order that by the meuis thereof he may
be secured In the enjoyment of the bene
fits of organised society. The Justification
of tha demand is tbarefore found In the
protection and support between the state
and those subject -to its authority.
This quotation 1. from the highest author
ity on such matters. In our day, the laws
of all enlightened governments, and
especially of America, have been clearly de
fined, baaed snd built upon the broad
foundation of Justice and equality; Justice
as to the rights of the governed Is the sd
mlnlstratlon of the law, and equality In
the assessment snd collection of taxes
necessary for the maintenance of the gov
ernment; each Individual to pay his or her
Just proportion of the amount necessary,
rich or poor, according to the value ef thetr
possession. All must ' contribute their
share, according to tha value of their finan
cial strength, to the burden of carrying on
the business of the state.
I emphasise that It Is the duty of all
cltlsen. to carry their .hare of the main
tenance of the government under which
they live -and from which they derive their
citizenship.
Eaoallty mm4 I'alformlty.
The principle ef equality asd uniformity
runs through the law. of the nation, as
well as those of the state. Equality of
taxation means the proportioning ' of the
amount paid by each person, so that he
shall not feel that he baa been discrimin
ated against and In favor of another per
son or persons.
As the community has grown In size, s.
It has grown In wealth and power, and as
the methods of doing business have changed
greatly la the last two decades, the weak
spots In our revenue laws are shown. One
of these weak spot. 1. the provision that
we find for corporations. They are re
quired to list the property, the bonds and
the capital stock and all their assets, but
It t. allowed that they .hall deduct there
from the bonded tndebtednes. and all tha
Indebtedness of the company.
The second weak link la the provision In
tha statutes pertaining to railroads and
telegraphs, wherein they are allowed to
make their returns to the State Board of
Assessment, and that this board shall equal
ise, and that the decision of this board
ahall be binding upon each county. The
counUea of the state are not getting one-
tenth of the value of railroad property
under thla provision. This provision was
made at tha time (twenty-flv year, ago)
when there was only one or two railroads
In the state, and It waa a struggling com
munity, and tbe corporations were also
struggling. Conditions have changed, and
the Infant ha. grown until It 1. the .upreme
power In the stats. It la Important for us
to look after It.
Coraoratloaa Eajey Saeelal Privilege
Why should the corporation, bo allowed
a reduction because of their bonded ladebt
sdness when other property owner, are
bound to return the full value of their real
estate, notwithstanding the fact that it is
covered with mortgages t Ths evil and In
justice of this method Is apparent. Private
property Is visible sad the assessor as
sesses It accordingly 10, 40. 60 or 10
per cent, or as he sees It and Individuals
are not allowed to take out their bonded
Indebtedness.
One of the public service corporations In
Omaha la capitalised for $3,750,000. and
bonded tor $2,600,000. It snakes ths return
that Its stock Js not worth, anything, sad

therefore deduct, the bonded Indebtedness
from the capitalization. How much can we
tax It? And yet that public corporation
la worth In the market over $3,000,000.
In Omaha there ha. been con.iderable
agitation lately, and the matter 1. now
before the .upreme court. I shall not refer
to the valuations of the city assessor or the
tax commissioner, but I do make this point
on the public service corporations. These
corporation, that derive their life from
the people and that are maintained by the
people, who pay them tribute, do not re
turn an adequate equivalent for the privi
lege, enjoyed. 8o far In thla state they do
nnt nit anv revalues for these privileges,
and tha returns which they make to tax I
assessors are crossly Inadequate and under
value. Please remember that tbe revenue
law. demand that these corporation., .hall
be taxed at their valuation, yet what do
we find?
Look at the Douglas county valuation on
those public service corporations, the street
railway, the gas company, the water com- i tion in pursuance of tne provisions ot sec
,k. nht -nmnanv and the i tion 40 of "An act to provide a system of
' - -
telephone company. It has been clearly
established what tbe value, of these cor
poration, are In the market; that the
stocks and the bonds are worth so much,
hence the property worth so much, but
the return by the assessors and the treas
urer and county commissioner, of Douglas
county on these public service corporations
1. oniy, in tha case of tbe street railway, a
little more than 1 per cent of Its market
value; of the ga. company not 3 per cent
of It. market value (that at which they
can go out and sell for at any time), and
of the water company, 4 per cent. Tne
statutes of our state, the law, aays: Assess
It for Its cash value; that which yon can
sell It for.
These condition, also exist In Lincoln,
and, I dare say. In Beatrice, Hastings,
Orand Island, Norfolk and other places.
As It A erects Railroads.
Regarding the administration of the law
as far a. It applies to railroad.. When I
got to looking this up I wa. astonished.
The total value returned by the State
Board of Assessment upon railroad proper
tie, and telegraph properties In the state
of Nebraska U a little over $28,000,000.
Nearly 6,800 miles of railroad traverse this
stats, not counting 1.000' mile, of side
tracks. The telegraph lines parallel the
railroads. The market value of these
properties a. evidenced by the stock, snd
bonds which are sold upon or In the finan
cial markets of the world, makes the ap
proximate value of these properties In the
state of Nebraska nearly $250,000,000.
Let us take up the Union Pacific first.
The State Board of Equalization has as
sented ths Union Pacific s little more than
the rest of them. I find that H baa In the

system la something like 8,400 miles In this
state, nearly too miles. The bond, of thl.
company are all selling above par. Take
that as a basis for the valuation ot the
property, snd I find that the capltalizatlos
and bonded Indebtedness of the Union Pa.

$78,000 s mile, but tn the stats ot No'

In Omaha, Lincoln, Hastings, Fremont
and the other towns where these roads

toad companies to return on the general
theory of so much a mile for right-of-way.
i Let me give for general Information the
tax returns maae in uougias county xor
1001 by the Union Pacific railroad:
It is hereby certified that the folowing
Is a true and correct statement of the
valuation and assessment of the property
of the Union Pacific Railway company in
Dour las county for the year 1901. as de
termined by the State Board of Equallza-
revenue. aDoroved Marcn L 187H. amended
February 28, 1891:
83.4H miles of railroad and telegraph line.
Including roadbed, right-of-way, main and
Bide tracks and turnouts, depot grounds
and buildings, section and tool houttes, re
pair shops, warehouses, rolling stok of
all kinds and descriptions and all other
personal property belonging to the corpo
ration necessary for the construction and
repair of Its line of road, assessed at the
rate of $9,800 per mile.
Think of It! A return made by the Union
Pacific railroad roadbed, right-of-way,
sidetracks, depot grounds, rolling stock,
telegraph at so much per lineal mile, the
right-of-way being 100 feet wide. Yet In
Douglas county the Union Pacific own. the
bridge across the Missouri river, half of
which Is In Douglas county, the car shops,
the many acres of terminal grounds is
Omaha and In South Omaha all assessed
at so much per mile, the sum total In
Douglas county being thirty-three miles,
the roadbed and depot grounds alone in
portions of the city ot Omaha being worth
In money $10,000 per city lot, 66x132 feet.
Think of It! A total valuation of the Union
Pacific railroad In Douglas county of only
$328,000, when the bridge, ths roadbed, the
sidetracks, the real estate and the right-of-
way 1. worth at least $6,000,0001 Only
$328,000 a less value than this railroad
claims its depot building In Omaha costl
Other Glarlaa Iaeaalltlee.
Let me enumerate some more glaring
Inequalities in valuation of corporate prop
erty In Douglas county.
The B. M. railroad returns a valuation
of only $77,000, yet the value of Ita prop
erty Is worth many times that figure. Ths
Missouri Pacific and tbe Belt Line return
sixteen mile, of right-of-way at s value
of $107,000. yet the Belt Line railroad Is
worth in the millions. The Omaha Bridge
A Tarminal eomnanr returns s valus of
$17,000, yet this property is worth la cash
considerably over $1,000,000,
i k.. nnt had time to look Into the
returns of Dodge county for Fremont, but
It Is safe to say the return for taxation by
the railroad companies is not one-testa of
the fair value, ' The total return of the
railroads la the city of Lincoln is only
$100,136. .1. it possible that this Is all ths
vslue of ths railroad ana terminal prop
erty In the city of Lincoln for nil the rail
I roads? Would It not be more nearly s
valuation to aay $2,000,0007

the value of each mile and then fix a
general ratio. The valuation fixed by the
State Board of Equalization In the west
ern part of the state 1. $3,000 per mile, in
the central portion of the state about $4,000
per mile, and In the eastern portion of the
state a little more, making a total general
average valuation per mile of railroad In
the state of $4,700 per mile. Not counting
turnouts, aide track., depot grounds,
bridges, the structural value per mile for
the main track would be far In excesa of
tbl. figure. It Is a well known fact that
under the most favorable circumstances
you cannot build railroads at the present
day for. less than $12,000 per mile and all
trunk lines are being built now at a cost
of from $20,000 to $30,000 per mile. Thus
you will see that the valuation returned by
the State Board of Equalisation 1. not
more than one-third ot the structural cost
value of the railroads, not allowing for
side tracks, brldgea, turnouts, terminal
grounds; yet if that is not sufficleat, tbe
rolling stock Is included In the grand total
of the average value of $4,700 per mile.
Items of rolling stock ot the railroads
which they have returned to the auditor
comprlae so many engines, so many box
cars, and so on. If we take this valuation,
allowing 16 or 20 per cent from the price
that we can go out upon the market and
buying rolling stock for, we have a valus
of rolling stock, according to the number
of engines, box cars, etc., returned to the
auditor of the atate, approximately $20,-
000,0000. In thl. estimate I have valued
the engines at $9,000 each, when engine.
will coat anywhere trom $8,000 to $16,000, or
an average of $12,000, and I have mads a
like allowance In all Items of rolling stock,
and yet here we nave a value of approxi
mately $20,000,000 of ths one Item of rolling
stock, which ha. been covered up by the
blanket valuation of $4,700 per mile. I am
not singling out any onS road. All are
in the same general condition ot not paying
their Just proportion of taxes. If the
law 1. Inadequate it must be remedied; if
adequate, then It should be administered
according; to it. letter and Intent.
-What Saoald B Don.
How are we going to bring about the
needed change In the laws?- There must
be a quickening of the public conscience.
It is necessary for u. first to consider that
it Is the duty of all to pay their Juat dues;

upon an equal baals; third, ws must each
