How Railroads Tax Evade Paying To the Editor of Tux Ber: When the U, P. and and B. & M. railroad compauies eluded the pay- ment of taxes, which were due mak- | ing the most detest: ivocations. | in order to free thes from the | debt, many counties woNSieprived of smounts varying from $20,000 to | $560,000, and tho bonded indebtednass became a dead weight on the resources f the counties, Platto, Madiron, Colfax and other counties sufferad in this way many thousands of dollars. And now theso monopolies enter the United States court and seek to re- strain Platte and other counties from the collection »f two or three years’ taxes, in adddition to those out of which they have been defrauded. How loug shail this curse continue? When will the rights of property be respocted and the railroads compelled to wostain their portion of the burden of taxation? In this ¢ mneetion ¥ wish to call at- teution to tie plutform adopted by the rogular republicau convention, held at Fromont, Neb,, at which Hon. M, K. Tarner was nominated for member of congress from this districc. The de- mand is there made that ‘“all the property of railroads and corporations shall be assessed in the same manner as the property of individuals,” Tt again sets forth that railroads should be compelled “‘to take out patents on their lands, so that the same may be taxed as lands owned by individuals are taxed,” The bolters that nominated Valen- tine could not honestly, and dared not include like declarations in their plat- form, Isitright to submit to the dictations of the corporate monopolies! Shall the farmers and laboring men be abliged to pay cvery cent assessed against them, while the railroads go “gcot” freel This county supports Turner as the regular nominee of the republican party, and the reports of anything to the contrary are false. Tho recent correspondence in your columns concerning two of our towny- men has cansed no little merriment, from the fact that Anderson sanctions the part derogatory to Olother, and vindicates himself. And now Ciother is perfectly willing that Anderson should be under the charges made, but avers the innocence of his own career. Judge Riley, of Boone county, Mr, Freeman and others of Platte county, start for Hastinge to.day to attend the Alliance and anti-monopoly con- gressional conventions, The issue is upon the people and must be met, Every voter must pre- pare for the contest. The time for action will not last long. Rouse, then, you who support the republican platform, and by your votes sanction the declaratien therein, The election of Turner means ‘‘true republican principles can and shall prevail.” Corumsus, Neb., September 25, ~County Commissioner Drexel recently found an enormous bone, belonging to some extinet species of animal, which must have been of enormous size, The bone was found sixty feet below the surface of the ground, in Douglas precinet, METROPOLITAN HOTEL, OMA- HA, NEB.
