Evkhy freight handler in Chi
cago went out on a strike yester
day morning', completely ticing
up freight traffic in that city and
affecting it in many centers for
which Chicago is the distributing
point. About 8,000 men arc in
volved in the strike.
Indications point to a warm
fight at the congressional con
ventions at Kearney tomorrow.
The populists, who arc pretty
sore over the result of the fusion
stale convention, arc determined
to name the congressman, while
the democrats insist that they be
allowed thctcandidatc lrom their
ranks.
Ki:i'Uiir.iCAN3 in the west part
of the state arc very enthusiastic
and will go into the campaign
this fall with a determination to
elect every candidate on the
ticket. If the republicans of the
cast part go into the fight with
as much enthusiasm as will those
of the west part, the slate ticket
will receive a majority of 25,000.
Tim congress which just
closed made appropriations ag
gregating $S00,000,000 or SfiV
000,000 more than the previous
congress. This increase, how
ever, is largely due to Isthmian
caual appropriation of fifty mil
lions and an increase of thirteen
millions in postofiicc appropria
tions, The army appropriation
was decreased twenty-rfour mil
lions.
ThAt the principles of .union
ism is dear to members of a
union is evidenced by a strike at
the Brill Car Works at Phila
delphia, where 1,500 employes
struck because their union has
not been recognized in a demand
that twenty-three union men
who were discharged be rein
stated. It is said that none of
the employes who arc out on a
strike receive less than twenty
one dollars a week, and that 400
of them receive wages that ag
gregate three thousand dollars a
year. Notwithstanding these
high wages, they jeopardized
their positions in order to main
tain the principles of their union.

In speaking of the new irriga
tion law, Senator Dietrich, while
in Omaha ycslcrday.isaid: "The
effect of this irrigation legislation
is already being seen in the
greatly increased number of peo
ple who arc looking to the west
for homes instead of going to
Cadada, as the tendency was a
year ago. It is too early to say
just when and where the first
reservoirs and canals will be
built, but there is no reason why
something tangible in this line
should not be done within the
next twelve months, since there
is, or will be, plenty of money
available for the purpose. The
revenue for the enterprise will
be derived from the sale of pub
lic lands and between $5,000,000
and $6,000,000 already awaits
disbursement.

Personal
Railroad Property Cannot be Hidden or Over
looked Always on Assessor's Books
at Full Valuation.
In the first article wc published, wc called attention
to the fact that all railroad property, their earnings and
their operations were reported periodically In such a
Rliape that any information regarding- their values or
operation was easily attained by an Invcstagator, and
that this feature worked a great Injustice to .them hi
matters of taxation, from the fact that a private corpor
ation, or a person, can refrain from returning his proper
ty for taxes, and that under the Constitution and laws
of the state of Nebraska there was no way of making
hint divulge.
We give below a table of some remarkable figures
In regard to this feature of the question, and will con
tinue to give some comparison between the amounts re
turned for taxation in 1900 and the amounts returned to
the cencus enumerator in the same year. In the matter
of Itvc stock, the census returns -of .which are at hand
giving details, the following table may be Interesting:
RETURNS FOR NEBRASKA.
Assessors la Census
1000 1C00
Horses 636,993 863,939
Cattle.... 2,160,400 3,220,242
Mules 41,930 8,994
Sheep 371,275 517,229
Hogs 1,752,163 4,221,094
When it Is considered that the value of live stock for
1900 wan reported at S6.79 for horses, $46 for cattle,
S7.4I for mules, $0.74 for sheep, and $f).99 for hogs, and
hen take into consideration the fact that tills great num
ber as shown above was omitted entirely from assess
ment, it makes a startling showing.

Were the animals assessed that had been omitted
from the assessment rolls in 1900, It would have increas
ed the assessment value of live stock by 43, 116,301. 13,
even when extended at the remarkably low valuations
given above.
As it tvtts, over jf per Cent, of nil the live stock values
of the State were omitted entirely in that year.
Other interests make no better showing. The fol
lowing interests iit the state returned for taxation in 1900
the amounts given below.
Money of bankers and brokers .$'177,630
Credits of bankers and brokers 257,09J
Moneys of others than brokers, etc 693,112
Credits other than brokers, etc 537,9911
Shares of capital stock of companies 95,676
Manufacturers' tools, implements and machines.. 208,367
It is confusing to sec the amount of money, credits,
stocks, bonds, etc., returned in the Bank Register and
other sources of Information regarding banks and brokers
nnd try to connect them with the amount of wealth re
turned for taxation, and when it is found Unit the manu
facturers report $71,982,127 as being invested in their
business, with $23,201,553 wortli of machinery, tools and
implements, it makes the sums returned for taxution
look ridiculous.
It is evident that not one-third of the pcrsoncl prop
erty in the state is returned at all for taxation, mid that
fully onc-iiuartcr of the tangible visible property that
assessors could see anil estimate in their returns i omitt
ed through carelessness.
If all the property of the. state was included in their
tax returns, Nebraska would show more than 5161 per
capita for taxation which is the lowest of any of the
western or northern states.
