Temporary Injunction From Judge Clarke—The Allegations »ct Forth by the Itoad, Atlanta, Jan* 24.—[Special ]—Thero Jr bo let up ia the fight waged b> the railroad* of Georgia against the mileage tax ob sleeping cars, and it ia likely vo be hotly contested until the bigheat tribu nal passes upon the issue. To-day in the Fulton superior court, through their at torneys, Messrs* Calhoun, King A Spalding, tho Atlanta and West Point Railroad Company, filed a bill against Comptroller-General Wright and Sheriff h. P. Thomas. WHAT THE BILL SETS FORTIL The bill sets forth the following facta: In December, 1888, the legislature passed an act providing that railroad companies should pay a license for pull ing sleeping cars belonging to corpora tions outside of this elate. The tax was fixed according to the mileage of the road. If tho road was from fifty to 100 mile* ia length tho tax wm fixed at JMOl tor roade 100 to 150 miles in length SlbOandsoon. In November, 1889, another act was named amending the above act so os not torequire the tax on the railroad com panies for pulling car* over their track, but on cars ownod by tho roads. The comptroller-general, the petition soU forth, notified the West Poin; rail- rond to nor tho .$100 license tax for less on or before OcL 1,1«H>. The road re- fused to do so, and on tho lCthof Docem- lier, ISS'J, an execution wa> iseued against tho road for the $100 iiceuje, and an ad- ditionnl sum of *500 no a penalty for not liaving paid it. Tho execution was carried out by Sheriff Thomas, who had Deputy Sheriff Ferknraon levy on locomotive engine No. 23, of the Atlanta and Weet l’oint railroad. TO* TAX CXCOXSTlTtJTlOfUl. The- petition claim, that the wwenement of tho $100 is a license upon interstate commerco and if any statute of tlio code of Georgia would try to authorize tho collection of such a license it would lie contrary to the provision, of the consti tution of the United States, and there fore null and void, and the petition charges that it ia It atao claims that the statulo is con- trarv to the spirit of tho coustitution of the state of ' Jiorgia, which provides that nil taxation of every character shall be ad ' valorem and uniform upon every epedee of property subject to taxation. That tho said tax is not uniform, but capriciously graded, according to tbc mileage without regard to the number of cars hauled or trips male. It is further unconstitutional because it is a tax upon Ihuw, pulling sUeoii can belonging to corporations nutaids the sum sun nui uj«»i «««»> puiii-o sleeping care of corporation* in the itate. Further, that the act of the comp troller-general in assessing a penalty of $500 for a non-payment of the license was unlawful COS T WAXT THEIR EXOIMX ACCTtOREIl.
