Exemption Clause in Railroads Deeds Spurs Tax Fight
The Union Pacific may face higher taxes as Laramie County seeks 50 000 54 000 in minerals assessed on lands sold by the railroad. The clause retaining mineral rights means the company taxes lands it does not own while mineral ownership remains with the railroad, including coal under government land grants. Purchasers with mineral discoveries risk less rights than the railroad, especially for gold mining not allowed in the railroad's charter.

The ruling temporarily makes railroads subservient to the commission and limits railroads from challenging the act creating it. The court said railroads had no standing until the commission acts to injure them, and a future injunction seems likely if disputed orders arise.
