BUKLUiGTON KOAD TAXES
Governor Bryan and members of
the state board of taxation continu
ed in session Tuesday to hear the
Burlington railroad's plea that it is
taxed too high in Nebraska.
Attorney Bryon Clark introduced
exhibits to show that the Burling
ton property In Nebraska has an as
sessed valuation of $95,797,925, and
that this should be reduced by equal
ization with other property which
it is alleged is assessed at 75 per
cent of its market value. Last year
the ttate board assessed the Burling
ton at $110,000,151 after equalizing
the amount on a basis of 75 per cent.
The state board values railroad
property on a basis of stocks and
honds. The Burlington contends that
while it has no stock on the market
the state beard found the value of
its stock to be $225 a share. The
company introduced testimony to
show that a few shares on the curb
market were sold last March at
$19G.50 and some in April at an
average of $195.
The joint showing of roads on
sales and mortagos assessed value
of private property In the state,
principally farm land, is only about
62 percent of its market value.
MOTHER'S DAY
Perhaps no movement in all his
tory has so griped the national con
sciousness and thrilled its way to
public appreciation in so short a time
as the general observance of Moth
er's Day. Since its inauguration some
years ago, there has been no wild
outburst of enthusiasm that quickly
subsided, but a rapid and universal
growth in popular favor. There is a
reason. The day was set aside and
dedicated to one. who. whether in a
palace or cabin, has been the con
trolling force in shaping the destinies
of nations Mother.
Next. Sunday is the day we honor
her. The churches of this city are
inviting you to assist them in mak
ing this a great d)y. They ask that
yiu make a special effort to attend
the services in honor of your mother.
Each will have a carefully planned
program that will be a blessing to
y 1 1 . The llchndii church will have
a seat of honor for an older repre
Ml :.i e mother of the church and
also a young mother. We are en
deavoring to make the church a bow
er of flowers for this occasion. If
the pastor is notified this week all
mother's who have no way of getting
to th services will be called for next
Sunday morning and brought to the
church by autos specially provided
for this service.
