Mr. Thayer says on the subject: “In my judgment it is your imperative duty to revise our present laws relating to assessment, taxation and revenue. Thata vast amount of proper real and per- sonal, escapes assessment and taxa. tion every year is too plain and pal- pable for denial. That there is a vast amount of inequalities in the assessments of wo kinds of property but in the pos- fon of different individuals is equally The rich can easily hide stocks and bonds, but the little, unpretending house of the laborer cannot cscape the eyo of the assessor. There is no juster or fairer method of deriving revenue than by a fair assessment of all property alike at its full value. Makethe laws so stringent that they can not be evaded. Punish those who evade them, with an unsparing hand. 1 believe that the statutes can be so amended that all persons can be compelled to disclose all theiv property. The penalty should be made moro severe upon ussessors who con- nive at false valuations and receive rewards, Public opinion can enforce an honest, assessment. Provisions shoula be made by statute for the infliction ot severe penaltics upon assessors who knowingly value property falsely. It is not necessary to make the levy according to the full assessed value. Iteai bo reduced to whatever per cent you deem proper. If all prop rated at its real value there can be no ey for the prcseat rate of taxation. Nebraska has the rcputation of b state; and this impression has. caused injury to the state, frightens away investors. Our policy been and is, low assesswents and high v of taxation. Itshould pe high assessme and low rates of taxation,” Ou the subjects of railroads and transpor- tation the ex-governor says: *“While rail- rouds are a necessity to the people, the people are a necessity to the railroads. ‘The rela- tions they sustain 10 each other must be mutual and should be so adjusted that the wnterests of both would be promoted and pro- tected. Those who invest thewr means in railroad property have i right to expect a fair Toturn on their inyostment. Those who labor have the same riht to expect a fair reward for their labor, which is their capital in- vested. Railroads should so adjust their tariff charges that fariners, grazers, manufac- turers, merchauts and all whoship over them can do so and receive a remuuerative profit for their business, in so far as this end can e attained by reasonable freight rates, the power of the legislature o estab)ish and en- force reasonable charzes on the part of com- mon cartiers has been fully established by a decision of the supreme court. And that power must be exercised in all cases where the people are subjected to extortionate charges, The Tiguts of the people must be protected. The power which creates is greater than that which is created. The peo- ple create and their power is suprewe, and they speak through the legislature to' the agencies which have been created for the exccuting of their will.
