Omaha, Jan. 15. Judge Muuger of tho federal court decides tho railroads of Nebraska must puy their taxes. Such is the essence of his decision in tho Burlington case, which has been iought for'tho state by Attorney Gen oral Brown. This decision will apply also to tho Union Pacific and to the collection of taxes for 1905, as well as 1904, of both roads. This suit was for an Injunction against tho collection of taxes for the year 1904 on the basis of valuation fixed by the stato board of equaliza tion and assessment. Another suit, identical in character, had been brought with relation to tho taxes for 1905, and tho Union Pacific, as woll as tho Burlington, had Instituted the same suits. Tho total assessment for the Bur lington and Union Pacific for the two years amounts to $2,056,482. Togeth er they have tendered $1,440,680. Tho Union Pacific tendered or paid $256, 000 In 1904, when Its asseBment was $348,000, and $275,000when its assess- Tak Laxative Bromo Quinine Tteu. Sevea Miuon oie o m p ment amounted to $385,000. General Mandcreon, general solic itor for tho Burlington, said hla road had paid in 1904 $444,710.78 in taxes to the stato and $472,970.24 in 1905, and that the amounts in dispute were, 1904, $21(5,802, and 1905 $215,000. The penalty on this is 10 per cent; that Is if tho railroads finally loso they must pay 10 per cent. "Inasmuch as tho county warrants draw 7 per cent, tho counties will clear 3 por cent, which is pretty good interest on their money these days," remarked General Mandersou. "Of courso tho decision as to tho 1904 taxes wlllnpply to the taxes of 1905, henco It means a decision for both cases. We have not yet seen the full text of tho decision and cannot say what we shall do as to further litiga tion. The fact that tho case is one in equity Will not prevent us from appealing."
