PORTLAND. Ore., Nov. 21.—The en

new line, the Portland. Spokano and Se
attle, better known- as the North Bank,
last week, with the completion of the
lino from Pasco into Spokano by ths end
of the year, may be said to be tho be
ginning of the long promised light be
tween Hill nnd Harrlman for supremacy
In tho northwest.
It will be remembered that a little
over ono year ago both Hill and Harrl
man told the people of tho northwest
thnt over HOOiOOO.OOO would bo spent In
that territory In railroad construction,
and as an earnest of that promise, Har
rlman began to make extensive pur
chases of .terminal properties In Ta
coma and liltl to lay out branch lines.
For many years Harrlman has been
firmly entrenched In Portland, having
two lines Into that city. Tho Oregon
Hallway and Navigation Company, with
Its connection with tho Oregon Short
Line, gives him easy access to and from
Ogden. Then he has tho Oregon and
California from the south, and is pre
paring to build north from Portland into
Beattie and Tacoma. He has from Cali
fornia already on# main lino north and
two more In prospect.
In Oregon. Harrlman it strengthening
himself. There are linen both east and
west of his main line, and Portland from
the south Is well protected from the ad
vance of any competitor.
Hill. In like manner, has been making
himself strong In Washington. He has
been building electric line# Into all pro
duce-bearing sections, and '
his main line with the Bv
tern, so aa to get the northwest Into
closer communication with t"* ‘
middle west.
First Spoke In Wheel,
The Portland. Spokane and Seattle
road may be called the first spoke In
the htfge wheel with which he is cir
cling the northwest.
It has been built from Pasco. Wash..
Into Portland, crossing the Columbia
and Willamette rivers by double tracked
id from Pasco It Is
HIW *» ..... from Pasco It Is being
structed northeast at a rapid rate toward
* ‘ ». which It will reach by the end
year, thus connecting Portland
with the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific and giving that city an almoet
straight tins to the great lakes.
Ths new road ts called the North Bank,
because tt follows the north hank of the
Columbia river, whleh affords a wate:
grads route Into Portland and avoids the
haul over the Cascade Mountains, which
was formerly necssaary.
The North Bank will also help Hill In
reaching northern points from Portland,
for ths Northern Pacific will use the
tracks of the North Bank from Portland
to Vancouver tn connection with the new
line from Vancouver to Kalama. which
will facilitate greatly the service between
Portland and Seattle and will do away
with the ferry transfer, which
pulsory between Goble and Kali
the Columbia river.
Builds to Billings.
In order to gst the northwest In closer
touch with ths mlddls west Hill has built
an extension of about two hundred miles
from Armlngton to iSilttngs. Mont, which
connects him with ths. Burlington, part
Of the Hill system. ’
This line li well built and with heavy
steel and opens up an extremely fertile
section of Montana.
Hill's activity tn thenorthwest Is equal-
ed only by that of William Rockefeller,
who Is pushing the Chicago. Milwaukee

STATE TO FIGHT
FOR M0R£ TAXES
Murphy Candler Has Been
Employed By Governor 1
for the Work
ATLANTA, Go.. Nov. 21.—Murphy
Candler, member of the bouse from
DeKalb county, and recognized as
one of the best lawyers of the state,
has been employed aa special coun
sel for the state by Governor Smith,
to take up a fight against some of the
railroads for more taxes. The gov
ernor hopes to add considerably to the
stato’s revenues through Mr. Candler’s
efforts, being confident in the belief
that the rallroadu are not yn bearing
t'-ieir Just proportion of tho burden
of state government.
Against W. and A. and Georgia Roads.
It(l6 wild that the fight, or the first
part of.It- will, be made against the
Western and Atlantic and the Georgia
railroads.- Interesting questions of
law are Involved In both proceedings.
In the matter of the Western nnd
Atlantic, an odd method of taxation
prevails. When the road was leased
It was stipulated that It should pay
state taxes at the rate at whlcfe- the
Central of Georgia paid at that time.
Under the charter of the old Central
company, It was assessed at one-half
of 1 per cent of the net Income. The
state road wa* leased In 18S9, and
the Central went Into the hands of
a receiver and was reorganized, thus
abrogating the old charter, a year or
two later.
Under the .rulings of t/he Interstate
commerce .commission It is held that
"net Income” means, to a railroad, the
clear profits, .after operating expenses,
and all other expenses, have been met
W. A A.'i Fipuring Questioned.
In making up it* statement of bus
iness. which serves as return for taxes,
the Western and Atlantic management,
deducts from it Its net Income, or
rather adds to Its total expenses, the
money paid to the state as rental. The
legality of this arrangement Is ques
tioned.
It Is further argued by some law
yers that such property as Is used by
the lessees, above and aside from that
which belongs to the state, lx taxable
In Georgia. It is claimed that such
constitutes clear and defined holdings,
whleh. as far as the legality of taxa
tion Is concerned, should be assessed
by the ad valorem method, tho same
as any other common property.
This Is dented by the railroad, and
several decisions, of the Georgia state
•uoremo court, holding that such
property as Is required.or used by a
lessee company to enabte It to pay a
rental, ts not taxable, except as tho
entire property Is taxed.
It is these questions and others
which Mr. Candler has been asked to
Inquire into and make a report. If
he finds that there are reasonable
grounds for beginning an action to
collect more taxes it Is probable that
such will be taken.
An Old Question.
In the Georgia railroad case, an old
an Involved question, one with whlc v
the courts have wrestled for many
years, la presented. It resolves around
the exemption from taxes appearing
In the charter of the road.
When the road was first built, the
original stock waa forever exemoted
from taxation. There is some ques
tion aa to the meaning of a "stock ex
emption." The value of the property
has grown much, and IN capital has
been Increased. Whether thla growth
ln value or Increase In stock Is In
cluded in the original tax exemption
Is a question of which Governor Sm!th
has strong opinions and Into which
Mr. Candler win make Inquiries.
Some of the questions in the propos
ed Georgia railroad case are Involved
in cases already pending In the fed-
-t
court*,' and may come up within the
next few weeks.
In addition to Murphy Candler, tho
governor has hud Hooper Alexander
looking into the status of the state
road for many months. Mr. Alexan
der claims to havo found a large
amount of property belonging to tho
state which had had ln large measure
been lost sight of.
The land upon which tho terminal
facilities rare located In Chattanooga
has grown much In value, and by a
few changes Mr. Alexander thinks tho
state would reallzo a snug fortune
from the same.
Seven Years of Proof.
"I have had seven years of proof
that Dr. King's New Discover)’ is the
best medicine to take for coughs and
colds and for every diseased condi
tion of throat, chest or lungs,” says
W. V. Henry, of Panama, Mo. The
world has had thirty-eight years of
proof that Dr. King’s New Discovery
Is the best remedy for coughs and
colds, la grippe, asthma, bay • fever,
bronchitis, hemorrhage of the lungs
and the early stages of consumption.
Its timely use always prevents the
development of pneumonia. Sold un

Some School Boards.
The board of education In Passaic,
N. J., has ordered the banishment
from school libraries of all fairy sto
ries. This Includes Grimm's "Kinder
und Hausmarchen." Andersen’s "Bll-
derbuch Ohne Bilder," "The Arabian
Nights," "Robin Hood," and ’Bullfinch’*
Mythology. In place of these classics,
we presume, the child mind will be al
lowed to gain Its inspiration from tho
Encyclopedia Brltonnlca, the Origin of
Species, Gray’s Anatomy (expurgated
edition), the World Almanac and Web-
■ter’s Dictionary.
