DECISION BLOW TO THE STATE TAX VALUATION SUPREME COURT DECISION AL LOWS RAILROAD ASSESS MENT ON PART VALUE OTHER ROADS TO HAVE A CUT State Will Lose $1,000,000 in Taxes if Federal Court Sustains State Court's Decision. From Wednesday's Daily State Tax Commissioner Smith, af ter some brief figuring Tuesday, said that if the Burlington, Northwestern and Omaha railroads, which are light ing valuations in the federal courts, are treated there as the state su preme court has just held in the case of the Rock Island, it will mean a re duction in the assessed valuation of the four railroads for 1923 of about Home Chapter No. 189 Has Very eighty million dollars.

Discussing tne decision Mr. Smith said: "The state board of equalization j and assessment in 1923 found a val- uation of $10,094,409 for the Rock Island railroad for assessment poses in Nebraska.

"The counties thru which the Rock Island passt and that will be affected by the decision are Cass. Douglas, Gage. Jefferson. Lancaster, Nuckolls, Pawnee and Thayer. "The valuation of farm lands and ivnnrovements seems to have been the class of property most consid ered. The board valued the property of the Rock Island at about its ac tual value, but that tlie owners of the railroad were discriminated in that they were taxed at full value while other property was not. The assess ment of farm land and improvements was made in 1922 and a reassessment will take place in 1924. The 1923 valuation was the same as 1922 plus the valuation of new improvements, etc. Th state board believed the 1923 assessed valuation of lands, placed that class of property on about an equal footing with railroad property, and accordingly declined to reduce the valuation of railroad property for assessment purposes. "The state board before following the directions of the court will ask for a hearing and will exhaust every effort to have the decision reversed. "Altho the Burlington. Northwest- cm and Minneapolis & Omaha rail- roads are contesting their assess-' manhood in Cass county where he ment. they are not affected by this was united in marriage to a daugh decision since their actions were ; ter ot Mr. and Mrs. William A.
