K.\IM50AI > TAXATION' .
An Interesting Discussion Uol'orc
Wakeley Vosterilny IMornlnjj.
The much mooted question as to the
right of the city to lax all railroad prop
erly within the corporate limits , was be
fore .Judge Wakeley yesterday morning ,
and was diseiibscd by Mr. Poppleton tor
the railroads and by Uity Attorney Connell -
nell on behalf of thn city.
The question arose on a demurrer lilcd
by Iho city , to a petition of the Union
Pacific : railway company , asking for an
injunction to prevent the collection of
taxes assessed against certain property
belonging to tlio railroad company.
It was claimed by tlio city attorney that
notwithstanding the state 'law requiring
railroad and telegraph companies to
make returns of its property to tlio state
board of cquali/.ation , that the city had
'
power to assess all such property as'mig'ut
lie within the limits of the city , tlio same
as Hie property of other corporations and
individuals is assessed. J\Ir. Popploton de
nied the correctness of this proposition.
and contended that for tiio purpose of
city taxation the pro rnta proposition of
milage , as determined by the slate board
of eqiiali/ation , was tlio only proper sys
tem of the taxation of railroad right-of-
way , denot , grounds , etc. Mr. Popple-
ton also urged that oven is such system
was not correct , all objection thereto
should be addressed lo the legislature , in
place of lo the courts.
During llio argument , the cilv attorney
nsked Mr. Poppleton if ho denied the
proposition , that under the present state
law , if the charter in express terms gave
the city tlio right to tax all railroad
property within the limits , according to
valuation , llio city would have such right ,
: md that such right would not be in con
flict with the state law.
To the question of the city attorney ,
Mr. Popplcton responded , that if Mich
charter provision was enacted subsequent
to iho state law , the city would probably
have ; such right , and it would not be in
uonllict with the stale law.
Upon the conclusion of tlic arguments ,
Judge Wakely look the case under ad
visement , and will probably render hi.s
decision before the adjournment of tlio
present term of court.
With regard to tinlaxcs involved in
the litigation , it was further claimed by
Mr. Poppleton as a mailer of fact that
the cily had already collected taxes for
the year in controversy , according to the
system for which he contended , and thu
city attorney admitled that if such was
the fact , the city could not again collect
taxes for such year upon a valuation as-
t > ehhinnnt , for that would amount to
double taxation.
The principal question involved still
remains lor hoHlcmonl by Iho charter
amendment committee , anil it is prob
able that in view of the admission of Mr.
Popplcton that the charier may be so
amended as to assess nil railroad properly
for city taxation according to valuation
that such un amendment will be made.

"I have boon appointed district oflicor

An Ai-niy onicer Mnkoe Comment *
Thereon.
"It is a starllmg fact , shown up by re
liable figures , " said an army olllcer vcsler-
day ; "Ihal 59 per cent of the soldiers in
department were , during the past year ,
tried by court martial. Most of them , of
course , were tried for petty offenses , such
as drunkenness , being off duty without
leave of absence. This is a pitiful show
ing , and nt the same time its truth can
not be disputed. It proves that Ihcre is
something radically wrong with the pres
ent system of court martial. As the
thing is now , if a .soldier goes off or be
comes intoxicated , lie is immediately
tried by court martial , and "sentenced lo
a term in. the ? guard hou o. That relieves
him from duly and throws llio work on
Iho men who behave themselves. 'I his
discouargos Iho good soldiers and helps
the bad ones The fact is there
ought lo be a fixed code of laws , rigidly
enforced , with u cc'rta'n punishment for
each crime something similar to the
coda which obtains in the police court.
Then a soldier who disobeys those laws
would know just what punishment to o\-
peet. Under ihe present system a sol
dier , tried by our court martial , might
get a sentence , more severe or more leni
ent Ihan a soldier who commits the very
same crime , but is tried by a different
court-martial board. In my opinion
there ought to bo less guard-house sen
tence and more lining done. Let a soldier -
dior understand that an infringement of
the law is going to cost him Hie half in-
half or whole of hi.s months pay nnd
he will bo prelly apt to keep straight.
For thai reason a lixcd code of laws and
linns ought to bo determined upon.
"The percentage of crime among the
.soldiers during llio past year , " continued
the speaker has perhaps been crcaler on
account of the I'lianiro of regiments which
has taken place. Men who have been
stationed at posts far out in the western
country , have brought into the "confines
of civilization , " and they immediately
proceed to allow their vicious tendencies
lull play. This is illustrated in the case
of the second and the twelth regiments
ol infantry. "
