8. L. Hlghleyman of the Missouri Pacine
railroad before the State Board of Equalisa
tion thla afternoon spoke against the as
sessment of ral'.rond lines as a unit and
advocated the taxation of franchises. But
In his argument on the franchise question
he attempted to show that other businesses
that made money also should pay a fran
chise tax. and offered so msny examples
In attempting to show the Inequality of the
franchise law, that It Is a question If the
board Is not more at sea now than It has
pretended to be all along over the assess
ment of a franchise.
Charles Hayden, tax eommisslnoer of the
Oreat Northern, made a brief address In
which he merely went over the returns
filed by his road.
The board changed the date of the hear
Ing ta be granted the railroad representa
tlves from May 11 to May , and requested
that all railroads and others take notice.
Mr. Hlghleyman said to arrive at the
value of a franchise he would take Into
consideration the rolling stock, the depots,
tracks snd side tracks,-but he would pay
little attention to bridges, for the more
bridges there were the greater would be
the cost of maintenance and operation; the
locality, the amount of business, gross
earnings snd the net earnings. This latter
he thought would be the greatest factor In
arriving; at the franchise value, but that
this would be misleading for the reason
that net earnings were not arrived at In
the same manner by all the roads. He
would take all this Into consideration, to
nd the total value of the tangible and
Intangible property and from this amount
he would deduct the tangible property and
the difference would be the Intangible
property or the franchise. He was against
taking the value of the stocks and bonds
to arrive at the value of the franchise.
Didn't Know How it Waa Done.
Mr. Hlghleyman said down In Missouri
the atate board assessed the franchise of
his main line from St. Louis to Kansas
City as "other property" at $4,040 a mile,
but Just how It arrived at the value of
the franchise neither he nor the members
of . the board knew.
During the course of his remarks Mr.
Hlghleyman was questioned by Secretary
Bennett regarding the real estate owned
by the road at Nebraska City that was
not on the right-of-way and not used for
railroad purposes. Mr. Hlgleyman was Ig
norant of affairs out there and promised
to look It up and the board straightway
Instructed the secretary to notify the de
puty assessors there to assess all land that
had been leased by ths road to other par
ties and that was not used by the road for
railroad purposes as other property is ea
se seed.

WASHINGTON, May 3. The weather bu
reau's weekly summary of crop conditions
Is as follows: The northern Rocky moun
tain districts and the states of the upper
Missouri vnlley have experienced a week of
favorable temperatures, but throughout the
southern states, Ohio valley and the greater
part of the middle Atlantic states and New
England It has been too cool for germina
tion and growth.
Wlthi the exception of Kansas, southern
Missouri and Arkansas corn planting has
progresstd slowly, but preparations for this
week throughout the corn belt have been
extensive, and with good weather the com
Ing week planting will bo vigorously pushed
In Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois and Indiana.
In Nebraska, Kansas nnd Missouri winter
wheat has advanced favorably, except
where damaged by floods In the last named
state. In Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennee
see, the Virginias, Marylnnd and North
Carolina an Improvement Is Indicated, but
In Indiana and Pennsylvania much will be
plowed up and the outlook In Michigan I
poor. Wfteat Is now heading in southern
Kansas. The crop has advanced favorably
on the Pacific coast, the outlook being ex-
ceptlor.ally line in Washington.
With practically no rain In the spring
wheat region, seeding has been vigorously
pushed, exoept in the Red river valley,
where the ground yet requires a week of
dry weather, Seeding Is nearly finished In
