. i LINCOLN, Msy it Speclal.) Tha
amount of money to be apportioned
among the school districts of "the stats
will is 1 certified to the stats superin
tendent next Monday by Treasurer Mor
tenen, and In all probability will amount
to 1425.000, the next to the largest appor
tionment by about $l,009 ever made. The
portion that will go to Doujlae county
will be In round numbers about H4.7S0,
or which sum Omaha will ret about
OX).
The largest apportionment erer made was
In 18P7, when, just before being- made,
a largo amount of money, something ever
linn.oon, was received by the treasurer,
being due from delinquent holders of
school land leasri. During thi hard times,
from 1898 to 196, the state had been pa
' tlent with trios whs had the laud, and
when good times come on In 1897 these de
linquents paid up. The fual-.-.U's, how
ever, never sgsln or before equalled this
amount for distribution. -
Baldwla Drops a Hlat.
In the case wherein George T. Morton
of Omaha wants to compmi the city coun
cil of Omaha to reconvene as a Board
of Equalisation to hear protests agalnat
the low- assessment of railroad property
In that city, John N. Baldwin today filed
a brief as a friend of the court. In one
section of' his brief Mr. Baldwla admits
that franchises are worth something and
in the same paragraph gives a hint that
the State Board of Equalisation may pos
sibly, use to advantage In arriving at a
method of assessing railroads as a unit
or the lines that make up the system sep
arately. He says:
Right of way, roadbed, rolling stock,
sidetrack, depots, terminals and franchises
are , the component parts Which combine
to make the railroads s going concern.
These parts can be employed as parts
only In . a descriptive sense for Nvhen It
a composite sense they are physically
employed their Identity Is entirely ex'ln
gulshed In the accumulative unit. A rail
road, therefore, being composed of 'mu
tually dependent paru Is an Inseparable
unit, yielding to assessorlal dismember
ment only to the extent of an eaul table
distribution of values. The Individual parts
represen". value only when collectively or
conjointly considered The right of way
would be of pradlriUly no vslus without
the right and faci;i"e to- operate. The
rolling stock Is of value onlv whin used
for the spoclre purposs to whloh It Is
adapted. The terminals are subject to
line contingencies and deperdence.
Mr. Baldwin ctated that a railroad trust
for taxation purposes, In order that each
taxing Jurisdiction ' through whlah It
passes, reculs a 'just proportion of tha
revenue derived therefror. be oonslJere.l
an Indivisible entity. He ccr.tended that
the values of the terrrUal hav been dis
tributed and taxed along the right of way,
and that to grant the prayer of the
plaintiff wou d be to countenance double
taxation. He held' that the terminals
would ds useless . and valueless without
the outeld.r mileage or right of way, and
ilnuld the (rrmlna's be absorbed -by tax
ation In Omaha It would be unjust to the
contributing territory.
Mr. Baldwin contended In his brief that
the face of the records showing that the
railroads ownei 13 k per oen', of the taxa
ble property of 'the state was due to the
higher viaUon pi railroad property and
the low valuation' or otberV property. He
quoted from thirty-six of the ninety coun
ties of the state- showing that la thoss
counties there had been sold 409,341 acres
of land for $!7.S6.3:.60, an average of
I29.M an acre, while the assessed valuation
was an average of $3.04 an acre.. .

bition of the bishop for many years and
