Edward Creighton and the Kountzes of this city were probably unable to take control of the Union Pacific as it was first organized and under the re- strictions and limits imposed by its unamended grants, The original con- cession to the company by the United States made a land grant of alternate sections on each side of the track within a limit of ten miles, reserving for the government all mineral and coal lands and making the property of the company a first mortgage to se- cure the loans advanced by the na- tion, Edward Creighton and the Kountzes could not and did not care to ‘‘incur the hazsrd” of going into congress like the sainted Uakes Ames for the purpose of changing the first mort- gage, which was given to the United States, to a sec- ond mortgage, increasing the ten mile limit to a twenty mile limit, thereby doubling the land grant, and injecting vther equally favorable pro- visions, leaving the Credit Mobilier crowd to do as they pleased by a judi- cious distribution of Credit Mobilier atock ‘‘where it would do the mcst good.” Nobraska in 1862 was a territory, and in fact continued 8o until the road Tur legislature will convene next week and then comes the tug of war, M.

On the other hand the Credit Mobilier gang had a royal flush from that good and honest old state of Massachusetts, with proper congressional and editorial support, from democratic cappers like Jim Brooks. The Kountzes and Ed Creighton could have gone into bank- ruptey a dozen times in trying to achieve the same rosults, even if they had been disposed to enter upon such awholesale system of bribary and rob- bery. It took unprincipled scoun- drels and experienced corruptionists to engineer this unparalleled scheme of plunder, and Edward Creighton and the Kountzes would haue proved en- tirely unequal to the task, But this is no reason why they should be manufacture, slurred for not wishing to ‘4ncur the hazard,” or why the rogues who lobbied their outisgsous steal from the people of the United States should be held up as public benefac- tors.

Twua board of education 18 in a dis- | graceful muddle over the election of a The this office may be very interesting to the secretary contest over parties concerned, but does not reflect much credit upon our city, We are unot dispssed to discuss the merits of the respective claimants, but it strikes us that the board is in honor and duty bound to settle the matter without washing ita dirty linen in the courts. There is too mnch business to be trausacted and too many great inter- ests at stake in the conduct of our public schools to waste time ina squabble for personal gain. Quite apart from this it @ a matter of fact that the last legislature has crippled the educational interests of Omaha by remodelling the board of education law. The original act creating the board of education was framed by the editor of Tue Bee in 1871 and for ten years it stood the test with but slight change. The original act created a board of twelve members, two from each ward, whose terms expired alternately every two years, The last legislature reduced the number of members to six. The object of the change we cannot com- prehend. The board serves without pay and there could be no economy in reducing the number and there cer- tainly is enough work for a board of twelve men. They have the super- vision of the entire system of schools. They necessarily must di- vide their labors so as to rssign some members to the practical work of in- specting school buildings; others to investigate the capacity and conduct of teachers; others, again, to look after the finances of theboard. Now, with six members, four of whom form & quorum, and three a majority of a quorum, the burden of the whole system is upon three members most of the time, and the power vested in these three men is greater in many respects than is vested in the majority of the city council. Six members may be ample for cities of the second class and villages, but for a city of the size of Omaha the board of education as originally constituted is more efficient. If 'the law had remained unchanged the squabble over the secretaryship would hardly have taken place. AurnoveH this is an off year in pol- itics there is already suflicient music in the air all along the line to make the coming campaign quite interest- ing. The legislatures to be chosen in the various states this year will have plenty of political excitement. Twenty-five of them will elect United States senators, namely, these of Illinois, Colorado, Kan- sas, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Aalbama, Arkansas, Delaware, Georgia, Ken- tucky, Misasiesippi, New Jersey, North Carolina, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia, Tue indirect offect of low assess- ments and undervaluation reaches a good deal beyond the mere question of taxation. In the firat place, as we have already shown some days ago, low assessinent forces a high rate of taxation, and a high rate of taxation compels local capitalists to exact a high rate of interest on the money they When a man is com- pollod to pay ive and a quarter per cent taxes on his mortgage loans he cannot loan his money for less than ten per cent, becausc even that high rats only leaves him four and three-quarters net for his money. On the other haad, when a non-resident capitalist is asked for a loan on real estate, one of the first questions he asks is, what is its assessed valuation? The usual custom in the east with real estate loans is to loan to the ex- tent of one-third of the asseased valuation. Now suppose, for instance, Mr. Poppleton made application for a loan on his three story block, corner Tenth and Farnam, which is assessed at $12,000. All he could borrow ou that property from eastern capitalists under the common rale would be $4,000, when, in fact, the block would be very cheap for $40,000. And Mr. Poppleton’s block is assessed at about the same ratio that two-thirds of the real property in Omaha has been assessed. 1t becomes self-evident that this sys- tem of undervaluation is very injurious in keeping foreign capital outof Umaha which could otherwise be secured at low rates on real estate security. The want of money at a low rate of inter- ost retards the growth of the city by proventing the erection of many loan, buildings that would otherwise be put up, and it also keeps up high rents, because men who borrow at ten per cent. must exact higher rents from their tenants than when money is abundant at 6 or 7 per cent Quite apart from these drawbacks Omaha suffers serious loss from under- valuation and necessary high rate of taxes by frightening away foreign cap- ital that would invest with us. Non residents who do not understand our system of assessmentas refuse to invest because they comsider 5} per cent. enormous and fear that they will be eaten up by taxes. ‘Tue Bee” believes in the mani fest destiny of Omaha to become one | of the great cities of this country, but it does not believe in a policy thad seeks to build up a great city on wind and gas. The articles that have re- erntly been printed in “The Republi- can concerning the alleged marvelous growth of Omaha will do this city a deal more harm than good If these articles written by that wind-bag statistician, ex-Quarter- master General Test, had been pub- lished over his own name we should have taken no no notice of them, but when they appear as editorials in a paper claiming to represent the solid business community, we object. A man can never pull himself up by his boot straps, and you eanact build up a city by downright lying concerning facts which are within the reach of the public. It is announced with a grand flour- ish of trumpets that Omaha now has a population of over 47,000 and ‘‘The Republican” goes so far as to quote the exact figures for each ward, as follows: POPULATION, APRIL, 1882, First Ward. ... . 8,231 Second Ward. . 8,428 Third Ward. 5,122 Fourth Ward 5,512 Fifth Ward. 11,829 Sixth Ward. 8,186 Total ...... S0 B 47,106 Now where did this blatherskite get these figures? There has been no census taken of Omaha since 1880, It took thirty enumerators a whole month to take the census of Omaha two years ago; but Mr. Test tells us that he, sitting in the U. P. head- quarters, procured the exact figures within three days. How did he pro- cure them, and what basis had he for such a brazen falsehood? We know that the census taken in June, 1880, which gave Omaha a population of 30,652 was expanded to the farthest limit. No person having respect for ver- acity will pretend that Omaha has in- creased 17,000 in population in twen- ty-two months. It is not only stupid to pubiish such a bogus census, but it is injurious in the utmost, because it will compel us to keep on lying from now to everlasting. St. Louis tried that thing in inflating her census of 1870, and ten years later they dis covered . they had | mot . grown very much, because the census of 1880, which was honestly taken, did not show a material increase over the census of 1870, which was bogus. To claim 47,000 people now for Omaha would compel us to inflate the returns from year to year and keep inflating and lying until the town would grow ashamed of it. The fact is, Omana is doing as well, and perhaps better, than any other city west of the Missisrippi, not ex- cepting Kansas City. We have grown from eight to ten thousand since the last census was taken, and may now have about 40,000 popula- tion, The annual illustrated review of Tue Bee, which we seek to make as accurate in regard to statistics as they can be got, gives Omaha at the close of 1881 38,000 population. We may have gained 2,000 in the last four months, and if we have, it is certainly a good enough showing, but for God’s sake stop lying and inflating when there is no sense 1 it, and when people will re- tuse to believe you even if some day you should tell the truth. Let us have no more of these bogus slatistics which go out abroad and make us a set of brazen braggarts, The truth is good enough, and will serve a bet- ter purpose than all this fiatism.
