WANTS THE COURT
TO FIX FAIR VALUA
TION OF ITS LINES
Rock Island Says Ntcessarv to Se
cure Justice. State Board Acts
Arbitrarily Evidence Shows.
The Rock Island railroad in a
brief filed Monday. Ji-ks the supreme
court to itself fix what is a proper
valuation of the property of the com
pany for taxation purposes in tiie
state, and then tell the state board
of equalization to make that the ba
sis for levying taxes. The attorneys
insist that the legislature, when it
adopted a law permitting the rail-rai!-
t apptal to the supreme court
infant to provide-a method by which
s'.n h a dispute can be settled and not
juggled back and forth between the
s ir rcme ;:! and the state board.
As iix.-d by the beard in 1923 the
Hick I.-Iand property was valued at
ilii.tiM.!"".". On an appeal the su
preme court said this was manifest
ly too hih as compared with other
property, since the evidence showed
that farm lands were taxed around
'-i per ont of their actual sale value.
The board was directed to elminate
t'.ie discrimination.
All i: did. however, was to' reduce
the railroad valuation to $9.571.4iS
or a little over a million, which re
duced the taxes of the company 19
713. The attorneys for the road iaid
that this action of the board made
their success in the appeal illusory,
and that while the supreme court did
tell the board to make the valua
tion O per cent of the ngure stated,
which would have reduced it to 56,
M'..oi.oi, what it did say was no war
rant for a finding that represents the
arbitrary action of the board and
v. as not based on any relevant of
material evidence. The declaration of
the board that it pave "full and due
consideration" does not block a court
inquiry.
It is pointed out that the other
railroads have gone into federal
court, claiming that the state court
pains them nothing, and that the
federal supreme court has held they
had this right. Justice Holmes scid
that whm the state court acted on a
writ of error it was confined to the
record, and that the most it could do
was to set aside the excessive valua
tion and remit the matter to the
board, a method hardly satisfactory
where the board is trying to evade
the law.
The Rock Island attorneys pay
that unless the court takes on itself
the duty of fixing the valuation the
federal eupreme court criticism of
the law will stand. It thinks the
court should do something more than
erase the figures of the board and
then hand it back leaving the hoard
free to set down any new figure it
wants to do. Acting on the theory
that the court will fix a valuation,
the brief argues at length what that
should be. contending that as the
traffic in Ni-.-rasi:a is only about half
as ;I, nse ::s on the system the main
track mileage basis of proportioning
the total value is wrong. A valua
tion in excess of $G.43'.0oi is de
clared to be about ri;ht.
AFTER PAPER NUMEEES
Prat T-umdny'i Djiy-
The niht police force last even
ing tagged another of the numerous
autoi.-ts who are traveling over the
country on paper numbers instead of
the usual license plates for which
the great state of Nebraska ha3 pro
vided a suitable fee. The party tak

for his appearance here la'er. The

dealers on selling a car to give- the

they have to pay the piper and lose
a great deal more than the cost of a

the city. Incidentally war cn the

FOREMAN AT THE
LOUISVILLE STONE
QUARRY INJURED
Ion Kilgore Suffers Broken Leg and
Other Injuries When Part of
Tunnel Cayes On Him
From Wednesday's Daily
Another very serious accident oc
curred between 1 and 2 o'clock Mon
day afternoon at the National stone
quarry at Louisville, when a part
of the top of a tunnel caved in and
resulted in the breaking of the left
leg of Lon Kilgore, foreman in the
quarry.
Mr. Kilgore as is the custom of the
quarry had gone into the tunnel af
ter the blasting to assist in remov
ing any loose rock or dirt that nfight
be hanging to the top of the tunnel.
He had climbed onto a shelf of rock
to dislodge a large section of clay
that was hanging there and which
he feared would cause injury to
some of the workmen. He found
that the clay was hard to get loose
and decided to place a shot of dyna
mite in a crevice above the clay in
order to clear it away. As he was
lighting the fuse the clay sudden
ly gave away and fell, striking him
on the back. The left leg of Mr.
Kilgore was broken at the ankle and
his back very badly injured and the
nerves of the back very badly in
jured. He also received a wound
on the head and about the face and
hands.
The injured man was taken by Dr.
Wortman to the Lord Lister hos
pital in Omaha where he has since
been cared lor and the injuries for
tunately were not as serious as had
at first been feared.
This accident is somewhat similar
to that of last summer which result
ed in the death of W. E. Crabill.

a part of the roof of the tunnel in
which he was working and w hile Mr.
Kilgore had a very bad injury he

TALKJN FIGURES
George H. Wood of Louisville Enter
tains Large Audience at Metho
dist Church Last Evening
From Wdofe3day' Daily
The science of figures, their com
prehension and use was given the
fullest possible explanation last ev
ening at the Epworth League room
of the Methodist church when Geo.
H. Wood, cashier of the Home
State bank of Louisville was heard
in his lecture and demonstration cf
calculation of figures.
Mr. Wood has a system all his
own and which in its demonstration
certainly seems a vast improvement
and a more practical means of ar
riving at the total of figures and
problems 1 n which the young peo
ple "are trained in their school work,
than the present systems that are
prescribed.
The occasion was a real treat to
the men and women who were in at
tendance and a3 the larger part of
the audience had not witnessed a
demonstration of the work of Mr.
Wood it was a revelation as he in
a few words added up column after
column of figures and gave the to
tals before the audience was hard
ly aware that the figures had been
placed on the blackboard.
From the demonstration of Mr.
Woods, a method such as he has
evolved would certainly make a great
improvement if adapted to school
use and its practical uses certainly
leads the Plattsmouth people to hope
that the Wood system will in time
be adopted as one of the methods
of teaching the science of mathemat
ics in the public sc hools.

Former Linotype Operator
Here Very III in Colorado
From Monday's Daily
The many friends here of Earl
Irelan, formerly a linotype operator
on the Journal, will regret very
much to learn that Mr. Irelan is in
a very critical condition in Colorado,
where he has been for the greater
part of the time for the last few
years, as he has been suffering from
an affection of the lungs that made
necessary his going there three years
ago.
Mr. Irelan is a member of the local
camp of the Modern Woodmen, and
when first taken sick was sent to
the Woodmen sanitarium near Colo
rado Springs, which is maintained
for the members of the order. Here
his condition improved very much,
and he was soon apparently well on
the highway to complete recovery.
Later, however, he returned to Ne
braska and was taken with a re
lapse and forced to return to the
mountain country.
His present attack was quite sud
den, however, as his relatives and
friends had been thinking that his
condition warranted the hope of his
ultimate recovery. Mrs. Irelan, who
was visiting at Nebraska City with
relatives and friends, was called
back to Colorado Springs by the
news of the attack, the message from t
there stating that his condition was i
critical.

of trees and grass were washed up
on the sidewalks and the firemen
were soaking wet as they fought to
keep the sewers open to naul oil tne
water. The obstructions caused the
waters to raise very rapidly and at
almost every interection the water
came up so high that it swept over
the walks at the street corners.
The overflowing of the Chicago
avenue sewer occurred first and had
practically subsided when that on
Washington concluded to empty
the great wall of water that had
formed there and which swept on
to the main part of the city. Had
the overflowing of both sewers oc
curred at the same time with the
blocked condition of the sewers it
is hard to tell just what the result
of the storm would have been and it
is due the firemen anel citizens who
cume on down to the main part cf
the city to give them credit for their
work and the policemen who assist
ed in keeping open as far as pos

ed the water to keep moving.
The vast volume of water that
came from the hills and poured
from the sewers transformed the
land east of the Burlington station
into a small sized lake.
