_The Result of the Michigan Work._—Any undertaking must be judged by its
results. The Attorney-General's report for 1906, on pages 21 and 23,
states:
"These cases are among the most important in the history of the State.
They constitute the last step in subjecting railroad property in
Michigan to taxation on the same basis and at the same rate as other
property is taxed, and secure practical uniformity and equality of
taxation between railroad and other property.
