1 NE————————— e —— 10 FOR EQUITABLE TAXATION Real Estate Exchange Committee Begina Oampaign Against the Railroads. WILL URGE CHANGE IN CITY CHARTER rinking is to Amend rond Property May Be Asseaned Same as Other Property. The tax committee of the Real Estate exehange has begun an active campaign for the .repeal of that provision of the city charter which compels the tax commis- sloner to accept as the assessed valuation of the rallroad property within the city limits the returns of the State Board of Hqualization. In furtherance of its plan a meeting was held yesterday at the Commercial elub rooms between the committee anel the Douglas county delegation to the legislature. All members of the delegation were present except Riggs and Mangold. The meeting opened with a short talk by W. G. Ure, eretary of the committee, in which he outlined the object of the committee and stated the conditions existing in Omaha by reason of the provision of the charter, which he maintains was in contravention of the provision of the state constitution. Mr. Ure submitted a statement of the taxes paid by certain people and firms compared with the taxes of the railroads. Few Legislators Talk. After citing the constitutional, statutory and charter provisions in regard to taxa- tion and assessment, Mr. Ure said: Rallroads Get Off Easy. For the 183 city assessment Tax Com- missioner Fleming has listed all property at what he considered falr cash value. As a matter of fact, we all know of large amounts of property listed at much more than it can be sold for. On the other hand, the State Board of Equalization con- fessedly assessed fallroad property at one- sixth of fair cash vaiue. as a matter of fact, assessed it at one-eleventh of fair cash value, for I am reliably informed that rafiroad and kindred property in Nebraska is worth $325,000,000 for purposes of {ncome and sale, and this value Is confirmed by in- vestigation made by The Omaha Bee. All the railroad property In the state and kindred property is assessed in 1902 at §2 000,000, which is a little less than one- eleventh of §325,000,000. 1f we must follow the charter provision the railroads will PAY & tax of a certain number of mills one-eleventh of fair cash value, Wwhil every other property owner in Omaha will 3 a tax of the sime number of mills on ull valu But that the tax is much more unfalr than this is evident when we look into the method of the state board asses.ment. They assess the railroad as a unit, that is, they amcertaln the value of the main right-of-way; they add to of all side and passing tracks, and the value of Nebraska's portion of the rolling stock. This total is divided by the number of miles of thain track, and the assessment is apportioned to the counties through which the road passes, according to the number of miles of main track each has. The result of this method 18 that $26,000.000 worth of property entirely within the Hmits of Omaha is taken by e board and distribited over the nd the city of Omaha gets back an assessment of $130,246 on the Union Paclfi Northwestern and Burlington systems, the only Omaha roads over which the state bodrd has jurisdiction. Thus it is seen that the rafiroad property in Omaha Is not assessed at one-eleventh of fair cash value but at"tho fraction that $10.46 1s of $2 W0, or one-one hundred ‘and ninety second of fair cash value, or slightly more than one-half of 1 per cent of fair cash value. If we must continue to be Soverned by this clause in the charter it » that the property which Tax Com- missioner Fleming and the Board of R view has found to be worth $25,000,000 shall 80 Beottsfree of taxes, for the tax the raliroads will pay on the $130,46 assess- ment is inconsiderable. Comparison of Assessments. Compare it with some other assessments. fhe First National Bank building and 66x 182 feet of ground is assessed at $240,000, This bullding in which we meet (oday (the Board of Trade) and @6x132 feet of ground is aswessed at $165,000, and the New York Life bullding | at $650,000, or just five times as much the state board's assessment of the Omaha terminals of the three rallway systems, whioh include more than 60 acres of land, much of it In the heart of the city, 13 miles of track, three frelght and three passenger depots, and the west half of the Missouri river bridge The M. E. Smith company Is assessed on merchan 3312,500; Paxton & Gallagher, 3$267,000, and . P. Kirkendahl, $120,000. The terminal facilities of the Burlington, ncluding about 150 acres of land, thirty miles of track, the new passenger station and the large freight depot, is assessed at Evans' home is assessed y C. Barton's at ${5,35 and W. Wattles' at $27,475. The fact is, gen- there Is nothing in cll the list that P to you for relief as does this atter of the repeal of this clause in our charter, because if it must remain and if e ust-be governed by it every taxpayer & directly and every citizen indi- ncnx made to carry a burden that is not his own. By tiis method the street ear company must pay about $12,000 that the raflways ought to pay. the gas company about 8,000, the telephone company about 000, the First National bank about 1,200 uy taxpayer who pays § clty taxes'on 8 home, his vacant lot or his household goods pays at least 31 that the raflroads ought to pay; or put it the other way, pays 1 for the railroads. No Effect on Sta Posiibly the mpression is out that the raliroads pay the are of taxes. And @oubtiess the argument will be advanced that if Omaha gets a larger share there will be that much less for the other coun- ties. In reply to this we have only to say that the state-county llxln, district f{s entirely separate-and distinct from the city taxing district. The staté and county gov- efnmenta collect taxes for purposes entirely dlstinct and separate and perform offices that have no connection with the functions of city government. All property within the corporate limits of Omaha enjoys spe- clal privileges and advantages and has increased protection for which the city of ou-h- r-y- and all property within the ts should bear its share of the e hout ing up the question of hether or not the rallroads pay.. their e of taxes in the state, we want to say t the Unlon Pacific rallfoad in the fiscal year ending July 30, 192, made a profit on operation of & little less than $22,000,000. Tt recelves benefits from the city of Omaha it does mot pay for. If it is made to pay $100,000 ity taxes it is only what it owes and out of their $22,000,000 profits it would néver be missea.

After Mr. Ure had concluded members of the fegislative delegation talked, but the ex pression was limited to & few, the majority seeming to prefer to listen rather than to speak. The expressions generally were in harmony with the position of the tax com- mittee, and there was much discussion as to the best means of accomplishing the pur- pose desired, this apparently not having been one of the questions settled upon by the members of the delegation at this time. The tax committee has decided to issue a series of papers dealing with this question of rafiroad taxation in Omaha, with date showing some of the glaring inequalitie DOUGLAS COUNTY UNPLEDGED Not Committed to Thompson for Speaker as Reported in Central City. The Central City Nonparell, in an edi- torial, says the Douglas county delega- tion to the legislature is unanimously in favor of W. T. Thompson for speaker of the house. W. T. Nelson, the only Doug- las county member who could be seen yesterday, says there is no truth in the report. “While we have a rule,” sald Mr. Nelson, “which forbids us discussing pub- lic questions in print without unanimous agreement of the entire delegation on the subject, I think I am warranted in say- ing that there is no truth'in this Central City report. So far as I am concerned, I have made no promise and in this, as in other things, I think no promise will be made until the delegation reaches a unani- mous agreement.” A SAN FRANCISCO PHYSICIAN Uses Herpicide Successfally in Treat- ing Sycosis of the Beard. He says: ‘I recently treated a case of sycosis (similar to ‘barber’s itch’) of the lower lip, with Newbro's Herpicide. There was an extensive loss of beard, with in- flamation extending well down on the chin. The result of the application of Herpicide was most gratifying. The loss of beard ceased and a new growth of hair is now taking place over the once inflamed area. *(Signed.) Melville E. O'Nelll, M.

On Tuesday, January 6th, an excursion will be run from Neoraske to Florida—with through sleeping cars from Omaha and Lin- coln, via Burlington Route to St. Louls and the ““Dixie Fiyer” Route from there to Jack- sonville. This excursion will be a personally eon- ducted one and will be in charge of Mr. George W. Bonnell, C. T. A., 8. & M. R. R., Lincoln, Neb., who is thoroughly tamiliar with the points of interest enroute and in the state ot Florida. As you pass through Cairo, Martin, Nashville, Chattanooga, Atlanta and Macon, and make a 12-hour stopover at Chatta- nooga, where an experienced guide will conduct the party through Chattanoosa Park, pay & visit to Lookout Mountain and other points of interest; the trip will be an interesting and instructive one.

The entire community is on the qui vive over the opening of the “Ben Hur" sale of seats at Boyd's, which opens tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock. The famous spec- tacle opens its week's engagement here next Monday—no Sunday performance being given of “Ben Hur”—and if one can judge from the enthusiasm and interest already manitested, it is safe to predict a very heavy sale tomorrow. Naturally, the first applicants will have the best choice of seats, as a clean box office sheet will be presented to the first purchaser. The com- ing of “Ben Hur" to Omaha is an occasion of unusual importance, and as the big pro- duction is already booked three years ahead in other territory, this will probably be the only opportunity residents in this section will have of witnessing its presentation. The performance will start promptly at § o'clock Monday evening with the beautiful opening tableau, “The Star of Bethlehem,” during which the entire auditorium will be darkened, and no late comer will be seated until the act s over.

F. Band Tells of Government Railronds in Australia and New Zealand. FARE IS ONLY ONE CENT PER MILE sory Arbitration Law Shuts Out Strikes and Brings Constant Advancement = Develop- ment in Labor Interests. Henry Frederick Band of Sidney, Aus- tralia, has arrived {n Omaha and is visiting his daughter, Mrs. Robert B. Stevenson, wife of Superintendent Stevenson of the American Smelting and Refining company. Mr. Band is engaged in business in Sidney. He has recently made an extensive tour through Australia, New Zealand and many of the South Sea Islands, including the Fiji and the Samoan. ““The two things that impress me mostly in Australia and New Zealand are their management of the railroads and their equitable systems of taxation. All raliroads ve a small and unimportant one, are un- der the control of the government, and that one, which is run by private owners under a concession granted by the government, is about to fall into the government's hands,” “All the rallroads under government con- trol are paying good dividends, but this little line, conducted by private individuals, (has never pald. The owners are glad enough to relinquish it to the government. The average passenger rate on government }nes fs 1 cent a mile and this is sufficlent to yleld good returns and place the roads upon a basis substantial enough to make the credit of the government strong with England and enable it to get all the money it needs for improvements and ex- tensions. You could never make an Aus- tralian or a New Zealander think for a minute of turning the railroads over to private concerns. Of course the rolling stock there fs mot entirely equal to what we have in America, but they are rapidly mproving and will, in time, show wonder- ful progress. Thelr trains make good time and afford reasonable comfort In travel, 5o I don't know but that they meet adequately the demands of the oub- He. Pu a Trifle Too Big. “A humorous incident occurred not long ago in Australia. The government bought a lot of Pullman sleepers from this coun- try for use down there. But when an at- tempt was made to run them it was found that the cars were too large to pass through some of the numerous tunnels, and as a re- sult the tunnels had to be hewn out, and then many bridges had to be reconstructed to give passage to the Pullmans. ‘‘One constant stimulus to both New Zea- land and Australia is the eternal rivalry be- tween them. One is ceaselessly bent on outdoing the other in commercial develop- ment and in political advancement, and this brings about mighty good results. Both countries have many notable laws and systems in common. The compulsory arbi- tration law, for instance, is the bulwark of their industrial systems. No strikes there and yet constant advancement and develop- ment in the labor world. “In the regulation of wages and wage workers' schedules in general these coun- tries are ahead of most. One good exaction that Is made of every employer is that they must have a fixed minimum for all workers. They can't get more than that and must be anced regularly and systematically. 'As to the system of taxation, it is euch as to preclude the possibility of corpora- tions oscaping their just share or imposing hardships upon them or other taxpayers. The income tax puts a check on the rapld accumulation of exorbitant and unreasona- ble fortunes which congest the money of the country in the hande of a few individ- uals. T believe this law is largely respo; ble for the fact that there is very little, it any, actual poverty in those ocountries. Everybody gets along with apparent comfort und all seem satisfied.” —_— End of Recent Coal Strike.

Cathers had sued for 36,156 for attorney's services in eight cases and proclaimed him- selt disappointed by the amount awarded.
