RAILROAD MERGERS
OF NOTAXC CONCERN
Commissioner Acker Asserts No
Difference Would Be Made
In levies

Consolidation Of various railroads
Is proposed by the Interstate Com
n1erce commission should make little
difference to North Dakota or its po-
litical subdivisions from . taxing
standpoint. according to Tax Com.
missioner Iver Acker.
Railroad taxes m determined part
~ by physical valuation. the average
income during the preceding five
year period and its capitalization.
Acker explained, and the totals is dis
tributed on Me basis Of the number
Of miles Of line, main line trackage
carrying q higher proportion per mile
than branch line trackage.
No matter what changes are effect
ed In railroad operation by means Of
a consolidation, such as now is pro-
posed for the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific, It Is improbable
that the capitalized value. the earn
ings or the miles Of track would be
reduced, Acker said.
He said he sees no reason why the
state should interest itself in the pro-
posed consolidation because Of any
difficulty which would be created ia
taxing nf(tters. !

France, Great Britain, and italy
Expected to Sign Four
) Power Pact

Paris, Jan. 7.-R-Negotiations Of
b Mediterranean pact Of non-aggres-
sion, it was learned today in authori-
tative circles, is now deemed possible,
The successful elaboration Of such
a pact, It Is believed here, would at
feet favorably the whole course Of
the London naval conference and
would increase notably the chances
Of success Of that meeting.
There Is much interest. as to
whether the United States through
the American delegation would give
such q pact moral support. Such
support. it is believed. would have an
effect In London and Great Britain
would see its way clear to the signing
Of q self denying ordinance for the
Mediterranean which would pledge
all the s~ignatories to non-aggression
and would have the result Of increas-
ing Frances feeling Of political Sc
curity.
Preliminary plans for q Mediter-
tean pact call for q conference Of
signatories as under the four-power
Pacific past negotiated in Washing
ton. These s~ignatories presumably
would be France. Great Britain. Spain
and italy.
Although the italian attitude is not
determined 80 far as known. states
men are optimistic that italy would
come into such an arrangement. Il
was emphasized the role OF the Unit
ed States merely would be that Of ex-
tending moral help for the conclusion
of a Mediterranean past which she
herself would not be called upon to
