Wilson of Pawnee thenm observed that thérs were “‘some people who shy at the word “corporation’ the minute they he it lke a wild horse at a street car.”” As a member of the committee that framed the bill, he pleaded for the Gilbert amend- ment. Loomis Opposes Amendment. Loomis of Dodge, tusion leader and one of the authors of the revenue bill, made a strong and logical argument against the amendment, contending that the constitu- tion specifically warranted the classification and method proposed in the bill, that of direétly taxing the tangible property and franchise separately. Loomis brought out the polnt that the proposition embodied in the Gilbert amendment was presented to the joint revenue committee by Sweezy of Adams; ‘6te of its members, and wao then denominatéd the “Sweesy 1d “It is true,” sald Mr. Loomis, “that rep- resentatives of the Omaha Street Rallw: company, did appear before our committee and argue that this amendment ides would tend to raise thelr taxes and was desirel by them to enable them to escape politics and_ {itigation, I think there is something else back of this,” sontinued Mr. Loomis. “I think those_ figures quoted by 1'dou’t think thess sorpor tions hate politics or wpend any extra money for litigation over these things.

When the vote was taken on the Gilbert amendment it was lost, Rafiroad Taxa The work of the day on the revenue bill had brought the house up to that portion dealing with railroad taxation. It was after 5 o'clotk and as the order had been made soveral days ago to hold night sessions until this bill was disposed of, the rail- road's scheme was to start in on the pro- visions of the bill relating to them tonight, knowing that it could not be wound up, but would be left incomplete and give them time during the night and before the morning session t0 accomplish some e fective lobbying. But a clever coup. en- acted by the other side, with Loomis as the spokesman, prevented ‘this and com- pletely routed the other side. Loomis made a motlon to adjourn until 9 o'clock Thurs- day morning, saying that the members were fatigued and needed rest. Speaker Mockett hesitated to put the motion, maintaining that as the house had already begun the consideration of the rev- enue WMl as a special order and decided to hold- night meetings until that order was disposed of, it could not thus depart from the ar nt. Loomis was prepared for this move, how- ever, and Insisted that from a parlia- mentary standpoint his motion was rig The result was that, before any except a few of the members on the inside knew what going on, the house had carried Loomls' motlon. . The friends of genuine revenue revision, who are the enemies of this bill in its n Next. present shape, are greatly encouraged over this and other Yroceedings to- day and believe they have a- better chance than ever of overthrowing the at- tempt of the railroads to prevent legislation that will compel them to pay their just proportion of taxation. Effort to Stop Invest! When the Bartley investigation commit- tee meets again Thursday at 1 o'clock it will have as witnesses United States Dis- trict Attorney W. 8. Summers, former At- torney General C. J. Smyth, former State Representative George Meade and Tom Den- ison of Omaha, who were subpoenaed to- day, and others whose names are with- held by request at this time. The com- mittee is assured of some vital testimony. It is thoroughly understood that that ele- ment which feels called upon, for obvious reasons, to exert every effort to suppress this investigation, is playing to have the committee vote to discontinue the meet- ings after the hearing tomorrow, but plans are maturing now which promise to yleld serlous obstructions to this scheme. Said a gentleman today who claims to have something of interest to say to the com- mittee: “If the committee adjourns in the face {of the facts that will be set forth, its action will be indefensible and inexcusable.” It is not at &ll belleved that the com- mittee will be prevalléd upon to drop this matter as long as there is the least hope of getting at any of the hidden sectets in this cigar box scandal. In connection with thjs inveStigation this article, which appeared In a Lincoln paper |in May, 1902, is of {nterest, especially in view of the fact that the bank books men- llon!d‘ and letters bearing upon the case are coitalned in a certain office in this city at present and could be easily obtained, with more tangible evidence: One of the Bartiey Deals. The First National bank in Harlan county needed pome state money, and it needed 1t badly, and State Treasurer Bart- ley was willing to brace it up on certain | conditions. He wanted to include a little transaction of his own to help out some Lincoln friends. In 1595 the bank had $1,00 of state money. This was Increased in 1898 until November ? the books showed a de- posit of $15,210.06 of state money. This was on Saturday.

Seven of them were for ninety days from Febu- ary 1 and drew 10 per cent. The eighth was for $45.83, on demand, being presuma- Bly for interest. On April 20 the notes were renewed. Their deseription is as fol- lows “One for $M, due August 1, 1807, at 10 per_cent “One for $125, due on demand.

More Fireworks in Sight. “We will have more fireworks tomorrow when we reach the railroad tax provision of the revenue bill,” said Gilbert of Doug- las tonight. “I am going to support the Perry amendment to the bill and I mean to fight for it.” This amendment provides for the union of the market value of rallroads, their floating and bonded indebtedness, minus the value of visible taxable property, for the purpose of taxation. It has gathered to its support a formidable array from minority and majority and cer.ainly has bright prospects of success. The railroads are doing their utmost tonight to stem the tide that has set in against them, but the Indications are not promising for them. |REPORT ON STATE PRINTING Senate Committee i of ‘Opinion that Some Reform is Neces- sary. - (From a Staft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, March 11.—(Special.)—The senate committee on accounts and ex- penditures instructed to examine into the workings of the state printing board thinks the expense of the state printing is en- tirely too much and in its report today made recommendations to overcome the evil. Following is the substance of the re- port: Your committee on accounts and ex- penditures instructed to investigate the workings of the state printing board, have du‘liy examined the records of sald board and find that only lé’ort!nn of the printed supplies contemplated by law to be pur- chased by and througl ihe printing board have been, so purchased, and this not only during the last blennium, but during the biennium preceding it. Questioned by your committee as to why al been purchased by sald board, the afficls of the board stated that it was due to fallure of the heads of departments an state Institutione to.furnish quarterly e: timates as is plainly required by law. In- quiry from the officlals of the board prior to the last blennium elicited the same in- formation. The board was of the opinion that If the law should be observed all state officials and the officers of state in- stitutions, and the entl of the state be purch and _contracted for by the printing board, as directed by law, the costs of same would be materially reduced. Your committee visited each department of state and by the heads of each in turn it was admitted that during the last bi- ennium the heads of each department, from the governor's office down, and the heads of each state institution had pur- chased stationery and thelr needed office supplies as they saw fit, aiming to place orders to the best advantage possible. Thelr attention was called to the law gov- erning the purchage of such supplies, and by each it was admitted that the provis- fons of the statutes had been disregarded. Ignorance of the law was given by some as the reason for such disregard, while these stated that they were familiar with the law, but had simply followed in the footsteps of their predecessors. All agreed that the law should and would be strictly adhered to hereafter, and each was of the opinion that such a course would result in a great saving to the state. A further conference was held with the rinting board and it was agreed that ereafter the board would insist that all rinting and printed supplies must be furnished through and by the printing board, as contemplated by law. The' committee suggests two plans—an appropriation should be made to cover the entire costs of state printing, advertieing for bids and the salary of thé experts, or an appropriation should be made to cdver the salary of the printing expert, for ad- Vertisiag and a specific appropriation for each department of the state government. In the report the committee favors the latter plan. Following this report, 8.

TOUCH FIREWORKS IN HOUSE Franchised ‘Corporation Assessment Amendment 1s the Occa- sion. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Neb., March 11.--(Special.)— By unanimous consent of the house McClay of Lancaster thfs morning introduced H. R. 488 with the governor's recommenda tion, empowering the board of public lands and buildings to petition the city council of Lincoln for 'the paving of those streets on the ‘east §nd south abutting on the capitol grounds. ' The bjil was read for the first time.}’ 4 The house' thiii’ went into committee of the ‘whole and resumed consideration of the revenue bill, beginning with section’ 60. An amendment by Loomis of Dodge was adopted (o section 61, striking out the words “that operate on the assessment plan, have no capital stock and make no dividends,” relating to the taxation of Ne- braska life, fire or accident insurance or surety companies, except fraternal beme- ficlary assoclations and mutual companies on thelr gross premiums. Section 62 was the cause of prolonged and sharp and at times, pointed debate. It was over the tax that should be ex- acted of peddiers. The original section provided an annual tax of $6 outside of the limits of towns or cities for pedestrians, $15 for peddlers with one-horse vehicles and $25 for two-horse vehicles. An amend- ment by Rouse of Hall changed these fig- ures respectively to $25, $50 and $75. When that part of the bill dealing with corporations was reached, Gilbert of Doug- Jas' proposed the amendment looked for to change the bill so as to admit street rail- ways, water works, electric and gas com- panies to the system of taxation proposed in the case of express, telegraph and tole- phone companies, to tax their gross earn- ings for ome year as a franchise tax, in addition to the levy on tangible property. After a lengthy and spirited debate the amendment was put to vote and lost. An emendment by Deles Dernier of Cass provided to assess by the state board of equalization Instead of ‘he local assessor, corporations operating railroad bridges or highways Independent of railroad com- panies, compelling the valuation fixed by the state board to be returned to the local assessor as a basis for taxation. Ten Eyck opposed the amendment for he sald it would exempt from local tax- ation the East Omaha and Omaha & Coun- cil Blufts motor bridges over the Missourl river and let them be valued exclusively by the state board. Deles Dernier cast the lone vote for his amendment, which therefore was lost. At 5:15 o'clock the house adjourned until 9 o'clock Thursday morning. Governor Mickey today sent to the house a request that these items be incorporated in the general appropriation bill: Thirty thousand dollars for a hospital at the Sol- dlers’ home at Milford; $5,000 for a stand pipe, $10,000 for a power house, $4,000 for commissary department and a quartermas- ter at Grand Island; $2,000 for a laundry, $2,600 for a dynamo and engine. These items are recommended by the committees on eoldiers’ homes, fhance, ways and means, accounts and expenditures an¥ pub- lie lands and buildings.
