Note holders of the state have $,684,002 worth stowed away In their strong-boxes. Of this amount 36,084,996 is secured by mort- gage and $2.619,007 1 listed as “other notes.” It seems quite safe to say no uncollectable notes are heing listed for taxation. Desplte the great aggregation of fn- ventive genlus in Nebraska, but 130 patent rights are paying taxes. These are given a total value of $4,607. Twenty patents are credited to Douglas county citnzens, with an average value of $98.86 each, for taxa- tion oly, not for “talking purposes.” Lan- caster inventors hold ten patent rights, and modestly estimate their value at $19 each Twelve patents are held in Clay county, wherein Clay Center Is a great breeding place for patents, and are given an aver- age value of $0.50. Cash and Book Accounts. Correct account of cash is kept by 2,817 cash registers. One would tnink there are that many In Omaha alone, but not so. The Douglas county assessor could find only 748, and not in extra kood condition, for they go on the tax list at an average value of $11.83. Lancasier has 187 cash rex- isters, with an averpge value of $15.06 Hamilton county, with the city of Aurora in it borders, docsn’'t know what a cash register looks like! evidently, on the taxlst. Sioux and McPherson tles also trust to human honesty date. set out that the merchants of the whoic state had coming to them from customers At the date of the last assessment, $067,591 That s not even $1 for each person in the state, and scems to speak well for the business prosperity of the storekeepers. In Douglas county beok aceounts totaled, $150,- o18; In Lancastor, $119,241; in Gage, 320,086 in Hall, $2 in Dodge, $15,007. Thomas county shows ap only $15 in book accounts, but Benner beats it with only $35. Money in the Bank. on hand or on deposit miways shrinks uneccountably, as compared to bank statements, abcut assessment time. "The total amount spread on the grand as sessment roll of the state as subject (o taxation In 1008 was $4,950,796. Millions and millions appear (o be unaccounted for by the asskssors, beckuse the state banks re- port deposits amounting to over $65,000,000 at the last report, and the national banks of Douglas county alone reported deposits Lof $49,384,000 in January, 198, three months before the assessmcnt under consideration was made. Lancaster coanty national banks held $8.587000 of deposits at the same date, but little short of being twice the amount of total deposits listed for tex- ation in the whole state. Money may make money, and monéy talks; but the accrued product appears not on the assessment roll, can any very loud talking be charged to money. It sings soft and low when the as- sessor man 1a listening. Within sixty days the state banks of Nebraska reported loans to the amount of $85,718,574. On the grand assessment roll for the last year all the loans that could be found for taxalfor purposes amounted Lo but $176,884. Evidently, if we count in na- tional bapk and private loans, credits of this character o the amount of $150,000,000 OF mOre are escaping taxation, under the head of loans, at least soun- up to Money Few Folks Own Stook. Stock In corporations is held to a limited amount by Nebraskans, taking the assesament figures for authority. The total for 1%, in the wholo state,’ was but $i20,- 042, Douglas county people held the very modest amount of $12.763, Lancaster tax- payers but $1409; while Gage county in- vestors In corporations confessed to $100,- 881, (hus breaking the record by holding almost half of the total amount that got pa the ssessors’ books, Total judgments held in the state showed up at $33,58, and the money pald bullding and loan and savings associations amounted 1o but i1, Of this total Dougl county carries $2,672; Hall county §38,487 Lancasier $13.810.

Manu- | facturing tools, which ordinarily would be | considered to far the fagmers’ tols in value were placed on the roll at $617.458. Diamonds in Nebrasksa. Diamonds are popular with folk, %0 many sport them In rings, pins brooches, tiaras, dog collars and other orpaments, and the cost has been increas- ing their valud sb steadily that a sense of | astonishment is felt when it s discovered | all the dlamonds in Nebraska. are listed at | only $81,713. Unless Omaha has been beiied there are stones worth more than that in | single homes in this rich city. The women | clerks in the stores, viewed in the mass would appear to wear hot rocks worth $100,000 or the engagement rings out- standing ought to show up substantially | as great value as the total for the state, | and it is a cinch they would not be sold | for any man's $80,000. In Douglas county | some foolish people confessed to having | $16,000 worth, when they might as well have =ald $16. Lancaster, where diamonds are no novelty, confesses to owning some- thing over $13,000 worth. Going to the other | extreme, Wheeler has $2 worth of spark- lers and Garfiéld $7 worth. | Pawnbrokers and Franchises. | Think of dlamonds and you see pawn- | brokers, The public seemingly has a mis- | taken idea of their wealth. All the prop-| erty of pawnbrokers in Nebraska totals | $2918 for taxation, of which the Douglas| county “uncles” carry the heavy end, with | an assessment of $2,345 Almost in the poverty-stricken caboodle of such supposedly valuable perquisite appurtenances is bunched at $143,207 are not for sale, however, so far as \m” be learned. Dogs are about elghteen times numerous than corn shellers in this pre- mier class corn state, and their vajue is greater. There are over 106000 dogs ac- | counted for, wtih a value of $113,520. A tairly large figure, in bulk, but what man will sell his prize dog for less than %0 or $100. “I wouldn't take $100 for that dog, | eays the man; but the assesor takes the dog for about $1. | Bees Produce Liberally. | The Bee, of course, should not overlook | its own high sign, coat of arms and right | worthy exemplar.
