STATE TAX PLAN
NED ON MONEY
ACCREDITS
SENATE BILL WOULD PUT THEM
ON SAME BASIS FOR TAX
ATION AS REAL ESTATE
Money, cash money and credits
will not be as attractive in this state
if the senate file No. G5, the new tax
ation law emerges from the opposi
tion it now has onto the statute
hooks of the state. This bill hag
some radical changes from the pres
ent svstem of taxation and has been
in the hands of the committee on
revenues and taxation for some time
but is expected to be reported out
soon.
Monevs and credits all intangi
ble property have hitherto teen
practically untaxed in Nebraska, say
most of the legislators. The present
law provides for taxing them on the
same basis as real estate, that is, on
a one-fifth valuation. But it is con
ceded that nobody ever lists any
money with the assessor to speak
of. The new law provides for a
straight tax of 4 mills on the dollar
of actual valuation. Members of
the legislature who are in accord
with the bill declare that this low
rate will have the effect of bringing
out the listings of money since the
people would rather pay the small
tax than leave themselves liable to
perjury.
Iowa has had practically the same
law for some years. Moneys and
credits are there also listed separ
ately but the state of tax is placed
at u mills on the dollar instead of 4
as porposed by the Nebraska bill. .
The mortgage taxation law is also
amended by the bill. The present
law places the tax on the property
mortgaged and leaves the mortgage
itself tax free. This was, done to
avoid double taxation. The" new law
would tax the mortgage at the rate
of 50 cents on each $100 of actual
value.
State, county, city a"nd township
bonds are to be taxed at 1 mill on
the dollar cf actual valuation.
The following is. the" new section
on intangible property: . . ........
"Moneys, credits, ' ' corporation
shares or stocks, cash. United States
legal tender notes, and other notes
and securities of the United States,
payable on demand, notes (other than
notes secured by real estate mortgag
es), accounts, contracts for cash or
labor, bills of exchange, judgments,
chosesin action, liens of any kind,
(other than real estate mortgages),
securities, debentures .bonds, (other
than those, of the Unietd States, or
of this state or governmental sub
divisions of this state), annuities,
and all other demands for labor or
other valuable thing, whether due or
to become due. and all other intangi
ble property, shall be separately list
ed and shall be taxed four (4) mills
on the dollar of actual valuation
thereof, the same to be assessed and
collected where the owner resides."
Then follows the remainder of the
section making exception of bonds
of the state, county, city or town
ship and fixing the rate at 1 mill
on the dollar of actual valuation.
These are now assessed as other pro
perty on a one-fifth valuation.
The straight tax on mortgages is
to take the place of the existing law
which sought to avert double taxa
tion by placing the tax on the pro
perty mortgaged and leaving the
mortgage tax free. This was on the
contention that ifthe owner of the
mortgage and the holder of the pro
perty mortgaged both paid a tax
there would be a double tax on the
same property value.
There are many amendments to
the bills which have been formu
lated and hashed over in the com
mittee but no action has been taken
on any of them. It is expected that
amendments will be submitted today
at 10 o'clock.
SIGNS OF SPRING
One of the mediums by which the
arrival of spring can be ascertained
is the activities of Hans Seivers, cus
otdian of the court house and this
morning when Hans was found pre
paring the garden plot just east of
the court house grounds we decided
that truly spring was here in all
its glory and in but a few short
weeks lettuce, radishes and other of
the early, vegetables would be out In
full blast in this little bit of a gar
den plot. Incidently Hans has dis
covered other signs of spring In the
vicinity of the court house as a ladies
powder puff was picked up on the
lawn yesterday morning and which
proves that the billing and cooing
season is truly "mit us."

COMPANY OFFERS SCALE OF
WAGES THAT ARE SUBMIT
TED TO EMPLOYES.
The first mo'e of the Burlington
railroad management toward a reduc
tion of wages on the system has been
made and is set forth in a bulletin
issued from Chicago and which was
posted yesterday in the local shops
as well as at all points over the sys
tem. The railroad is asking for an
agreement among the employes and
representatives of the company and
the final adjustment of the matter
by the federal wage board at Chi
cago, which recently passed on a
number of applications from south
ern railroads and which were at that
time rejected.
The bulletin received and posted
on the bulletin boards of the com
pany is as follows:
"The United States railroad labor
board having by its decision No. 2
of July 20. 1920. fixed certain rates
of pay for laborers on the railroads
which in the judgment of the board
were then just and reasonable, and
it appearing that the conditions
have changed since that date so that
the rates referred to are no longer
just and reasonable in view of the
decreased cost of living and the
scales of wages paid for similar kinds
of work in our territory.
"The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
raliroad hereby proposes to its em
ployes that effective thirty days here
after or on March 31, 1921, a new
and decreased scale of wages for:
(1) Track laborers and laborers
in the Maintenance of Way & Struc
ture Department and in and around
shops and warehouses, including
such as engine watchmen and wip
ers, fire builders, ashpit men, flue
borers, coal, passers, coal chute men,
etc.
(2) Freight handlers or truckers
and common labor in and around sta
tions, storehouses and warehouses,
including janitors and watchmen."
4Shall be made effective if possible
fcy agreement between-the manage
ment and its employes on their rep
resentatives prior to that time as to
what are just and reasonable wages
based on present living costs and
wages paid in our territory, which
now appear to us as ranging from 30
to 48'z cents, or in event of failure
to agree, by decision of the U. S.
Railroad Labor board on the sub
ject prior to that date by orderly ap
peal to such board in accordance
with section 301 of the transporta
tion act.
"This also is to advise that the
management will meet any represen
tatives of its employes of the class
es named at Chicago at 10:30 a. m.,
Thursday, March 10, for the purpose
of the conferences required by sec
tion 301 of the Transportation act."

discuss matters of mutual interest
in the business life of the city. The
members of the luncheon party after
discussing the matter thoroughly de

HAS PECULIAR ACCIDENT
Harry Eller met with a pecular
accident last week that caused him
the loss of two perfectly good teeth.
In company with some of the boys.
he was in Stohlman's hardware store
and they were trying to see who
could lift the heaviest load with
their teeth. Harry led the others
and lifted a 110 pound keg of nails
with his teeth. The keg was held
by a rope. The rope slipped through
his teeth and caught on the two low
er front teeth and jerked them out
as neatly as a dentist could have
dene. It happened too quickly to
hurt him much and he was surely a
surprised young man to find his teeth
extracted by a new, painless method.
However, Dr. Anderson, the Louis
ville dentist is fitting him out with
a bridge that will be almost as
good as the original ones and Harj-y
is receiving the congratulations of
his friends upon being the champion

THE NEARING
APPROACH OF
GSTYELECTION
CO-OPERATION OF CITIZENS RE
GARDLESS OF POLITICAL AFFI
LIATION SECURES RESULTS
It is now but the matter of some
two weeks until tne city campaign
will be ready for launching and
once more the voters of I lie commun
ity be called upon to select the per
sons who are tq guide the affairs of
the municipality for the coming
year (or two years if the new law
enacted by the legislature is passed).
This is a matter that should have the
thought and attention of every resi
dent of the city regardless of their
political affiliations.
The affairs of the city government
should not be viewed from a strict
partisan standpoint as it is a matter
vital to everyone and the fact that
there is no political importance to
the offices makes it easier for the
voters to go forth and select men
for their fitness for the particular
office that they may be desired to
fill in the government of the city.
We have been fortunate in recent
years in the selections of the head. 4
of the city government as in both
Mayor Schneider and former Mayor
Sattler the affairs of the city have
received the most careful considera
tion and thought and it is vital to the
future welfare of the city that this
be continued through the coming
year.
It has been the common tendency
of the citizens to shirk the re
sponsibility of office holding in the
city government and in this they
are not wholly to be blamed as it
means a sacrifice of time, the receiv
ing of more or less criticism, but it is
a duty that everyone should render
to the community in which they live
if the call for their services comes
clear and strong from the people of
the community.
The offices pay no salaries to
speak of, and are of the utmost im
portance to every man, woman and
child that calls Plattsmouth home
or expects to make this city their
permanent residence. It is hard to
select men who are willing to make
the sacrifice of time and energy to
assist in giving the city a good clean
business-like administration and
when they are secured they should
be given the hearty co-operation of
the people. .
This selection of city officials is
one of business first, last and all the
time and far removed from the sphere
cf partisan politics and should be so
regarded. While in the life of the
i-.ation two political parties tire ne
ressary to maintain the spirit of
free government, in a smallcommun
ity such c.3 ours the glamour of po
liti"r.l qi:cstirns shculd not be per
mitted to overshadow the best inter
ests of the city and its people.
