appealed to
Supreme Court.

The Burlington, Northwestern and
tions by federal court yesterday which
would prevent county treasurers of
Nebraska from collecting total amount
of taxes levied on the property of
these roads.
The railroads. in their suit to en-
join the county treasurers and w.
II. Osborne, Nebraska tax commits
sioner. contended the valuation on
their property was fixed at too high
Il figure; out of proportion with other
Nebraska property.
6 Federal Judges Munger and Lewis
held, however, that the state statute
provides that taxpayers can appeal to
the supreme court on such matters,
and that the railroads should first
have exhausted this means, before
appealing to the federal court.
THE state statute provides a pro-
cedure for the taxpayers" said Judge
Lewis. IF these questions are open,
taxpayers can so into court of
equity and get injunctions which
would prevent the collection OF mon
ey to carry on state institutions. In
this case. several hundred thousands
of dollars which would be used for
schools and other equally important
institutions would be tied up, and
uncollected.
