Action s nec 10 be taken on the law as it exists and not on the law as it should be. In considering the law and solving difficaltles one principle should be constantly in mind, viz., uniformity of tax- ation, This principle {8 recognized In constitution and pre ably is inten be recognized in enactments of the lature While 1 is hoi st yea as on proposition submitted adopted of the ndeavored to sustain the action rd in the controversy the ground that a hearing had nted to the complaln ants and th in dispute had been determined, 1 then re 1 have always claimed that is for the vaiuation of property for mu- taxatlon was at its fair value in ance with the expressed requirements statute and not 40 per cent of such If this rule was followed and ap- all property alike, uniformity of would bo secured. Unfortunately different method Is provided in t rter of metropolitan cities for d termining the valuation and assessment of rallroad property than Is provided for the determination of the value and assessment of other property. This difference brings on the contraversy now existing Must Not Confliiet w natitution, With reference to the sment of th real and personal property and franchise within the city belonging to persons, part- nerships, associations and corporations, not exempt by law from taxation, the tax com- missioner and his deputies are required to assces and value the same at their “fair cash value.’ With rence to railroad property, the tax nissioner Is require 0 take ‘the valuat nd a same from the returgs made Board of Equalizatioh to the cou Other sections ot the charter p the holding of a board ual the councll for the purpose o all taxes and assessments. 1 consider that these several provisions should be consldered together and should be &0 cone strued that they will harmonize, if po: sible, and at the same time not be conflict with any provision of the constit tion. constitution (Section 1, Article provides: he legislature shall provi such revenue as may be needful b levying a tax by valuation, €0 that every erson_and corporation shall pay a tax n proportion to the value of his, her or {lg property and tranchises. the Value to ascertained in such manner as the legislature shall direct.” ‘Two things are made prominent in the foregoing provision of the conatitution: 1. Tha* every person shall pay a tax in Soswow w the value of his property. 2.'That such value shall be ascertained in_ such manner as the legislature shall direct State Figures Subject to Review. It 1s claimed that the legislature has directed that the valuation of railroad prop- erty shali be ascertained by the State Board of Equalization. 1 do not consider this clalm_correa. It fs true the legislature has directed the tax ¢ missioner to take the valuation and assessment of rallroad roperty from the returns made by the Btate Boara ot Equalization to the county clerk, but as 1 view the matter, even though this were done, such valuation would be subject to review by this board as well as the assessment of the property of other persons and corporations which the law requires shall be placed by the tax commissioner and b deputies at its fair cash value. No other construction would result in uniformity of taxation; no other construction would glve force or Vitality to other provisions of the charter vesting in the council as a Board of Equall- zation the power to “‘equalize all taxes and assessments,” and to correct any errors in the listing of valuation of property. The alternative writ o mandamus issued in the case of State ex rel Shriver et al against Karr et al. was construed by the supreme court to be substantially a com- mand o investigate values and equalize the assessment of property so that the cor- fuh\llflml complained of shall pay a tax n proportion to the value of thelr prop- erty and franchises. At this point Mr. Connell quotes from the opinion of Judge Sedgwick in the Shriver case and comments on the same. weal Boord Has Jurisdiction. Continuing, Mr. Connell says: As the result of my consideration in this matter, 1 am of the opinion that the council now altting as a board of equali- zation has the right and power, after §iving notice to the railroad companies, to bring the valuation and assessment of ail raliroad property within the corporate lim- its of the city of Omaha up to the same standard of valuation us s applied to the assessment of property of inaividuals and other corporations. 1 regard this as cor- Tect, without reference to whether the valuation of raflroad property now before the board as determined by the tax com- missioner apd Board of Review was taken from the returns made by the State Board of Equalization to the county clerk or de- termined by the tax commissioner and Board of Review. 1f the method of taking such valuation from the returns made by the state board is such as to not requirc rallroads to pay @ tax in proportion to the value of other property, then it s clearly unconstitutional and void; if such pro- vision is not consistent with other existing provisions of law, so as to make roperty the subject of “equalization by his board so that it will its proper proportion to other property, then, for such Teason also, it would be unconstitutional and_vold 1 believ sirable cured at .. lature as wil al bas nict ee om vide for ation by equalizing in it Is very important and de ich le ation should be se. sent session of the legls- harmonize these doubtful “T could tell you no more Should I preach a whole year "’ —Longfellow By proaching a whole year it is true that much might be told of the merits of Gorham .

Already signs of the renewed aggressive- | ness of the Union Pacific strikers are ap- | parent. Yesterday several of the oficials in- | volved were out on the road again, stirring up matters and looking after the progress of affairs generally. Al during the period of stagnation marked by the conference the leaders were assembled in Omaha, wait- ing for developments. Now they are actively at work again. Blacksmiths' headquarters at the Drexel hotel were en- tirely deserted yesterday, as Committeeman Kline and all his subordinates were out on the road, scattering to various points. Saturday afternoon comes the big event, when the executive committees of the boiler makers, machinists and blacksmithe will meet. This session may be productive of important results. It s thought that Tom Wilson, fourth vice president of the International = Assoclation of Machinists, will arrive In time to participate, and with with Kline, there will be reptesentation of all three branches by the head men. Further plans than those already outlined for the emphasizing of the strike will be discussed and adopted and everything put in shipshape for a long siege. Strikers say that a petition for better food and more of It, signed by ffty-nine strike breakers at North Platte, has been forwarded to President Burt.

ONLY TENHOT DAYS IN YEAR Some Interesting Features of the ‘Weather Conditions at Omaha During 1902, Local Forecast Ofcial Welsh has just completed a summary of the weather of tie | year 1902, which shows a number of inter- | esting facts not before published. The maximum temperature for the year was reached on July 16, when the thermom- eter stood at 96 degrees above. This was |6 degrees cooler than the maximum for {1901, During last year there was only ten | days that the thermometer went above 90 degrees, while the year before that forty- four days went above the ninety mark and hirteen days were above 100. The record for the month of April was broken last year by a temperature of 92 degrees above, within | 4 degrees of the maximum for the entire year. The wind showed unusual efforts dur- ing 1902, 1t running 1,300 miles greater than in the year previous. | The last month of the year broke its rec- | ord for precipitation, there Lelpg two and three-quarters inches during the month. | The total raintall of the year was thirty | inches and twenty-five inches of snow fell. Although it was the general opinfon that there was a great excess of rain last year, | in reality at Cmaha there was a deficlency of over an inch. There were a great many | days of rain, but no very heavy rains. The | record snows: Clear days, 107; partly | cloudy, 138; cloudy, 120; days when meas- urable amount of rain fell. 109, ‘OMAHA AS A SHOE MARKET | Boston Trade Paper Ranks This ¢ s the Eleventh on the List. | An annual review just issued by a trade | Journal of Boston shows that Omaha is the eleventh city of the union in velume of shoes handled, being exceeded only by St Louls, Baltimore, Chicago, New York, Phil- adelphia, Pittsburg, New Orleans San Fran- clsco, Lynchburg and Cincinnatl. The total number of cases of goods shipped to Omaha trom Boston during the year was 60,000, while 41,000 went to Kansas City and 54,000 to Columbus, O., which s looked upon as one of the oldest and best shoe markets in the country. The total shipments to St Louls, which is acknowledged to be largest shoe market in the world, was less than ten times as much as that shipped to Omaha, While it was more than eleven | times as mych as that shipped to Kansas City.

REV, A, W, CLARK TAKES ANOTHER VIEW Cousequently the Superintendent of the Omaha Ohild Saving Insti- tate May Bring Legal Action Against State Institution, Arthur Adams, a colored boy of tender | years and emall pretension, is growing in jmportance as a bone of contention and pos- sibly may figure in a trial of legal strength between A. W. Clark, superintendent of the Child Saving institute at Eighteenth and Ohio streets, and Superintendent Beghtol of the State Industrial school at Kearney. The contest, if there be one, will be in good spirit and induced entirely by radically dif- fering views of the two gentlemen as to the province of the Kearney school. Arthur and & paler boy robbed a candy |shop and were caught at it. The paler boy's father took him in charge and the | court let him go. Arthur had po father | and was sent to the industrial school. Su- perintendent Clark interested himself in the case and located in Jefferson, Mo., an aunt of the boy, who has money and s willing to stand sponsor for him. Judge Baxter, upon being appealed to, told Mr. Clark the proper course would be to have Superintendent Beghtol of the industrial | school release the boy on parole, so that | he can be returned if he wets improperly. | Superintendent Clark acted on this sugges- tion, but received from Dr. Beghtol a re- sponse which surprises him and which he conslders very unwisely grounded. Clark on Beghtol's Theory. “It is Dr. Beghtol's theory that the indus- trial school attendance should be increased {rather than held to the minimum,” sald | Rev. Clark to a Bee reporter. *“He mnot only declines to parole Arthur, but he states that there are three hun- dred or more other boys over the state who are not, but who should be In the establishment. He declares it is an educational institution, confinement in which does no injury to the boy's standing in later years, and I take it that he consid- ers it Nebraska's duty and desire to make it as large an institution as possible. “My own views are radically different I think his whole premises are wrong and I am going to take up with him the matter of the Adams boy at & very eariy date. 1 shall not threaten, but shall speak plainly, and if he still persists 1 may have to take another course Begin Hed Rock. strength and Health, | digestion it perfect or no pay by Kuhn & Co.

A Remarkable Record, It is an interesting fact that in October of the year 1780—just a year before Corn- wallis surrendered at Yorktown, twenty- seven years before Fulton started his first steamboat on the Hudson river and fifty- seven years beforé the electric telegraph came Into use—the Baker Cocoa and Choco- late factory was established in Dorchester on the site now occupied by one of the large mills of that company. Over 122 years of uninterrupted success. Think of it! What other manufacturing concern in this or indeed, in any other country can show such an extended record of business prosperity? What 18 the secret of their great success? It 18 a very simple one. They have won and held the confidence of the great and constantly increasing body of consumers by always maintaining the highest stand- ard in the quality of their cocoa and ¢ olate preparations'and selling them at the lowest prices for which unadulterated ar- ticles of good quality can be put upon the market, They recelve numerous letters from housckeepers who have used thelr cocoa and chocolate for many years, stating that lately, when ordering the Baker goods other goods of greatly Inferior quality have been sent to them. They find it neces sary, theretore, for the protectiou of those who want their cocoa and chovolate, (o jssue an emphatic warning against these traudulent practices and to ask buyers to examine every package they receive and ece that it bears the well known trad mark of “La Belle Chocolatiere” and t correct name of Walter Bal & Co., Lta Under the courts, no other cocoa or chocolate is en- titled to be labelled or sold as Cocoa" or ‘“‘Baker's Chocolate.” Publish your legal notices in The Weekiy Bee.
