' REVENUE LAW WORK IN OTOE
Railroads Are Boosted, While the Fanner
Gets Off Easy.
HARRY CULVER TALKS ON PHILIPPINES
(jrratvst Xrvd of the Islands at
Trrarat la Railroads to Allow
Development of Their
Reaoareea.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
. LINCOLN, Oot. 28.-(Spclal.)-It has
bwn suggested by a prominent republican
here that the fusion combination go out
,(, c;oe county and deliver a fw
spasms on that "Iniquitous," "Infamous,"
"rallroaA, robbrr" revenue law. In Otoe
county the "Ininultous" combination cer
tainly has a kick on the "iniquitous"
revenuo law. On the farmer's 16) acres It
haB only Increased the state taxes about
7 per cent, while on the unprotected he'p
IeH railroads that "Iniquitous" revenue
law has Increased taxes for state pur
pones 26 per cent.
Under the old revenue law the railroads In
Otoe county only had to pay $4,189.23 In state
taxes for last year. The republican legis
lature of 1903 enacted an "Iniquitous," "In
famous," "robbrr" revenue measure, which
for this yrar has Increased the. taxes paid
by these same railroads on the same prop
erty to $5,282.08, or made these helpless
corporations pay Just $1,092.85 more than
under the old law.
. Last year the farmer who owned 160
acres of land of average value In Otoe
county had to pay taxes to the amount of
$10.76. Now under this "iniquitous" revenue
law the same farmer this year paid on the
Same property, state taxes to the amount
of $11.76 or all of 74 cents more than he
paid last year.
Another helpless class of people that
this "Iniquitous" republican revenue law
touched pretty hard was that class of
people who had money stored away and
notes and mortgages and such little things.
That "Iniquitous" revenue law was the
means whereby $362,606 mora of this class
of property was brought under tha lime
light of the assessor's office than last year,
or an increase of Just 196 per cent.
Where Baldwin Fell Down.
' "It Is no wonder that Mr. Baldwin and
Mr. Bcrge can get together on a platform
pledged to repeal this 'iniquitous revenue
law" said a prominent republican.' "That
'iniquitous' revenue law hits the railroads
and it hits the man with money. Mr. Bald
win represents the railroads and probably
Mr. Berge has many clients with consid
erable money. It is easy for the two to get
together.
' "The fact of the matter is Mr. Baldwin
would not want that 'iniquitous' revenue
law repealed had he been able to control
the State Board of Equalization that inter
preted it. Mr. Baldwin would not want
that law repenjed now were he sure he
could control the next State Board of Equal
ization. The fact of the matter is that Mr..
Baldwin had considerable to do with shap
ing that - law. lie furnished the special
committee that framed It many suggestions.
It was Buldwin that scattered the Kansas
revenue law among the members of that
committee. Under the 'iniquitous' revenue
law it would have been possible for the
railroads to have paid about as much taxei
as they did last year. But a railroad in
terpretation was not put upon that law;
"It wasn't supposed by Mr. Baldwin that
Governor Mickey and his associates would
go out of their way and dig up the value
of the stocks and bonds of his railroad and
consider these In making up the valuation.
He did not consider that, when outside
speakers came before the board with facts
and , flgureaf that these arg-uments would
outweigh those advanced by the railroads.
But they did. The members of the State
Board of Equalization, of which Governor
Mickey is the chairman, believed that law
was enacted to make every dollar's worth of
property pay Its Just Bhare of the burdens
of the state, and consequently the railroads
got the lion's share of the boost. It is
tight' that they should and it is perfectly
natural that Baldwin should now oppose
Mickey."

Harry II. Culver, special agent of the
Philippine customs service, accompanied by
Mrs. Culver, after spending three years In
the Orient, has returned to Nebraska and
Is now visiting with the family of his fa

sessions. In an Interview before he left
fur the east last night, Mr. Culver , gave
an interesting outline of Manila affairs In
general and laid particular stress upon
what seems to be the popular sentiment
prevailing In the Islands today, and that is
"the Filipinos do not want Independence,
tor the simple and plain reason," said Mr.
Culver, "they can't use It."
"It is my opinion," said Mr. Culver, "that
a generation will pass before the Filipinos
will have 'become strong enough to be able
to accept Independence. When that time
comes It is probable they will have become
enlightened enough to see the greater ad

fectlon for his new possessions. I cannot
conceive a greater calamity that could be
fall the Inhabitants of the Islands in pla
clng them at the mercy of the radical and
lawless element than to give them Indcpend
ence at this time.
The great cry In the Islands today is
give us railroads.' This Is not confined to
the business circles alone, but to the pub'
lie and the administration as well. There
are vast regions In the Islands where
wealth enough could be produced to give
the Islands prosperity, but there Is only
one method of transporting the produce of
the soil to the const, and that Is by tne
antiquated carabao carts. Large sections
of northern Luzon are covered with noble
forests, virgin of any steel, save the In
effective bolo nt the native. There are
fortunes In these forests, but the trees
die and fall without an attempt to save
them. In like fashion the hemp and sugar
Interests of ' the archipelago are stunted
for lack of transportation.
Fatally Mart In Runaway.
Peter Roman, aged GS, a cripple and an
invalid, was thrown from a buggy near his
home, west of Agnew, yesterday, and may
die as a result of Injuries received. Mr.
and Mrs. Agnew had returned from a fu
neral and on arriving at their house Mrs.
Agnew got out of the buggy and started to
assist her husband to gel out. The team
became frightened and ran away before
Mr. Agnew got out of the buggy. He was
thrown to the ground and dragged for a
considerable distance. He waa badly In
jured Internally and had one of his legs
broken.
Commercial (lob Not Moving.
Tha discussion of new quarters for the

Harpham, E. C. Strode, W. E. Hardy and
Morris Friend was appointed to formulate
plans for building one and present It to
the board of directors at their next meet

form a building company to erect the etruc
ture and turn it over to tha club on favor

Former Governor Crounse and Hon. J. J.

McCarthy, who waa the first speaker, con
fined himself principally to national la
sues. He reviewed the work which con
gress has accomplished during the past
session, especially in regard to the Philip
pines, and showed up the weak points of
the democratic positions. He spoke for an
hour and was frequently Interrupted by
applause.
Former Governor Crounse devoted the
most of his time to state Issues and the
new revenue law, explaining its great Im
provement over the old law. The governor
will speak at several other places in tha
county next week. Ths high regard in
which ha Is held In this county on account
of his well known opposition to railroad
rule is bringing him larger and more en
thusiastic audiences than any other cam

MANY CHANGES IN DIPLOMATIC SERVICE
President Will Have a Large Number
o( Important Appointments to
Settle Immediately After
Election.
(From a Staff Correspondent)
WASHINGTON. Oct. 28.-(Speclal Tele
gram.) Among the very first things which
President Roosevelt wilj take up after
election Is the question of the transfer
of Minister Conger, who has been in
China for eight vears and who desires to
get nearer home.
It Is understood that W. W. Rockhlll,
present chief of the Bureau of American
Republics has been slated for the China
mlpsion should it be decided to bring Mr.
Conger home. Powell Clayton, ambassa
dor to Mexico, Is anxious to leave the
Meld of diplomacy to some one else so that
he may engage In the mining business In
Mexico. Herbert W. Bowen, present United
States minister to Venezuela, has been
suggested as Clayton's successor.
But these arfc not by any means all
tho changes which wlU take place In our
diplomatic representation abroad. A num
ber of consuls general and consuls will be
out of Jobs and RooseveU's time after
election will be largely taken up In select
ing a successor to these on the lists, but
these are only a mere bagatelle of what
the president will have on his hands after
November 8. Among the Important mat
ters which the executive will be called
upon for action is the establishment of
a system of courts on tho Isthmus of
Panama and a code of laws, the creation
of which will devolve largely upon Judge
Charles E. Magoon of Nebraska.
