Manacer 340 Caxton Bldg., Chicago, I1L ' Missouri and Nebraska The supreme court of Missouri has Issued a writ of mandamus, ordering the state board of equalization to re convene and make a new assessment of the railroad, telegraph and express companies and other corporations whose properties are subject to as sessment and taxation by the state board on the basis of their actual val ue, which means the market value of their stocks and bonds. This action of the supreme court of Missouri stands out in marked contrast with the re cent refusal of the supreme court of Nebraska to grant relief to the tax payers of this state from flagrant dis criminations. In Missouri the ses sions of the state board of equaliza tion are held in public, and not in star chamber, as in Nebraska. The Mis souri board designates days for hear ings and publicly invites county and city officials and all citizens Interested in assessment of railroads, public bridges and telegraph property to pre sent their statements, testimony and arguments, while the Nebraska board allows its time to be monopolized be hind closed doors by railroad tax agents, attorneys and pass distributors. The assessments by the Missouri board are made on careful estimates of the valuation of the tangible prop erty, classilied into roadbed, super structure, rolling stock, depot build ings and other improvements on the railroad right-of-way, whereas the Ne braska board has dumped together all railroad property regardless of better ments or increased value and increased volume of. traffic and earnings. The striking contrast between Ne braska and Missouri railroad assess ments is presented by a comparison of assessments in the two states the last two years. The railroad mileage in Nebraska for 1901 was 5.652 miles, as sessed for $26,442,254, or $4,679 per mile, while the total railroad assess ment for 1902 is $26,589,592, with a mileage of 5,704 miles, or an increase of 52 miles, which at 4,661.57 per mile shows an actual decrease of $17.43 per mile or 397,918 less in 1902 than in the year preceding. The total mileage of railroads in Missouri for 1901 was 7,427 miles, as sessed for $112,63,986, or $14,605 per mile. The total mileage of the Mis souri railroads for 1902 is 7,552 miles, or an increase of 125 miles, which, figured at $14,605 per mile would have added to the total value for 1902 $1, 825,625, making an aggregate of $114, 499,611. But the Missouri board raised the assessment of 1902 from $112,673, 986 to $120,870,668, or an increase of $8,197,682, making the average per mile $16,005. According to the auditor of Missouri all property in that state is assessed at one-third of its actual value, while the ratio in Nebraska is about one-sixth. Assessed by the Mis souri standard, Nebraska railroads would average $8,002.50 per mile, in stead of $4,661, and the total assess ment of Nebraska railroads would be $45,724,429, instead of $26,589,592. And yet the Missouri supreme court declares that the Missouri board has been derelict in its duty in assessing the property of the railroad, telephone and telegraph companies away below their true valuation as measured by the price of their stocks and bonds. In a nutshell the Missouri assessment of railroads at double the value placed upon them in Nebraska" is pronounced intolerably unjust and the people of Missouri are given relief by their su preme court. Omaha Bee. Without an examination of the Mis souri law relative to the assessment of railroads, especially as to the matters which the board must consider, it is not conclusive that because the Mis souri court granted the writ, the Ne braska court should have done so. A supreme court decision is something more than a mere adjudication of the case at bar it establishes a precedent which is followed as law until reversed or modified. And it is essentially wrong for a court to usurp the func tions of other departments of govern ment. The supreme court is not an assess ing body, and it cannot correct errors ty the writ of mandamus. Perhaps the supreme court of Missouri found that sufficient matters had been disre garded by the board to constitute fraud, and, hence, that legally no as sessment had been made. In such a case the writ was proper. Our court did not so find. It could not read the thoughts of Governor Savage, Treas urer Stuefer and Auditor Weston and know their secret bias in favor of the railroads, and in the court's judg ment the relators failed to prove that fraud had been committed. There was nothing to do but refuse the writ. But the refusal to grant the writ did not mean that the railroad assessment was high enough. The people, having elected these men to do this work, must suffer for their folly if it is done poorly. The ballot box is the forum where the tax question can be decided. York Precinct Bonds As suggested by the Democrat some time ago the good people of Lockridge township gave their treasurer author ity to correspond with the treasurers of all other townships with a view of coming to an understanding on the C. & O. bond question. This is a step in the right direction and we congratulate Lockridge on her prog ressiveness. WThen once the residents of the county arouse themselves to ac tion there will be a fair and square test made as to whether the county must submit to being robbed and the fact that the K. C. & O. has paid taxes like the Test of the railroads won't affect the matter to the slightest de gree. Dan T. Corcoran, in York Dem ocrat. The associate editor of The Inde pendent recently had an interesting conversation with Attorney Kirkpat rick of ork on this bond question. He says that no effort will be made to cancel the bonds, as they would un doubtedly turn up in the hands of an "innocent purchaser;" but he believes WHEN OTHERS FAIL CONSULT I.iSZ fZZS.

C. & O. corporation and the Q as well. The bonds were given in consideration of the building and operation of a com peting road; and now that the compe tition is a thing of the past because the road has been absorbed by and merged into the very system with which it was designed to compete, the consideration for the giving of the bonds has failed, and the precincts can bring an action to recover damages. The matter should be agitated thoroughly. Came Home to Roost . An Omaha correspondent comment ing on E. Rose water's bitter complaint in the Evening Bee of September 22, concerning the tactics of the Dave Mercer gang, suggests that "the filthy fowls have come back to roost on Rosewater's dunghill," and says: "Think of a man like E. Rosewater that joined the last presidential cor ruption of 1900 to carry Nebraska against Bryan, soliciting their corrup tion funds from eastern millionaires and trusts, joining in with Dave Mer cer, Senator Millard, Mark Hanna, John N. Baldwin, the Nebraska and western railroads, to transport non resident voters to vote for McKinley and the state ticket. And then see the gush and tears the little editor is shedding when those "filthy fowls" come back and roost on his own hen house. It is truly amusing." To Mr. Hardy I read in your column in The Inde pendent that the state government is neglecting to protect the laborers who want to work. You say if the state of Pennsylvania cannot do it. the federal government should use the standing army with guns loaded with bullets. Well, what good would that do if they did not use their guns? I think they ought to shoot every man that interferes with another. Shoot them anyhow, if they won't work that is what nature intended them for. They haven't brains enough to do anything but work; and if they refuse, shoot them down. They voted to make slaves of themselves and why should they not have what they voted for? I think slavery ought to be estab lished by law, for if things go on as they have been going of late, what will we poor rich people do? We will have to work ourselves to pay the workers somewhere near the value of their labor. That would never do. If we did that it would not be long un til we could not spend 20 to 50 thou sand dollars for a blow-out like some of our. friends in the east do, or take a trip to Europe every summer, or build yachts or fine palaces. All that would soon be a thing of the past. I just make these suggestions for your consideration. WILLIAM LAYTON. Wilcox, Neb. Kinkaid's Kink Editor Independent: Kinkaid, can didate for congress in this district on the republican ticket, told in his speech at Taylor, September 21, that Harring ton of O'Neill said in a speech that he was an expansionist. Also that Senator Allen wants to annex Cuba. All of which the good republicans took in as gospel. G. W. NEWBECKER. Sargent, Neb.

Hopkins has a communication ia the last issue of the Red Cloud Na tion relative to the stand taken by Senator Pitney and Representative Peisiger on the Ollis bill in the legisla ture of 1901 a freight rate measure. Inasmuch as both the democratic and the populist state platforms declare for a 15 per cent reduction in local freight rates on certain commodities, Mr. Hopkins' desire for a public state ment of how these gentlemen stand on the plank is not unreasonable. The people have a right to know. He says in conclusion: "I want Mr. Pitney and Mr. Peisiger and the float representative to public ly define how they stand on these matters after looking over what was done at the last session. If they have conviction, I can forgive, mistakes, but to cover mistakes by cunning I ab hor and so do nearly all who have any business to tm?m. The republican opponents to them are engaged, I learn, in business that railroads can annoy in many ways if they take an independent stand, but unless our re nominated brothers can show a bolder and more significant stand we can ex pect no relief as far as this section of the country is concerned. I should be h:ppy to see their signatures in print in he Nation, showing how they stand on this question for the future, but I hope they nor their friends will make a ihlanket of their record as it would . Cuttle Fish Tactics The latest effort of the tax-shirking railroads to make - the people forget about increasing railroad assessments and reducing freight rates, is an or ganization of republicans as an auxil liary to the anti-saloon league. A meeting was- held in the secretary of state's office Monday and a committee appointed to round up the prohibition ists for Mickey and at the same time to coerce the saloon men by threats of dire vengeance if .they do not also vote for him. Such staunch prohibitionists as Capt. L. W Billingsley, Elmer Stephenson, and.L. L. (Bud) Lindsey, are members of the committee. Unable to cope with the fusionists on the live questions at issue, these political cuttle fish adopt the usual method of escape. No state platform, except the prohibitionists', has a word to say about the. saloons. The liquor question is not a political one. There are more republican saloon men in Lincoln than there are democrats, and they will doubtless vote for Mickey without coercion: There are total ab stainers in all parties, but their votes cannot all be secured for Mickey be cause he doesn't drink, and especially through an organization of ex-saloon keepers, bartenders, and hard drink ers. It is ludicrous and ridiculous in the extreme for such men to appeal for the votes of abstainers. It is sim ply the old trick of uniting church and saloon and securing their combined vote for one man. But it will not work this year. Last year the liquor dealers' asso ciation openly pretended to support Hollenbeck and secretly joined hands with the anti-saloon league to elect Sedgwick. The 'procedure is exactly the same this year, except that the li quor dealers have said nothing. With Elmer Stephenson; the deputy revenue collector, appealing for the votes of ab stainers on the one hand, and on the other holding a club over the heads of every saloon man, it is simply folly to suppose that there is any concerted action pn the part of the saloon men to support Thompson. The whole plan is to stop the discus sion of tax reform and lower freight rates and get the people to talking about something that is not at issue. William H. Thompson's standing as a good citizen, as a man of sobriety and good morals, cannot for a moment be questioned. He is the peer of John H. Mickey on any of these questions. But no conference of railroad attorneys se lected him as "our man," and they are willing to do anything short of murder or arson to beat him. However, it can't be done this year with Billings ley, Stephenson and Lindsey as prohibitionists.

Maupin of The Commoner staff, who was nominated for state senator by the democrats and popul ists of Lancaster county a few weeks ago, is handing out a campaign card which deserves more than passing at tention. He says: They say there is no chance for democratic success in Lancaster county. There is always a chance for right to win." Under the head of "My Platform" he informs the people that "if elected to the state sen ate I will not waste time trying to re form the tariff; neither will I waste time trying to reform the currency. I will wait until I -am- elected to con gress before striving officially for these needed reforms. But if elected to the senate I will work and vote for revi sion of the state revenue laws to the end that the big corporations pay taxes in just proportion with the little home owners; enlargement and perfection of the initiative and referendum; liberal appropriations for state institutions based on economical management; an amendment to the federal constitu tion providing for the election' of sena tors by direct vote of the people; for equitable freight ' rates, and against freight pools and railroad mergers. "If elected I will do my best to rep resent the people. If defeated I will have the satisfaction of knowing that the voters had an opportunity to vote for a candidate who had no strings attached to him. I don't need a sena tor's salary half as much as Lancaster county needs good democrats and pop ulists in office." Morgan Offended Mr. John Ranch, 421 South 4th st. Camden, N. J., encloses two clippings from the Philadelphia Press, with the comment that "Bryan was nominated not to be elected, but to break up the people's party; anybody with an ounce of sense will see that. We in the east knew it for the last two years." One of the clippings is a Washing ton dispatch stating that J. Pierpont Morgan had said regarding President Roosevelt: "He must be defeated for renomina tion and a safe man must be nominated in his stead. If he cannot be defeated for -nomination then we must see that the democrats nominate a safe man like Cleveland, whom the business in terests can support and who can beat Roosevelt at the .polls." The Independent cannot agree with Mr. Ranch. Mr. .Bryan's nomination came as the result of the great growth of populist ideas among the rank and file of democracy. The party was com pelled to adopt part of these ideas in its platform or suffer great losses in its ranks. There is no doubt that the advanced step taken by the democratic party in 1896 cut off one great source of recruits for the people's party; but tne educational campaigns conducted since then will result In ten-fold more additions to the populist ranks If dem ocracy goes back to the idols of Cleve land, Judge Broad . Judge J .H. Broady, the fusion candi date for attorney general, retired from the district bench in January ,1892. At that time Judge Broady lived in Bea trice, and it was announced in De cember that he would remove to Lin coln to begin the practice of law. The Beatrice Express, a republican paper, in an issue printed during the month of December, 1891, paid to Judge Broady this high, and yet, as will be said by everyone who knows him well, entirely deserved tribute: "In his retirement to private life, Judge J. H. Broady takes with him the heartiest good will of those who know xx-m best. An able and impar tial judge, he held the confidence and esteem of the bar; a good citizen, he was honored by a wide circle of per sonal acquaintances. Judge Broady was a democrat,, but he was not a poli tician in the ordinary sense of that word. His personal views upon the subject were forcibly expressed in a speech made September 4 ,1890, at the laying of the corner stone of the Gage county cor t house, in the course of which he said: " 'It is a mistake to conclude that politics is the best route to greatness. Politicians and statesmen are the po licemen and night watchmen of the nation, standing guard over the citi zen over the decrepit as well as the strong, who are making advances in art and science and in all other de partments of knowledge. Greatness is in the individual rather than in his vocation. We are all builders. Each buii..ing a structure of his own called character. Each act is a stone, if car ried on well day by day, a.t the close it will be a work noble alike to God and man. The builders of these noble characters are the salt of the earth, and they abound in every vocation and in every land.' "It was because those who knew him have faith in the honesty of these declarations that had he been a can didate for re-election, he would have received, many vptes from men not members of the party with which he affiliates. The Express speaks for all its readers in Gage county when it says that the decision of Judge Broady to remove elsewhere to enter upon the practice of his profession will be sincerely regretted. His genial face will be missed by the thousands jn Beatrice and Gage county who class him as friend, and who sincerely cher ish that privilege." World-Herald. Feels Surprised . Editor Independent: I was some what surprised to read in your last week's paper on the editorial page un der the heading of "Sold Out For cash," as follows: "That the trusts are slowly buying up democratic cau cusses and conventions can be doubted no longer. The democracy of Massa chusetts has been sold as sheep in the shambles and the cash was paid in advance," and in closing you say: "This makes the fifteenth democratic state convention that has refused to indorse the Plansas City platform and gone over to plutocracy. The wisdom of maintaining the populist organiza tion is more apparent than ever." You give evidence, sir, of getting over some of your mullet-headedness, although it has taken the double dis tilled cussedness of fifteen democratic state conventions to arouse you from the somnambulistic condition into which the siren songs of the other half of the republican party, mis named democracy, had lurfed you. ou also quote from a Boston corre spondent as saying: "Republicans are already jeering the democrats for it, and it is evident that Gaston's nomi nation will mean a small democratic vote. Yet it looks as if the democratic leaders were preparing to advertise themselves as just such foolish man agers, and were deliberately taking a course they know will forfeit their claim to public confidence and strike the democracy a blow from which it cannot recover for years." This is in conformity with the dem ocratic party for the last thirty years, no man nominated by them except the stuffed prophet (and that was under stood between the two wings of the same body) did they desire or intend to be elected. When they were so closely crowded in 1876 they counted out the electors in a state absolutely democratic, and so ad infinitum. Last December I sent an article to The Independent in which I tried to show up the democratic party to our people (and I have no reference to Bryan or Bryanism). The editor, through what he calls mullet-headedness, consigned it to the waste basket. Fusion was the watchword then, but now the eyes of the editor seem to be opening and he thinks that the wis dom of maintaining the populist organ ization is more apparent than ever. Our party leaders and editors have become so enamored with democratic coquetry that really it seems foolish ness to keep up the two organizations, just to divide the spoils of office. The fact is, the populist party has about filled its days of usefulness. In the south they fused with the republi cans, hence the democrats would not join them in the north, and in the west they fused with the democrats, and so the republicans become afraid of them and have no more confidence in them than they do in the democrats, so as a national power we might just as well disband as to fuse with any party. Therefore, let our leaders go to the democratic party or wherever they will and let the party reorgan ize or go to the socialist party and fight the two wings of the same pluto cratic party. G. S. CURREY. Orleans, Neb. (It is Impossible for The Indepen dent to print all the letters it re ceives.
