will rote either to sead a desaobrat to

the "Platte ooaaty idea. ' or a republi
caa pledged to staad for the strict ea

If the preseat law is suoh that aa

railroad property oa the
a "horn or a farm,"
aot coaaisteaely rote foe tk democrat
ic csadidate. for they wiU have
him pledged to repeal a law that al
ready meets the requiremeats of their
platform. '
There remains, therefore, just aae
qaestioa for voters to iaveatigate, aad
that is, DOES THE PRESENT LAW
rROVIDE FOB THE TAXING OF
RAILROAD PROPERTY ON THE
SAME BASIS AS THE HORSE OR
THE FARM, AMD IF NOT WOULD
THE PLATTE COUNTY IDEA PRO
VIDE A REMEDY?
Gallia railroads hod mm or ap
pealing tomea's prejadices does aot
give the voter say light oa this qaes
tioa. Voters will prefer to save the facts
aad to draw their owa iufereaoes
from those facts. They will aot de
cide to vote to repeal the preseat law
aatil they know what that law is and
we do aot believe that the democrats
at the ooaaty ooaveatioa would have
beea so foolish as. to pat forward the
"Platte county idea" bad they
read the preseat law before their coa
ventioa. FOR THE PRESENT LAW RE
QUIRES TEE RAILROADS TO
MAKE A SWORN STATEMENT
8HOWING THE MARKET VALUE
OF THEIR STOCKS AND BONDS.
This is precisely what the democrats
ask. aad ALL THAT THEY ASK.
Now suppose the preseat law stopped
here, just where the "Platte ooaaty
idea" stops, what would be the result?
Simply this: The State Board would
be powerless to reach the property of
railroads whose stocks were aot quoted
oa tae market, or whose hoods were
retired, as for example the Burliagtoa.
Bat thanks to a republican legislatara,
the loophole that "the Platte ooaaty
idea" would leave, a loophole large
eaough for all the railroad attorneys
aad the Jaoksoaiaa dab to
through ia a body "without soiliag
their clothes," was completely closed.
After providiag that the" railroads
should make a sworn statement
"showing the market valae of suoh
stock" the oaly requiremeat the
"Platte county idea" provides the
preeat law goes a step farther aad
adds, "CR IF OF NO MARKET
VALUE, THEN THE TRUE VALUE
OF THE SHARES OF STOCK." Aad
the law does aot stop here, bat goes
right oa, makiag safeguards agaiast
the possibility of escape of railroad
property, for which the railroads
have title. It says; "The returns of
railroad oompaaies or corporations
shall not be held to be coaolusive
to the value of said property, bat the
State Board of Eqaalizavioa shall,
FROM ALL THE INFORMATION
WHICH IT IS ABLE TO OBTAIN,
FIND THE TRUE VALUE OF ALL
SUOH PROPERTY, INCLUDING
TANGIBLE PROPERTY AND
FRANCHISES AND SHALL ASSESS
THEM ON THE SAME BASIS AS
OXHER PROPERTY."
What if the railroads refuse to re
turn fctatements showing the market
value of their stock and other iaf orma-
tioa demanded by the state board?
The legislature that framed
the preseat law also had this ia mind.
They provided that for every suoh
offense the railroad company so offend
ing shall pay a fine of from 91.000 to
$5,000 and that the state board, after
determiaiag the real valae of the
property of the railroad oompaay so
offeadiag, shall add fifty per cent
thereto as a penal y for the offense.
Why do the democratic newspapers
aot quote the provisions of the law
they coadema? Caa they aot trust
intelligent democrats with the facta?
Ia apholdiaaT the revenue law we do
not ooatend that it is perfect. Bat wo
have sho wa that as applied Jo jsailroad
property it contains alTthe "Platte
ooaaty idea" demands and many provi
sions bestdss which are esseatial to a
fair aaammnent of the railroads.
The new law has forced the ooliec
tioa of thousands of dollars of delin
quent taxes that had accumulated under
the old law. It provides for the needs
of our growing state and for the
eeUatioa of a debt that was rapidly
the old law. The
fasiosdsta had four years in which to
eaaotalaw to accomplish these re
sults. Why did they not do it?
They had an opportunity to

law. Way did they tax them lam than

be put to everyday nee on every
