Rules and regulations of the inter- freight rates on many commodities. Beidelman testified that under nor- mal prosperous conditions the Great Northern railroad’s operating income could not be more than $89,000,000 a year with its entire system. This, he said would be $39,000,000 less than the operating dnenive, of 1929, the peak year, ‘The Great Northern seeks to have] its 1933 taxes reduced 43 per cent, maintaining its property is worth not more than 57 per cent of the value placed on it by the state board of equalization, The railroad already has paid 60 per cent of its 1933 tax and seeks now to have the court declare the tax paid in full.
