Mr. Harrington communication touons:
llnrrlliKton rrrsrnts I'roof.
In common with many other citizens of
the state I bllevc that the vnluntlon pinned
on the railroads of this slate for taxation jnnugh as i. basis upon which to do the i Wi
rurnosfs luring trwnv vears lias Ik-pii en- business of the country, the United Stntes I rp
flrJFv too low A railroad tomnnny shouhl treasury puts In evidence tho 120,0Oo.0W . ovt
be willing to bear Its fair share of the
public burdens tne same as 1mnv111u.11 ia
pavers. That the railroads have not been
paving their Just proportion of the taxes In
this state enn bo proved beyond even n
reasonable doubt
It will not be denied that the railroads of
this state are worth much more money
today than toey were ten years ngo. Their
Valuo having Increased their iirefssed vnlu
ntlon ought also to liierense unless all other
classes of property which have Increased In
value have been also reduced In value by
the nssessors. Tho tlgures ns to assessment
which I shall use are those showing the
railroad valuation mndo In 1SS9 and 1S3S.
The railroad assessments of IS&fl were made
tiy Governor Thayer. Auditor iienmn nnu
Treasurer Hill, Those, of ISPS were mnde by
Rllas A. Hnlcomb, .1. . Mescrve and J. K.
Cornell. The total rnllroud mileage In
Nebraska !n IfcSfl was r,,031.ni and the valu
ation placed thereon wns 2!.&Sl.325.0.i. The
railroad mlleago In the state In IS3S was
BX42.47 and the valuation placed thereon was
12S.KW.H3i5.Sn.
To put this matter plainly the railroad
mileage In tho state between 1SS!) nnd 1S3S
Increased M0.G1 miles, hut notwithstanding
this large Increase In mileage of tho rail
roads their assessed valuation was de
creased W.475.2S8 25, The 010 miles ot roll
road construction between ISsn una 1S0S
ought to hnvo been assessed at $'1,000,000. so
that the actual reduction In rnllrond assess
ments, w'hen we consider tho Increased
mileage In tho last ten years, has been
moro than J'J.OOO.COO. I think I am pretty
near correct In saying that the nverage
taxes for all purposes paid In the state will
run S per cent of the nssessed valuation, nnd
6 per cent of M.OOO.oivi amount to J.TOO.OiVi u
year and this amount the railroads are pay
ing today less In proportion to the num
ber of miles of road they own thm they
worn pavinc even under the administration
of Tom nenton.
I admit that the railroad valuntlnns for
1W8 nre a trifle higher than those made
by Joe Hartley nnd Kugene Moore, but tho
Increase has been nominal only. In Holt
county tho lowest valuation on the Fre
mont. KIkhorn & Missouri Valley railroad
was $.1,600 n mile, and the hlEhest valuation
5 laced by the fusion administration Is
J.fOO a mile. The valuation of these same
rallronris In t''ie days of Tom Penton was
$0P0 per mllo nixl nenton inl his asso
ciates wrro notoriously In the hnnds-of the.
railroads. Indeed. It wns tho conduct of
such men In their treatment of such or
ganizations thnt led to the reform move
ment and hence It It no wonder that sin
cere men In the reform ranks nre disap
pointed to see a reform board value the
railroads less than Benton, Hill and Thnycr.
Thp Uurllngton railroad was assessed In
l!vS9 nt M1.S00 a mile nnd It was assessed In
J89S at $I0",M) per mile, ats net earnings per
mile In 1KSS were J1.6M nnd Its net earnings
In 1S97 were $7,105 per in He. but Its assessed
valuation decreased 11.220 per mile.
Trick of Itnllrontls.
In addition It Is well to remember thnt
tt Is the enslest thing In the world for
railroads to show their net earnings to be
but little. Nenrly nil the Nebraska roads
nro branches of koiiip extensive system.
Take for Instnnec the Kremont. KIkhorn
A: Missouri Valley. It Is a part or tho
Northwestern system. Whenever they
wnnt to keep down the net earnings In Ne
braska all they have to do Is to change
the percentaci that shall be paid to the
Kremont. KIkhorn AV Missouri Vallev nnd
to the main lino of the Chicago .t North
western on shipment!' to Chicago and other
enstern points. Hupnose n tralnload nf
cattle Is being shipped from O'Neill to Chi
cago. Tim cattle wl'l go from O'Neill to
Missouri Valley on the Fremont, !3!khorn
& Missouri Valley mid from there to Chi
cago on tho Chicago) & Northwestern.
Tho charge made from O'Neill to Chicago
over the two roadH Is made In ono bulk
sum. Hy dccreaHng tho per cent of this
total sum which the Fremont, KIkhorn &
Missouri Vnlley shall receive and by In
creasing the per cent which tho Chicago
At Northwestern shall receive, tho net
earnings of the Fremont, KIkhorn X- Mis
sourl Valley enn be entirely wiped out,
And this Is done without decreasing a sin
gle penny of the amount paid for shipping
the cnttlo from O'Neill to Chicago, It Is
simply a matter of bookkeeping. The
nmoiint that goon to the Fremont. KIkhorn
& Missouri Valley U decreased and tho
nmount thnt cocs to tho Chicago & North
western Is Increased, and In tho end the
entire prollts on tho shipments go to thu
t same stockholders who own both road.
Hut every man who Is familiar with the
state knows that during the last ten vears
Its population has Increased largely and
tho freight nnd travel has Increased nnd
the railroads of the state nre doing more
business than over berore. It niny be said
that th total valuation of all kinds of
taxable proporty in tho state has de
creased. To some extent this Is true. Hut
tho llrst point that I wish to make clear
Is thnt the vnluntlon of the railroads In
the state has been decreased at least SO
per ceni nun ni mo same time
or tno rntiroaos nas increased
n
year, nnd the JU3.000.Oft0 In gold now held
within Its vaults and the unexampled pros
perity and measureless nnd limitless nnd
rnuntlef.s financial transactions thus sus
tained without seeming effort.
To tlie army and navy, which so slgnnlly
and suddenly humbled our enemy nnd hon
ored themselves, and doubly honored our
country nnd the cause of humnnlty for
which they battled, wo iieknowleden our
debt of gratitude. The republican party has
always been ready to protect Its protectors
and to defend Its defenders.
While we nro unalterably opposed to
Imperialism nnd militarism as practiced
bv Kurnpcan nations, we nre willing to
nci'ept nil tho legitimate results of honor
nblo wnrfnre and wo assume tho
burdens of governing nnd holding acquired
territory. Wo aro In favor ot
Increasing our navy to such strength nnd
power ns will make us secure from foreign
aggression and the maintaining or such nn
army ns may be necessary to quell insur
rection, establish peace and maintain good
order In our Islands In the seas and protect
tho flng from Insult at homo and abroad,
Hut we are opposed to n largo stnnd
Ing army In tlmo of peace, relying on tho
national nrdor of the people to meet any
emergency with the volunteer soldiery such
ns has for moro than 100 years challenged
tho admiration of the world.
For thn nation's defense, for the strength
ening of tho navy, for the enlargement of
stitiitlnn of the stHto to meet the demands
of her growth as she enters tho beginning
of the twentieth century.
We cheerfully pleOge ourselves to the en
couragement and protection of home com
panies, home associations and home so
cieties engaged In providing Indemnity for
loss of property, life and limb, so that as
far as reasonably may be tho money col
lected from the people shall remain with
our people nnd be Invested nnd expended
for the use of our people.
We Invito and will heartily welcome tho
return to republican ranks of former mem-
oers or tno party, nnu all patriotic
citizens who may have, been estranged by
ruisn allurements nnd insincere and un-
Kept pledges, for tne time has como when
they can nlnlnly see and knowingly under-
stnnd that they nre but the menial servants
In tho household of the democrntlo party.
On this platform we, the republicans of
Nebraska, not dismayed by past defeat,
but thrlce-armed by tho Justice of our
cause, will wage our political warfaro
against all challengers, whether coming
against us under the slijglo banner of demo
crats or nonullslH or nrroved under thn
double standard of fusionlstfl. and never
(mil tho battle until victory shall be our
reward.
To the other states Nebraska sends her

hood of commonwealths, linked together In
a common and immortal destiny.

Tax Agent Pollard of tho Burlington fur
nishes tho Hoard of Equalization tho follow
ing Information:
Informntlon from I'ollnrtl.
Tho Increase In tho total vnluatlon of tho
state during the year 1M9 amounts to
Jl,3.i.r.,140.PO, or eight-tenths of 1 per cent.
Tills Increase was caui-cd, not by a larger
PCKcutnge of valuation, but from the fact
that there waa more land In the stnte. For
Instance. thrc wns assessed in 1S.1S 31.139.31S
acres of Imnroved nnd unimproved land and
In 1S59 31.aw.G21 acres. This land was" ns
sessed in lWt'nt $7S,51S,S3S and' In 1S99 at 177.
S9l017. So that although 21S.C73 acre moro
were assessed In ISM than In 1S9S the vnlua
tlon wns J523.S21 less In 1S99 than In 1S9S,
In 1S9S 1.5S1,B33 head of cattle were as
sessed at J7.b59,,.'02. or an nverage of $1.83 per
head. In U99 l,k9S,7S2 head were assesseU
at JS.97.1.510, or an overage of $1,72 per head,
so that the.ro was an Increase In H99 ns
i omnurod with 159? of 317.H9 head, yet tho
value decreased 13 cents per head In 1S99.
In 1S9S 1.913.915 hogs were nssessed nt
tt.SfiS.IIS, or an average of 95 cents per head.
In 1S93 1.929 17S head-were assessed at $1,737.
rsi, or au average of 90 cents per head, It
Is very unlikely that the number of hogs In
tho stntn decreased 11.767 111 1S99 ns com
pared with 1S93. However, the assessed
valuation dropped off 6 cents per head In
ism.
Slieep wero assessed at 66 cents per head
In ls and only 62 ccntn per nenci in iswi.
To persons who nre so well acquainted
with the value of live stock as the members
of your honorable board It Is not necessary
for me to say anything further to show how
absolutely ridiculous thp assessed valuation
of this class of property Is in this stnte.
When nt Rulo on April 11 I was In tho
olllco of the assessor of Uulo precinct. Rich
ardson county, and overheard a conversa
tion between u farmer nnd the nssessor.
The nssesor asked the farmer 'how many
bushels of corn he had and he answered
1,500. Taking tho mnn's word for It ho
ssys: "I will throw off 300 bushels for feed
and assess you with 1,200 bushels nt G cents
per luiHhel," I asked the assessor how
much corn was worth that day at Ilulo and
he answered something over .10 cents.
"If you will refer lo the bankers' direc
tory of tho United Stntes for July, 1S93. be
ing Just aftpr the nssested valuation of
property In Nebraska for last year was
completed, you will llnd that thero wns on
deposit In the banks of this state nt thnt
tlmo $ti2.0l I,2j0; the moneys nnd credits of
the state, other Winn of banks, were as
sessed at $1,310,031, so that If all tho money
nnd credits In tho stnte were deposited In
tlie banks It was only ussfssed nt .02 1-10 per
cent, but It must he remembered thnt vast
sums are loaned on real and personal prop
erty. Mr. Pollard next quotes from a letter writ
ten by Hullding Inspector Rutlcr of Omaha,
In which was shown by years tho number
of building permits nnd coat of improve
ments In tho city of Omaha from tho year
1893 to 1S99, Inclusive, making a total or
$6,051,012. It is pointed out that (ho as
sessed valuation of Omaha In 1S93 was $23,-
will require about a week to finish up. Tho
work would have been completed earlier
but tho recent rains havo mado tho yards

Oovernor Poyntor has again sent requisition
papers to tho governor of tho stnto of Wash
ington for tho return of Rowland P. Hllln,
who Is wanted at Blair to answer to the
chargo of bigamy. Tho first papers sent

Cool; Hills, who claims to be 'the man's

marriage her name was Eliza Cook Adsetts.
Sho was born in Derbyahlro county, Eng
land, and slnco tho age. of IS nnd until her
marriage was engaged in teaching and edu
cational work. Hills, she oayo, was curate
at Holsovcr, England. Tho marriage cere
mony Is alleged to havo been solemnized In
tho parish of Shoffiold. The woman further
asserts that Hills expressed n desire to havo
tho marrlago kept a secret because It would
bo distasteful to his mother.
Tho affidavit treats In dotal! of the affairs
of tho couplo and tells tho story of tho dis
covery of the alleged second vvr, iagc. The
first Mrs. Hills kept her marrlago a stcret
and was visited at frequent Intervals by her
husband and between visits carried on an
extended correspondence with him. In
