THE Kansas railroad law wont int
effect on the first of the month , an
much Interest Is felt In its operation
By Its provisions al ) passenger vatc
In the state are fixed at a raaxlmut
rate of three cents a mile. With
view to making the law obnoxious , th
railroads will refuse all oxonrslo
rates. Agricultural associations , pic
nlo parties and clerical convention
will be required to pay the regnlatlo
three cents a mile without rebate
The Nebraska railroads attempted t
make the Doano law obnoxious wit
the effect of creating an antl-tnonopol
party which polled 17,000 votes at th
last election. When corporations tr
to make just laffs obnoxious to th
citizens it is high time for the poop ]
to make law breaking nnd defiance c
law obnoxious to the corporations. ]
wo are not mistaken the next legtala
turo in Kansas will go several stop
fariher In the way of nntl-inonopol
legislation than the last. It rarel
pays to arouse the law making povrc
of the state to apply the extrom
* remedies which they possess , for th
* correction of crying abuioa.
THE LAND TAX. DECISION.
Exception Is taken to our stricture
on the action ol Judge Dandy ii
granting a perpetual Injunction to re
strain the county commissioners am
treasurer ol Buffalo county from levy
ing or collecting taxes on the nnpnt
ontod lauds belonging to the Unloi
Pacific railroad. Two points ere madi
to sustain the conduit of thojudgo li
this case. First : that Baffclo count ]
made no defense ngalnst this In jane
tlon ; and second : that the decision o :
Judge Dundy simply carrloc
Into effect the ruling of thi
United States Snpromo Oonrt In thi
case of McShano vs. Union Pacific.
Wo wore not aware that the com <
mlsalonors of BofTilo county hac
neglected or failed to defend throng !
an attorney their action In levying
his just tax , and if ample time wai
jlvon them to make such a defense t
argo part of the blame rests upon
'hem ' , But oven though this was an
other jag handled affair , it does ncl
necessarily follow that the conrt wai
> onnd to grant a perpetual Injunction ,
This was not merely a case Involving
'ho Interests of Buffalo county , but II
nvolved the state taxes as well , and
( the judge had been as anxious tc
protect the interests of the state at
10 seems to be to protect the Interest !
of the railroad , ho would have caused
the attorney general of the state to be
cited and given the fullest latitude tc
the discussion of the vital question
whether the largest land owner In
Nebraska is to bo exempt from taxa
tlon.
tlon.And
And why did Bufblo county allen
.ho case to go by default ? Per
laps for the same reason thai
.ho commissioners of San Mateo <
too county permitted the tax caa <
against the Central Pacific to go by
default in the United States circuit
court in California. For nooks anc
weeks the commissioners of Bufhlc
county have been harassed by tin
lackeys and shysters of the Unlor
Pacific road , and every cflort has boot
mada to prevent them from ordorlnj
the treasurer to levy a tax on the un
patented lands. Their rofnssl to hi
Influenced In the first instanci
and their failure novr. . to defom
their action cm only bo accounted fo
on the ground that they have sinoi
boon corruptly manipulated , or tha' '
sufficient time has not boon givot
them for defouoe. That matter thopeo
plo of Buffalo county must settle foi
th'omsolven.
The doolalon in the McShano care
which is cited as the basis of the In
junction , doca not seem to u , t <
afford the propar ground. .
When that decision was ran
dored , twelve years ago , the Unlor
Pacific road had not boon accepted bj
thu government as completed , anc
louco ita land grant was otlll in doubt
But now the ownership of the land
Is absolute. By a later decision of thi
aupromo court in the "Platt" ease thread
road was declared to In the solo own
era of the lands , which cannot bo takoi
from them by the failure to compl ;
with any condition in tholr charter
Right hero lot us say that Judge Dun
dy'fl action in the Platt oaao , which 1
said to have no bearing upon the Bui
falo county injunction , nhouli
in equity have boon a bar ogalns
the injunction.
The Plate ciao , as wo have stated
was a put up job that ohonld novo
have boon allowed to go through onj
court. The supreme court of thi
United States was made to pass upoi
the facts presented , which < roro In
genlonsly distorted to conceal the oql
ties Involved. The supreme conr
cou'd not know the fact tha
William Platt was a land agonl
of the Union PaoiGo acting In eon
junction with his employers to defes
the ends of justice. They could no
know that Mr. Platt's attoruoy ha
boon an attorney for the Union Pi
clfio and was employed at their In
stance. They could not know thi
Platt was not a bona fide settler on th
land , but was merely playing a pn
to offset the decision of Sooretar
Schniz in the Dadymott case. Be
Judge Dandy , who has lived in Nc
braska a life time , had every roaso
to know that this WE
a bogus suit purposely gotte
up to nsu him and his court to ro
the settlers of America of millions <
acres upon which they had a right 1
make a home under the original U. I
charter. Having hold that the lane
had been disposed of by being mor
gaged through the Issue of a lac
grant bond , Judge Dandy stam
committed to the theory that the rot
is the absolnto owner of the nnpa
ontod land. Taking out a patent is
more formality , the absence i
which ohonld not deprive tt
state of Nebraska of tl
duo shares of taxes from Us owner ui
der any pretext. Suppose a horn
stoador should rcfuin to take out h
patent at tor living five years on h
land what protection would ho h\
iti thu Unltod States courts again :
paying his .taxes ? Suppose furthc
more that ho had received his patei
nnd failed to pay the fee for -ooordlc
as the Union PaclGo has failed to pt
for surveying , would the oommlcsloc
ers of the county bo enjoined fro
taxing hln laud ? If they were i
enjoined , then one-third of the faro
in Nebraska would go untaxed.
Viewing this question purely fro :
a standpoint of uqnlty and with t
personal feeling toward * any judge v
Insist that this Injunction haa dona
grave wrong to Nebraska.
THE BOARD OP IQUAL1ZA
T10N.
The county commissioners nro no'
lu soaalnn as a board of ctjml2 ! tlor
Their duties under the law are plol
and Imperative. The board alto i
roviaw of the condnat of the assessor
and la expected to plasn the proptrl
nf every citizen on an equal ba i ;
The statute requires that all properr
shall bo assessed at the full marko
value but willful perjury acorns to b
no crime in Djuglas count ;
and Nebraska. The assessor
claim that they are not bound by th
plain letter of tholr oath of office
booauso other assessors In other section
are violating the statute. So they aa
seas property at rates vary ing from one
fourth to one-tenth according to per
sons and localities. Thoobjictcf i
board of equalization la to make thos
assessments uniform. It ono-thlrd o
one-fourth Is to bo the basis , then al
property should bo assessed at tha
ratio.
Thirteen years ago the assossot
valuation of this city was about $10 ,
000,000 , and of the city and count ;
$13,000,000. Slnco then the assessoi
valuation has boon steadily decreas
ng , in splto of our steady growth ii
wealth and population. Two year
go It had got down to a fraction eve
oven millions. Last year , by a vlg
orons effort on the part of THE BEX
t was raised about a million. Noi
everybody knows that there Is not
oot of ground ID Omaha to day tha
s not valued at from 50 to 50
per cent more than it was in 1870
) maha real estate alone is worth froi
orty to fifty millions. In the count ;
ands that five yoaro ago were sellin
at $5 an acre , are hold at $30
n the last thirteen years wo hav
inllt more than 0,000 dwelling house
and 500 business houses , besides hundreds
drods of farm houses. Add to thi
ho great public Improvements ownoi
> y private corporation , such as wato
works , gas works , manufactories , a tree
railways , hotels and opera houses , am
t certainly surpasses all belief that li
he year 1883 the total valuation o
Douglas , as returned by the assessors
foots up only $10,000.000.
It is not expected , of course , tha
ho board can go over every lot , bu
they can and ought to correct gla'rln
discrepancies between the wards. I
a reported on good authority that th
Third and Fourth ward assessors ar
the only onoa lu the county that hav
made material advances In the vnlui
Ion over last year , whllo the Flro
and Second wards are stationary an
an inappreciable advance hua boo
made In the Sixth. Tao authority c
ho board of equalization to ralno th
aggregate valuation of property I
separata warda la full and complete
The statute of 1883 , p 275 , says :
"It shall DBCortnln whether the vale
atlona in ono tominhlp , precinct c
district boar junt relation to nil th
townships , precinota or dlatrioto in th
lonnty , and may increase or dlmlnla
the aggregate valuation of propcrt
in any township , precinct or dlatric
by adding or deducting ouch sum upo
the hundred aa may bo necessary t
produce a juat relation between all th
valuations of property in the conntj
but shall in no instance reduce the m
grogato valuation of all the townahlpi
precincts or districts below tha nggrc
gate valuation thereof aa made by th
assessors. "
Nothing can bo plainer than thai
If the F.rjt , Second , Fifth and SIxt
wards are assessed lower proportionately
atoly than the Third and Fourth , It i
the duty of the board to equalize th
total city assessment by raising tb
valuation. And if all the warda ni
assessed at less than their mark *
value , It Is equally their duty to rail
kho assessment In each to a sum whlo
will represent something like an a ]
proxlmation to a fair assessable valui
tlon.
tlon.Tho
The statute provides that the boat
shall , upon the complaint of a oltlze
that property haa boon attested to
low , review the assessment and co :
root the valuation , but It does n <
provide that no changes shall be mad
lu the returns of the assessors nnlei
such specific complaint Is filed hi rei
ord. It Is ono of the duties of tb
board , for which they rccolvo the
salaried , to ascertain through tl
county clerk's office the actual vain
tlon of property In the county. Wit
the data there obtained they can po
form tholr duties as a board of equal
xttlon undorstaudlugly and cotup
tontly.
It will bo an Infamous outrage If tl
next tax levy on property In Dough
county is made on a valuation of lei
than $15,000,000. That will bo aboi
ono-fourth of the presonVmarket valt
of real estate alono. If the board <
equalization expects to sit llko atougl
ton bottles , waiting for complain
that the assessment is too low , the
have a very low Idea of tholr povro
and duties. What the tax-payers i
Douglas county are anxious to knoi
Is whether they are to continue to 1
bled by the tax shirkers. Their on
appeal now is to the board of cqial
mtlon. Tholr next appeal , If the fir
fails to obtain relief , will bo made i
the polls. If the board of oomml
sionors fool that they have bet
elected to servo the interests of tl
tax shirking capitalists and public at
private corporations , at the expense i
the people , it Is high time that the
should bo taught a lesson ,

WHERE IS THE BLAME7
A groit deal of howl is being ralsoc
about the number cf burglaries , high
way rohbarlos and crimes against per
sons and property In Omaha , ant
wholesale charges are made of the in
efficiency and demoralization of oui
police force , There is no doubt tha
nnr police have boon both demoralize
and Inefficient , but if every office ]
was as eflhlont as the boat , the preaeni
force could not begin to patrol oni
city , Wo have only sixteen police
men In a city of 45,000 Inhabitant ?
and our revenue will not permit auj
material Increase of the forco.
Where Is the blame ? With a prop
erty vcluatlon of fully $50 OGO.OOC
3Ur city government is tied hand anc
foot through the gross violation of thi
law regarding assessments. List yoai
the levy was made on a basis of lest
than $8 000 ' 000 , whllo taking one
third as the ratio of assessment , a
least seven millions of real estate anc
personal property escaped tcx free
The houses and cottages of our labor
ers , and clerks , and mechanics won
very generally assessed at a third o
their market value , but our wealth ]
property owners and private corpora
lions shirked their taxes on the ahoul
ders of the men who were least abli
to bear the burden. Aa matters nov
stand , the property of our best tax
payers , our mechanics and laborlnj
men who Hat all they cwn , Is entirely
without police protection , and over ]
demand for an Increase of the force Ii
mot with the reply of "no funds. "
Omaha will never bo a city worth ]
the name until she learns from thi
experience of othnr cltlea how to do
rlvo a revenue sufficient to meet he ;
necessities Tax shirking and ta :
shirkers have done more to retard on :
growth than all other kflaoncca com
blnod , A merciless raising of tfei
assessments on all properly which hoi
not borne its share cf taxation is dm
as much to the mapo of our taxpayer ;
as It Is to the name and reputation o
Omabu abroad.
THhJ BUFFALO COUN1Y DECISION
To tlic Elltor cf the Ilss.
Uader the head of "An Infamom
Decision" last night's BEE published
an item from some interior nowspapei
with respect of a decision rccsntl ]
rendered by Judge Dandy , In the
Unltod States circuit court , in tht
cato of the U. P. R. R. Go. ogalnsl
Buffalo county , and in the same con
neatlon tenders the opinion of the cd
itor of the BEE In the premises. It ii
clearly evident from the statcmen' '
made , and the conclusions drawr
therefrom , that both the countrj
newspaper and the editor of the BEI
were Ignorant of the facts in the case
nnd whllo the writer , believing no In
tclligont man will consider any sap-
port of the purity of Judge Dandy'i
judlclnl character necessary , diaowm
any effort in that direction , it wonl <
bo arjnsl to the judeo not to rnaki
pubiio the true facts in the case fros
the decision of which the BEE am
the p.ipjr referred to draw nncl
rude and illogical conclusions
Tha absurdity of the intimation madi
that there cxlato between the Plat
caao EO cr.llcd aud the cnso recently do
elded any inconsistency snfliclontl ;
glaiing or ridiculous to justify any ro
ihctlon upon the court , will bo clear ) ;
apparent to the ordinary roadir who !
the two docialons are understood. Tin
Platt also referred to was one in whlcl
Platt claimed ownorahlp under thi
pre-smptlon act , the railroad clalmlni
by virtue of Ita grant from congress
By the terms of that grant any of thi
land covered by Its terms undisposed o
by the railroad company after a certali
length of time , became subject toentr ;
by any settler nndos the Uws of th
United States.
The time had elapsed ; Platt tool
possession. The railroad had , bofor
the time olapiod , mortgaged the lam
with its roadbed , etc , The qnoatloi
Involved and decided wan Had thi
road disposal of the land withii
the meaning of the lam
grant act , Judge Dandy hol <
that a mortgage of the land was i
disposal within the act ; therefor
Piatt had no right of entry. The rail
road was the owner of the equity c
redemption llko any other mortgagor
but as between the government am
the railroad company , the compan ;
had complied with the terms of th
land grant purchase , which deolaloi
was afterwards affirmed by the au
promo conrt of the United States ,
Now , what Mai the question in
volved in the case of the rallroai
company vs. Baffalo county roforrei
to ? The county claimed the right t <
tax certain lands , and had oxerolaoi
their powers of taxation , The rail
road company claimed that the lam
was not aubjoot to taxation , bocaun
the railroad not having yet paid thi
cost of surveying the land in qaes
HOP , nor the cost of the patents , the
patents had not yet Issued from thi
government ; that being so the gov
eminent had still au Interest in thi
Innd , and * the legal title. The bll
was brought by the company
to restrain the collection of the tax
The inj auction was granted on thi
grouua that the land was not snbjec
to taxation. The decision waa baaed
upon and followed the dnclalon of thi
Supreme Court of the United State
in the ease cf McShnne , treasurer o
Douglas county , va. U. P. railroad
and lu a later cane taken from thi
district of Kansas , where the hlghcs
tribunal in the United States hold tha
until the coat of the patent and o
anrvoylng the Innd waa paid the Uultei
States still had an Interest in thi
property and therefore the lauds conli
not bo taxed
Th lands In controversy in thi
Platte suit were not the same lands dc
scribed in the Buffalo county suit , an :
if they were the one c&so decided tha
they had been diipoud of within th
language of the land grunt nnd th
second decided that as long aa the cos
of the patent and fees for survey hai
not been paid they were notsubjec
to taxation. So it appears that tb
supreme court of the Unltod States i
the McShano caeo hold precisely aa
Judge Dandy did in the BdfTilo coun
ty case , and the latter was bound to
follow It.
Happening to bo In the dork's office
of thu Unltod States conrt shortly
after reading the article referred to ,
upon reference to tha records , it waa
ascertained that Bjffoto county made
no defense to the tc'.lon referred to ,
no' even filing an answer or taking
any steps toward defeating the object
of the action , The board of commla-
slonoro and Ita attorneys evidently
had more respect for the invincibility
of the snpromo conrt of the Unltod
States decision , than the editors of the
papers referred to.
