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

Public Enemies.
,
The man or woman who
speaks unkindly of a neighbor j I
or citizen is an emeny to public t
welfare. 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.
"Dene at the city of Washing
ton this 22nd day of October in
the year of our Lord one thou
sand nine hundred and six and
the Independence of the United
States the one hundred and
thirty-first.

Secretary of State. "
