It is generally conceeded Uta Parker has no show for electiOl but what of Watson ? Does UII enthusiastic populist realize tha Watson will not carn' . a singll electorial vote in the .union ? The present prospects for hig1 prices for the products of th farm is something unusal for presidential year. It not enl , ' spciaks volumes for the republic administration but likewise it dicates the confidence of t11 people in the continuation of republican administration. Here is a quotation from t1 : , Beacon of last week : " 'l'he railroads within tI sh.te succeeded in having the valuations lowered about 30 pi cent , while , the farms were deut ed in value. " A statement of that kind face of the fact that the railroal of the state were valued at ninet five million dollars more th : formerly and that they wcre " sessed for ninteen millions mo how how little regard the Be con has for its reputation f truth 'and varacity. 'j'he Dencon'lI Scrcet1. 'rhe 'Beacon gave its read4 last week a double column leaded campaign material quoj tions from Othe i Telegraph Friend , Neb. It states that 1 Telegraph is a staunch repul calt paper. 'rhe facts are 1 editor of the Telegraph is al Umrg but a staunch republh d has no standing as a repul c'n and no influence where b known : , His tirade against revenue law and Gov. 1\liekeJ the silliest rot and will have weighl with those who read ; think for themselves. T there will be many instal' where valuations have been creased comes as a matter of ! where an honest assessment been made. 'l'he object of law is to eq\\alize taxes. T cQuld not be done unless in Sl cases the valuation was ra and in other cases lowered. . The unvsersal demand of people was for an equalizatio taxes. The new revenue meets the demand.

'l'he best horses were valued at $100 , and assessed for $20. If a farm is worth $25 an acre it was so valued - ed and assessed at one fifth of its I value. Another farm worth not more $10.00 an acre has been valued at $10.00 aud assesed at $2,00. 'l'he same policy prevails . throughout the county and state. 'rhe new law made it possible to raise the assessed valuation of the railroads of the state of 10 per cent , while theincreasein : the valuation of the land and personal - al property of Custer county was only raised about 25 per cent. 'l'he valuation of all property was partl.y increa ! ed but the levy of the county and state were decreased - creased six mills or nearly 33 per cent. 'rhe decrease in the levies is eight per cent less than the increase in the valuation. But the great gain is the equalization. Many cases where the personal tax is higher this ycar than last it is due from increased prop rty. 'l'here are other instances where a man's personal tax is less because - cause he had disposed of a lot of his personal property and paid his debts or invested in additiou- alland. But in each iudividual case justice has prevailed. In some cases one had been paying too much while in othcr cases another had not borne his proportionate share. 'rhe new reuenue law JS constructed so as to adjust suh : cases.Ve here append a comparative statement of the railroad taxes in Custel county for 1903 and 1904 , whicb shows where the increased valua. tion comes in : 1903. 1904.

" - My attention has been called "The Coal to a circular hcaded Oil Scandal , " which is being circulated - culated over the state by enemies of mine and in the interests of another candidate for the govern- or-ship. One , J. E. Hays , Ex- Chief Oil Inspector , furni\hes ! ' , the ammunation for this circular and the basis for the numerous infereuces derogatory to me. Knowing that all fair minded people want to know the facts before - fore passing judgment I submit the followiug statemeut : 'l'he new law raising the test of illummating oil from 100 to 112 degrees became elIective April 10 , 1903. J. E. lIaycs was chief oil inspector - specter at that time. It is a generally accepted that when a new law is passed elIect- ing goods in transit a reasonable time should be given the shipper in which to conform his ship. ments to the new order. . Mr. Hays recognized this pri nci pIe. It was not until April 14 , four days after the law went intc effect , that Mr. Hays notified the Standard Oil Company of the , higher test required , showin that he was in no particulal hurry to erve notice. As late as April 27 , more thaI . two weeks after the law went in to effect , he passed a car of oi that 'tested ' but 108 degree , an' ' between April 10 and April 2 he passed no less than thirtee - cars of oil that fell from two t nine degrees below the new tes Mr. Hays did tIus on his ow motion , in recognition of the fae that the oil wa's in transit at tl time the new law went into e feet and that it would be an u warranted hardship on the shi ' _ pers to compel them to rec ; "g said oil. , A few days prior to Apr-l : IY I don't know the exact date , fo cars more of oil were received Nebraska from the Standard ( a Company which did not qu It1 come up to the new test. er Mr. Havs . drew the line on thl ; " 't . and refused to pass them. de 'l'hey tested from 107 to 1 g seven to ten degrees higher th he the old law required. Mr. Ruth , the agent of 1 Standard Oil Company , calC lC- down from Omaha to see abe he the matter. ty On April 29 , he and Mr. H : came into my office to talk it 0\ m Mr. Ruth admitted that ng had received Mr. Hays' letter laS Apri114 , notifying him of ? In- raise of the test. He said notified the company in Chici e by letter , and they in turn nc ; er , fied the refinery at Whiti II. Indiana. This process of. no' ' oucction of course consumed a li ' tim . 'l'he last of these fourc 'ew and was billed from Whiting , ply April 21. By inquiring into facts I learned that at 'Vhit the Company has miles of t : : ing .on wluetl it constantly kt : was hundred of cars of oil 10iJ ! 1ed and ready for shipment. trty Ruth positively assured me 1 ' the four cars in question had l't l' . la t , the refinery before the nc par- that was received and were either ! Iere tually in transit or were stanc 19ht on the siding , ready to b pl.l out. A careful consideratim here Ige- all the facts involved led mc : om- believe that Mr. Ruth was saping the circumstances as ! l lr were and Mr. Hays had not elusive evidence to the cent ] t was In fact Mr. Hays' own act ! xtra passing numerous cars of oi Ll-40 to April 27 , tor the reason ! ready stated , were directl 1 b' line with my own action in 0 t n . ing tha\ \ these four cars be ed. Mr. Hays delayed the 0 rdict tion of the law from April 1 jury. April 27. I simply delayed operation for two days l ( . . . . .ame and for exactly the same rea I. m. go run While I could have ordere extra four cars out of the state it ! railed to me that such a course , ; der ll the c\unstances \ , , i- be httle and narrow. It s1 Itox - was be remembered that the fou : ) . " t sted from seven to ten de . , . " . ' . . . . . . . . . . - - . . . ' - I above the olc1tegt n'nd were but slightl. } ' under the new. I was prompted by no consideration for the Standard Oil Company as a . company , but only by a sense of fairness. It cannot be argued that the rejection or the passing of these cars would make any particular difference to the Com- pany. It was simply a question of equity , as I viewed it , and I acted accordingly. Neither the Standard Oil Company nor any other oil company - pany has shown any disposition to evade the requirements of the new law and since the' four cars in controversy were disposed of not a single car of illuminating oil has been shipped into this state that did not come up to the new test. Mr. Hays , in his. circular , states that Edward ChurclI , at that time deputy oil inspector , . worked against the new inspcc- tion law while the matter was being considered by the legisla- ture. lIe addressed a letter tome i . I investigated - me making such a charge. vestigated the matter and found there was nothing iu the allega- tion. Upon this point I submit these facts : The bill passed the Senate by a vote of 26 to 5. 'rhe bill passed the lIouse by a vote of H , and not a single :1 : vote against. This would indicate that no particular work was done against the measure , and that no special work in its favor was necessary , The legislature was practicallJ unanimous. Mr. Hays intimate ! that he labored most strenuousb 'n for the bill , but my observatio : t is that it passed in spite of hit ] 1e rather than because of his effec f- tive assistance. - n- I have already stated that Mr p- Ruth , Mr. Hars and myself ha' ' 111 a conference regarding the fm : cars of oil , in my ofiice on Apr 9 , 29.

The appointment was madc , the commission was written up and signed by myself prior to the conference which 'Mr. Hays alleges determined his as an applicant for reappointment - ment , but the announcement of said appointment had not been made to the press. 'l'he appointment of Mr. Church on that particular day was merely - ly a coincidence. , The conference above referred to had no bearing upon it in any way , shape nor form. Neither the Standard Oil Company 1101 . any other oil company ever sug. gested to me in any mannci whatever the slightest intima. tion of any interest in the ap' pointment of chief oil inspector Ir Not a single word , written 0 il spolen , ever passed between my Ie self and any representative 0 _ any oil company regarding th - mMter.
