ASSESSMENT OF
RAILROAD PROPERTY
HOW IT IS ARRIVED AT BY THE STATE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION
The Method Prescribed by Law for Its Apportionment to the Several
Counties and Municipalities.
(Issued Under Authority of the Railroads of Nebraska.)
It has been charged that the State Board of Equali
zation has for years pursued a haphazard method In
fixing the assessed valuation of railroad property for
state and county taxation and that such property has
been virtually exempted from municipal taxation. An In
vestigation of the matter will readily show that this
charge has no foundation In fact.
In pursuance of the requirements of law the railroad
companies have each year submitted for the considera
tion of the board sworn statements or schedules of their
tangible property, setting forth in detail the mileage of
main and Bide tracks in each county, the number of
depots, station houses, tool houses, stock yards, etc.,
and complete lists of the rolling stock and moveable
property on the right-of-way and depot grounds. They
haVe also made to the state auditor statements under
oath of the revenues of the companies, gross and net,
their capitalization and the Interest paid on their bonded
Indebtedness.
The valuatlms reported In the property schedules have
been recently criticised, but the variations in such valua
tions are easily explained by the fact that some com
panies report what they believe to be the proper as
sessable value of the various Items, In conformity with
the assessment of other property of the state, while
other companies approximate the actual value of the
items, depending upon the board to fix the scale of uni
formity. .
The board has never relied upon the valuations re
ported In the railroad schedules as a guide in fixing its
assessments, but has always diligently sought the most
accurate sources of information within Its reach. Tt has
In some cases had before it the data showing actual cost
of construction of the properties and in others the care
fully prepared estimates of expert engineers. For several
years past the respective boards have had access to and
have conslderel the testimony In the maximum rate cases
where the roads were not likely to show diminutive
valuations.
In the cat); of the I'nlon Paclflo the record shows
that the present assessed valuation of its main line
represents more than 25 per cent of the cost of repro
duction as given in the testimony In the Nebraska "rate
case," and as 10 per cent has been shown In recent
controversies to be amply sufficient for the equalized
valuation of . the tangible property, the additional 15 per
cent or thereabouts is either excess assessment or it
may be said that this three-fifths additional assessment
may cover all possibilities of Intangible values that may
pertain to the property as a "going concern," Its earn
ing capacity, good will. etc.
80 in the same estimates or testimony relating to the
Union Pacific' line from Kearney to the Wyoming
state line, which comprises over one-half ot the mile
age across the state, the testimony shows that the as
sessed valuation of J3.SG0 per mile through those counties
of the railroad on that section of the line. It Is, how
ever, incorrect and misleading to state that any single
portion of the road either In Douglas county or in
Cheyenne or Kimball county Is assessed at $9,800 per
mile.
This rate per mile, as entered on the tax lists, repre
sents merely the distributive share accruing to the county
or municipality of the entire valuation of the whole
road, which distributive share is explicitly designated by
the laws of the state as a ratable mileage proportion of
the valuation of the entire line. In this wny the
terminals In Omaha (except headquarters, shops and
vacant terminal lands, which are assesed locally) are
dlstributt-rt ami taxed In every city, village and school
(listrlrt nlor.g the whole line from the eastern to the
wtstern b . and try of the state.
This nwthol of apportionment Is upheld by the su
preme court 4n a recent decision relating to the RulO
bridge. In the following language:
"What was the purpose of the legislature In requiring
the rlaht-of-way, roadbed and superstructure of a rail
way to be assessed as a unit? The common sense view
of the subject would seem to be that such purpose was
to enable the proper authorities to distribute the avails
ot taxation equitably among all the municipal subdi
visions through which a road may pass in the ratio
which the number of miles within such subdivision
bears to the total number of miles of road within the
state, treating each mllo as equal In value to every
other mile and regardles of whence came the power
undpr which any particular portion of the road is con
structed. A railroad might have vast terminals at one
point, worth as much as the remainder of the line,
though It extended through a dozen counties. The sub
division In whl h these terminals are located is not, under
this law, permitted to reap an advantage over other
localities by reason of the more accident of location, but
must share Its advantages with these others pro rata.
That, evidently, la the reason behind and under this
legislation.
It has been alleged that the outside oountles have
been "buncoed" by this method of distribution. A
careful study and analysis of the foregoing statements
of facts and figures must convince the people of those
counties that this form of buncoing leaves little to be
desired except more of the same kind.
