The state board of assessment has
changed its mind and will not at
tempt this year to enforce the pro
visions of the new revenue law. S. F.
65. authorizing reassessment cf prop
erty improperly omitted from the
tax rclls. " The board will not at
tempt to decide this year what prop
erty is taxable under thf new con
stitution which says property used
exclusively for religious, educational
or charitable purpose and not used
for profit or gain shall be exempt.
This action was taken Friday noon
at a meeting of the board attended;
; by Governor McKelvie, Tax Commis-'
js'oner V. H. Osborne. Secretary of
State Amsberry and Auditor Marsh.
The only absentee was Treasurer
Dan B. Cropsey, who is ill in a hos
pital in Minnesota. Assistant Attor
ney General Mason Wheeler was
present as counsel for the attorney
creneral's office to advise the board in ,
regard to legal questions before it. i
The action of the board leaves
probably $10,000,000 worth of prop
erty untaxed. It is made up largely
of property devoted to lodge and fra
ternal organization work, hospitals
owned by private persons and some
partly supported by churches, also
academies, colleges and parochial
schools, business colleges in part, al-'
so property of Y. M. C. A. and Y. V.
C. A. organizations, also property of
i the Knights of Columbus, and in one
instance a so-called barber college.
The Central City college of Friends,
the Hastings college and a Lutheran
school at Sterling were among the
educational institutions cited by the
board e3rly in November to appear
and fhow cause why their property
should not be taxed. Tax Commis
sioner Osborne notified seventeen
hospitals they were exempt from tax-f
ation.
Some of the institutions cited to
appear contended that .the board has
no Jurisdiction to enforce the reas
Ecsrrcent of property under the new
methods described in S. F. 65, for the
reason that this law, based on the
constitution effective January 1. did
rot go into effect until July 2S or
August 1, long after property was
iicted for taxation and equalized by
county board3 and the state board, j
and in fact it was not improperly;
orsHted this year. Some of these
stituiions, such a3 the Eoyle busi
ness college cf Omaha, admitted it
would be taxable next year, but that I
it . i . i.
li wets uui tci.auic ui.uci iue aiuic
law as it existed April 1.
The state board held meetings be
ginning November 2 and among those
heard in protest were directors of
the Odd Fellows home at York and
the Omaha Scottish Rite. St. Eliza
beth's hospital in Lincoln was not
cited to appear for the reason that
its property is now on the tax rolls
of Lancaster county and a test suit
is pending in the supreme cnurt. j
The House of the Good Shepherd
of Omaha, which operates a laundry
that competes on the market with
privately owned laundries, was the t
subject of a protest from an orgaul- j
zation of Omaha laundrymen. All j
institutions not taxed this year will
remain untaxed until next year. The '
state board has not outlined what
policy it will follow next year, but
by that time there may be new court
decisions which will nettle eome of
the new questions. The meaning of
the new constitution, "when such
property is not owned or used for
financial gain or profit to either the i
owner or user," used in relation to
exemption of property from taxation
will remain uninterpreted for the
present.
The new method of reassessing the
omitted property provided for in S.
F. 65 was not intended by the legis
lature to be enforced this year. It .
is this provision which the state
board now holds should not be en-;
forced at this time. The board is
given discretionary power under that :
law to say when it is to the best in- t
terests of the state to enforce this '
law. The joint committees of the
house and senate which framed S.
F. 65 announced during the winter
that it was not intended the new
methods of taxation should be ef
fective this year, and for that reason
it was not passed with an emergency '
clause. j
The state board adopted a resolu tion
Friday reciting the initiation of
steps to enforce the law by the state
tax commissioner and the board, clos-i
;ing with the expression: "Resolved,!
that it is the opinion of the board '
that the best interests of the tax
payers of this state are best subserv
ed by foregoing the administration
,of this act until the year 1922." j
i It is said the board took into con-.
i . - i
sideration the possibility of a multl
j pliclty of suits which would follow
an attempt to enforce the law this
year.
On October 31, we received a let
ter from Tennessee. A physician
who is there in high esteem made a
test with Triner's Liniment and now
writes: "I have tried Triner's Lini
ment on a boy suffering from en
larged joints. The ankle joints were
almost dislocated with a very limit
ed movement of the joint. The result
of the application of Triner's Lini
ment is very pleasing Indeed. Please
send me a pint C. O. D. at once."
If you try this remedy for sprains,
strains, rheumatism or neuralgia, you
will be surprised at the results. Keep
it at home for such cases, and also
ask your druggist or dealer In medi
cines not to be out of Triner's Bit
ter Wine. Authorities in many sec
tions of the country look for the re
currence of "flu" this winter in a
more severe form than last year.
Prophylaxy is the best thing. At the
first sign of trouble look through
your medicine chest whether Trin
er's Bitter Wine is on the shelf, be
cause that is the very remedy that
will bring you out of danger.
RESERVE OFFICERS

State Convention Will Be Held at
Omaha on December 12-13 at
the Army Building.
The 1 following residents of Cass
county hold commissions in the Re
nerve Corps of the United States

who. besides having already served
their country during the late war,
have also placed themselves at the
tall of the. government for duty, in
case of any national emergency.
The Reserve Corps is not to be con
fused with veteran organizations, it
being a branch of the Regular army

which is ready on call, although not
in active duty until called, the mem

ing from year to year to be fit for
service.

mouth; Lt. D. B. Lynde, Inf.. Union.
Capt. A. D. Caldwell, of this city,

nominating committee of the con
vention by the general committee in
charge of the gathering.
This list was furnished by the Re
serve Officers Association of Omaha,
who, in sending the same, have an
nounced a call for a. state convention
of Reserve Officers of Nebraska to be
held December ;12-13, 1921, at the
Amy building, 'Omaha, for the pur
pose of Instruction on the consti

ANOTHER STATE EXPENSE
How much Nebraska's state gov
ernment will be called upon to ap
propriate to meet the provisions of
the maternity bill passed by congress
and signed by the president, provid
ing it desires to meet the terms of
the act, will not be known until a
copy of the bill has been received, lt
was changed somewhat in passage,
but that provision appropriating out
right $10,000 of federal funds to
each state is said to have been al
lowed to remain in the bill. Secretary
H. H. Antles of the Nebraska depart
ment of public welfare has sent for a
copy of the new act.
It is possible that the state may
receive something additional over
and above this $10,000. If the state's
present appropriations for child hy
giene can be counted as a nappropri
ation of the state under the federal
maternity bill, the state might be en
titled to eome additional federal mon
ey. The amount of federal aid which
states may meet with a like appro
priation If they choose under the ma
ternity bill is said to be based on
population. It will be up to the next
legislature to say whether the state
desires to meet the terms of the fed
eral act. The terms of the federal act.
The terms of the maternity bill are
said to be similiar to the act of con
gress providing federal aid for states
to be used in eradication of social
diseases. The last legislature appro
priated a total of $32,000 for that
purpose. It is supposed at least as
much will be asked from the state
under the maternity bill.

to a committee to work out a pro

The approval of the board was re

Tt-e si-curing of a county agricul

1922.
It was decided by the board that
a budget should be made by a com

board which they did. The following
budget was decided upon: Mr.

Tipton precinct held a very inter

by the good attendance and interest
shown at the meeting. Thirty-three
women were present and all of the
Heme Economics girls attended the
meeting. The sewing room was turn

.tnd Miss Bennison, the home eco

in the work and assisted in every
way to make the meeting a success.
Mrs. J. A. Gardner is project leader
for Tipton precinct with Mrs. West

Miss Gladys Legg, clothing spec

women how to make their sewing
easier by showing them how to use

Many women we found failed to rea

chine attachments are but at both
meetings they voted to take up the
work as a project and put into prac

at the Mt. Pleasant club at the home
of Mrs. Plybon and at Rock Bluff pre
