Railroad conundrum over cost per mile and dividends
A letter questions the B and Q Railroad cost cited as 47000 per mile versus an assessed value near 4600. It asks who paid that cost, whether current owners or public subsidies, and if dividends at five percent reflect cash value for tax assessments. The writer urges state scrutiny by the Board of Equalization.

Railroads and the fight over valuation and taxes
A critics’ charge targets the Pittsburg Chicago and Northwestern Chicago Rock Island and Pacific Toledo Wabash and Quincy lines. They claim profits from net earnings far exceed real value, urging the State Board of Equalization to value monopolies honestly and tax them fully rather than grant outsized profits.
