Nebraska HOWARD COUNTY PEOPLE ROUSED Controversy' Oyer Reappraisal School Lands Brings to AtteiD tion Public Problem. of MAY MEAN MUCH TO SCHOOLS Nebraska (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. FVb. 14. (Special.) The con troversy which has arisen over the action of the State Board of Lands and Fund favoring a reassessment of certain school lands In Howard county has stirred up the commissioners of Cherry county, and. according to a statement coming to the office of Land Commissioner HeckmannH clipped from the St. Paul Republican, the jieoplo are considerably fctlrred up over the matter In Howard county and the action of the Cherry county commis sioners asking that if Howard county lands) be reduced thae lands In that county also be reduced. This 'has caused the stale board to take notice of what It will mean to the school fund of the stale If a reduction Is made as asked, for by Howard county, Discussing the matUr the St. Paul paper said: There has been considerable contro versy regarding; th.i apraisemcnt of the srnonl lands mmle In this county In 1I4, which raised the averaue valuation to H-.'.7. For eleven years prior to this time there wer a number uf tracts in this county which had been appraised nt $1 per acre and the state not trie magnificent sum of 6 cents per acre rental or t-.4 pr forty a year. The last appraisement of the county commissioners lowered the average from I12.W to sS.W, thus depriving the state school fund of S16.S8.1(; per year. There There was no doubt ther some land in the county might have been assessed too high, but here could not possibly be many tracts according to the information t hand. While on the other hand there are tracts that average well with land that i nsncssed at J-2 per acre, and i some which Is vali ed at from 140 to irirt per acre. There are Instances in this county where the lease holder has sold ills Imlrilnir at from tSOO to Sl.fiuO as a bonuo. There are instances also In the county whem the lease holders do nt care for the IhikI lonuer and are re-leas Ing to other parties for almost throe ' tiinna tho amount nald H e state bv the ' original lease holders. There are in stances In this co.inly where 120 acres nf achr.nl land Is being new on a stace iniu . m fnr -1'l acres in a neighbor hood whore land could not be purchased ' tn Iabb than t-iu to Sr Der acre. In view of the facts at hand. It be hooves tb people of the county to look Into this matter more particularly than hao been the nractlce. If these school lands are being handled by speculators! and the state oepnvea or money rmm- fully due it. and if farmers are willing lease this land and pay a monus ol as much ns 11.500 it appears to the aver ego person and taxpayer that this money rightfully belongs to tne state scnooi fnnri and -not to the sneculator. I also hehrmvea the taxnavers to take the matter up with Mr. Beckman, who Is (standing pat on this question and give . him their views. The republican does rot pretend to know these lands in ques- , tlon. nut we nave xne worn ol bu".j reputable men that many tracts in the rountv are not annraiscd one-half what thnv. should be. If the farmer is giving ' much more to the Individual than he 1 to the state for the samo quality of land, then the past appraisement is far j too low. : Tn all fairness to the state school fund let those who know of these conditions renort them as thev are to the state, and ' if the school lands are in the hands of : speculators, swat them and swat them . hard. The land speculator has been an - aggravation for years past , ana it ' hlzh time the shackles were broken. A petition is now in circulation and being freely signed, asking the state . board to annul the last appraisement and let the old one of 1(14 stand, or raise S the good land to somewhere near its value.
