Will it Pay to Attempt Freak Taxation
Reason for Comparison with Other States
Issued Under Authority of the Eailroads of Nebraska
In the articles which have immediately preceded
this we have given the details of taxes paid by the
railroads of Nebraska and the amounts they have
paid in the several counties of the state and it will be
noticed that in the foot notes which accompany the
figures given there is a line of comparisons showing
what other states have done in regard to the taxation
of railroads which run through their commonwealths
In the matter of taxation as in any other business
matter the people of Nebraska desire to and nat
urally should keep in line with what is done in other
states No greater disaster could occur to the state
of Nebraska than if by ill advised action it should
throw itself out of line regarding matters of taxation
of corporate property or of any property
It may be a taking proposition for a demagogue
to advocate the over taxing of railroad companies and
thereby work a hardship against them that would not
accrue to other lines of property within the state but
it would be an advertisement that would pass
through the whole United States proclaiming that
the people of Nebraska did not intend to be as fair
with capital as other states of the Union It would
reproduce here in Nebraska that prejudice which took
Kansas a term of at least ten years tc dispel
The comparisons which we have made in these
foregoing statements include every state in the Union
with the exception of Massachusetts In Massachu
setts New York and several other states laws have
been passed which work a hardship against railroad
corporations In New York the onerous tax paid by
the New York Central railroad is being tested in the
courts its ill advised law is working a hardship
against that road while not injuring the others in the
state to any extent In Massachusetts through a
contract made in the early days between the corpora
tions and the state and their excise laws the taxes
are out of line with what is done in other states and
there is a general movement among the business
people of that state looking to the correction of this
abuse
In Harpers Weekly of February 15 1902 the fol
lowing is an extract from an editorial in regard to
this matter
There is a very strong movement in the state of
Massachusetts for rational corporation laws The
commonwealth is waking up to the fact that under
its present laws large modern corporations cannot be
organized in the state and Massachusetts capital is
seeking investment elsewhere Not only the corpora
tion law is restrictive and narrow but the tax laws
are as unreasonable as those of New York Both
states tax all the property of a corporation wherever
it is situated and this is double taxation
An effort is being made in New York and will be
made in Massachusetts to put an end to this S3rstem of
double taxation There is a feeling abroad that New
Jersey should not remain the refuge of all combina

tions which want liberal treatment
In Wisconsin it appears that they have an entire
ly different form of taxation for railroad corporations
from other states as the taxes are collected in the
form of an excise tax being collected on the
gross earnings of the companies in such a way that
while the tax is heavy on those roads which have a
large earning capacity it is very light on those which
are operating at a loss This form of taxation looks
fair but it would not be popular in Nebraska because
all of the taxes charged against railroad corporations
in Wisconsin are turned into the state treasury and
they are relieved from paying taxes locally along
their lines In the poorer counties of Nebraska this
would mean practically bankruptcy In Wisconsin
there is a general movement looking towards a
change in the form of taxation After having tried a
law something of the same character as that of Wis
consin Michigan has returned to the direct form of
taxation
This whole subject of the payment of taxe on
the part of the railroad corporations resolves itself
into a question as to how much of their revenue
should be diverted to this purpose
If the taxes were out of reason it would place
Nebraska in an unenviable light before all investors
For political reasons a few men have made them
selves prominent by advocating a system of double
taxation of railroad property in the state but when
the people once understand what is done and how it
is done we do not believe their efforts will avail
The railroads of Nebraska up to the present time
have not earned an undue amount on the investment
made for a series of years there was no profit derived
from the investment as a whole on Nebraska rail
roads and while during 1900 two of the railroads paid
a fair dividend on the capital invested very many of
the railroads in the state failed to render any returns
whatever to their owners
Nebraska has not as j et got the population nor
the completed system of railroads which would war
rant this state in imposing such obligations on the
corporations which now exist that would drive all
future investors in such property from the state
The figures which have been given are all from
reliable data which can be investigated by aii3 one
so disposed the averages per mile being from the
report of the Inter State Commerce Commission and
the details of the business of the different roads are
taken from their official reports while the figures
here in Nebraska are taken from the auditors offices
of the different railroads
We will now continue our comparisons with other
property in the state showing some remarkable facts
concerning the changes in value in various counties
and how by these changes the railroads have been
obliged to carry more than their proportionate share
of taxation
