there is i QUO worth of railroad property taxed in indiana but do these railroads pay their 15 cents on the hundred dollars aa as prescribed by law not at it all they work it out on the free gravel roads according to reports but the result of the work is not apparent in some places I 1 doubt it any of the money these railroad railroads were supposed to pay for or road tax and of which they did pay perhaps SO per cent for the tax receipts was expended on the roads one man who has several railroads un der his control told me a short time ago that none of his roads ever paid over 80 pr pe ant nt for these receipts the railroads are reported on the books of nearly nearl every county in the state as having worked out their road tax and I 1 challenge any man to cite me a single case where here he has seen the employed emp loyes of an railroad working on our roads paying off this tax etli ith the amount at 0 money indiana is supposed to pay for road tax she ought to have the lest test roads in ili the united states but abe she has not and will not have hae until there la Is corrective legislation there ought to be no such thing as working out road tax and the lava lails should be
