TOE OMAHA DAILY BEEt SUNDAY, JUNE 15, 1902. READY FOR THE CONVENTION Some of ths Bsjmblicaa Candidate Beach Lincoln and Open Eeadqnarteia. LANCASTER FUSIONISTS DEMORALIZED Beveraer Savage Esprnart His Views a Ik Qaestlea ( Railroad Tas- aaas Was Breanat. (Tram a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, June 14. (Special.) The first Immediate alalia of the approach of the re publican atate convention were visible at the hotels today. Borne of the candidates have arrived and prepared to open headquar ters Monday and others are exptcted to morrow. Chairman Lindsay has bee at the committee headquarters making the necessary arrangementa for the meeting. "I look for a big convention, to fact, an unusually big one." said Mr. Lindsay. . "There are 1.04 delegates and I have re ceived assurances that nearly all of them will be here." The committee has arranged to give each delegation one-half as many apectators' tickets as there are members of the delega tion. These tickets have already been ap portioned and are at the state headquar ters, where they will be given out when demand Is msde for them. Fa.loalsts Demoralised. The demoralization of the fuslonlsts of Lancaster county was painfully apparent this afternoon, when a few of the faithful got together In the Auditorium to nominate candidates for county offices and for the legislature. They elected delegates to the state conventions, adopted a few resolutions and discussed a few miscellaneous matters, but nominated no candidates. The democrats met In one side of the hall nd the populists In the other. Each little gathering was presided over by a "chair man," and a permanent organization in miniature was effected. In the populist crowd a resolution was Introduced by A. K. Sheldon, declaring against a continuance of the fusion arrange- rorni, dui waa speeuuj lauicu. iuo uric gatlon named by the populists is unin tructed. The democrats authorized General Victor Vlfqualn to came the party delegation to represent the -county at the state conven tion. General Vlfqualn is an avowed can didate for governor and the action at the '.county convention means that he will have 'the entire Lancaster county vote pledged ' to his support. A little interest was Injected Into the proceedings by J. A. McNerney. who pro duced a resolution directing attention to the fact that the presiding officer of the I'nited States senate, by directing Senator Dietrich to sit down prevented the senator from "standing up for Nebraska." Resolutions were carried In both conven tions to meet again on September 12, when, it la understood, another effort will be mads to nominate a set of candidates. Governor Renews Objection. Governor Savage has renewed his objec tion to the prison labor contract recently maae w:m me Lee Broom ana uusier com pany ny me state tsoara oi ruouc Lnas and Buildings and has Informed a member of the board that If the agreement is not withdrawn the wsrden will be Instructed to discontinue the service. The governor and Secretary Jarsh dis cussed the caae this morning and the for mer asserted vehemently that he was not satisfied to let the Vnatter rest. He aald the aame thing, ho'wever, two weeks ago. pui DCTcriaeims no steps nave wen uno to either withdraw tha contract or autw ' Jeet It to a legal test. Ths Board of Public Lands and Buildings will probably allow the governor to take the Initiative. With the exception of the governor all of the members voted for and algned the contract and thua far have ahown no disposition to have it annuled. lavaat on Hallroad Aaeeeament. Governor Savage this afternoon gave out prepared Interview In which be dis cusses and defends his position on the rail road assessment matter. Among other things he says: "To be frank about It I was much better satisfied with the original answer of the Board of Equalization In the Rosewater mandamus case than with the amended one. My. position on railroad taxation Is pretty well known to ths people of Ne braska. I believe that every Interest in the state abould pay its just proportion of the taxes and the mors I study the ques tion, and , I have . atudied it many long, weary hours, the more I am satisfied that ome of the railroads of Nebraska are not and have not sines 1SS3 been paying their full share of the taxes. I did aot agree with the assessment this year. I contended that it the railroads vera paying their Just proportion of taxea la 1890, which was about one-sixth of the total for the state, and I have reason to believe that they were then aatlsfled, al lowing this to be true and that ill other property of the atate has increased in pro portion to the railroads and the fact that the total assessment has been decreased Hair - Food .: Falling hair, thin hair, gray hair starved hair.

Again, with ths 'prospect that the assessment of other property in the state win be Increased some millions of dollars this year, aa It should be, I believe that the board would have been Justified In Increasing the rail road assessment at leset 11,700.000 and so expressed myself at the board meeting and I still think that when the returns are all In they will prove the Justness of my posi tion. In the face of the fact that our state indebtedness Is now about twenty times our constitutional limit and still Increas ing, even with economical administration of state affairs, it la very evident that there la aometblng radically wrong and that aoma classes or all are not paying state tax enough. The mandamus suit Is all right, as It will most likely settle a much disputed question. I did not at the time of the meeting of the board and do not now believe that the statutes of Nebraska provide any way for ascertaining ths value of franchises. I am In favor of taxing franchises ths same as any other property of value, but the question Is, how is the board to find out the value of them? Our first answer stated the fact that wa did not assess the railroad franchises and we asked the court to place a construction upon the constitution and laws and lay down a reasonsble rule for following them. I believe the board did Its duty aa tar as the franchises are concerned, aa far as it understood the lawa and aa far as the laws go. Valae of the Railroads. y "According to the latest reports on file the railroads of Nebraska are worth $253, 000.000. which, I understand. Includes the vslue of the franchises. My understand ing of a franchise Is this: Suppose a cer tain railroad company has a line 100 miles long, and that It would require $2,000,000 to duplicate It. Now, supposing thst roal has issued bonds to the amount of $1,750, 000 and stork to the amount of $1,600,000 more, and that the stocks and bonda are selling, on the market at par. That rail road Is worth $3,2S0,OO0, yet it could be rebuilt complete for $2,000,000. The addi tional $l.i;0,0CiO Is the value of the fran chise, an intangible something, but never theless a valuable aometblng because peo ple will pay their money for it. It Is the railroad's right to do business aa a com mon carrier, to occupy a certain narrow strip of land for the railroad right-of-way. Of course, this franchise is not worth anything unless thetroad la making money, but whenever you find a road paying inter est on Its bonds and declaring a dividend of about 4 per cent a year you can depend on It that it is not losing money." The governor concludes bis statement with the following: "As governor I have tried earnestly and conscientiously to do my duty. I have kept close watch on the varloua matters which come under my su pervision and I believe there was never a time In the history of the state when the Institutions were better managed and at so little cost as at present In a few In stances I have been harshly criticised for doing what In my Judgment I considered Just and right and time will peihayS brlug a kindlier construction on this phase of my administration, feeling that no matter what others msy eay, my conscience Is clear." Reward for Mnrderer. Governor Savage thla afternoon Issued a proclamation offering a reward of $200 for the arrest of the murder of 15-year-old Waltermer Harbold. The boy was killed on the morning of June II while passing along the road just south of Grand Island. He resided In Campbell. Artafig under Instructions from the board of directors of the Union Commercial club.
