To tho Officers and tho Members .of
tho Nebraska Stato Press Abbo
clatlon: Ladles and Gentlemen: Your com
mittee appointed at tho last State
Convention, held In Omaha, Juno,
1913, to Investigate and report up
on the subject of taxation in Nebras
ka, begs leave to submit the follow
ing in compliance therewith:
In tho first instance, this committee
desires to extend to the editors of this
Btato Its heartfelt thanks for their
ready assistance nsked by tho com
mittee. In order the better to ascer
tain genoral public Bentlment, tho
oommlttco drafted a 'form of ballot
stating certain propositions In tax
reform and asked tho readers of Ne
braska papers to voto thereon. Tho
editors of the state, to tho number of
about ono hundred and fifty, kindly
inserted in their papers a stereotype
plate of tho ballot, and some others
eet up the form In their own estab
lishments, publishing tho same In
their papers. A copy of the ballot to
which reference 1b made Is hereto at
tached and made a part hereof.
Tho most conspicuous result of tho
voto cast Is the demonstration mado
that tho present revenue system of
Nebraska has few If any Intelligent
dofondcrs anywhore within tho state.
Our rovenuo statutes, published In a
book of more thnn 120 pages, are a
most pitiable Jumble of idiocies, tho
strict enforcement of which would
crush out of existence every vestige
of enterprise in tho Stato of Nebras
ka, except that of tho foreclosing of
mortzaces and tho business that
grows out of sheriff's sales. Were it
possible strictly to enforce these
rovenuo laws, tho people would fleo
tho Btato as from a pestllonco, and Its
prosperity would bo doomed. There
fore, while it Is generally dangerous
to allow public officials any discre
tion In tho execution of tho law, still
the people of this stato owe to their
tax officials a certain debt of grati
tude for their non-enforcement, even
were tho enforcement of these rev
enue laws possible.
There Is today before tho people of
this state an amendment to our con
stitution which would, if adopted, en
able tho legislature, which under our
initiative and referendum laws, In
cludes the people, to remedy tho de
fects of our revenue system. The re
sult of the voting upon tlio question
mentioned was to record a very largo
majority of the newspaper readers of
the state in favor of that amendment.
Even those who voted against It evi
dently did so through a misapprehen
sion of Its purport. This Is proved
by the fact that Invariably these
same readers who rejected by their
ballots this amendment, made sugges
tions of changes in our revenue sys
tem, every one of which would be Im
possible unless this amendment is
carried next November. Apparently
their opposition Is leBs to the amend
ment than it Ib to the legislature.
They fear the cxorlclse by the legis
lature of any larger power. Yet this
fear Is groundless, especially In view
of the fact that in Nebraska, thanks
to the initiative and referendum, the
legislature moans or Includes "tho
people."
The main object of tho ballot was
for the committee to find out If, in
the average reader's mind, there was
any Idea that the State ought not to
tax those things that tho people de
sired and ought to have, or thlngB
that could hide or run away, or that
could and would come Into the State,
To tho question as to whether the
reader favored the taxing of farm Im
plements, stock or other products of
the farm, the vote showea aoout an
equal division of opinion, as it also
showed an equal division of opinion as
to the taxation of personal property.
Yet an amuBing feature of the ballot
ing was the reasonable unanimity of
opinion among certain farmers that
farm Implements and products shou'd
not be taxed, though they voted "yes"
to tho question as to whether manu
facturing machinery and merchants'
goods ought to be taxed. Overlook
ing entirely the disposition to tax the
city and town producer whllo allow
ing the farm producer to escape, those'
readors failed to see that when they
vote to tax tho manufacturer or the
merchant they only vote to tax them
selves, since the tax is Invariably
added to the price of tho goods- pro
dnced and shifted onto tho farmer
and all other consumers of the goods.
Such taxes are never paid by the per
son upon whom they arfl levied.
Tho present constitution of the
state, evidently with the idea' of en
couraging 'the planting of trees, con
tains this provision: "The legislature
of all kinds in this state. If It was
tho Intention of tho framers of tho
constitution to encourage troo plant
ing, this section should have enabled
the loijIMaturo directly to exempt
from taxation all treeB, and not mere
ly stated that tho increased valuo of
tho land due to that fact should not
be assessed. This, for tho simple
reason that the exact amount of in
crease in tlio valuo of tho land duo
to tho planting or cultivation of trees
could never bo nsceralned with any
degree of accuracy. Howover, tho
voto showed about 85 per cent, of the
readers voting to bo in favor of tho
exemption from taxation of all trees.
This bIiowb that In tho minds oi
those readers thero 1b a comprehen
sion ot the Idea that to tax treos will
tend to the elimination of them,
either b cutting down or neglecting
them, and discouraging their plant
ing and cultivation In tho lirst In
stance. Tho converse of this Ib also
perceived by theto readers in recog
nizing tho fact that to exempt from
taxation all trees would encourage the
planting or cultlvnllon of treos in this
formerly treeless stato.
it is a fact deserving of notlco that
though tho Constitution directs that
tho valuo of land by reason of troea
may bo exempted, tho law passod by
the legislature presuming to carry out
thl3 nrovlbion. exempts only forest
trees. Why this apparent discrimina
tion in favor of timber lands, which
largely require no attention, as
against tho fruit orchards, which re
qulro largo expenditures and tho con
stant attention of tho fruit growers,
and tho products of whloh come more
directly Into touch with tho consumers
of the State?
Lot it be observed hero that if to
exempt trees from taxation will tend
to produce orchards and timber lands,
why will not the exemption of In
dustry of all kinds from taxation en
courage tho oslnullshmont of Indus
tries of all kinds In this Stato?
There was also about 85 per cent.
of tho voto cast Jn favor of State in-
conio and lnhetUanco taxes.
Tho question of taxing tho market
value of franchises secured the high
est alTirr.iatlve vote of any question
on the ballot. It waB almost unanlm-
Thero might be Borne of tho
Isubject to rovlsion by the commission.
Thoro should bo elected' In every
county an assessor for such county,
with power to appoint his own depu
ties. Ho should bo ex-ofilcto n mem

Thoro should also bo chosen In each
community a local assessor whoso
Jurisdiction should be within sucii com
munity only. Tho County Assessors
result only ft out his individual er.ier
pilsni while this Increased value
comes to this land not only independ
ent, but In spite of what tho owners
have done. That Is tho manner In
which the present rovenuo laws of
this Stato rewatd those who aro In
dolont and punish those who uro
thrifty.
Sixth. Thero should bo a provi

City of Omaha It .will bo found that
tho highest valued lots uvorago for
assessment nbout fifty per cent of
their market valuo, while tho avorago
homo owner's land Is assessed noaror
to 75 per cent, of such vnluo.
Seventh. Mnny people do not
reallzo tho absurdity ot the law ro
quiring that taxes shall bo levied up
on only one-llfth of the nssesred val
uation. This law waB framed nnrt
passed at tho behest of the railroads,
and tho only honest excuse. If such
enn be considered honest, wns that by
this process tho taxing authorities
would bo limited In ' tho amount of
taxes Raised. In actual practice tho
taxing authorities can raise only suf
ficient revenue to administer econo
mic government, and if they dare go
boyond this tho people will check
thorn. Tho result of thlB law Is to
Bhow high lovies for taxation, which
glvo tho stato an unfair standing In
tho other sections of tho country,
whoru It Is not understood that tho
levy Is only upon ouo-flfth of tho as
sessed valuation. Your commlttco
would, therefore, recommend that this
law bo repealed and that lovies bo
mado upon tho actual assessed valua
tion, cutting downline levy.
Eighth. All peisonal proporty taxes
should bo repealed. They aro unJtiBt
In their very nature They comp'el
tax commission should, howovor, bo
subject to review and further adjust
ment, whoreever necessnry, by tho
Stato Tax commission.
Third. When tho law makes cer
tain exemptions from taxation, as of
churches, schools and the like, It
should not leavo Bitch matters In tho
handB of local asBCBBors. Assessors
aro not tho proper persons to decide
matters of law. Such Bhould ho for
tho courts to determine. Therefore
all assessors should bo required to
mnkn nRsnssinont of all property or
any class taxablo under the law
Church property, schools not owneu
bv tho stato or municipality, hospitals
and all similar institutions possessing
kinds of proporty taxable under tlio
law, Bhould bo llBtod for taxation by
tho assessor. After such listing, the
parties directly concerned, tooling
they might bo exempt from taxation
under tho law. Bhould apply to tho
courts of proper jurisdiction for an
order for such exomptlons.
(Parenthetically, it might bo re
marked that it Is tho Judgment oi
your committee that tho constitution
al provision allowing exemptions of
such nronortles. has been grossly
abused when exemptions havo been
allowed to commercial schools and
hospitals privately owned for private
profit There aro many tnousanuB oi
dollars' of such properties In this
State that havo escaped taxation, not
withstanding tho fact that these in
Btltutlons aro privatoly owned and
controlled and conducted for the pri
vate profit of tho owners.)

shall "bo ascertained in such manner peopio to commu perjury, aim uiuy

this
Blderable degree of Justice In the Idea
that the franchises of public service
corporations should be taxed. For
the franchise usually constitutes the
most valuable part of the assests of
these public utility corporations. The
franchise is practically never taxed
at present. The Justice of taxing
these franchises is in the fact that
they constitute a natural monopoly
granted by the people to the corpora
tion, and are not in any sense the re
sult of tho offortB of the corporation
Itself. It the state were to exempt
the tangible property of these cor
porations end tax only tho land val
ues and tho franchises, It would at
once be seen tnat tneso properties
would bo greatly improved and In
creased, while the rates for their ser
vices would bo reduced.
This question of taxation, like most
public questions, proves how the peo
ple in general may be opposed, and
vigorously opposed, to the present
system, and yet utterly unable to bub-
gest a remedy. It Is because of this
general Ignorance of tho question of
taxation that Privilege Is able to
"put across" so many unfair Jobs up
on tno people. Ana mo piuaoie
thing of It Ib that the people them
selves are misled Into the support of
these oppressive measures.
Naturally, then, it followed that in
response- to the question upon the bal
lot as to the source from which rev
enue should be derived, only about
halt ot those voting suggested any
remedies at all. Howover, of the
total who did make suggestions of a
remedy, about 75 per cent, either sole
ly or in connection with other IdeaB,
mentioned the valuo of land as the
proper source from which revenue
should bo derived. j
An overwhelming number of those
voting supported the idea that the
matter of local taxation should be left
In the hands of tho counties or cities
directly interested. Local Control of
taxation is ono ot the progressive
Ideas of our time, and soon or late
must? be conceded to every commun
ity of the state.
Your committee is disposed to pro
pose to tho editors ot tho State some
suggestions in the line of progressive
reform in matters of taxation.
First. Thero should be every sup
port given to the amendment to our
Constitution to be voted upon In No-
as tho legislature may direct," it
would appear, that the courtB havo ar
bitrarily ruled to Inhibit the legislat
ure from using any discretion. It this
general property tax which, largely,
tno peo
ple, was Intended to effect an equal
ization of the burden or taxation, u
has miserably failed. For instance,
household eoods used in a private
dwelling cannot be said to be of equal
valuo for DurooseB of taxation as such
goods used for hotel purposes, out of
which a profit Is gained. Tno same
Is true of all other tntngs pnvaieiy
used, such aa personal effects oi
every nature, under tno taw, me
clothing upon your backs Ib supposed
to be taxed on t same basts as tne
clothes in the stores. Tho one has
reached its final consumer, while the
other Is for Bale at a profit. There
fore, even under the present anti
quated and clumsy Constitution, In
spite of the Judgment ot courtB, tho
legislature ought to be empowered,
and it is bo empowered, to use some
discrimination in this matter.
Fifth. The statute providing that
lands should bo assessed every four
years, while other properties are as
sessed every year, should bo repeal
ed. If our Constitution Intends what
it says about equality of taxation, this
punish those who attempt to bo hon
est. Furthermore thoy aro utterly
Impracticable. No assessor can
como any way noar estimating tho
valuo of personal effects ot the rich,
while he may approximate the valuo
of tho personal effects of the average
person. This operates to compel
those who aro least ablo, to pay a
hlither percentage of taxes than do
those who are better able. Further
more, If the cost ot assessing and
collecting such taxes were carefully
considered, it would be found that tho
cost about equals tno amount or taxes
from this source. One of our leading
county assessors recently stated that
if he were to attompt a strict en
forcement of the personal property
tax law of this Stato, ho would be as
sassinated within two weeks. What
can be said in defense of a law thai
Is utterly impossible of enforcement,
and if it could bo enforced would
ubout destroy tho enterprise of tho
Stato? Tho fact is, severe as tho
statement may seem, that much of
tho prosperity of this State is due to
the fact that, Judged by tho standard
of honesty enforced by our tax laws,
nine out of every ten ot our peopio
aro liars and willful perjurors.
Ninth. As a step in tho line ot
progressive legislation, the Stato

Remarkably beautiful effects aro so

by a new process which has been de
vised by.nn engineer of Hamburg, W.
Englo. Ho baa succeeded In making
plates of marble no moro than threo
millimetres In thickness and for the
uso designated it is avallablo up to
20 millimeters thick. Tho suitability
of marblo for this purposo waB real

encountered wns that of securing tho

Theso plates permit of tho passago of
a greater amount ot light than frosted

parts to the rayB a much plcasanter

light an undesirable greenlBh tinge,
whllo the light which passes through
the marble has a reddish violet which
is much pleasanter. After the marble
hasbeen ground down to tho desired

the effects secured in this manner are
said to be superior to those ox stained

of large land holders and against en

consider this single Instance In tho
city of Omaha. Thero Is at the cor
ner of Sixteenth and Farnam streets
a slnglo lot, valued by its owners . at
$600,000. At the assessment of 1908
this lot was assessed at $132,000. At
the next quadrennial in 1912, the as
sessor raised this figure to double
that amount or $264,000, which was
said to be the Increase, in valuo dur

$400,000.
Let ub be conservative. Let us con
sider tho figures of tho assessor only.
In 1908 tho value ot this lot, not
counting the improvements, was
$132,000. In the following four years
It had Increased to $264,000. This
