General Solicitor Man dorson said : "The members of the stat board of South Dakota have also threatcnci o reduce the freight rates , which are al ready known to be reasonably low. A reduc tlon twin the present schedule as to passen ger and freight rates there would prov ruinous to railroad property In South Dakoti jeneially.

The Wisconsin and Minnesota lelegates will use the Milwaukee In largo lumber.1. W. C. Stlth. general freight agent of the Missouri Pacific and the Iron Mountain & Southern railways , was In the city yesterday Io spent , some time at South Omaha , un4 exp'cssed himself as greatly pleabed with ho prospect of the early establishment of a new packing house there. Ho said : "It's a good thing not only for the railroads but 'or Omaha. " Local passenger men ridicule the- publica tion of an editorial In a .local paper do- jouncing the railroads for giving lower rates o the St. Joseph race meet than to the 3maha speed meet. As the excursion rate to .his city was one fare , while that to St. Joseph was a fare and a third , some of the laEsenger men state that there Is a mistake eomewhe-ro. SACRETT SECURES POINTERS Bate of Taxation Mnch Higher in the East Than in Omaha , STUDIES TAX SYSTEM OF PHILADELPHIA Tux CoiiiinlNKloiior ( Sntlirm Sonic Iilrnn tliul He I'miuiKi-H lo Introduce llltO ( III * A CXMIIICIlt O { | | Oiiinhii City Tax Cbmmlfsloncr Sackett has Junt rpturncd from a trip to Philadelphia , where ho spent almmt a week In studying the tax st3tcm In M > VIO there. He was much taken with the way In which the Quakcrltcn run their tax department and Is loaded down with Ideas for the running of Omaha's new tax department , Kor the purpose of hav ing some of those Ideas adopted , he will In the near future have t. conference with the council and the city attorney. "Tho Philadelphia tax department. " Mr. Sackett says , "Is In the hands of a board ol supervision , composed of three members ap. pointed by the Judge's of the courts. All tax matters comp under their supervision , the city council having nothing to do wttli complaints or the assessments. The board selc-cts Its own deputies. Altogether some eeveuty.tntco men are employed In the de partment and the cxpccso of running It Is In the neighborhood of $138.000 n year , There arc two assessors to each district , one republican and one democrat , and they work all the year around. Their duty Is seeing that every change of valuation of property Is duly recorded. "In the office of the department are plats of the blocks In the city. Upon these the find Ings of the assessors are recorded. The ejs- tcm has Ken brought to such a fine poln' that a complaint on an nraeyincnt can be In vestigated In p few moments. The plats even contain the nature and the material of every building1 on the lots. With the pys- tern In vogue In this city It requires weeks sometimes to examine Into a complaint. " ASSESSMENT IS HIGH , Tax Commissioner Sackett found that the rate of assessment was higher than In thlrt city , real estate being assessed from 4 to 10 per cent more. The discrepancy lu personal property Is even greater. The only taxable property , of this character consists of horr.cH cattle , carriages for hire and money Joined at Interest. As an example. Mr. Sackott states that Wanamaker pays upon 1.000 horses valued at $100 each JG.S20 a year , while In this city the tax upon the property would be but $1,728. Other revenue como" In from busltiets houses and mamifactiirhir : concerns , which arc taxed In pioportl n to the amount of business transacted. Prom his Investigation of the tax depart ment of St. Louis and Philadelphia , which arr much alike and were started In 18C3 , Tax Commissioner Sackett will Insist upon the plat sy.stem In his department. Each blocker or every four blocks , preferably the former , will be mapped out on one plat. Lots will bo described as being so many feet from the corners. The tax commissioner will try to secure a largo number of gsacssora this year for the purpose of noting down upon the plats , as far as possible , the character of the structure located on each lot. As nearly ai possible the exact present value of propert > will be noted , and In the future It will be changed to conform to the prices paid In sales and , to the Improvements made. WOULD CHANGE SYSTEM. Tax Commissioner Sackett would al ° o like to sec all the blocks In the city numbered consecutively. This Is the plan adopted In the larger cities. Here In Omaha the lots are known under their location in divisions anu subdivisions. It Is estimated that It would take- ono man fully a month to place In the tax list the r.amea of these divisions alone. "The tax commissioner ? , " Mr. Sackett Eaye , "look upon the tax list as a burden some piece of machinery. By Its use It takes three or four extra clerks to ti'anract the business In tfio treasurer's office when the tax paying BP.ISOII comes on. It Is not be lleved , however , that the sjstem can be abolished under the state law If it were done away with , the city would probably be unable to legally eell property for taxes. " The tax commissioner , however , has a scheme by which the tax list will be placed onlj In the comptroller office. Instead of havlnc a duplicate for the treasurer , the clerks o' the comptroller will make bills for the taxe' and hand them over to the treasurer. All the latter will have to do then will be to take the money and sign the bill. There are many details which Tax Com mlssloner Sackett would like to have In hi ? department. Jle believes that much worK and expense could be abolished by adopting them. Drowsiness Is dispelled by neecham's Pills TIII3 UXIOX PACIFIC. TIM- Only Killing Car Itoute. OMAHA TO PACIK1C COAST.
