g- THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY, Nebraska DISTRIBUTES RAISE ALL OVER THE LINE State Board of Equalization Makes Change in Valuation of Railroads. BECKMANN EXPLAINS HIS VOTE (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, June 1.—(Special.)—The State Board of Equalization and as- sessment jigged back on their action last Monday in agreeing to raise the assessment on the railroads only to cover main lines, and this morning in a short session agreed on a raise of $1,016,591 which will be distributed over all lines, This is a raise of about 3% per cent This is practically a victory for Land Commissioner Fred Beckmann and State Treasurer Hall who con- tended at the time that while they were in favor of a raise they thought that it was unfair to assess the main lines only but that the raise should be equally made on all lines so that all counties would benefit, and more equal distributation of taxation made A showing was made by Treasurer Hall this morning that by the original motion of the board carried Monday, thirty-three counties would not share in the benefits of the raise and so the change was made Beckmann Explains Vote, Land Commissioner Beckmann de- sired to explain his vote which was done as follows: “I would like to explain my vote. While I am in favor that the asess- ment of the various railroads in Ne- braska should be raised according to the improvements they have made since the last assessment, 1 believe the board should ascertain what amount of improvements each rail road has made and the raise in as- sessment should be made according- I¥ and said assessment should be levied as so much per mile on each road. But as the board is opposed to said way of assessing, and whereas it seems that all the board is in favor of raising the assessment according to the number of miles of main line each road has. Therefore, I vote yes.” Extent of Change. This makes the increase in the dif- ferent roads as follows: In Tol In M Mileage. Val Union Pactice 1,214 Burlington 2,480 Northwester v 33 1,066 , Bt.

ROCK ISLAND PAYS JUDGMENT (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, June 1.—(Special.) order prepared by Chairman In an Henry I'. Clarke of the State Railway com mission, which is the first order of the commission establishing joint class rates and determining a basis for the making of such rates, the commis sion holds that “the continuous mile age scale determined in its rate order No. 19, plus the so-called arbitraries of 5, 4,3 3, determined in the so called Prouty scale, to which should be added the actual transfer costs, not exceeding 5 cents per hundred, when outside agencies are employed, will produce a just and reasonable scale “That the of transfer should be paid by the shipper wher outside agencies are emploved, cost the clearly indicated by section 6141 vised Statutes. The use of the mile age scale of rate order No. 19, in volving two terminal costs to the car riers, whereas the traffic here in ques tion will involve at least four minals, is not compensated by the ad dition of the above arbitraries, where outside agencies are employed “However, when the same depot is used by the carrying lines, or where transfer of shipments is made in transfer no transfer charge should be essed. Likewise, on car= load traffic at points where lines have direct track conections, no switching charge should be assessed. The pres ent minimum charge for a one-line haul in this state is 25 cents, We find that 40 cents exclusive of any trans fer charge is a just and reasonable minimum for a two-line haul.” The findings are made on complaint of W. H. Abts, a jobber of Colum bus, against the Union Pacific Rail road company Pays Big Judgment. The Chicago, Rock Island & ter cific railroad today paid into the dis trict court of Lancaster county, Ne braska, a check for $20,819.25, the amount of judgment, with interest and costs, obtained against it for the death of Otto O, Wright in this city December 9, 1909. The district court returned a verdict for $25000 later, cutting it down to $15,000, which the state supreme court and the United States supreme court affirmed Wright was an engineer killed in a wreck Call to State Banks.
