(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. July 15 (Special.) The t'nlon
Pacific and the Burlington were on hand
this afternoon at the first meeting of the
State Board of Equalization with their
protests against the work of the various
o6unty assessors, kicking on what they
termed their own high valuation and the
low valuation of other property In the
state. Representatives of the Union Pacific
requested the board to set a dat efor a
hearing at which time they agreed to be
on hand and prove the allegations In thler
pflTitests, with witnesses and documentary
evidence. The Burlington mulled its pro
test, while Edson Rich, A. V. Scrlbner and
R. J. Clancy brought down the Union
Pacific papers. The board set next Monday
for the hearing.
The protest of the Union Faclflc closes
as follows:
Your petitioner therefore protests apralnsf
the assessment and valuation of your pe
titioner's property In this stale as made
and determined by this honorable body on
or about May 81, 1S"7, and prays, requests
and demands that this honorable State
Board of Equalization and Assessment give
farce and effect to the rule of uniformity
prescribed by th.e constitution and laws of
the state of Nebraska by Increasing the
assessment of other clnsees and kinds of
property In the various counties In this
state, so as to make the same conform to
law and by reducing the finding of the
value of your petitioner's property and
your determination of the assessed value
of Its property In an amount sufficient to
permit the property of your petitioner to
hear a just and equal portion of the burden
of taxation so that your petitioner shall
pay a tax In proportion to the value of
Its property and franchises, and no more
than Its Just proportion, and that vou pro
vide for your petitioner Just and proper
relief from said excessive assessment.
The Union Pacific was valunt for assess
ment purposes at $76,000 a mile, which the
company alleges Is higher than Its full
value while all other property except rail
road property Is alleged to have been val
ued for assessment at much less than Its
true value. The company alleges that
the assessed value of real estate Is fixed
at a sum aggregating not more than 60
per cent of Its actual value; so that Instead
of real estate being assessed at 20 per cent
of Its actual value It Is assessed at not
more than 1! per cent; moneys and credits
not more than 20 per cent, or 4 per cent
of Its actual value; live stock, one-fifth
of not more than 60 per cent of its actual
value; merchandise not more than one
fifth or 45 per cent of actual value; agri
cultural Implements, one-fifth of 30 per
per cent of the actual value, and all other
property at a very much less per centage
than one-fifth of real value.
It Is alleged the board has since 19H
Increased the assessment of railroad prop
erty of th-j Union Pacific more than 38
per cent, while the assessment of real es
tate has not been Increased by the county
assessors or the board of equlllzatlon, not
withstanding the fact that the market
value of real estate has very largely ad
vanced. The Burlington protests against Ita as
sessment on the ground that the assess
ment violates the uniformity clause of the
constitution; violates .the law of the state
for the reason the property Is assessed
beyond its actual value, that the assess
ment Is at least 60 per cent higher than
the market value. Is excessive as compared
with other property; which it is alleged Is
not assessed at more than 80 per cent of
Its true value It Is alleged this assess
ment is vicious, and amounts to confisca
tion without due process of law. The Bur
lington protest Is in the name of seventeen
different corporations.
The board could do nothing at this meet
ing Inasmuch as only sixty-two counties
have been heard from. The 'returns were
delayed by reason of the delay In the
supreme court decision on the distribution
of railroad values. Secretary Bennett was
Instructed to make a tabulation of the re
turns as they come In.

If so, it might pay you to read on. No one will deny that
there are a good many men who are making good salaries

capable all at once. They just took hold, hung on, worked,

Just now there is an opening for the right man to repre

Lancaster county's Board of Equaliza
tion has slashed through Assessor Miller's
work and made a straight cut of 20 per
cent on all personal property. This wus
done, one member of the board said, by
"brute strength and awkwardness." Last
year when the State Board of Equalisation
refused to Increase the assessment of Doug
las county at the request of several prop
erty owners In Lincoln, the threat was
made that hereafter Lincoln would look
fter Its own people. Tho Board of Equal
isation apparently has carried out the
threat, as there was no general protest
against the assessment of personal prop
erty here. The matter will be called to
the attention of the state board.

GIRL MISSING FROM HOME
Retires as Csanl In Erealng and
Disappears Daring the
Mtht,
At an early hour this morning the police
were called to solve the mystery of the
disappearance of a 15-year-old girl, Jessie
Sheard, from her home, 613 North Twen
tieth. The girl lives with her parents and
she and the family retired as usual about
t o'clock last evening, the parents sleeping
upstairs and the girl downstairs with her
S-year-old brother. About 1 o'clock this
morning the parents heard the little one
crying and going downstairs found him
alone, the girl being gone. The doors of
the house were locked, but a window was
open and tha girl nowhere to be found.
Only the clothes which she ordinarily wore
are missing.
Both the police and the parents are at
a loss to account for her disappearance.
The only solutions offered are that she
has been carried away by some one or that
she has run away. The police have gone
in search of another girl about Jessie's
own age, with whom the missing girl has
associated, thinking possibly she may have
gone to her home or that the two may
have gone away together. The parents
can give no reason why the girl should
have desired to leave home, or why anyone
should desire to abduct her.
It was ascertained by the police that
Agnes Valentine, who lives at 1906 Cali
fornia street. Is missing from her home.
She Is a friend of Jessie Sheard and It
Is thought the two girls are together. The
Valentine girl told her folks that she was
going; to spend the night with the Sheard
girl.
