PACIFIC EXPRESS C0VIPANY APPEARS Representative Ways that Real Estate Tax C ommittee's Valuation tVould Be Practical Confiscation of Company's Property. ASSESSMENT OF TlirJ TAX COMMIS SIONER FOR 1903. Real estate ersonal Total Railroads Exclusive of railroads. Tax Commissioner Fleming has now so far completed his work as to show 'he total figures of the assessment for 1903, as e adjusted It without the revisions which ave been, made by the Board of Review. Above are given the figures. These figures show a marked Increase over those of last year, which was entirely the valuation of personal property. The ssessracnt of last year was made on the basis of 40 per cent of the full value of he property, and this year the policy adopted was to assess all property at Its fair cash value. Following are the figures of last year multiplied by 2ft for the pur pose of comparison, that the full valuation of the property be shown: :enl estate $72,223,125 ersonal 21,&17,U37 Gifts for Men luumers. zac in Z4.Nl: rancv iinn dera, B"c to 12.00; kid and knit gloves unweiius. plain and fancy handles i.ou to j.w; Handsome neckwear all kinds, 25c to 11.00; white and colored shirts. 11.00 and 11.50; silk and linen ..mmruniri., JH! 10 II.OO; OUtlni flannel night shirts, pajamas of outin iinimei, cnaviui or madras, $i.uo suit a suit.

In the aggregate the total, exclusive of tho railroad property, will not be ma terially affected by tho revisions of the Board of Review and will certainly not be reduced and there will, therefore, be close to 1 100,000,000 of property to be assessed without Including the railroads. George D. Patterson appeared before tho board yesterday as the representative of the Pacific Express company, which cor poration the board had been asked by the Real Estate exchange to assess at $12,000,- 000 upon its capital stock of $6,000,000. Mr. Patterson said that his company la cap Italled for $6,000,000 and Is owned by the railroad companies, aa had' been rep resented. The stock, he said, had averaged less than 6 per cent per year earnings for many years past. Other states had taxed the company on Its earnings and some on its mileage and some on its property. He called attention to the fact that It waa pro posed to place an assessment upon the company in this city which would mean $55,000 of taxes, and then stated that the local business of the company in Nebraska was but $29,000 a year and the interstate business originating In Nebraska $60,000 per year, making a total of $89,000 in this state. He said that the average of the earnings of the company in the United States had been $46 per mile and the aver age in Nebraska $58 per mile. In Colo rado the company was assessed at the rate of $55 per mile. Mr. Patterson declared that ha conoid ered the only fair method of taxation of his company would be on Its mileage. Tho case was taken under advisement. Appears for the Elkhorn. J. B. Sbeean appeared on behalf of the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis Omaha and the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Val ry rauroaa companies, but merely in a special way, to file protests against the Jurisdiction of the tax commissioner and Board of Review, as had been done in the cases of the other railroad companies cited. The documents filed by Mr. Sheean wero In comparison with those previously filed remarkable for their brevity and, as he explained, not Intended to educate the board on the general subject of railroad taxation or political economy, but to apply to the present case and situation. They were In a general way alike and merely set forth the fact that the respective rail road companies in question have been assessed on their properties through the action of the State Board of Equalization, with a protest against any assessment on the part of the tax commissioner or the ac ceptanca of any such assessment by the Board of Review. Mr. Sbeean stated briefly, in presenting the protests, that it appeared to the offl cera of tho Elkhorn company that the as sessment of $360,000 per mile placed upon the road by the tax commissioner was un Justly high. The company had but three miles of road within the city limits and that road could be replaced at a cost of from $20,000 to $50,000 per mile. The earnings of the road last year, he said were but $285,000, which would make the proportion to be credited to the three miles in Omaha about $615 per mile. This part of the Elkhorn road, he said, was only branch line anyway and tho main line was from Missouri Valley to tne black Hills The affairs of the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha road were not dls cussed In detail by Mr. Sheean, except as to the present value of its terminals as compared to their value in years past. Mrlatosh Questions Sheean. J. H. Mcintosh, representing ths Real Estate exchange, asked Mr. Sheean if the terminals were at valuable now as they were in 194, and the railroad attorney said that while he was not an expert on that subject, and would consider that Mr. Mcintosh's opinion should be as good as his own, he would say he thought all properly In Omaha should show an In crease In vslue In that period of years. As In the other railroad cases, Mr. Mc intosh Introduced records of the United States court with testimony of officers of the Omsha road as to the value of certain portions of the property of the company. In one place In this recorded testimony John B. Berry wss shown to have stated that the terminals of the Omaha road hal cost $285,500 prior to 1886 and were at he present time much more valuable. Mr. Shean asked Mr. Mcintosh if he would please state his own opinion of the value the terminals and to this Mr Mcintosh nswered that he waa only a general at torney, but if be were a railroad attorney e would probably be Informed on those matters and qualified to answer such ques tions. Mr. Sbeean then asked: "Do you ecllne to give me your honest opinion of the value of those terminals, Mr. Mcin tosh?" To this question Mr. Mcintosh made no reply, but resumed his reading of estlmony. The Board of Review yesterday com pleted its valuation of the personal prop erty of the national banks of the city for the assessment of .1903. This assessment has been adjusted by the board on the fig ures furnished by the banks, but has been fixed in round numbers for convenience in pportlonlng the amounts among the stock holders of the different Institutions. The amount of capital stock and real es tate holdings of each of the banks and the aluatlon placed by the .board upon their property, respectively. Is shown in the table below The totals show a decrease from the flmiren of Inst venr. which In partly due to a reduction of .the capital WllitC LI tl C tl Tflble PiCCCS stock of the Nebraska National bank by T.!EC Why Not Uoxico?
