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.
The branch lines, lie asserted, were oper
ated at a loss of tL.fc.Wt during 1M4.

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.

The last 10 cent Cigar that you smoked will
taste flat and bitter after you have
bought your first Banquet Hall.
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.
