THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THUREDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1903, ATTACK TBE REVENUE LAW Brief Filed in Bupreme Oonrt Raises Several New Points. ASSERTS THAT THE BANKS ARE FAVORED Ne Reference is Made in the Brief to Opintons Filed with the Court by the Three Commi: sfoners, (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Nov, 25.—(8pecial.)~The brief | in the revenue law case filed In the su-| preme court by Greene, Breckenridge & Kinsler on behalf of the insurance com- panfes to compel Tax Commissioner Flem. ing of Omaha to enforcs the proyisions of the old revenue law, attacks the new law a8 to its constitutionality under four heads: The provisions for assessment upon a pen alty; the discriminstion In favor of banks #nd against all individuals and corpora- tion the Incongruous and discriminatory provisions for the assessment of Insurance companies; ;the proposition to levy an as wessment upon Interstate commerce by re- quiring express, telegraph and telephone companies to pay a local tax upon their gross earning: The attorneys for the re- Iators paint out a number of other sections | that they assert invalidate the law, but say that It would be impossible to discuse each of them, so therefore classify their attack under the four subheads named. Upon these questions raised the three commis:loners have already passed on In their opinions filed Monday afternoon, each of them hoMing that with the exception of the inswrance sections, those attacked are unconstitutional, while one held that the Insurance scctions were constitutfonal. In Judge Duffe’s opinion, however, the entire law was held to be invalid because he held the Insurance seotions were bad. The brief of the relators calls attention to the fact that the old revenue law was enacted In 167 and that it had frequently ‘been amended and had been the subject of many decfslons of the supreme court and therefore it embodied the “wisdom of twen- ty-five years of legislation and as many | years of judictal decisfons.” It states that the new revenue law was enacted because | of sentiment worked up by parties in | Omaha who desired the taxes on real es- personal property. The brief holds that | he framers of the new law pald little heed | to the requirements of the constitution. The greatest portion of it is filled with argu- ment to prove that the insurance sections of the law are unconstitutional, which two of the commissioners have already concured in. A number of other sections not hereto- fore touched on are also attacked briefly. Other Sections Attacked. The briet asserts that section 12 of the new law Is vold because it provides that the revenue for the state is to be raised by the taxation of property upon an as- eessment based upon a per cent of the val- uation, when the constitution provides that the taxes shall be levied according to the valuation of the property taxable. Taken in connection with sections 59 and 6, which require certain corporations to pay their taxes intc the state treasury, the brief claims, makes its vice clearly apparent. Section 16, It is held, I8 not germane to the agt in that it creates a lien in favor of persons assessed and taxed in a repre- sentative capacity upon property which they may have in thelr possession belohg- ing to an Individual or -corporation for whose taxes they have been made person- ally liable. The brief sald this may be falr and constitutional, but not in a revenue act. Seotion. 28 provides for,the assessment of ®hares of stock of joint stock or other companies when the capital stock of such company I8 not asscssed in this state. The aot makes no provisions for the assessment of the capital stock of any Corporation created under the laws of this state ex- cepting only banks, loan and trust and in- vestment companies. Section 6 contais a provision requiring the county assessor tQ add 50 per cent pen- alty to tho valuation made by the deputy assessor where the owner or taxpayer fails to return his property. The penalty clause is_held to be unconstitutionel because it provides for the assessment on a penalty to be added to the actual valuation of the property. Sectfon 66, which provides for the assess- ment_and taxation of all individuals who are defined as grain brokers, regardiess of the value of their property, is claimed by the brief to be class legislation becauss it singles out grain brokers and it violates the uniformity clause of the constitution. The other scctions mentioned in the brief are those upon which arguments we: made before the supreme court comm! sloners. They include the insurance sec- tions, wections 77 and T8 providing for the assessment upon the gross receipts of tele- graph, express and telephone companles; wséction 123, providing for a forfeiture of #6500 to be recovered by the county in a eivil action against any person who refuses to properly answer questions propounded by the county Board of Equalization. It is held that this oreates a double penalty and is taking property without due process of law., The brief sald “opinions may differ | as to the gravity of some of the unconsti- iU tutional sections of the act. Manifestly In view of the sentiment to which reference been made and whicl, resulted in the erfti- its enactment, but If sections 16, 6, 123, 124, 163 its defects ha legislation under consideration, ever clsed section was an inducement to and 188 can go out without affecting utter demolition, certaln of the pointed out dnquestionably nullify the en tire act No mention is made in the brief regarding the opinfons handed down by the commis. sloners. - Mrs. Sylvia near here, has for Broken Les.

COMPACT IS RATIFIED AT NOON TODAY No More a Betterment of and New Wage Seale May Mea Money, but Working Hours other Benefl ) CHICAGO, Nov. %.--The Chicago street car men's strike was brought to a close today by the ratification by the men of a compact agreed upon by thelr leaders and representatives of the company. After thirteen days of turmoll, service on the various lines of the Chicago City Rall- way company covering an area of twenty- five aquare miles, was resumed. The strikers met In Federation hall, which has been their headquarters and the place was crowded when President Buckley, of the local organization called the meeting to order. The first act was to exclude newspaper men from the hall, and for nearly two hours thereafter the public was ignorant of the detalls of the proceedings. Sounds indicat:ng that speeches were belng made and frequent cheering gave evi- dence that the terms arranged by the strike leaders were acceptable. The first news from the hall was that by a practically unanimous vote the men had accepted the in the matter of wages, the scale to be based on wages pald in other cities. Soon after a second announcement proclaimed the acceptance of the whole compact. " | proposition Back to the Barns. With this announcement came the state- ment that the unfon men had been ordered to report to the various barns ready to take out cars immediately. The agresment as *atified by the men and previously accepted by representativ of the company provides for the settlement of the wage question by a board of ar- bitration. Thelr present wages are not to figure in the caloulations, but instead the new scale is to be based on the market value of the men's services. As the com- pany claims to pay the best wages, the new arrangement, It {s thought, may net result In an advance in the pay of the employes. Clause 11, of the agreement, provides for the betterment of the working hours, a rew schedule to be arranged by the com- pany in conference with a committee of trainmen. The company retains the right to run as many cars as are necessary at . | all times, “endeavoring always,” the agree- ment runs, “to make the work as agreeable to the men as is consistent with the Der- formance of its duty to the public.” .| The thira and last clause provides th.t the strikers shall be taken back without prejudice. Membership in the union shall not constitute proper cause for discharge from the company's employment. With this exception, the company retains the right to employ, discharge, or disciplain its employes as it sees fit. The agreemgnt resolution was passed unanimously, but not without careful con- sideration. About two-thirds of the mem- bership of the unfon was present. Some Qlssent was expressed in the discussion by the cable men, hut they raised no protest when the vote was called\for, There was eneral satisfaction among the men and the sentiment for peace arranged by the officers was overwhelming.

Bach section was explained at length. _Unions vote strikes on and vote them off. I never rejoice over a victory or lament_over a defeat. 1 hope there will never be another strike on the line. Mayor Harrison declares Chicago has great reason for being thankful for the set- tlement of the street rallway strike. He .| says the cltizens have been living In a powder magazine, in which were men walk- ing about with lighted matches in their ¢|hands. The city is almost as much to be . | congratulated on the fact that the maga- _ | sine aia not explode as on the settlement of the dispute in his opinton. .| “I think,” sald Mayor Harrison, ‘‘the agreement is as falr as it could be made without fighting the thing out to the last diteh. Our purpose was to get both sides together to prevent a fight to the last ditch, for in that kind of a fight it is the public that suffers. We have great cause for thanksgiving, and T hope it will be a long, | long while before we have another street rallway strike." Re: ption of Service Delayed. Although o basis of settlement of the strike of the employes of the Chicago Clty Rallway company was decided on at 1:30 o'clock this morning and the agreement w: » | ratified by the men a few hours later, not “|a single car is In service tonight. The only cars operated today were manned by nonunion crews under the same conditions that have prevailed since the inauguration of the strike a week ago. For some un- explained reason the management of the Chicago City Rallway company was not of- ficlally notified until tonight that the strike had been declared off Tonight Assistant Chief of Police Schuet- tler, who has charge of the police who have been guarding the cars, was notifled that his services would be required no longe as word had been recefved by Manager M Cullagh, from President Mason of the strikers’ union that the strike had been de- clared off. The trajnmen have been ordered to report for duty at 4 o'clock tomorrow morning. This makes the time elapsed | since the walkout fourteen days to the hour and minute. The electric linemen, firemen and engineers, cable splicers and coal teamsters returned to work tonight and tomorrow the road will be operated under normal conditions. President Mahon of the natfonal organtsa- | tion of street car men tonight wired Con- gressman Livernash of San Francisco to represent the employas of the Chicage €ity Rallway company in the arbitration of the wage scale. Livernash represented the £an Francisco men in the recent New Yoork arbitration.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 2.—Another meet- ing of the Butchers' union has been called for tonight to discuss measures to be taken against owners of blg packing houses in view of the fact jat the employers have ignored the demands of the men.

FAIRBURY, Neb, Nov. 2.--(Speclal)- Fred Busing, who was hit yesterday by the falling cornice at the Steele opera house bullding, died at 1 o'clock this morn- ing. His skull was fractured. Mr. Busing had resided in this county for about thirty- five years, and lsaves & widow and follr or Pe l five children, most of whom are grown. One singular feature is that on coming to the city yesterday he went to his lawyer and gave directions for the making of his will, and promised to return after dinner and sign the instrument. He was on his way to his lawyer's office when he stepped under the falling cornice.

BLAIR, Neb, Nov. %.—(Special.)—The business men, city and county officlals of Blair have been “worked" badly by a nice and dignified appearing woman of perhaps 4 or 50 summers, whose successful graft was to make each person to whom khe appealed for help think he was the only one in the city who would be made ac- quainted with her circumstances. This lit- tle bit of voluntary confidence worked to a charm, and the dollars were handed out to the tune of 100 or more. She sald she wished to reach Duluth from her home in Kansas City, and was_bankrupt. She would enter an office or business house and tell the proprietor she wished to speak with him in private a few minutes, and then present her appeal for money. She evi- dently has started In to work the towns of this state, as she took an early afternoon train for the west. S8ome of those who so generourly donated to this charity fund are now scratching their' heads and trying to find some way to explain what they did with their Thanksgiving turkey money. She was cffered a drink of whisky by the proprietor of one of the business houses, and emptied the contents of a half pint flask without taking it from her lips.

USCEOLA, Neb, Nov. %.—(Special)— Yesterday was a big day for the old sol- diers and Woman's Rellef corps of Osceol: for they had planned a surprise party for one of their comrades, Frederick Timm, and it was suceessful. The comrade lives about four miles from 'town, and the “old boys and girls" chartered teams and ‘busses and went out to the number of more than forty, and got there before din- ner. Comrade TYmm was out in the corn- fleld, husking, and returned at noon to find the crowd in possession, He immediately threw up his hands and surrendered, and the crowd had everything their own way, In behalf of the post, Judge Saunders pre- sented Comrade Timm with a very nice armchalr.

Nebraska City Grocers Give In, NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., Nov. %.—(Spe- clal.)—The telephope war that has been waged here during the past two months between the Nebraska Telephone company and the local grocers’ assoclation was probably broken today by three of the lo- cal grocers placing the Bell 'phones In their .stores. The boycott of the grocers was caused by the telephone company ad- vancing the rate for business ‘phones, and the grocers refused to stand for the raise. There were a few grocers who did not join forces with the others, time they have secured a gréat deal of the patronage which was before given to the assoctation. The telephone people claimed that the improvement of their service made the rise in rates justifiable, and the resi- dence subscribers of the company scemed also to take this view of the matter, as they refused to have the Bell 'phones re- moved from their residences, and as a matter of course gave their orders to gro- cers having the samo 'phone. It 1s ex- pected that all of the grocers will now have | the Bell service, as well as the Independent. Mulet Rallroad for Damages.
