No ehsnge over last year was employed
in the method used in assessing the banks.
The value of the real estate holdings was
subtracted from- the capital stock, which
was estimated at figures arrived at by con
sideration of the undivided profits, surplus
and recent sales of stock. '
The determination of Tax Commissioner
Fleming to assess mortgages la causing
considerable confusion, owing to the in
competency of the county records snd the
fact that these do not chow part pa ym rata,
eta. The office is besolg-ed by scores of
mortgagees protesting against the move on
various grounds.
' ' Beard Will Back Flesslag.
The members of the Board of Review say
they will confirm whatever the tax com
mission does in this line, aa they have no
alternative under the law.
No complaints have been registered by
the public service corporations against the
proposed assessments ot tha tax commis
sioner, and it is supposed they win be al
lowed te stand.
J. E. Kelby, assistant general solicitor
for the B. A M. railroad, appeared in the
afternoon to represent the American Beet
Bugar company and the Standard Beet
Sugar company, both having offices In
Omaha, but this city not being the prin
cipal place of buslnessvunder toe articles
of Incorporation. The board proposed to
assess each company at UOO.OOO. but was
content to place a valuation of ftf.000 on
the property taxable In Omaha. This con
sists of- Immense quantities of sugar which
are stored, here, en route east. Sometimes
there are many cars of the product In
Omaha and at other times very little, ac
cording to the statements from the cor
porations, v ' -
Last year they were assessed at flO.000
each, but appeared before the Board of
Review and bad the rasessraents wiped
cut altogether. Yesterday afternoon their
representatives agreed to pay taxes on
f 15. 000 and tha tuard let It go at that.
The lumber yard of George A. Hoagland
was assessed at $70,000. as against 3.000
given on the voluntary return. This Is
a big advance over last year. Allen Bros.'
assessment was fixed at 16t,000, 119.000
less than last year, against the protest of
Tax Commissioner Fleming.
Many Individuals and corporations), not!
fled to appear and show cause why. their
assessments should not be advanced, failed
to visit the city halL some of them tele
phoning in that they were satisfied with
the raises projected.
Last night the board worked -'. behind
closed floors te midnight, finishing' Its re
view of the schedules. Today Isrlef meet
ing will be held to formally wind up the
sessions.
Tax Commissioner Fleming; has an
nounced that it probably will be a month
before be 'will have the ansessment rolls
ready to submit to the Board of Equalisa
tion. At present the Hats are In anything
hut a systematic shape, owing to delays
imposed by litigation Involving; the new
revenue lawi
It is probable, therefore, thaf the Board
of Equalisation will not meet before Janu

"Tha new national association Is going to
equalise things and will help to do away
with the annual spring; disturbances."
So remarked President John H. Harts of
the Omaha Builders exchange, who has
Just returned with Charles J.' Johnson from
Chicago, where they had been aa .delegates
from the local organisation to the gather
ing ot contractors from all over the country
to farm a naAAeaaJ association;
"Im tha preamble of our constitution,'
continued Mr. Harte, "we declared in fa
vor of the "open shop.' ' There Is nothing
which prevents a contractor from employ
ing only union men, but we have frone on
record that the 'open shop' is the best
thing' for the country- There was a fight
over tha endorsing of tha 'open shop' propo
sition, which detained us another -day. It
was mads by two representatives from
New Tors. ......
"Another thing which the association
stands up for la the nonrestricUon of ap
prentices. If one of us wishes our son te
tears the business we wish to ba able to
apprentice him. The restriction la un-
American.
"I see no reason why the Omaha associa
tion should not Join the nationaL We
will not make our report, until tha. next
monthly meeting. I was selected as one
of tha executive board and accepted, of
course, conditionally on our association
Joining. The board wfll meet In about one
month to consider starting lbs work ot the
association. Wa have thoroughly organ

The Burlington has announced propor
tional rates on grain t meet the rates pnt
in effect , some time' ago competing
lines. A tariff has been issued which
quotes a rate of cents cn 'wheat and I
eenta on corn to the MisalHslppl river and
Minneapolis and 14 cents on wheat and IS
eenta on corn to Chicago.
Bo far this makes three lilies which have
quoted theee proportionals on grain origi
nating anywhere west ' of the Missouri
river, tha Burlington, Milwaukee and Rock
Island. The Great Western also has tha
earns rates In effect, but tha territory from
which ths grain may . originate to secure
the rates is restricted by the latter Una.

Chairman .MacLeod of tha Western Pas
senger association accuses ths Toledo. 8L
Louie A Western railroad ths Clover Leaf
Route with having defrauded a number ot
western roads out of large sums of money
by being in collusion with .soatpers. It is
said the scalpers are located at St. Louia,
Kansas City, Omaha, Council Bluffs, Sioux
City and Minneapolis. - . -
Tha scheme, according' to Chairman Mac
Leod, wax to sell Oiruuxa tickets to the
coast, which were scaiped enroute. It la
aaid that out ot twelve tickets which were
sold to California pouls ver ths Southern
Pacific that only air get aa tar as Ogdea
In tha hands of the original purchasers. .
Almost two years ago the- Union Pacific
issued instructions te its conductors to be
on tha lookout ,for Toledo, Bt. Louia
Westsrn tickets, and to put the holders of
such tickets through ft course of question
ing before accepting the coupons for pass
age, iners were a jarge number of these
tickets taken up by conductors on the
Union Pacific, and ' that road bora down
aa hard aa business Sri gloating on tha sus
pected line that tickets. Issued, by. the
Toledo, SL Louia Western via the Union
Pacific to the coast, became almost ' un
known. It seems, however, from ths disclosures
mads 'by Chairman MacLeod that some cf
the other lines In the west have not bean
so careful In their acceptance ' of these
tickets and as a consequence nave suffered
severely, much to the advantage of ticket
scalper. ' . i '- 1
It is believed that tha disclosures will re
