(From s Staff CorreFp"ndrtit ) UNCOl-N. May ! . Ppeclsl --'ll is all rot pure rot. Clsmy, and you know It" That was Uk cotiment with which Gov. emor Mickey greeted the close of a turgid discourse by K. 3 Clancy on the rut .ws of railway taxation in grneral and the as sessment of tbe Vnion Pacific in par-tic ular. Clancy, wbo is now assistant tax eomnus-siorx-r of the railway, laid much stress on the claim that interstate traffic cannot be assessed by the state board. 'But you will admit that if it were not for the line through tbe state you could net carry on tbe traffic and that it is there fore a raluable link in tbe system." said Land Commissioner Eaton, suggestively. Thus all tbe way through tbe members of tbe board refused to take Clancy senousay and at the clfise of his argument allowed Mm m go away with the knowledge that it will act Independently. Taaee la Other States. He then w-nt on to state to the hoard that in twenty-three states w-st of the Mississippi rtvr the railroads pay an aver age tax of H7 a mile as eorr.psred with the average tn Nebraska frr !! of H claimed tnst under the new law ibe railways had btn increased pr cent, while other prorrty wa Increased only M per cent, and that mtirh of that was due to newly uncovered values, so that the increased awMment of thst which had been listed under the old law was only X per cent. The Burlington tax commissioner made a similar charge. Clancy K.k up tbe value of the Vnion Pacific in tbe state, producing figures to show that the 4C miles of main line trark is irortn tli.12f.BST., to which be added fcl.2Sfi.B5 for tbe ta mii- of tbe Otnaha d Republican Valley and txZ.i4 for the sixty-five miles of the Kear ney branch, making the total aluation CMi.P7R.71i Then be recurred to tbe earn ings, taking pains to inform tbe board thst it had "nothing to do w-jtb revenue arising from the transportation of inter state traffic" "Tbe gross earnings of tbe Vnion Pacific. " be said, "on Ms Nebraska mileage in HM. Including tbe local and interstate traffic. amounted to tl2.ei4.nfi.Bn. The operating expenses and tbe taxes amounted to SS.IMS. !0o.M and the act earnings, including earn ings on interstate traffic, amounted to Harps aa lateratate raiBseree. "Of the gross earnings approximately Kt, per cent is derived from interstate traffic and only IP- per cent from local traffic. The gross earnings on local traffic for tbe year TSHi is. therefore, B,0i,730.2?. or an average of CITS a mile. "Nearly U per cent of tbe gross revenue is absorbed for operating expenses and taxes. If tbe cost of handling, switching and unloading were no greater proportion ately than of througli service, where there is less loading and unloading, less switch ing and longer hauls, the net earnings of tbe Union Pacific on local traffic in lft would be E.J6 per mile." Assuming that the cost of transporting local traffic would be twioe as great as through traffic Clancy proceeded with a little mathematical Icgedermaln to prove that there was no profit tn local traffic "Tbe difference between the gross rev enue per mile." he said, "and the net revenue per mile on local traffic is CW.ii, which represents half the cost of local transportation. This sum. doubled to rep resent tbe wbtile cost, amounts to ti.lilK.7i. Iiwduct this latter sum from the gross revenue per mile t,17ii snd tbe result is t3i 7, which is the approximate amount of revenue per mile earned by the Vnion Pacific on local business in Nebraska is the year This, computed on the bams of Sta.C miles, shows tbe net revenue of tbe Vnion Pacific in 1SXH on local business to be M.J57.30." After thus proving tbe practical lack of revenue, he intimated that his estimate of tbe cost of local traffic mignt be too small and that tbe business might be done at a considerable loss.

It Is reported among state officials on the authority of a federal official close to the Vnion Pacific management that the gov ernor haa forwarded tn ultimatum to the Burlington and Vnion Pacific that the taxes must be paid or s specisj session of the legislature win be summoned to deal with the rate proWein. This letter is said to ex plain the unusual activity of the railway politicians, who have been besieging tbe governor in an effort to forestall a procla mation. Tbe governor refuses to discuss the matter in any of its phases for publi cation, but he is free in his statements to friend that tbe railways must expect to have the rule of the "square deal" spoiled to them. His friends are using the argu aient that it w ill be fair to the railways and the people to call a session for rate legisla tion should the railways persist is their re fusal to submit to what tbe board considers fair assessments, since that will enable tbe taxpayers t recoup themselves through lower rates for the Increased burdens of government.

May Is i Special The Elkbora river above and below this city is slowly rising snd some apprehension is felt by citisens living in the bottoms. Peter Nelson, a fanner living two mile south of West Point, in a bend in the river. n oliliged to move hi family and stock to higher gronnd jesterday. Between West Point and Beemer, at the point where the valley widen, the water extend for two miles on each side of the railroad track.

E. J. B. Plea Fraaa tbe .allery. OMAHA. May Jfc To the Editor of Tha Bee: Nob- that the theatrical season is at an end it may be well to state-a few line In behalf of the patron af tlie gallery. rmring the last season a certain Allen Dale" of Omaha has taken unlimited liber ties in casting numerous in suit a oa this part of tbe audience. Tley -have been branded a "low-hrow" and "row die." all of which wa unnecessary and uncalled for. Soch words as these are sufficient to stop a large part of "Vie patronage, and should, if father and mother for many w-emea occupy seats in the ""heaven"! are Classed as such. Without sny exception It may be ssfejy said that only Omaha's best class of ctti B' nfi pay to see such productions as tae Boyd ha had during the season of 14- 1SW.V 1 hope thi emerald-foliaged named young man will see fit to rectify the injustice be ha done to hundreds of Omaha theater goers and that he will not lie so "foolish" as to. again unnecessarily provoke- anger among tbe same.

The inside of Banquet Hall Cigars is the best tobacco that grows in Cuba- It comes from the Vuelta Abajos Province which supplies the kings of the world. The wrapper is a sweet silky piece of imported tobacco. Judge it by the best cigar that usually costs you 5c more. Wise dealers sell them, not because they can make so much profit out of them but because they can make so many customers out of Banquet Hall Cigars. ' Other shapesat two for 25c and 15c straight. .
