Be Held Today. Menity Pled of Keeping Campaign An 1o Assessments and Samcient Revenfe Are Now Apparent. Seenring sym 2 Staff Corresponisnt.)/ LINCOLN, May 2.-(Special)—The State Board of Assessment will meet tomorrow | 1o begin the valuation of railroad property | taxation purposes. It Is likely it will a week or two before the board geis down to resl work, ak three of the mem- bers are new to the business and it will take time for them to get onto the ropes. The some new members are Governor Shallen- berger, Land Commissioner Cowles and Auditor Barton. Mr. Barton Is now in Chicago looking after some insurance com panies and will mot be here when the board Organizes (omorrow. The board will re-elect Chris Schaviand for lis secretary, and by virtue of his po- sitlon the governor is ex-officlo chairman. Cansiderable interest attaches to this particular board and its final actfon, in the matter of the assessment of railroad property. During the campalgn the dem- ocratic state committee got out th usands of circulars to show the farmers their land was assessed too high compared with the assessment of rallroad property, and the promise was made to increase rall- road values and decrease land values. In view of this promise on the part of the democrats, State Treasurer Brian and Sec- retary of State Junkin announced right after election they would endorse any raise the governor saw fit to make to the valuation of raflroad property and that they intended to permit him to go ahead unbindered in an effort to keep his prom- lses. These two officers know that rail- roud values are increased very —much freight rates are liable to go up accord- ingly, and if elther the raliroad or land values are decreased then comes a de- ficlency in the state government's finances, because the state cannot get along with any less revenue as it Is man- aged at present. it Status of Supreme Court Cane. Dembcrats who come to Lincoln do not seem to be worried about aandidates for supreme judge. They are of the opinion that Tom Allen Is strong enough to elim- inate all but three candidates, so if holds the non-partisan judiciary valid the democratic vote will not divided. Others who are looking on, how- arc of the opinion that Mr. Allen will net be able to handle the situation Judge Dean and Judge Oldham (by virtue of Governor Shallenberger) will both run, and If the Shallenberger judges are knocked out In the court then Judge’ Sullivan may be a candidate. That is thyee and there is a mighty bunch in the bushes which Mr. Allen will have to lariat to keep out of the running. Judge Francis G. Hamer of Kedrney is the latest to get in the game. The judge was here last week and he has started out his petitions, and he expects to secure his 000 signatures in a. little while. Judge Hamer served two terms as district judge in the Buffalo county district. Supreme court meets tomorrow, and it is probable before the adjournment for the week the court will hand down its decleion in the case wherein Governor Shallenberg- er's judges are (rying to oust Governor Sheldon's judges. The case was argued some weeks ago. court No-License Advocates Busy. The no license advocates in Lincoln had another big day today. KFormer Goverhor Hoch of Kansas spoke both in the after- at the Auditorium, in the afternoon to men only, and on both occa- sions the house was full. He will also re- main and speak tomorrow night, which wiil wind up the campaign. For several nights the no license advo- cates have been holding street meetings, and last night a number of wagons wece | out suitably decoratéd with banners, eaci holding a number of men and women sing- ers and talkers. The advocates of 6:30 closing have been taking things very calmly and are making no outward demonstration, but they ex- pect to win, while the no license people say they are certain to win Mayor Brown returned yesterday from Iilinols, where he has been to attend the funeral of a relative, and he has jumped into the game for Bob Malone, the demo- cratic candidate for mayor.
