NEBRASKA P § HE ‘state board: of equahzatlon “has created a furore by attempt= ling to 'raise ' the valuation of farm lands by practlcally 100 per cent over what it was in 1919. The new valuatlons .are based on the. present . gelling” price of the land; which, accordmg ‘to protests filed by taxpayers, is' an abnormal’ and un- healthy price, due to wildcat specula- " tion. " The feature which ‘is receiving most- criticism is the fact ‘that the valuation of railroad properties has been boosted only about 8 per:cent. It is openl'y charged that the railroads are engineering the move to: raise the valuation, to keep their own taxes as - low as possible, and. it is certain that. their "agents are displaying a great deal of:activity along that line. It is also charged that the McKelvie admin= istration is seeking by this means to raise a fund far in excess of that con- templated by the last legislature for the purpose of carrying out some of its fanciful - experiments under the code bill.: -« The Nebraska State Federation of Labor, at its. annual convention held at Hastings August 3.6, went on rec- ord- as indorsing Arthur G.

Means used in securing these with- ‘drawal signatures were intimidation ‘and misrepresentation, employed by local members of the Montana Devel- opment association. : % -Reports. from :speakers at p1cmcs now. being. held: throughout the state indicate that sentiment is remarkably strong for B.
