TUERE1SOX,
Mr. L. G. Todd, one of tie most
active opponents of bonds i the county,
gives the only real valid reason for op.
posing bonds that -v have yet heard.
He does not go behind the bush, but
tells it openlr and above board that
the reason he epposes bonds is be
cause Ae does not want any railroad in
Nebraska. -He i opposed to inducing
immigration into the county, and says
he would not care to have a neighbor
closer than five miles. We are not sur
prised that, entertaining such seuti
menti.h should oppose bonds. We
believe his reasons, taken in connection
with his desires,, are perfectly valid,
and we shall desist from any endeavor
to induce him to vote for bonds.
JU. B. F. RAMSEY
Ia canvassing the county against the
issue of bonds to aid in the construc
tion of a railroad through Cass county.
He makes a heavy point on the tar.
question, and urges the people to vote
against these bonds because tbey will
all be taxed to death if the bonds car
ry. We had a little curiosity in know
ing just how heavy the burthen would
be upon this disciple of economy pro
vided the bonds did carry, so we con
suited the Treasurer's books and find
that Mr. B. F. Ramsey pays tax on
just $320. Now, supposing that the
entire tax for the bonds had to be col
lected from the present valuation of
Cass county, Mr. B. F. Ramsey would
pay the full sum of $3.20 per annum
for railroad purposes. But, bear in
mind that the railroad company will put
$2,000,000 of taxable property into the
county, which would reduce Mr. Ram
eey'a tax to $1-60 per annum for
railroad purposes. ' Then, again, as
we have already shown, tl e valua
tien'of the county will, in all probabil
ity, bs doubled within the first year af
ter building the railroad, thus mere as
ing the amount of taxable , property in
the county io S6.000.000; and then Mr.
B. F. Ramsey, opposer of bonds on the
ground of heavy taxation would be re
quired to pay the' ovrwhelming sum
of one dollar, sixdnT one fourth cents
per annum as tax. on railroad. bonds. -

aud is spending his time and money

ABE RAILROADS TAXABLE
The people of : Cass county have
been told by the ' opponents of bonds
that the properly . of railroads in thi
State was not "taxable, but that the
slock "only was taxable in the hands of
the owners, and that where the said
owners reside. To all '- who have
doubts on the subject, or who have been
misled by these representation;, we
would 'say consult the constitution of
your State; and there you will find all
corporations are compelled to pay tux
in fact we think the. old files cf the
Hzbax.d will chow where one of the
very men who is now crying that these
railroads cannot be taxed, took position
against the adoption of the constitution
for the reason that it did cot tax. all
property of corporations within the State
We refer the doubting party to Sec. 3,
title corporations, of the State consti
tution. - Further than this, and which
evidence cannot be disputed, we refer
them to the Treasurers office of every
, organized county through which the U
P. R. R. passes, where the records
show and the vaults attest the fct that
railroad companies da pay taxes on all
their property in this State that they
pay taxes not only to assist in paying
interest on bjads which they may hold
themselves but that they pay taxes to
keep up the county gorernrnent, to
keep up the school fund, the road fund,
the poor fund, and every other fund
that your property and ours psy tax for
This tale that Railroad property is not
taxable is just about, as reliable as
many others that are being circulated
for the purpose of defeating the issue
ef bonds.
1U lrli LdllJCll
OIF
We have just been handed a sircu
ar with the above heading, which
emanates from Nebraska City and was
printed at the Chronicle office. The
said circular is intended as nn argu
ment against the isssuo cf bocds in
this county, and endeavors to show
that the read will be built without any
such nid as is asked of this county.
D5 the people of Cass county need to
go into the bouse of their natural and
sworn enemies for council ? We sta
ted last week that "the power behind
the throne"1 against bonds was located
in Nebbaska City, and ice spoke ad
vuedly. Tiis ciicular is a proof of the
correctness sf that statement. Citizen
ot Uass county! we tell you again,
Otoe county is interested in having
bonds defeaed here. As proof of thi,
read her daily papers she expects to
get the B. &s Jl. Railroad if ice vote
doxen t.he bonds, hence the mighty ef
fort she is making to defeat them.
The circular mentioned is signed
"Many Citizens," and they shoul
have added the words "of Otoe coun
ty." We know whereof we peak io
thu matter, and we speak plainly- be
cause we feel deeply the necessity of
breaking the spell which the enemies
of thi? people have cast over them.
We kiow that Otoe county is to day
endeavoring and expecting to secure
the B. & M. Road at Nebraska City.
THE ROUTE
We hear from different portions of
the county that men intend voting
againsr bonds next Saturday because
thy don't know where the railroad is
coin? to run. It seems to us that this
isthe most ridiculous position we have
yet heard of. Some people along the
Platte oppose the bonds because they
think the road will pass thro' the south'n
er central portian of the county, some
of them along the southern line base
their opposition on the ground that the
road will go through the centre of the
county or along the Platte, and resi
dents of the central portion of the
county oppose the whole scheme be
came of an undefined fear that the
road will traverse tne northern or
southern portion of the co-jnty and wi'l
miss the centre. Was ever more sil
ly propositions taken by intelligent
people? Whether or not the bond
question is successful, and whether or
not the road is built at all, we fully be
lieve that persons who oppose the
bonds for the above reasons will be
heartily ashamed of themselves inside
of eighteen month from this date, a.id
each individual will declare that his
opposition was based upon something
else. As we have stated upon several
occasions, it is a mystery 'o us how any
person with such a "narrow track"
mind could ever become the owner of
real estate unless it was willed to them
by some relative of more enlarged
views. We respect any man's oppo
sition to issuing bonds when he bases
it upon some reasonable objection, but
have no patience to talk to a man
whose mind is not large enough to ex
pand over a county the eize cf Cass.
and whose mcst expansive ideas do not
reach beyond his own calf pasture.
We believe the building of the rail
road through Cas county would be a
great benefit to the entire county, not
withstanding some portions would prob
ably be benefited to a greater degree
than others. Should the road go thro'
the central portion - of the county, it
would certainly be better for the people
of all portions than to have no road at
all, and the tame if. it should go on
either ride. Let us all act like intelli
gent men next Saturday, and vote that
we will have a road somewhere through
thecounty, and then let the different lo
caliiies fight to see where that some
where shall be. Every man has his
preference as to where the road shall
run, and he would be doing injustice to
himself if he did not make all the ef
fort he can to secure it on the route of
his choice; but we would ask, in all can
dor, is opposition to rendering aid to
the company a very good plan to induce
the company to your point or through
your locality. Railroad companies are
composed of men, and are subject to
the same influences and arguments
that individuals are. If some individ
ual were seeking a point at which to
open some large manufacturing or oth
er business that would greatly benefit
the entire country and especially the
immediate locality, would you expect to
induce such individual to locate in your
vicinity by opposing with all your pow
er any aid to the enterprise ? . We be
lieve Ca3s county tried this kind of ar
gurnet on Majors, Russell & Woddell,
when that firm was looking for a point
from which to start their immense'gov
ernmcnt trains which were the very
life of Otoe county for several years,
also upon Mr C. F. Hendrie & Co.,
when those gentlemen were seeking a
poitit at which to locate their foundry
which has been of such signal benefit
to Council Bluffs and vicinity. Do
they now desire lo drive from their
midst the greatest enterprise - which
they can ever hope to secure, merely
because the occupant of each and every
quarter section in the county cannot be
assured that the road will pass imme
diately by his premises. Is there a
ninn in the county who does not to day
know that the establishment of Majors,
Russell & Woddells headquarters, or
Hendrie's Foundry, even at Platts-
mouth, would have benefited the entire
couniy? How much more then, will
the B. & M. R. R. benefit the county,
no matter wbere it may leave the river
in the couniy or what route it may take
so it prsses through the length of the
county westward, as it must if it gets
aid under the DroDosed plan. We beg
A a
the voters of Cass county to look well
to what they are about, and ask. them
to be careful that they do not drive
from them probubly the last great ben
efit that will be offered them.'
HOW MUCH
I)n those persona who have a chron
ic dread of being taxed to death ever
set down and figure for themselves, or
do they blindly accept the logic of the
man who can tell them the worst story
of'taxation. Let us make a few fig
tires together, and see how long we
could endure the hardship of having a
Railroad in Cass county and how much
oar taxes would be increased in conse
quence of giving aid to the road.
Now if we vote bonds and the road i
built, we will Lave $20,000 iuterest to
pay annually. How much will this in
creas our taxes is the all absorbing
question.. We how have S2.000.000
wcrth of taxable property in the coun
ty; consequently it would take exactly
one per cent, tax on the present prop
erty of the county to pay the interes
(10 per cent.) on the $200,000 in
bonds. This would be exactly one do
lir tax on every 8100 worth of prop
erty as assessed, or $10 tax on every
$1,000 worth of f roperty, atd the man
whose property is put down by the as
seisor at S1U.UUU would have to pay
exactly $100. This calculation
based on the assessed valuation; and i
further based on the supposition that
the present property of Cass com'.y
would have the entire tax to pay.
Even this exhibit is not
to
frightful aseome of the opponents o
bonds endavor to make it appear.
We believe any man in Cass county
who is worth $10,000 worth of proper
ty as assessed (probably in
reality) would make mouey by paying
3100 a year for the benefits he could
derive from having a railroad through
the county eren though it di J cot pass
door. We believe any farmer who is
valued by the assessor at the above fii
ure could sell his produce for an in
crease of more than three times
his tax. over and above what it
w:u!d bring wiihoui a railroad
Ld us look a Utile further. If we vote
these bonds the Railroad Company
will, withiu eighteen monthj, place
$2,000,000 worth more of taxable prop
erty in our county ,in the hapa of road
bed, iron, rolling stock, buildings, etc.
This gives 81,000,000 worth of prop
erty, or just double what we now have;
consequently the rate of taxation is re
duced just one half or in other words,
the man whose property Is assessed at
Si ,000 will only have to pay S5 00 in
stead of $10.00, and the man whose
property is assessed at SlO.OOO will
only have to pay S50.00 instead of
$100. This is all calculated, so far,
as an increased amount of tax in con
sequence of having a railroad, and no
allowance made for any increased
amount of property in tho county ex
cept just what the R. R. Co. actually
puts down. Now, if we go still fur
ther, and make a reasonable estimate,
based on the experience of other local
ities, we can very easily show that the
increase in the amount of taxable prop
erty, aside from that of the Railroad
Company, would not be less than $2,-
000.000 per year. We have but few
actual statistics to show what railroads
da for the west: but the official fisures
m
from Dodge county show that the as
sessed valuation of that county, aside
from the Railroad property, more than
doubled the first year after the road was
built, and nearly quadrupled in the first
two yeats. Suppose such were the re
sult in Cass county, it would give us,
including the taxable propejty of the
raiIro8d.no less than $6,000,000 worth
of taxable property the first year after
the building of the road(and the Com
picy agrees to build it inside of eigh
teen months if we vote the bonds) and
a proportionable increase each year
thereafter. Bear in mind, now, that
a'l this increased amount of property
is taxable for all the different purposes
for which we pay tax, as well as for
interest on the a bonds. Is it not per
fectly plain that, instead of our per
cent of lax being increased it will be
stiy decrease alter tne nrsi year.
S -B S
Ut course every man unaersianus mat
we will have $200,000 more tax to pay,
but we will have, instead of $2,000,-
000 worth of taxable property, not less
$6,000,000 the first year, and a con
stant increase in property every year,
upon which to levy this tax. If we
pay $20,000 tax on $2,000,000 worth
of property, is it- not perfectly plain
that our taxes will be lighter when we
have $6,000,000 worth of property and
have to pay $40,000 tax. Figures
wont lie. Figure this tax question out
for yourself aud see how much the in
crease per cent, is likely to be.
' , THE REASON
"Chas. F. Hendrie told the editor of
this paper that one of the principal
reasons why he did not establish his
foundry in this city was because he did
not wish to locate among a set of pea
pie who were not inclined to help
themselves when an opportunity was
offered. Mr. Hendrie asked certain
donations, and the people refused to
give them for the reason (as they then
expressed it) that Mr. Hendrie would
locate here without such donations, as
it was his interest and intention so to do
Mr. Hendrie was predisposed in favor
of a location here, but concluded that a
people who were afraid to expend a
few hundred dollars to secure the loca
lion of so greut an enterprise would
not be very likely to be a good class
to make bis business a . paying one
He, therefore, notwithstanding his first
inclination to locate among the people
of Cass conc'uded to go where the peo
rile acDreciated the benefits or enter
e mm
prise. He lecated at Council L luffs
and tho people of that city will tell you
to-day that the location of Hendrie's
Foundry has been worth thousands
upon thousands of dollars to Potta
watamie county. We do not speak of
these matters now. for the purposs .of
finding any fault with the people of
Cass county fcr what they have done
but merely to show them that neither
individuals or corporations like to in
vest their money among people who
are so penurious, or whose ideas of
ecoooiny are of that type which oppose
extending aid to a public enterpaise
because ihey think they are certain to
get it without such aid. Will the peo
p!e cf Cnss profit by trita experience,
or will they still put a Hone in o:;e end
of the bag when th-y go to mill. Can
tLev see wherein Mai'rs. Russell St
j
Woddtll or C. F. Htiidrie nrght have
been of general benefit to Cass couniy
aod wherein they might hive added to
the ge: eral wealth of the county?
Can they &ee where-n the B. St M. R
R. may be of general benefit and rJJ
to the general wealth of the county ?
Consider well your action, that you
may no! have cause to regel it hereaf
ter, us we have heard many do in re
lation to Majors, Russell Si Woddell,
and C. F. Hendrie St Co. Do not
drive the B. St'M. R. R. into the arms
cf your enemies because you may
chance to think that company desire to
build a road in this county. Do not
act foolish next Saturday and regrewit
ever afterward.
THE TAX
This matter of "taxation" has been
a nightmare to the people ever since
government and taxation has existed,
and will probably continue to be while
government exists. Parties are now
riding over Cass ccumy shouting
"taxes" into the ear of every man of
thecounty. Tbey appear to under
stand, by intuition, that in the absence
of argument this is. the most effective
thing they can do. They tell a man
that, if we issue $200,000 in bonds,
the taxes of the county.will bo doubled,
but they do not tell him that we will
have three, four or five times the
amount of taxable property upon which
to levy this tax. We-would aslc any
intelligent man to honestly answer
this question. What is the difference
to the tax payer whether Cass county
collects : $20,000 tax from $200,000
worth of property, or whether, she col
lects $40,000 tax from Si.OOO.OCO
worth of property. We now have on
ly $2,000,000 worth of taxable proper
ty in Cass county, and the railroad
company propose putting another $2.
000,000 worth in our county within 13
months if wa will donate, them $200,
000 in bonds. If we vote these bonds
and the road is built (the bonds will
not be issued unless the road is built)
we will certainly have the interest to
pay. liut insteaa or oniy uaving
000,000 worth of propeity from which
to raise that interest, we will have an
other $2,000,000 worth added by the
company direct, and whatever increase
will be brought to the county in conse
quence of the road, which cannot be a
very small matter we leave that
amount for each individual to fix in ac
cordance with his own judgement.
As'de from this, wewill then have the
railroad property to tax not only to pay
interest on tha bonds, but it will be
taxed for every other purpose for
which we now pay taxes, and will ma
terially lighten our taxes in this res
pecU It will take ua mote to pay the
expenses of maintaining the. county
government with $6,000,000 of taxable
property than it does now with only
$2,000,000 worth; but we will have
three times the amount of property
from which to raise the amount; hence
our tax, for this purpose, would only be
one-third as much as at present. We
feel perfectly safe in saying that, with
a railroad through Cass county and the
interest $2,000,000 in bonds to pay
annually, our taxes would not be as
heavy in proportion to the amount of
taxable property as they are to-day.
We cancot think there is a mind in
Cass county so obtuse as to be unable
to comprehend that tberate of taxation
would be no higher with $10,000 tax
levied upon $4,000,000 worth ef prop
erty than it would be with $20,000
tax levied upon $2,000,000 of proper
ty. Do not be deceived or mislead
by this frightful cryjjf "taxation," tut
set down and figure the matter out for
yourselves. Don't you suppose there
is more tax money paid into the county
treasury at Chicago than there is at
Plattsmouth? But is that any argu
ment that taxes are more burthen?ome
in Chicago than they are here? or
that a farm within ten miles of Plant
mouth is worth more than a farm of
the same number of acres is within ten
miles of Chicago. We doubt not the
farm here would raise the most wheat
or corn, but we hardly think the owner
of the Cass county farm would refuse
nn even exchange, even if it doe3 re
quire more tax money in the aggre
gafe at Chicago than here.
