Says Warehouse Law Is Valid.
By unanimous vote Railway Com
missioners H. T. Clarke, T. L, Hall
nnd H. G. Taylor havo decided not to
follow tho opinion of Attorney Gen
eral Willis E. Reed, which held that
tho commission could not bo em
powered by the legislature to enforco
tho grain warqhouse law, his belief
being that the commission Is con
fined to the regulation and control
of common cnrrlers.
In lieu of the nttorney general's
opinion the commission adopted ono
prepared by Judge W. G. Hastings,
dean of the state university law col
lege, which holds that there Is no
constitutional Inhibition against tho
legislature imposing additional duties
upon tho state railway commission,
nnd that the commission should en
force 'the law.
The commission decided to do this
ns best it can, without calling
upon other state officers to assist
them. Attorney Gonernl Reed bad
suggested that If tho commission
would call In other Btate ofllccrs,
whose positions wero Included In the
list of state ofllccrs created when tho
stntc constitution was adopted, in
cluding his own ofllec, tho commission
might make its acts legal.
Assessment Roll Is Higher.
Nebraska's assessment roll this year
shows a net Increase of $10,105,129
over 1914, according to complete fig

corrections. Tho tQtal valuation ofi
nil property for assessment (one-fifth
of actual value) Is $4S0,795,543, as
compared with $470,090,414 a year ago.
Eighty-four counties havo increased
tholr assessment by $10,057,447 over
their 1914 valuations. Nino havo fal
len off a total of $552,31S. This leaves
tho net Increnso for tho state still

on account of tho new law which for

Reduced State Tax Levy
In view of an Increase of nearly
$10,000,000 assessed value of property
subject to taxation in Nebraska tho
stato board of assessment has de
cided to reduce tho levy for stato
taxes one mill. Last year the total
lovy for stato purposes was 7.8 mills.
This year it will be 6.8 mills. The gen
eral fund levy of 5 mills was reduced
to 4.1 mills and tho state aid bridge
levy which the law says shall bo of
two-tenths of ono mill was reduced to
one-tenth of one mill. No change was
attempted in tho matter of tho stat
utory levy of one mill for tho support
of the university, three-quarters of
one mill for the university special
building fund or .85 mill lovy for the
support of the Btate normal schools.
May Have to Close Down.
That the food commission with all
of Its allied activities, save tho stock
food and weights and measures in
spection, may have to close down If
Stato Treasurer Hall does not recede
from his attitude of refusing to pay
its bills on tho grotjd that tho legis
lature made no appropriation, Is the
view taken by serious minded stato
officials. There aro but two ways by
which tho move can bo circumvented.
Either by fighting a enso through the
supremo court or by tho food com
mission devoting tho fees to ubo In
stead of firBt turning them Into the

Notwithstanding tho fact that the

In a statement issued by Frank I.

000 was spent for raw material. Tho
balance of $50,000,000 wns added to
