PREPARE FOR ASSESSME\TS Btate Board Oollacting Figures to Fix Valuation on the Railroads, BIG COMPANIES ONLY LIST PROPERTY Expected that City of Omaha Wil Make Effort to Induce rd to Le Out Bridge and Termina (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, April 19.—(Special.)—Members of the State Board of Equalization are pian- ing to begin the work of fixing the valua- tion of railroad property, for the purpose of taxation, but it Is not likely that any formal | meeting of the board will be held until gometime during the first week in May. The board Is comprised of the governor, auditor and treasurer. Governor Savage, as Is well known, has been studying the records of rallroad assessment for many years past and has collected figures which he declares will show unquestionably that the valuation as determined by former boards has been un- reasonably low. Treasurer Stuefer and Aud- ftor Weston have also glven the subject con- siderable thought and the latter has gons to the length of sending a representative to Des Moines to examine the system of raliroad essment in Iowa. It is not de. nied that the governor will insist on a eub- stantial increase in the assessment, but the other members of the board have given no intimation as to what course they will pur- sue. Roads Fix No V Nearly all of the railroads in the state have submitted their returns to the auditor in compliance with the law, but only a few of the companies have made any statement as to the valuation of the property. The Burlington, Rock Island and Unlon Pacific companies list their property only, leaving the value to be determined by the board. The law governing the sessment of rallroad property requires the officers of rallroad companies to list and return to ‘the auditor for assessment and taxation all mileage, rolling stock, buildings and other property. As soon as practicable after the returns are made the board Is required to meet for the purpose of fixing the value and assessment of the property, at the ac- tual value for each mile of road or line. the value of each mile to be determined by dividing the sum of the whole valuation wof a road by the number of miles included. It 1s provided that in making up the valua. tion or assessment the board shall examine and consider the returns of the companies, or information that may have been obtained by the auditor in defanit of the return. together with such other rellable informa- tlon relative thereto as they may be able to procure. The work must be completed on or before May 15 or so soon thereafter as possible, Fight Over Bridge Line. It is expected that an effort will be made to exempt the Omaha Bridge and Terminal company from state taxation on the ground that the property of the company in Ne- braska is confined to Douglas county. The company has made a return to the auditor. however, glving its valuation at $73.562, as ngainst §74,680 last year. The Fremont, Elk- horn & Missourl Valley Rallroad company certified its valuation at $3,165,104. Last vear the valuation of the road was fixed by he board at $3,641,366, but these figures In- luded the valuation of the property of the Chicago & Northwestern in Washington and Dodge countles. This year the latter rall- road’s property Is certified at $75.060. Governor Savage this morning listened to a delegation of veterans of the civil war who appeared with a plea for executive clemency In bebalf of Willlam Rhea. Some of the men are comrades of Rhea's father. The governor promised to give the plea careful consideration along with the others that have been made recently, but sald he would probably not announce his decision until Monday. Attorneys are expecting the supreme court to announce soon that it will not recognize the unreported opinions of commissioners as precedents of law. In these opinfons the court concurs only as to findings or conclusions, but not as to the law expressed therein. The question has .been axitated by lawyers recently and If brought squarely before the court may bring forth the dec- laration that has been expected for several months.

HOLD OLIVER OLESON RESPONSIBLE Think He Was Alded in Crime by A. Yahnke and Som and Life In- surance Money Supposed to Be Incentive. ALLIANCE, Neb.,, April 19.—(Special Telegram.)—The report was circulated yes- terday afternoon that Michae! Sierks, Hving ten miles northwest of this place, was ac- cidentally shot and killed at the home of Oliver Olson, a nelghbor. Later reports and surrounding circumstances led to the bellef that a murder had been committed and a coromer's jury was called to deter- mine. | Today the jury decided that Sierks had met his death by a gunshot wound at the hands of Oliver Olson, aided and abetted by A. Yahnke and son of this place, who were at the house at the time of the trag- edy, the former of whom is said to be the beneficiary in the dead man's life insurance policy. It is now thought that the accldent stcry was one put out by the accused as a blind and much may yet come out of the affair. What the trouble, If any, was about is but speculative, but It {s an unfortunate chain of circumstances which surround the Yahn- kes and Olson.

OTHER PLANS OF PROTECTION OFFERED Increased Duty on All Exports from United States and International Conference to Regulate Duties Advocated. BERLIN, April 19.—Count von Kanitz, the agarian leader, yesterday demanded of the tariff committee of the Reichstag the imposition of {wenty marks, (§5), duty per metric hundred weight, on lard, thus im- creasing the amount previously decided on tor the new bill by 7% marks, ($1.87.) He cited that out of 88,000,000 marks, ($22,000,000), the German imports 86,000,000 marks, ($21,500,000), were from the United States, and certainly the United BStates could uot complain of the proposed duty, because the Dingley bill duty of 2 cents per hundred was equivalent to 17 marks, ($4.265), per metric hundred welght. The count quoted the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce report, asserting that the United States was excluding German goods by im- posing dutles which were almost prohibi- | tive. He argued that by increasing the duty on everything imported from the United States the position of the govern- ment ‘would be strengthened in negotlating a commercial treaty with Washington. Wants International Conferen: Herr Gothein, a radical Iiberal member of the Reichstag, makes a singul posal in toaay's lssue of the Natloi suggests that the German government call an international conference to regula duties on iron, so as to prevent manufac- turers from selling at lower prices abroad than they charge at home. In other words, to take action similar to that of the re cent international conference at Brus the imposition of countervalling duti that the construction of river steamers has been driven from the German Rbine to Holland because German manufacturers sell plates, etc., cheaper by the amount of duty in Holland. Herr Gothein further says that the United States has gone further than other coun- try in this respect, and has suffered less because of its immense home market and large consumption, but he claims, economic depression, which even the United States ls sure to experience, will bring the United States sharper retribution than to other countries, and that country will feel the damaging effects of the system, whem the United States will be forced to sell abroad at the lowest prices possible.
