HOW THE NEW LAW OPERATES In this issue -we present to the tax payers of Nebraska , the official trans cript of the proceedings of the state boards of equalization in the assess ment of Nebraska railroad property for the years 18V9 nd 1830. The facts and Genres in this transcript furriah unanswcrablo proof of the iniquity ot thelavr enacted by the last all railroad cr- legislature- whereby pror ty is lumped with tbe road bed and roadway and exempted frcm all local taxation. Some d-iys sgntheLiocoln Journal , vho3e editor , hy the -way , ia a candi date for the stito ecnato , 6B3ailod THE UKE'fcr tha vigorous demand it h < made for tbo repeal of this law. Although tlu facts which we publi h idlayjwere'\vitnra easy reach of the wdilor of the Journal , that notorious apologist for jobbery and cippcr for monupolieu , had the audacity lo HS- cert 0-at thb uevr la * was equitable and did not operate to the disadvan tage of Nebraska tax-payers. With- wut hUBtaining these bare-faced as sertions by any figures , the Lincolu Journal insisted that the amount of taxei was the tRtn < > , but instead of bum : ; assessed where the buildinrs , machine sliops , &c. , of the railroads tire Incite : ! , the tax is distributed all over Iho etato and the west ern counties derive the benefits of the improvtiiuetiu located in Drug' l s Cass , Lmcaster , and other eastern counties. Now let this brazen apologist of public thieves nnd tax-iktrkcra compare the figures we print in another column , and then lot him explain how in tha face of these Jigures ho can dcf ocd the now railroad lair. By looking at thcsa figures it will bo aeon that the Union Pacific railroad proneriy In 1879 , when its depots , de pot grounds , machine shops and macb incry were not included in the state U3&oaiincnt ) was valued at § 10,300,000 per mile , or $4,723,780.150 for its tn- tire line between Oinaha and Sidney. In 1880 , when all the depot grounds , machine thops , machinery and otber porsouBl property wore included in the Ksseamenttba , assessed valuation of the * a-oad was § 10,195 per niilc , or 54,6-15- 01.50 for the entire line between Omoha and Sidney. It is a notorious 'fact ' that in the last year the Ucion Pacific road has earned more money than it did the previous year and hes added materially to its rolling stock , michinory , depot buildings and otber improvements on its line. And yet the road is atsssscd $77'J24.70 lets in 1880 than it was in 1879. In other words , after including several millions ot dollars worth of depot grounds , depot buildings , machine shops , mach- iuoy nnd other personal property , the Union Pacific is assessed nearly S78000 less in 1880 thsn in 1870. Omaha and Douglas county are thus robbed of taxes on half a million of dollar ? worth oE property nnd not a single county on the line of the road has the slightest benefit from this exemption. On the con trary , in every county from Omaha to Sidney the Union Pacific after es caping entirely from local taxation contributes lest to the general lax in 1880 than it did in 3879. What a true of-the Union Pacific is maasurably true cf all the other Xe braka roads. How the Etato board of equalization arrived at the conclu sion that the value -of railroads was loss , in 1880 than it was in 1879 , not withstanding that millions of dollars of local property had been exempted from taxation msy readily be seen by reference to fho tutfes wa print ehe where which ihowthct vho main lines of tbe roads were listed a trifle above the figures of the rcceoding years , but the rolling stock , depot grounds , buildings and machine shops were listed at figures that were practically a give away. For instance the Union Pacific returned 227 acres of depot grounds which were assessed at $11- JJC8.60. Too depot grounds iu Oinaha nl me cost this city over § 200jOOO.snd ii is.safe lo estimate th.it the depot grounds of the U. P. between Omsha and'Sidney uro worth half a mill on dollars'.at-lesah The B. & . M. re turned 100 acres of tlepot grounds and they are assessed at five dollars per acre. All the furniture of the Union Pacific , including furniture in the Omaha headquarters and at every tation on the road , was assessed at 55000. 'Asa matter-of fact the furnU turo in the Omaha headquarters alone , including safes , heating apparatus , Ac. , could not le duplicated { or 525,000. This explains how the new law virtually exempts all the personal property of the road , although there ia a pretense made of its being assessed. Any man or newspaper that defends such an imposition on the tax-payers of this state is a public enemy , and if the pjople of Lancaster county elect this man Gerewho , defends these tax * exempting laws , to the next legisla ture , they deserve to bo disfranchised. Right here let us quote a recom mendation of Charles Francis Adams , Jr. , who is n enemy of Amerlcanf railroads , as to the proper method of taxing railroad property. Mr. Adamf , as one of the three members of a spe cial committee appointed by the national convention of railroad com missioners held at Saratoga Springs on the 30th of June , 1879 , drafted a uniform tax law which they recom mend to the various legislatures of this country. The following is the substance of this law : First Every railroad corporation shall pay an annual tax upon its gross receipt * , which shall be in lieu of ail other taxes upon tbo property , capital stock or evidences of indebtedness , except such real eatate as lies out of the location for a right of way. Second All the real property of railronds shall be taxed locally in the same manner as other real estate ia taxed in the same places. This was , practically , the law in 2fe- brdska until the last legislature con verted all the property owned by rail roads into personal property and made it subject to ceacral assessment , with rolling stock , road bed , etc. The man agers of the railroads have repeatedly asset ted that they had nothing what ever to do-with the enactment of the new law. Whether they had or Irxd not , the people will insist that the law bo repealed by the next legislature. MEX who have been investing money in Union PucIGc stock inYtll street on the basis of the periodical statements which come from Omaha will ba a little more careful after read- higtho confession of General Manager Clark , that the reported earnings made to the stock exchange were pur posely falsified by order of the dircc- t > re. At the meeting of the state board of equalizition last year , Mr. Clark and Auditor Gannett made the following representations : "Tho amount of earnings as re- portek by svd road includes other matters which do not pertain lo ati actual GarniD f'ZtferaUibeing ficti' iiotia and icere included at the request or order of the Board of Direc tors to make a good showing viz : The item of § 590,775 forniailisthcarmiu figured at the rata of express matter and the diflvrence between that amount and the amount as will bo a < l jmlicaled by tlie government , will be about one half r.ud ilm company ask tti.it.

The item of $300,907.57 is for the movement of the company's own ma- tonal and is in > io wise an earning but it * included af the directors request. The item < f § 1'0Gi'4 52 Crtr ervice , is ( .n earning nOt made in Nebraska , but ia derived from the rent of their cars used by connecting roads , east End west. " PHYSICIANS report an unusually immbor ot cases of malarial fever in the city some of which are of a marked typhoid typo. Our people will dowell it carefully cxamino their irclls and drainage system , contaminated water and defective sewcrairo being the two great sources of this disease. Defective plumbing , tbe accumulation of greato and organic matter in waste pipes and Insufficient venUlalton sro also fre quently responsible for outbreaks of malarial and typhoid .fevers. THE iutide history of r.iilroad as sessment which THE EEC publishes to day will bo interesting reading for both Nebraskans , uho ara annuslly swindled out of their taxes , and , for eastern capitalists , -who confide in Ut P. financial statements. ENGLAND ncvur teems to get out of ono trouble before falling into anoth er. A dispatch from Burmab an nounces that over 1000 Burmese troops have arrived on the frontier , "prepared to rr.ako war on the British. THE demonstration of republicans in New York on Monday night was the largest -ever seen in the metropolis , over 50jOOO torches being in line. General' Graufraud General Arthur re viewed , the immsnto proco'ston. THE itato board of equalization will find it difficult lo persuade our people that they were ignorant of the wool being pulled over their eyes by the railroad managers. THE BEK gives up much of its space to-day to the exposure cf the iniqui tous steal perpetrated en the people of Nebraska , by the revenue lav of last year. THE Mark Lauo Express reports further damage ta ( he wheat crop cf Great Britain and a consequent slight advance In prices of foreign grain. THE cloto of the October elections has transferred tbe political fight to Now York. The Etnp're state is the pivotal state after alL OMAHA people \rho complain of higa local taxes can now gje how the great tax shirkers throw their burdens on the people. AFTER having his ignorance ex hibited in the Republican the best thing Mr.Lyon can do is to keep quiet.

D. , 1879 , the State Board of Equal ization met at the office of the Auditor of Public Accounts , to value and assess the property of Railroad and Telegraph Companies in the State of Nebraska , as by law provided. Present , ALBINUS NANCE , Governor. FRED'K W. LIEDTKE , Auditor. GEO. M. BARTLETT , Treasurer. The Auditor submitted to the Board the returns as made by the Railroad and Telegraph Companies showing the number of miles of Railroad and Tel egraph lines in each organized county in the State , the total numberlof miles in the State including road-bed , right of way , main and side tracks nnd turn outs , depot grounds , buildings , repair shops , warehouses , rolling stock of all kinds and descriptions , telegraph lines , furniture and fixtures and all other personal property belonging to the corporation on April ist , 18 ° o. Said returns were examined and or der filed for reference. The following gentlemen appeared before said Board , viz ! Mr. A. E. Touzalin , representing the Burlington & Missouri River Rail Road in Nebraska ; the Omaha & South western Rail Road ; the Nebraska Railway ; and the Republican Valley Rail Road. L. W. Tovvne , representing the Atchison & Nebraska Rail Road and the Lincoln & Northwestern Rail Roadi Mr. Touzalin considered the assessed valuation of the Roads , > vhich he rep resents as made by the Road in 1879 , excessive and presented the following arguments , viz : New engines can be purchased at $5,200 each , and other equipments in proportion. He thought that the following figures would be a fair assessable valuation and would not object to them and hoped the Board would take tfccm under consid eration , viz : Engines 2,500 each ; Passenger Carsi,500 each ; Baggage , Mail and Express ( combined ) Cars $1.000 each ; Way and Caboose Cars $350each. As to the question of Ca boose Cars he claims that tha greater portion of them are simply box cars with a window cut in them and plain seats erected for passengers. Box , Cattle and Flat Cars 8150 each. In his returns of buildings , there are station' , tool houses and other buildings included and that $100 for building would be a fair average assessed valu ation. He made a verbal statement , that the repair shops and engine houses at Omaha cost about § 30,000 ; at Plattsmouth S ; at Lincoln $6,000 ; and at Hastings $4,500 , and should not be assessed more than ; viz : at Omaha Sioooo ; Plattsmouth $21- See ; Lincoln $2,000 ; Hastings 01,500. Ilealso represented that the Engines reported in returns of Republican Val ley Railroad were new and those re ported on the ether Roads were" old having been over seven years in service and that two of them were pony en gines and of less value than regular engines , and that the above facts should be considered by the Board. Also that the Equipment on said Roads except- Republican Valley R. R. is old and worn having been in constant service for years , consequently the value of the same has greatly depreciated. The justness of taxing both gross and net earnings was discussed. Mr. Townecoincided with Mr. Touz alin in his remarks. Nothing further being oflered their representations were heard and taken under consideration by the Board. The Auditor was directed to write to the proper parties in Michigan as to their mode of arriving at the assessed . valuation of Rail Roads in that State. j No other business being before the i I Board it abjourned to meet on 'Wed nesday 5th inst.

Crawford ) representing the Sioux City & Pacific and Fremont , Elkhorn & Missouri Valley Railroad Companies appeared before the Board in behalf of said Roads. Statements as returned by said Roads were exam ined by the Board and Mr. Crawford argued in connection therewith that the class of engines in use on said Roads are inferior to those used by the B. & M. R. Ri R. arid other roads in the State. Also that the assessment as made by the Board in 1879 ; that Rail roads in Iowa are assessed much lower than they are in Nebraska ; that the Sioux City& Pacific R.R. was assessed in Iowa in 1879 and in the present year at $3i5 ° ° Per mile , in proof of which he exhibited to the Board a copy of the valuation as assessed in Iowa ; also that the earnings of the Iowa Road wa& much greater than the road in Nebraska being about $900 per mile net. That the Passenger Coaches as compared to those of the B. Si il. R. R. R. were inferior , and of less value , and should not be assessed as high. Mr. Crawford read the statement as madeby Mr , Touzalin which he con sidered a fair representation and re quested the Board to accept the same as his sentiments , so far as it relates to equipment. No other business being before the Board it adjourned. TUESDAY , May 25th , iSSo. Meeting of the Board called to order at 3 o'clock P. M. Present Governor Nance , Auditor Liedtke and Treasurer Bartlett.

Said law was examined and ordered filed. The Auditor also presented a telegram signed by A. E. Touzalin in which he states that the assessment of the B. & M. R. R. R. buildings'shops , etc. , in Plattsmouth have this day been assessedand valuation fixed at $21,800. Said telegram was ordered filed and the amount inserted in statement made r by Mr. Touxalin to the Board dated Mar 4th , preceding. The Board then proceeded to exam ine financial and assessment returns of the various Railroads and from said returns it was determined that the Union Pacific , Burlington & Missouri River and Omaha & Southwestern Railroads are first class and should be so codsidered as compared to other roailo in the State whose earnings were small and equipment limited. The Board then proceeded to value and assess the property of each corpor ation in the State at its actual value for each mile of said road or line ; the value of each line to be determined by dividing the sum 01 the whole ralua- tion by the number of miles of such road or line. It was resolvetTthat the road bed of the Union Pacific Railroad be assessed at $3,250 per mile. The Burlington & Missouri River Railroad and the Omaha & Southwestern Railroad be . .assessed at § 3,050 per mile and all other roads be assessed $2,750 per mile , except the narrow gauge road , i.e. Covingtoii ) Columbus & Black Hills Railroad. The matter of equipment was then considered and it was re solved that the following schedule of Valuation be adopted : Engines owned by U. P. R. R. at $3,000 each ; Pas senger Coaches owned by U. P. R. R. at $ iSoo each ; equipment on all other roads with above exception as follows , Viz : Engines $2,500 each ; Passenger Coached Jiisoo ; Mail , Baggage and Express Cars $1,000 each ; Emigrant Cars 8750 each ; Ca boose Cars $300 each ; Box and Cat tle Cars $250 each ; Flat Cars Sioo each ; Hand and Rubble Cars $25 each ; Wrecking Cars $700 each. The Board then took into considera- tied the Telegraph Lines owned or op erated by the various roads and de termined the following to be a fair as- sesssd valuation , viz : Lines of One Wire $35 per rnilc ; Lines of Two Wires $45 per mile. The buildings , including depot grounds , buildings , repair shops , round houses , and ware houses , were then considered and it was determined to assess them at the same value as was returned by the various railroads in their sworn statements on file. The Auditor was then directed to prepare a tabular statement showing the assessed valuation of Railroads made upon the basis above determined and report at the next meeting of the Board. In figuring the valuation of road-beds he must take into considera tion the road-bed , right of way , main find side tranks and turn-outs as by law directed. The Auditor presented to the Board two communications signed by J. W. Bishop , General Manager of the St. Paul & Sioux City R. R. relative to the condition of the Covington , Co lumbus & Black Hills Railroad which were read and taken under considera tion and ordered to be filed.
