IN TAXING ROADS

' Director General of Railways
Sends Word to Governor
j to Remember Government
. '.Foots Bill Imposed.
tFrom a SUtt Correspondent)
Lincoln, May 6. (Special.) The
' State Board of Equalization of Taxes
held its first session today to hear the
argument of T. H. Benton, representa
tive of the Pullman Car company, that
taxation on the property of the com
pany should not be increased.
According to Mr. Benton the PulJ
man company haa not made a new
car in four years because of the scar
city of steel. It has been robbing the
scrap: heap and rebuilding cars that
eemed beyond repair, i He made the
showing' that notwithetanding the
:ompany operated 40 fewer cars' ifi
N'ebrasVa last year, its taxes were
jtily $37 less than the year before. He
was nbt asking for a reduction in
taxes,; bat thought the same amount
as last year would be right While
the company paid $4,30Q in taxes three
years - ago for operating its cars
through the state, last .year, with few
er cars it paid a tax of 57.800.
; Uncle Sam Foots Bill.
The governor this morning re
ceived the following letter from Sec
retary McAdoo relating to taxation of
railroad property, which indicates that
th pcivrrnmmt ii oooosed to raise
in values: ! - , ,
and co-operation of the departments
of government of your state and all
subdivisions of the state, to see that
in the imposition of taxes and ih the
assessment of property for taxation,
most -careful consideration ahall be
given to the fact that all stste, cdtinty
and city taxes, lawfully and reason
ably imposed upon railroads, will be
borne by the ' government of the
1'nited States during the ; period of
federal control of railroads, and there
fore to see that the tax burden on the
railroads be made as light as is con-
sistent with the necessities of your
state and its subdivisions. In this re
spect In entirely new condition exists.
-Message From McAdoo.
"Heretofore railroad A tax nave
been puid entirely by the private own
ers ol the railroads,' but now these
taxes will be paid by the government
of the United States because the rail
roads; have been taken over by the
government as a war measure, and iri
order toi insurethe better conduct of
war operations. '""Manifestly in such
circuit) stances, the imposition of un
necessary state and local taxation on
the railroads will be an added burden;
upon the government and a distinct
. impediment to the carfyiri on of the.
war.. -.:-ii..tv 'iv.-i,,.-A,..f -',' ,
"Because of ttie" war conditions u
has become apparent that tvery un
necessary absorption of money, mate
rial and labor should be avoided to the
end that money,vmttrtaUan4 labor

activities; and-1-earnestly hope
that the government of - the United
States will have the full cooperation
' of your state' a n4 of all iU eubdi visions
in avoiding all public expenditures
which are not absolutely necessary.
This will incidentally make the tax.
burden less than it would otherwise
be, but principally it will me for nec-j

fiO POLITICS IN
WASHINGTON, IS
REAVIS' OPINION
"But1 There Are Many Pro
fiteers, Who Should Be Shot,"
Says the Fyst District
Congressman.
Congressman Frank Reavis of the
First district was in Omaha yester
day, on his way home to Falls City
from Lincoln, where he had been for
the purpose of looking up some data
for a case which he will argue
Wednesday.
It is a peculiar and historic fact that
when the next docket of the state
supreme court ia printed, for the first
time in a period of 54 years, the name
of Reavis will not be found in connec
tion with cases to be argued before
the tribunal. lodge Reavis, father of
the oresent congressman from the
First Nebraska district, was a widely
known attorney and when his son, C
F. Reavjs, took up the law in connec
tion with his father, the name ap
peared constantly.
Mr. Reavis came home early in the
week and has made several speeches
in the state. To-a Bee reporter yester
day he discuuted conditions in connec
tion With the war and said that Wash.
ington was a busy place. Profiteering
in rents has been one of the marked
things in connection with the war ac
tivities around the national capital,
and apartments which before war was
declared rented for $25 to $30 now
command as high as $100 and some
times more.
."Shoot the Profiteer."
"Congress will give the War de
partment all it needs to carry on tlie
war." said Mr. Reavis. "To win this
war ia the thing everybody in Wash
ington is working for. except, of
course, the profiteers. When this war
is over I am in favor of taking the
men who have taken advantage of war
conditions to graft the people and the
government, and stand them up
against a wall. I shall not be satisfied
with mere punishment; there must be
something more than that.
"The allies could never have won
the war against Germany, alone," said
Mr.. RAvis. "With America in the
war it can be done, but it is going to
take time and preparation, an4 every
man, woman and child must do their
part. There is no room in America
just now for any man who stands in
the way of winning the war or takes
advantage of war conditions to better
his .inancial condition.
"We are getting men over there
much faster than we did 60 days ago.
I believe, though it is only my opin
ion, that we are sending about 125,'
000 men a month across the water.
The nation has never been so united.
There is no politics in Washington.
As an instance of this fact, when
Speaker Clark was offered the sena
torship from his state, republicans in
congress unanimously and volun
tarially went to him and assured him
that if he desired the position there
would be no attempt whatever to
make a fight for his successor. The
committees could stand as they are
and would remain so.
Personal Needs Forgotten.
"There is little' hope for adjourn
ment, continued Mr. Reavis. "Mem
bers of congress are giving little con-
jitieraiion 10 personal matters.
When asked about the aircraft
proposition, Mr. Reavis said that
knowing the personnel of the board
as he did, he did not believe there was
any dishonesty on the part of any
member of the bcWd; it was simply a
casi of incompetency. "The delay has
been maddening," he said. "There was
absolutely no conference of airplane
engineers regarding the building of
the new Liberty motor. The motor
was simply nothing less than the
Packard engine. If, however, it should
develop that there has been any graft
ing in connection with the matter, and
it is shown that the delay has been
caused by manufacturers profiteering,
a punishment, merely, will not be
enough. They ahould be stood tip
against a wall and receive the punish
ment they deserve."
Mr. Reavis believes now. that ron-
ditions will improve.- "With Schwab
at the head of the shipbuilding busi
ness ana tvyan in cnarge ot the air
ship building, things will move along
in good shape," said the congressman.

I,,
Thought He'd Never Get Over
His Troubles Is Like
Old Self Now.
"As so4h as I had taken a few
doses of Tanlac I felt.it was begin
ning to straighten, ma out, and by
the time I had used up two bottles I
had gained 10 pounds and was like
my old self again," said C. D. John
son, for 10 years an engineer with the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Tail
road, and who lives at 137 South
Eighteenth street, the other day.
"For the past two years," he con
tinued, 'I suffered terribly from a
very bad case of stomach trouble. I
had no appetite and the little I forced
down was hardly enough to keep me
going. Most everything I would eat
soured on my stomach and bloated
me up so with gas that I was in great
distress night and day. I seemed to
be bilious all the time and suffered
so much with sick headaches that I
didn't know what to do. I fell off
10 pounds, and the thought that I
might never get over my trouble
made me miserable all the time.
"Several of my friends' were tak
ing Tanlae and praising it so much
that I decided to try it too, so I got
me a bottle and was soon on the
mend. My appetite has improved so
I can eat most anything I want and
I am never troubled with gas or in
digestion now in any form. Those
headaches are all gone, I sleep tike a
log all "night and get up in the morn
ings full of vim and energy and ready
for anything. Tanlac has done me
so much good that I am glad to say
a good word for it whenever I can."
