The ed valuation of railroad property — is approximately 56 million dollars in excess of the depreciated value of railroad property in this state as foung by the valuation department of the Interstate Comme sion. The valuation of — railro property as made by the Interstate Commerce Commission, according to Senator LaFollette who has devoted many years to the study of railroad valuation, is approximaetly 50. per- cent higher than the actual value Accordingly the present assessed val- uation of railroad property inthis state is in the neighborhoog of 100 percent in excess of actual value hecording to this claim. “We do not have complete infor mation as to the total tax burden this state“or the ye nor in formation as to the tive levied in this state for the year 19 in- formation as to the taxes railroad property. vroperty taxes levied and amounts paid by railroads and the ratio of railroad taxes during the last four herewith: Total Taxes 28,219,804 usse nor vied The total general ears is given Railroad Year Tax 1919 Tax Ratio 1922 , “The railroads paid a gre portion of taxes in this in years during the also a gre ter aera in dollars “The state of North Dakota is t ing railroad property higher than it is taxed in any of the northwestern states in proportion to the value of the property within the state.

For instance in the s of Minnesota a gross earnings tax | amounting to 5 percent of gross earnings is imposed by the state in lieu of all other taxes.
