PUBLIC Improvements and local tax
ation are ventilated in an interview
that appears on our local page. TIIK
BEE has long since called attention to
the recklessness of assessors in under
valuing real property and the necessity
of equalizing assessments on a uni
form basis , Wo propose to discuss
thii subject folly before the next as-
esament It made.
AOOOBDINO to Dr. Gere the associa
ted monopoly that furnishes the Htr-
aid and Republican , of Omaha , and
Journal , at Lincoln , with telegraphic
reports , is a private club gotten up for
mutual exchange of local news. Ac
cording to Dr. Miller this private
club is a corporation chartered under
the laws of the state of Illolnls. When
doctors disagree who is to decide ?
THE BEE Is not in favor of high
city and county taxes , bnt it la in favox
of making those who own property
pay their just proportion of taxes ,
Under our present Iniquitous method
of assessment the heavy property
owners go scott free , whllo the labor
ers , clerks and mechanics pay more
than their share , THE BEX is In
favor of a proper equalization ot as
sessment , which will distribute the
burden of taxation Impartially'accord- '
Ing to property ownership.

REDUCING THEIR WAGER-
The iron and steel monopolists , whi
for over twenty years hnvo ( lonrishoc
and grown fat from the natlona
bounty in the shape ot an oxorbitan
tariff protection , are about to celebrate
brato their defeat In the last congrcei
by a general reduction of the wagei
of their employes. From PitUburgj
Olovolandfand Wheeling come throati
that as profits have boon cut down bj
the now'larifl' , wages must follow the
downward movement of the market ,
and that the laborer must shore will
the employer the effects of the opera
tion of a lowered tariff This pros
pect is all the moro unfortunate
for the Iron workers , became the
men in the mills have scarcely recov
ered from the effects of last Hummer's
strike , when 60,000 workingmen pro
tested against a ton per cent , reduc
tion in tholr wages by refusing to
work at , the prices offered. What
little savings were before that time
accumulated were for the most part
swept away during the progress of the
long continued look-out , and the man
of employes are in no condition olthet
; o resist a reduction or to refute theii
abor oven at starvation wages. When
; ho depressed state of trade Is also
taken into consideration , the ontlook
: or the iron workers cannot be
said to bo a cheering one , Man ;
mills have either permanently closed
tholr doors or Kavo greatly restricted
production. Competition which bj
bidding fjr labor increases its money
valno is less than It has been for five
years and the slackened orders and
curtailed railroad extension make the
tmtlook for increased'production in
the near f ataro most unpromising.
Labor is always the first element in
production to fool the cfldota of a de
pressed market and the last to ex
perience the benefits of pros
perous times. This is the un
just law which tbo greed of
capital has incorporated in the stat
utes of political economy. None of
our great industries have Illustrated
the operation of this rnlo better , tban
the stool manufacturers. Bolstered
for years by outrageous tariff duties ,
on the plea that the imposition of an
exorbitant tariff was a guarantee of
higher wages to the American laborer ;
entrenched by patents and defended by
giant consolidations of interests' , they
have heaped up mighty fortunes at
the expense of the public.
With seven-tenths of the benefits
of tariff protection accruing to their
own interests , the average of wages
paid to tholr employes , for whom the
heavy duties were pltoously demand
ed , has boon a trifle moro than a dollar
lar and a half a day. Hundreds of
thousands of dollars have boon , spent
at Washington to prevent any Inter
ference by congress with tholr allow
ance of the national bounty , while a
million a year were donated by nine
of those corporations out of the
profits of tholr business to keep t
tenth company from adding to the
production of Bessemer steel.
The cry that wages must bo further
reduced Is Intended for political ef
feet. There la no reason to suppose
that profits will be any less during
the coming year than they have boot
during the depression of the past year ,
It was to meet that depression thai
the 10 per cent reduction of last sum
mer was made , and since that time
the closing of the mills and the blow
ing out of furnaces has restricted pro
duotion , so that the Iron trade is In i
bettor condition than it was six monthi
ago. A further reduction of the wagoi
of their already poorly paid omp'oye.
will bo an act of wanton injustice
which will react on the heads of thi
authors.
TIIK Chicago Tribune claims tha
railroad regulation failed In the Nebraska
braska legislature as it did in Noi
York because the anti-monopolist
attempted to go too far , It assert
that If Nebraska had boon aatlsfie *
with railroad regulation on the Illluol
plan a bill could nave passed , bnt thi
the anti-monopoly party pushed foi
ward a measure that arbitrarily raise
rates without giving any right <
appeal to corporatlonsor shippers wb
might be aggrieved by its operatic
and that ita defeat followed as a mater
tor of course ,
The Tribune has been milled by 1
Nebraska correspondent. Rallroi
regulation on the Illinois plan was i
impossibility , The commissioner sj
tern was prohibited by a constitution
proviso , which forbids the creation
any additional executive officer , B
oven if the legislature had boon 01
powered to enact the Illinois rallro
law It never would have passed , t
cause a majority of the member *
the honBO wcro controlled , body a :
soul by the railroads.
The only bill that the railroad ma
agors were disposed to favor was a t
creating a commission with no pow
to regulate rates. Such a bill , draft
by the railroad attorneys , was i
ported back by the packed rallro
commlttco of the house. Could a
true nnti-mcnopolUt go on record
favor of such an imposition !
The senate bill framed by the soni
railroad committee which the an
monopolists supported was not
tended to make a rigidly Inflexl' '
tariff. It reduced the existing ta
on freight 20 per cent , bnt gave t
commission power to modify ra
i- raising or lowering them whono'
they dMnud a chance advisable a
just , The right of appeal was guaranteed
antood to both ehlppers and corpora
lions by the law , In this respect thi
Illinois law possessed no advantagi
over the measure which to antl-mon
opollsta sought to enact in Nebraska
Lot io bo understood once for al
that the measure was n fair one. Il
assailed no property rights , and offered
od the remedial legislation demanded
by the people. It was drawn in con <
formlty with the constitution , so that M
could have boon enforced , Under
corporate dictation the house refused
fused to pass this bill because it would
have reduced railroad earnings. Bnl
while the honao refused to pass thli
bill , it never attempted to return it tc
the sanato modified by amendments ,
The railroad managers were never dla
posed to run the risk of the adoptlot
of the amendments by the senate ,
This Is why all railroad legislation
failed. To charge this failure upor.
anti-monopolists is rank Injustice ,
The anti monopolists of all parties did
all that honorable men could do , and
the record will sustain them. The
men who worked and voted to fulfil
tholr pledges to tholr constituents have
nothing to apologize for.
TIIK people of Omaha are quite
indignant over the faot that the board
of public works of that city has been
legislated out of existence by the
passage of an apparently innocenl
bill during the session of the legisla
ture jatt closed. It was the work ol
the democratic mlsroprosontatlves ol
that city , who hoped to Rain the favor
of the laboring mon by forcing the
management of city improvements
Into the hands of the city council and
mayor and tbhs obtain political prefer-
mont. Kansas City Journal ,
The Kansas City Journal goto all
Its Nebraska news from Lincoln and
its reporters are so linked In with the
railroad cappers and jobbers that they
never oan and never will toll the
truth. The blundering viadnot bill
was gotten np and passed with no
reference to politics. Its framer had
no idea how its provisions could be
construed against the board ol
public works. But the entire
point is taken out of the paragraph bj
the faot that the viaduct bill wae
fathered not by democrats , but by an
out and out railroad republican.
Finally , the Kansas City Jbumai
will bo soothed to know that the
board of public works has not beer
legislated out of office ; that they are
still at tholr posts and that , in the
opinion of the best lawyers , tbo via.
duct bill will remain a dead letter.
ACCORDING ) to the Naw York
Tribune Keifor , "being a ropublicac
mlstako , is in no danger of being repeated <
poatod " He certainly will not be repeated
poatod next year or the year after ,
Bnt one reason , is that the republican !
will not control the next house ol
representatives and a combination between
twoen Robinson and Don Camoror
cannot nominate the next speaker.
