6-A THE OMAIIA SUNDAY BEE: FEBRUARY 7, 1915. FULL VALUATION YET ALIYE Committee that Threw it Out as Un constitutional May Be Force! to Reconsider It ELSE MUST WAIT TWO YEARS A larjce amount of Interest cenlere bout the progress of the Mil in tlx leirls Isture providing for tha full aluatlon of rrnl estate for taxation purposes. Thiar-t-dnjr night the bill wni pronoun red dead, after the eenste committee on revenue and taxation had voted It down on the grounds that the attorney rnersl had considered It unfonotltutionnl. Saturday morning came the announce ment that Senator Saunders w making an effort to save It tjr retting It re submitted to the committee. It was an nounced that Senators Kushro and Mal lery were not at the committee, meeting when the Mil waa killed, and that they desire a vole In the mutter. The system of full valuation of real estate Instead of the one-fifth valuation la In vogue In a great many states, and haa long been sought and agitated In this state by some. The bill In the senate waa Introduced by Fsunders and Qulnby, both of Douglas county. The bill carried the endorsement of the Omaha Commercial club, the Ileal Eetate exchange, the rltjr commission and vari ous other organisatlona that believed this system of valuation for taxation pur poses would be best-. City Attorney IUne drew the bill with the help and export advice of John P. Rreen. The two be lieved they were taking all precautions to avoid any hazard of unconstitutional ity. They believed they had It framed so that It would stand the test of con stitutionality If It were brought before the courts for a test If passed. Hill Is Killed. Much to the surprise of both of tbem, however, i.nd to a lot of others who fa vored It, It was declared unconstitutional by the attorney general before It even went to the committee, to say nothing of getting before the senate or the supreme court. Acting on the attorney general's opinion, then, the committee on revenue and taxation turned It down. The killing of this bill would mean that In, the future, as in the past, those who are asked to buy Omaha bonds will be shy because when they learn our rate of tax ation they feel It la exorbitsnt It Is dif ficult to explain to them that the rate of taxation, whatever It may be, is sim ply oa one-fifth of the full valuation or the property and therefore appears to, be Just five times as high as It actually Is. Then the bond buyer In the future, as tn the pant, will want te know why we don't say what we mean, or why we don't have full valuation so that mat ters of this kind ran be expressed In terms that everyone understands. Tou have to explain to him that this rate la not what It seems; that It seems five times as high as It would be If based on full valuation, and he grows more and more auspicious, because he wonders why things In the financial affairs of a city or state are not what they seem.

They show op splendidly, of course, to him who knows that we. In this state are speaking in terms of one-fifth of actual value, while most other states are speak ing of full value. But the vast majority of the people do not know this and they take the figures they find at hand.
