holding that the Missouri Pacific Railroad Company need not pay
the sum of $262,969.96 to the Register of Deeds of Sedgwick
County to cover the mortgage registration "fees" due on two
mortgages made by the railroad on all of its property. The suit
was one filed by the railroad to recover these taxes which had
