LINCOLN. March 14. (Special.) The City
TtnnrH of Km ti llvn inn ff OmAhn. Is not
hound to accent the returns from the
State Board of E.iuallsatlon in fixing the
value of railroad property In' Omaha. This
la what T. J. Mahoney argued In a brief I
filed In the supreme court today in an-
swer to the return made by the city conn
ell of Omaha, which body George T. Mor
ton Is trying to compel to reassemble aa
a board of equalization to hear protests
against the low asecKsment of railroad
property. The case came up on an alter
native writ upon the application of Morton.
In Its return the council held that It was
compelled to take the) flgurea returned by
the State Board of Ekitlxllxatlon.
In his argument against thla proposition
Mr, Mahoney aald:
The charter of the city of Omaha directs
the tax commissioner In assessing railroad
properties to take the returns made by the
State Board of Kqun-llSH tlon to the county
clerk. The same charter authorise the
city council, sitting as a board of equalisa
tion, to equalize the assessments of all
property within the city and It doe not
assume 10 require euon dor oi "-iunll"
tlon In performing Its duties to accept the
figures of any other board,
In support of hla contention that the
board does not have to take the returns
of the State Board of Equalization the at
torney quotes from the opinion of former
Chief Justice Sullivan In the case, wherein
It was contended that the revenue act of
1S03 was Invalid because It provided dif
ferent rules for ascertaining the value of
franchises of many corporations doing bus
iness in the state. In that opinion Judge
Sullivan SKid;
We are all agreed that under the consti
tution of thla state the franchise of a cor
poration la regarded as property and must
be assessed and taxed as other property.
That the same method on different classes
of property la not pursueu or noi itquim

State Will Take Bonds.
If Douglas county issued those bonds to

will buy the bonds at per cent and
there will be no middle man to pay.
Treasurer Mortensen was sounded on the
matter thla morning and atated that he
would buy the bonds on the basis named.
There Is no reason for Douglas county
to sell Its bonds through a middle man

falls. Clouds obscured the sun all day.
