(From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, May 20.—(Special.)—It is very evident that the State Board of Assessment | is going to get some valuable information from the various tax agents of the rail- roads who are here. or have been here, | making arguments for a decrease in the | | assessment of the roads. And, incidentally, If other states are on the lookout, they will be able to get some Information which | will be of value to them. T. A. Polleys of the Chicago, Milwaukee, Minneapolis & the ball by proposing to the State Board of Assessment a com posite, or “automatic,” theory for the as- sessment of all raliroad property By three methods which he used Mr. Pol leys was able to reach a valuation of his line in the neighborhood of the figures of the census bureau. He then proposed a plan evolved from the three methods. Un der this plan his road would be reduced in Nebraska from an actual value of #2500 a mile to $37.542 a mile Should Mr. Polleys use his same plan 'n his argument to the lowa State Board of the two values and dividing by two, would | make the value of the road in Towa $121,8% This calculation does not include a small | branch line In lowa, which would make | very little difference In the result, it being some sixteen miles in length and valued at $25,000 a mile What State Fignres Show. According to the reports of the state auditor, this road. which is a part of the has got off easier Northwestern system, than any of the cther roads in the matter | of having its assessment increased. In 198 the auditor's report shows the Minne- apolis & Omaha road was assessed at $5,600 a mile. It was increased in 18M, when the big raise was made in all rallway property, to 88,50, or B4 per cent. Since that time | the assessment of this road has not heen | changed, although the assessment of other property and other rallroads has been largely increased During the same time the Burlington main line has been increased 2 per cent and its branci lines 3 per cent, the Unlon Pacific main line has been ircreased U7 per cent and the Omaka & Republican Val ley branch 18 per cent and the Kearney branch 119 per cent. In the four years following the big increase the Burlington main line has been increased, according 0| the auditor's report, 10 per cent, the branch lineg 5% per cent and the Union Pacific main line !5 per cent, the Omaha & Re- publican Valley hranch 41% and the Kear- ney branch 8§ per cent. The Northwestern proper in the five years was Increased S4 per cent and in the last four years 3 per cent. Three years ago Peter Mortensen, state treasurer, made an effort to increase the valuation of the Northwestern, but he was unable to get the majority of the board to stand with him. Mulligan Argunes Warmly, J. W. Mulligan, assistant tax agent of he Rock-dsland, made a plea for his road | to the board this moming and he attacked right of the board to place a value | upon the franchise of his company. Not- withstanding the law requires the board to do this. Mr. Mulligan said there was a possibility of franchise values but not inder conditions which surround a raiiroad the stocks and bonds of which are below par and where there is a deflcit instead of a met earning, as is the case with the Rock Island. “The best evidence that the franchise of a railroad has no value except what it cost,” Mr. Mulligan sald, “and s not a legitimate subject of taxation, ls the fact that nobody has ever been able to put a value on a franchise and then give a sen- sible, logical or coherent reason for his conclusion.” The tax agent said the state practically admitted that the physical value of his lne was $26,26253 a mile, but it permitted the road to earn only $980.49 a mile, which | | | | | on the basis of the net earnings would make the value of the line only $16,341.50 a mile. The Rock Island in Nebraska earned in 107 $1521.49 net per mile and In %8 it| earned $1,228.7 net per mile, according to | the statement of the tax agent 1 Hope for Royal “Chuuffer.
