Georo B. Haruis, Assistant General Freight Agent. Now this notice is, on its face, evi- denee that the sysbem of rebates and ‘tes has been the practice of the Burlington and Missouri company. Ttis a confession that the monopoly, which spreads -its fingors over the most populous portion of our state, has been practicing favoritism and dis- crimination against shippers and buyers on the line of its road. Every special rate given to a shipper is a tremendous disadvantage to every other shipper of the same class of goods, who is mot so favored. Every robate granted to a consignee decreases by the amount ‘of the rebate the profit on the sale of goods of other merchants. The dis- tinction between just and unjust dis- criminations, not provided for by a published tariff, cannot be maintained. Every secref discrimination is an in- justice and should be dealt with as such by our laws. The law passed by our late legisla- ture was confessedly liberal in its tenor and petmitted wide latitude in its application. It did mot seek to arbitrarily reduce the rates on 'the raitroads or tomake such wide and sweeping changes in_tariffs_as would hamper the efficiency or seriously hin- der for a time the successful operation. of thelines. - Admitting, as our legis- lators did, that the tariff rates as then’ publishied were extortionate, they only Qecreed for.the protection.of the peo- ple that they should not be further in- creased. ~ The law as passed provided. that the rates on the same class and quantity of goodsshould Be the ‘same toall_shippers but it did not pro- ¥ido that tho distinction between car load lots and smaller quantitics of freight - should be._ebliterated. The laws decreed that freight for a shorter distance should not be charged a greater sum than for a longer dis- tance, but it did not decreo that the ‘tariffs onlong hauls should be raised to make: them proportionally corres- pond to the exhorbitant local rates chargéd ffom non-competing points. To short, ghe Doane law simply laid down ~the legal boundaries within - ‘whichl the. monopolies must confine_their cxactions and left to- their ‘own managements, for a time at the least, the application of principles of conumon oquity and justice in their dgalfhgs with the pub- lic.

But this would only jeopardize success in the future by emphasizing and_ perpetuat- ing present rivalries. Besides, the claim that the aid of a certain faction, or of a certain local leader, was all- essential is misleading. It was ossen- tial, but no more so than that of any other section of the party. Every republican was in duty bonnd — accord- ing to party obligations to do what he honestly could, and all he could, to achieve party success. General Grant and Senator Conkling were under greater obligations to uso auy influence for success private citizens whom public speakers sought to interest and warm into en- thusiasm. They had received national honors and emoluments—in the one case toan extent which Washington himself had not reseived. The disap- pointments they had suffered because they faled ¢ cary their points now then were unworthy a moment’s consideration. They would have said 80 emphatically had the CI cago con- - o vention it their vie and duty, and to refuse to take one’s own medicine is throw doubt upon its value. Parties are organized, . theoretically at 1 for the public good, not to ‘glorify individuals. Any other claim to consideration would make them contemptible in the eye of every sen- sible man. The question of leadership or of who be greatest, is alto- gether secondary—a matter of opin- jon and of policy. There must be tol- eration and concession on_non-essen- tials or there can be no unity of action and success. This is a truth as old as government itself, and yet it is ignored every time a bolt is inaugurated on any other pretense than that the rules looking to a fair expression are violat- ed, or some man or set of men arg nominated whose lives give the lie to their professed principles. Bolts are was a set of ‘‘eternal principles”some- [Marlboro times. ‘Miss Susan B.

Eighty-one votes are necessary to elect a senator, and it doesn’t require to olect two. If twenty- six members remain out the caucus nominee cannot be elected without Democratic help. The Democrats say they will vote for Democrats till Jan- uary, 1882, if necessary. Administra- tion Republicans claim to have more than enongh pledges to emasculate the caucus nni defeat its choice.

Trunk LinesofRailroad Slightly Increased to Appease the *"Wrath of the People: there | While the Branches are put at Ridiculous Figures—The Country Kicking Sutton Reglster. After two weeks of labor the State Board of Equilization has fixed the valuation on the railroads of the state. The table Bives fotil. valuation, and the rates per mile for the various lines: Sioux City and Pacific. Fremont, Elkhorn and Valley St. Paul Omaha and iblican Valley. h Republican Valley.... -. ... Omaba, Niobrara and Black Hills' % It will be noticed _that there isa ‘material advance over last year on the ‘main line of lines, and _especially _on the mainline of -the B, & M., which last year was only $8,030 por mile, and is now $10,659. The U. P. main line is increased nearly 81,500 a mile. Most people outside of railroad circles will consider, - notwithstanding _the material advance, that this valuation is yet considerably too low. But if tho main lines are unreasona- bly-low, if, in fact, they are not un- reasonably high, then the valuations of the branch lines is ridiculously low. Take tho B. & M. for_instance. The company operates 907 miles in the state. About one-third of this is as- sessed at the relatively fair valuation of $10,644 per mile, while the other two-thirds is assessed at loss than half that rate, making a very low average. The branch lines of the U. P. have a still lower value affixed to them. By & peculiar manner of figuring, the nianagers make it appear that the branch lines are all but valueless. Nothwithstanding they are feeders to the main lino and contrib- ute to the entire system of which they are a part, they are treated as independent lines, and the balance of profit figured: against - them, contrary to the essential facts of the case. Then again the bulk of the rolling stock is roturned as belonging to the main line; when, in fact, it is used on all of the branches, the higher assessment on the mainline being more. than counterbalanéed by the diminutive assessment of the branch Tines. ‘That there is an increase over the assessment of last year, is gratifying: that it is still too low is our candi opinion. Boono County Afcus. Tt may b of interest to our many farmer readers to observe carefully tho above rate of assessment of rail- road property lately established by the state board of equalization. Tt will be seen by reference to the above table, that our road is put at only 83,054 per mile, and as there is jusf 16} miles in tnis county, we have $50,391 of railroad property to tax, which will bringinto- our county coffers_ avout $2,000 in round num- bers. Now in view of that historic of Farmer() Brown, in which ho aaid he was_opposed toall railroad legislation, it may be interesting to our farmer readers, con- sidering the action of the Board of Equalization, to bring the ~question Tight home to ourselves and see whether or not a little ealutary rail- road legislation would be beneficial to the whole country. Boone county gave £33,000 in 20 year bonds, bear- ing interest at 8 per cent., to induce the company to build the road. Now to moet those bonds and. interest we have to raise $2,640 for interest and at the rate of $1;650as princig al every ear an aggregate yearly expense to the county of some $4,290 or $85,800 at the end of the twenty years. To effect this we collect only $2,000 in taxes, or 8640 less than the amount we the company as the Soarly intorost ot our bonts. © Thus, at the present rate of assessment of ilroad property, the farmers and cit- jzens of our county virtually give the U, P. $33,000 in cash, remit all their taxes for twenty years, and pay them $640 in hard cash per annum, for the sake of paying exorbitant_freight and tariff rates and supporting a ring of railroad cappers and sycophants. And yet, says Geo. W. Brown, you must ot pass any laws affecting railroad property. In The Argus of Mav Gth Trogavs s smo is of the sworn report o the officors. of the U. P. company themselves to tho Secretary of the interior, wherein they state that the U. P. road and equipments cost $114,262,54 per mile, yot the main line of the U. P., was only assessed at $11,652, or just about one-tenth of what the officers of the road themselves swore that it cost, and if we consider the earnings of the road, which now are not,_taxed at all, it proves most conclusively that while the farmer fand the merchant, the merchanic and the flaborer are all fo‘lmed o pay taxes on :‘1: full cash value of every, particle of property Mo S e s these giantJfcorporations * are escaping with nearly nominal taxation. At this infamously low rate of valua- tion Boone county will have built the railroads, bosides} paying the officers of the company & small fortune to en- able them{to it in their gilded palaces, and flmmgh such mouth-pieces as Ladd and G. W. Brown denounce as senseless enthusiasts the farmers, in reality the true proprietors of the road, who daro to lift their voices against such wholesale plundering. The State board of equalization ought to be_remanded to eternal oblivion for the unjust valuation. Boono county when its bonds are paid will have donated to the U. P. com- pany £5,200 for every mile of railroad they have built in this country, yet it is roturned to us for taxation at the Tate of only a little over 83,000 per mile. Why should a man, through whose farm the Toad runs, be_forced to paytaxes on one third of the full valuation of his place, while the rail- rond itself, on the same section of | “Wik Iand, only pays state and county taxes on about one-tenth of its" valua- tion? and even ‘then its earnings, which mount up into_the millions, es. cape taxation entirely. We believe that the railroad dollar is just as good but no better than a dollar invested in agriculture, and both should bear an equal shate of the burden of main- taining our government. We believe in fostering rail and in encourag- mgu‘:lhuir ext:ln;inn in our state, and would be utterly opposed to any legis- lation, which would cripple o destroy them, but on tho other hand we are in faypr of putting them on the same ek st SR ROy Al restricting their tariffs within moderate limits.
