T0 HOLD OTHER TAXES DOWN (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, May 23.—(Special.)—No material increase will be made in the assessed valuation of railroad prop erty in Nebraska this year, while the valuations of other property will be held down as muach as possible. Final action in the matter will be taken at meeting of the State Equalization to be held Wednesday morning A meeting of the equalization board held this morning brought out that none of the members of board thought htere should be a material in a Board of crease in the valuation of the rail roads Tax Commissioners A. W, Scrib ner of the Union Pacific and R, D Pollard of the Burlington appeared hefore the board in opposition to an increase Farm Values Higher. State Auditor Smith has collected figures from twenty-one counties howing an increase in valuations and taxes on farm lands from 1910 to 1915, These showed in some instances the taxes have been more than doubled. Railroad companies have likewise heen increased although not in the same ratio. The board took the position that the value of land and agricultural products has increased more rapidly 1 the last two years than the value of railroad property and that an in crease in railroad assessments would not necessarily follow the raising of land valuations this year, However, the board members said they would like to preserve a parity between the different kinds of property as near as possible. How to Avoid Difficulty. In lieu of raising the railroads two other ideas were suggested, It was uggested the board in equalizing real estate assessments could lower the valuations in counties which ap pear to be much higher than the aver age and thus bring the total down omewhere near what it was-in 1915 I'he other provided for a reduction of the state levy again Object to Cutting Levy.
