SOUTHERN PACIFIC TO BE
TAXED IN FULL IN KENTUCKY
FRANKFORT, Ky , Dec. 4. The
Kentucky state fiscal court has direct
ed the stato board of valuation and
assessment to reassemble and assess the
intangible property of the Southern
Pacific railroad. This moans that the
hoard must assess tho property at $175,
iKKj.ooo instead of at $1,000,000 as has
been the custom for years. It means,
then, that tho railroad company will pay
into the state treasury taxes aggregat
ing $4,000,000. As the Southern Pacific
is a Kentucky corporation, its home of
fice being at Beechmont, a suburb of
Louisville, the case cannot bo taken to
the United States supreme court. The
railroad has no track in the city and
,it has always taken the position that
the assessment of its intangible prop
erty should be nominal. The decision
of the state supremo court, it is pre
dicted, will drive the company out of
Kent nek v.

liked better than others. The proof for this as
