he thought he was entertaining the

Argues for
Freedom of
Criticism
Former Secretary of War Virorous
in Denunciation of Court
Action in Contempt
Cleveland .Freedom of the press
and the "American prerogative" of
..... ... . . .
criticising pumic omciais were vig
orously unheld by former Secretary
of War Newton D. Baker Tueslay
in denouncing contempt of court pro
ceedings brought against two execu
tives of the Cleveland Press.
Baker argued vehemently against
rigid application of the contempt
laws as in "the dark days" when the
public was "efficiently gagged" in
asking Common Pleas Judge -Frederick
P. Walther to drop his charges
against Louis B. Seltzer, editor of the
Press, and Carlton K. Matson. chief
editorial writer. Previously charges
against John G. Milink, business
r.-.nnager, were dismissed on Baker's
contention that they had nothing to
do with the editorial published a
week ago severely criticising Judge
Walther for granting a temporary
injunction to operators of Thistle
down race track.
The injunction restrained Sheriff
E. J. Hanraty from interfering with
use of the "contribution" system of
betting at the race track, providing
it was not illegal. The sheriff ignor
ed the order, arrested three men and
closed the track after only one day
of the scheduled twenty-two day
meet had been held
The men arrest-
ed were acquitted of gambling
charges in a justice of peace court,
but the. sheriff said he would con
tinue to make arrests and the meet
wsa definitely cancelled Tuesday.
Criticism of the Court.
The editorial, headed. "If This Be
Contempt of Court." and in later
editions revised and headed "It Cer
tainly Is Dreadful." criticised Judge
Walther for interfering with the
sheriff's efforts to stamp out betting
and termed his order "either mon
strous or ridiculous."
The jurist explained in a written
statement that h had made the or
der effective only if the "contribu
tion" scheme were illegal and had
not interfered with the sheriff's duty.
He asserted the editorial was "con
tempting and libelous."
Baker, however, took the stand
inat was no contempt in the
ituiionai, arguea inai ine injunction
did not constitute a judicial order
jand asserted the jurist had been
made the tool of the Interests Fuck

Tax Assessments
oh Rail Systems
Up 1 Million
Union Pacific Increase is the Largest
Because of Rise in Stocks ; Bur
lington Value Estimated
Lincoln, Neb., July 16. An in
crease of nearly five million dollars
for the Union Pacific rairoad, a re
duction of over two million dollars
for the North Western, a decrease of
$376,000 for the Rock Island, and
minor shifts upward and downward
for three other steam carriers were
decided upon by the state board of
equalization today in fixing the tax
valuation of the transportation com
panies for 1929.
The net effect of the various
changes is to raise the total assess
ments of the seven principal roads
operating in Nebraska from $255,
277,760 a year ago to $257,890,733
this year an increase of $2,612,973,
or slightly more than on per cent.
Same Method As in 1928.
In arriving at its figures, the board
used the same method of calculating
values as it did in 1928. It took as
a factor in the assessment the mar
ket value of stocks and bonds for
each road, as of April 1, this year,
of the total value of each system, an
amount was allocated to Nebraska
computed on the two elements of all
track mileage and gross earnings.
On this basis the number of miles
of track in Nebraska was considered
in proportion to the whole system
mileage; with a ratio between gross
earnings in Nebraska to those of the
entire system.
The Union Pacific came in for the
biggest increase because its common
stock advanced from $196.75 a share
on April 1, 1928, to $216.50 on the
same date this year, and its bonds
held up better in price than those of
some other carriers.
Burlington Value Estimated.
- In the case of the Burlington,
whose stock is not listed nor dealt
in on any exchange, the board was
compelled to estimate its value, as
it did in 1928, assuming a value of
$255 per ehare.
The North Western's reduction is
due to its stock value decreasing, .as
well as that of its bonds.' '' v' '
Here are the respective valuations
of the seven principal railroads as
fixed by the state board for the pres
ent year, with a comparison for last
year:
Kod 1929 1928
Burlington J109,!S3,i.S5 $109,840,977
Union Pacific.. 94.119.712 89,21.800
Norths Wentfrn. 26,909.993 29.016.711

Missouri Pacific 10.124,109 10,029.993
M. & 0 6.748.D14 6.787.752
S. J. &. G. I. ... 3.180,056 3.180.056
The Grand Island road is the only
one in the group which is not as
sessed strictly on a stock-and-bond
basis. It is owned by the Union Pa
cific and its valuation is determined
by computing mileage investment
within the state. All the mileage is
in Nebraska and Kansas, except the
Missouri river crossing and terminals
at St. Joseph. The board did not
change it from last year's figures.
In addition to the foregoing lump
assessments on their carrier prop
erty in Nebraska, the first six roads
also pay taxes on the following
amounts of real estate otherwise as
sessed: Union Tacific $4,573,355
Burlington 1.938.693
North Western 148,660
Rock Island 39,905
Missouri Pacific 343.355

NO TURPITUDE INVOLVED
New York The United States cir
cuit court of appeals Tuesday ruled
that a man who violates the pro
hibition law is not necessarily guilty
of moral turpitude.
The court ordered the release from
Ellis island of Bernard Iorio, form
erly of Gallup. N. M., who had been
held for deportation to Italy on
grounds of moral turpitude based
partly on the fact that he had been
convicted of violation of the prohibi
tion law.
The opinion of the circuit court of
appeals, written by Judge Learned
Hand, held that Iorio's "misstate
ments" had been "irrelevant."
"Please do not regard every viola
tion of the prohibition law as a crime
involving moral turpitude," the opin
ion reads. " We cannot say that
among the commonly accepted mores
the sale or possession of liquor as
yet occupies so grave a place, nor
can we close our eyes to the fact that
large numbers of persons otherwise
reputable do not think so, rightly or
wrongly."

PLACES FIRST
Ask Irene Reuter, a member of
the Sunshine Canning club, how to
judge canned fruits and vegetables.
With 259 points out of a possible
300, she placed first in judging
peaches, carrots and greens; a spec
ial feature of the third meeting held
at the home of Marguerite and Jo
sephine Ayres.
Lucile Christenson, local leader,
emphasized that part of Lesson II
which takes up judging. "The mem
bers must know how to criticise their
jars, in order to make the best, bet
ter, she said. They learned the d?T
ferent entries to be made at the
state fair, and now's the time when
they're canning for some of those
blue ribbons.
Already 263 jars have been can
ned. Everybody sampled Marguerite
and Josephines' dandy strawberry
preserves.
At the next meeting all will be
on their toes about club camp at
Murray.
