The Union Paciflo and the St. Joseph A Orand Island railroads have not reported their earnings In Nebraska In their annual reports to the State Board of Assessment. Each , road says it la not required ti seg regate Its business among the different states and as Us Income Is not dependent upon merely state business it cannot sep arate the state from the interstate busi ness, so should It make such a report the Mgures would be mere conjecture. The letters are practically the same and each contain the following: "In returning this rrport, wish to advise that while the company raises no objec tion to reporting any facts that may be required by you, the proposed report con templates the segregation of the company's Interstate business among the various states through which Its road passes; and as Its earning, expenses, etc., are not de pendent on state line., there Is no way In which such segregation can be effected except by approximation of conjecture. The Information requested pertains to the road as a whole and cannot be accurately ap portioned among the states traversed. Any attempt to do so on my part would be a mere expression of, Individual opinion, which I am not authorised to make. Be cause, of the difficulty I should experience In attempting to comply with your demands I have delayed returning this report to you until I have referred the questions In volved to counsel, snd am now advised that, while any facts shown by the com pany's records should be reported, no at tenipt should be made to give merely mat ters of opinion or speculation. "The Interstate Commerce commission has. as vuu know, directed the form and manner In which the accounts of Inter- slate carriers shall be kept, and the Inter state commerce act provides (section 30) that "it shall be unlawful for such carriers to keep any other accounts, records or memoranda than those prescribed or ap proved by the commission. This Is another reason why the Information has not been given as required aa no change was made In our accounts apportioning earnings and expenses to states.'' Bids far State Balldlaa.
