I Another Line of Comparisons. I
(Issued Under Authority of the Railroads of Nebraska.) >
In our former articles we have made comparisons
showing the relative assessment of railroad property
with other property in the state of Nebraska. We
will continue to make these comparisons. They will
show that the railroads have paid proportionately
more taxes than any other interest in the state, but to
complete the line of comparisons, it will be necessary
for us to show that the railroads of Nebraska have
paid as much or more than other roads in the Trans
Mississippi states.
No matter how taxes against railroads are col
lected, whether by excise or direct taxation, the gen
eral average shows practically the same. With the
railroads it is immaterial to them what the assessed
valuation of their property should be so long as they
are not required to pay an undue amount per mile to
meet the requirements of taxation, and not in unfair
proportion to other property.
From the Inter-State Commerce Commission re
port for 1900, we find that there were 83,175 miles of
railroad lying west of the Mississippi river. These
railroads paid $14,361,109 for taxes, which makes an
average of $171.45 per mile. These figures include
every state and territory west of the Mississippi river,
excepting the Indian Territory, where the tax on
railroads, being but $10.86, is so low that we do not
include the sum in our estimates. If we did it would
I make the foregoing amount per mile a few dollars
less.
In this territory the average net earnings of all
the railroads amounted to $2,784 per mile,
r In determining the value of the railroad property
there are several essentials that must be considered.
First: The volume of business that can be given
a railroad.
Second: The difficulties of operation.
Third: The tariffs allowed to be charged.
These three features must be taken into conjunc
i tion in any estimate that should be made regarding
the value of the railroad property as an investment.
A comparison of the railroads of Nebraska with
those of New York, Pennsylvania and Maryland
| would be misleading unless these elements were
taken into consideration. In these states the rail
roads were furnished tonnage that enabled them to
handle 1,900,578 tons of freight and 202,902 passengers
for each mile of railroad, while in this Trans-Mississ
I ippi country, the railroads were furnished but 378,300
tons per mile and but 49,814 passengers as reported in
1900.
A comparison of Nebraska railroads with those of
Massachusetts would be senseless, because in Neb
raska there are 53.31 miles of railroad to serve each
10,000 people, while in Massachusetts there are but
7.55 for the same number; or, with New Jersey, which
has 29.99 miles of railroad to each 100 square miles of
territory, while Nebraska has but 7.4. However, in
the comparisons we Will select sections of railroad
in Nebraska which have a large business, and we will
pick out some eastern roads that handles approxi
mately the like character and volume of business and
make the comparison with those roads, showing the
taxes that they pay and the tax that is paid here. It
will be found that in those instances the roads of
Nebraska pay relatively higher taxes than they
should be called upon to do.
The critics who make a comparison of the tax per
mile charged in the District of Coiumbia, with that
charged on western railroads, evidently intend to de
ceive, from the fact that the city of Washington has
outgrown the District of Columbia, and the 52 miles
of railroad which are reported in that district are
practically all city property. A comparison of a Neb- 1
raska railroad with the New York Central, a four
track railroad with $57,000,000 worth of equipment
alone, would not be fair, but we will give the people [
of Nebraska the details of taxation in these other
states, for the purpose of letting them make their own
conclusions and judge whether the railroads in Neb
raska are paying their just share of tax, when com
pared with other railroads.
There are but a few states in the Union in which
the railroads pay 15.4 per cent of the taxes paid while
in the territory west of the Mississippi the railroads
in Nebraska pay more per mile than sixteen of the I
other states. Three mining states oblige the rail- >
roads to pay more than they do in Nebraska, but it is ■
a well known fact that tax levies in mining counties
are much higher than in any other localities in the
United States.
Our statement will show what the railroads pay
