r THE FALLS CITi' TRIBUNE , FRIDAY , NOVEMBER 2 , 1906. The Reason Why-Railroads As sessments-Fees Paid State Treasurer. i In 1900 the fusionists at the state house assessed the Nebraska railroads and Pullman Car com pany at $26,442,249. The republicans coming into power in 1901 , raised this fusion assessment $115,000 , In 1902 the republican board made another raise of $217,000. In 1903 the republicans raised the assessment $510,000 more. In 1904 they raised it $18,893,000 more. In 1905 they raised it $1,212,000 more. In 1906 they raised it $421,000 , making a total raise in the rail road assessment for the six years of 80 per cent more than the fusion assessment of 1900. The fusionists in four years raised the assessment of these corporations $964,000 , while the republicans raised the assessment in six years $21.368,701. The Union Pacific and Bur lington refused to pay under the 1904 assessment , claiming it was too high , but instead of receding the republican board advanced the assessment still higher in 1905. Again these roads refused to pay and again the republican board advanced the assessment in 1906. This is the record of the repub lican officials as to railroad as sessments. While the railroads are resisting the payment of taxes levied against them , it is not strange that they are also re sisting the election or re-election of republican state officials responsible for the increased assessment and the promotion to the United States Senate of the attorney general who has success fully prosecuted the suits for en forced collection. The auditor's reports show that for the four years 1897-1900 , the fusionists paid to the state treasurers $195,947.79 , fees earn ed by the several departments , while the republicans for 1901- 1904 turned in the sum of $348,917.46. and during the last twenty-two months the fees amounted to $282,098.90. Compare the records. K PKKKINS. Did you ever before hear of a prominent citizen runningas a candidate for the high oflice of district court judge with this kind of a record : "W. II. Ashby , poverty ; affidavit of poverty on file , $11.18. " Not only is this man running for judge on the democratic ticket in this district , but he is making a tour of the district , and is said to feel enthus iastic over his prospects of elec tion. Of course , he is off on this , but how can he get money to campaign on and not be able to pay his personal taxes ? This is what we call attention to. We \ > haven't a thing personal against Captain Ashby. He is a compan ionable mail ) but we draw the line on the election of a man to the office of district judge who make a poverty affidavit in lieu of paying his just proportion of taxes. Hon. Board of Supervisors , Gage county , Gentlemen : Herewith we hand you list of delinquent personal taxes due from various parties on whom distress warrants have been is sued for the collection of same , and the following returns made by the special collector ; Name , why not collected anil amount.

And when that sortj [ are helped in any manner they j ' are a menace to the prosperity of a town. The thing to do is to tell every long tongue to cut it out. True or false no one should repeat anything to the discredit of another. This is good sense backed up by peace and good will to be had no other way. Brown County World.

Thanksgiving Proclamation , President Roosevelt has issued his thanksgiving proclamation which is as follows : "The time of the year has come when , in accordance with the wise custom of our fore fathers , it becomes my duty to set aside a special day of thanks giving and praise to the Al mighty because of the blessings we have received , and of prayer that the blessings may be con tinued. Yet another year of widespread well being has passed. Never before in our history or in the history of any other nation has a people enjoyed more abounding material prosperity than is ours ; a prosperity so great that it should arouse in us no spirit of reckless pride , and least of all a spirit or heedless disregard of our respon sibilities ; but rather a sober sense of our many blessings , and a resolute purpose under provi dence , not to forfeit them by any action of our own. "Material well being , indispen sable though it is. can never be anything but the foundation of true national greatness and hap piness. If we build nothing upon this foundation then our national life will be as meaning less and empty as a house where only the foundation has been laid. Upon our material well being must be built a super structure of individual and nat ional life in accordance with the laws of the highest morality , or else our prosperity itself will in the long run turn out a curse instead of a blessing. We should be both reverently thankful for what we have received , and earn- estly bent upon turning it into a mean of grace and not of dc- struction. "Accordingly I hereby set apart November 29 , next , as the day of Thanksgiving and suppli cation on which the people shall meet in their homes or their churches , devoutly acknowledge all that has been given them and to pray that they may in addition receiye the power to use these gifts aright : "In witness whereof I have here unto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.
