LINCOLN, May Ji The State Board of
Assessment Is devoting considerable atten
tion to adjusting values between the various
railroads doing business In the state, and
while nothing has been given out or nothing
done by which It la possible to figure on
what the total value of the railroads will
be, some very marked changes are liable
to be made In the assessment of the vari
ous systems, even though the total assess
ment Is not materially lncreaaed or do
creased. The fact that the board Is figur
ing on the earnings in Nebraska and the
mileage in Nebraska, compared to the
earnings and mileage of the entire systems,
tends to show that a new plan Is to be
adopted to get at the final results. The
board Is now figuring on three or four dif
ferent methods, Including the stocks and
bonds and the capitalisation of the net
earnings, together with one or two other
plans not heretofore employed In Ne
braska. One plan of assessment which
may be finally adopted provldea for taking
the value of the stocks and bonds of a
system and giving to Nebraska a per cent
based on the earnings and mileage In the
state, compared to the earnings and mile
age of the system. Should this system be
adopted it will cause a decrease In the
Northwestern system and a big Increase In
the Union Pacific, and probably the Bur
lington. This plan applied to the North
western would make the value of that sys
tem in this state $-8,500 a mile. Instead of
the present valuation of $32,000. Taking
the preferred stock of the entire system at
tt and the common at $1.G0, the value of
the stocks and bonds for the system would
be $40,870 a mile. Of the earnings 9.8 per
cent belongs to Nebraska and 14 per cent
of the mileage is in this state. Taking the
value of the stocks and bonds for a basis
and applying the per cent of earnings and
mileage In Nebraska, the road here would
be worth $28,560 a mile, and outside of Ne
braska $42,850 a mile.
Another test applied to the Northwost
ern, and this Is the test based on the
same principle used by the Interstate
Commerce commission, makes the value of
the Northwestern in Nebraska $33,250 a
mile. By this method the net earnings
capitalised at 6.94 per cent makes eacH
mile of road worth $36,600; capitalising
the gross earnings at 18.4 per cent makes
the value the aame, $36,600; adding to
that 'the $28,650 ft, mile found under the
first test, makes the total of the throe
methods $99,750, which divided by three
for an average gives a value In Nebraska
of the Northwestern of $33,25C. Under
the same plan used on the Northwestern
the Union Pacific would come up to about
$120,000 a mile, as 40 per cent of its
earnings are In Nebraska.
It is by no means certain, however, that
either of the plans now under discussion
by the board will be adopted, but some
other plan may be evolved out of these.
The figures which have been presented to
the board, or will be, were compiled by
Secretary Bennett, who with members of
the board have been at work on a sys
tem of railroad assessment which will be
uniform to all roads, .
Joker In Corporation Bill.
Senator King's bill, passed by the recent
legislature, requiring foreign corporations
to file with the secretary of state the name
of a person to act as agent of the company
upon whom 'service can be had, ia causing
a lot of uneasiness around the state house
because it looks like the bill has a "Joker"
In It. The bill provides that the corpora
tion shall not begin to do business in the
state "until the name of the agent Is filed
with the secretary of state," This haa
been Interpreted to mean that the foreign
corporations will not have to file articles of
incorporation as they do at present. Should
this be the proper Interpretation It will
mean the state will lose thousands of dol
lars, for the cost to the corporations for
filing the name of the agent la 30 cents.
Huteson After Place.
J. C. Huteson of Omaha wants to be a

Lowering; the Snnd Rate.
It Is very evident the railroads are anx
ious to haul sand these days, for another
request was made to the Railway commis
sion this morning to put In a sand rate of
4 cents a hundred between Bricklor and
Btromsberg. This makes about the fourth
sand rate that has been put Into effect by
the commission. None of the railroads has
asked permission to lower grain rates.
