10 THE OMAHA DAILY HEKi THtTHSPAV, FKHItrAUY fl. 100.1. REPLIES TO RAILROAD MEN Lawyer Mclntovh Continue tta Argument on Railnad Taxation. SAYS CITY ASSESSMENT IS DISTINCT pa. .ace af Koim Roll 171, He Ation, Will Not Aflert AMrumrnta (or Stale, oanty and Reboot Dlatrlet Tain. J. H. Mcintosh, after reading the state ment published by the tat representative of the railroads yesterday morning aaid: "The rallroadii. In replying to my article on H. R. 11, published In the Omaha pa pera Tueaday, keep on dodging the Issue ralaed by thla bill Juki aa they want to keep on dodging their city taxea. "They talk about state, county and school railroad taxes, which bare nothing to do with thla hill, and which thla bill does not affect. Sections 3! and 40 of the revenue law require the State Board of Equaliza tion to value all railroad property In the atate for alate, county and achool purposes. H. H. 171 does not t,ouch or affect sections 19 and 40 of the revenue law. After thla bill is passed the State Board of Equaliza tion will value all railroad property within the atate for atate, county and school pur poe.es, Just aa It did before It was passed. The atate, county anC a-hool district rail road taxea will be levied, collected and equal In amount after this bill Is passed. Just as before. H. R. 171 relates to tnetro polltaa city railroad taxea and does not re late to or affect railroad, atate, county and achool taxea. "The railroads do not undertake to show hot H.' R. 171 would deprive the state, any county or a alngle achool district of one penny Of 'railroad taxes, but they evade tbla question and call H. R. 171 'the Omaha echeme.' Then they say, first, it Is un lawful because it Is double taxation, and, aecond, 'Is Impracticable because It under takes to separate an Inseparable entity.' . I aball answer these In their order. Whf Do Railroads Worry f "As to the claim that It would be un lawful for tbe same assessor to value rail road property within cltlea for city taxes that valuea all other property within the city for that purpose. If that were 'really ao If the 'Omaha acheme' were really un lawful or the railroads thought it waa, doea anyone believe they would be giving themselves so much trouble about it? Doea anyone believe they would think It. neces sary to offer their checks for the Insertion of railroad-prepared misrepresentations as 'local or editorial" artlclea in the press of the state? "It did not worry them much when the city assessor of Omaha tbla year, disregarding the existing discriminating law aa uncon stitutional, valued railroad property as he valued other property. The railroads, with perfect equanimity, stood by without a lobby, without paid editorials, almost with out a word of objection, and law this done, because, believing it to be unlawful, they knew they could again, aa they had so often done In the past resort to the federal courts to shield thorn from the exercise of state authority. And their suite for thla pur pose are now pending. So unconstitutional lawi don't much worry the railroads. "It Is not proposed to 'withdraw the value of the terminal properties from tho outside mileage,' for either atate, county or achool purposes, or to affect the law taxing rail roads for atate, county and achool purposes. Thla bill relates only to metropolitan city taxes. It has no bearing on atate, county or school taxes, or upon the law under which tbey are assessed. By confusing taxea for city purposea with taxes for state, county and school purposes the railroads evidently hop to mislead the legislators. Therefore there la no analogy between the wheat Illustration the railroads give and taxing railroads for city purposes. Treble Taxation for All. "In metropolitan cities every taxpayer pays not only double taxes, but treble taxea, namely, eute taxea, county and achool taxea nd city taxea.' These taxes are each levied by a different authority and for a different purpose. How property la valued for one of them doea not affect the way of valuing it for another. Hence when we ask that the aame officer that values other city property for city taxea value also railroad property within the city tor city taxea we are merely asking tor them the aame thing that exlsta for us. "As to H. R. 171 being Impracti cable. Suppose it la; then It won't hurt the railroads. Why ahould they spend money for false 'local or editorial' Items, and maintain a powerful lobby at Lincoln at great roat, to defeat something that Is Im practicable? But why ahould it be Im practicable for the aame assessor to value railroad property for city taxea that values Other city property for city taxea? "On the ground that- It Is Impracticable for the city assessor to value railroad city property for city taxes, do the railroads expect to keep on dodging city taxea? If It la Impracticable, then why leave It with the atate board? The logic of thla preten sion Is the first hnneal argument I have aa yet beard from the railroads; for It means of course that because It Is Impracticable for tbe rity assessor to value their property for city taxea It must be Impracticable for aaa Porfccti E-SoalSh Y Trie 15 Of Dr. Pierce's favorite Frcscpfpilcn ktr M a'atww k .eve t -a.k. tm, a-k -. a.. ... .... w a.

Iletvreen Railroads and Assessor. "This bill, however, does not raise the queitlon ss to how the city assessor shall value railroad property tor rity taxation, or what the valuation shall be. The bill merely clothes the city assessor with au thority to value It. After the bill becomes a law, then the question of the method to be pursued will be up between the rail roads and the assessor, Juit as It Is now up between every other city taxpayer and the assersor. If the city assessor does not pursue the right method In valuing railroad property for city taxes, the railroads will have recourse to the Board of Equalisation, i Juet aa every other taxpayer has. If the j Board of Equalization doea not pursue the right method, the railroads will have re course to the' courts Just as every other taxpayer has. And there they, like other taxpayers, will surely get Justice. "Why not be fair to tbe railroads and put them on an equality with other city taxpayers for purposes of city taxation? But Is it Impracticable to value railroad terminals within cities for city taxes? "It wasn't Impracticable for the railroads themselves to value them when they were defeating the maximum freight law in tbe federal court. Then, without hesitation, they separated this 'Inseparable entity.' The I'nion Pacific then valued Ita terminals In Omaha at $10,000,000 at least, and swore they 'could not be bought for $15,000,000 If they were vacant.' This It did to defeat a stat law, and was successful. There fore, why t the terminals be valued for city fate? "SuppofA terminals here, as In St. Louis, ha v. '.'& to a Separate Company; would they bare to go untaxed because it waa Impracticable to value them? If not, then what difference does it make in valu ing the terminal property for city taxea that the same company owning the termi nate also owns tracka outside of the city? "The question, however, of the valuation the city assessor shall put on railroad property for city taxea la not now perti nent. That will come up after this bill be comes a law. And la there anything in the conduct of the railroads In looking after their interests before thin legislature, in dicating that they may not be able to take care of themselves before the city as sessor? Put them on an equality with the Individual and let them try it." The Nest Varht Rarea.

ALL DENY STORY OF UNION Employers of Fretajht Handlers Say Men Were Dlaeharajed for Good Reasons. Employers of freight handlers say there la nothing In tbe report that men have been discharged by them because of mem bership in the Freight Handlers' union. Said C. H. Pickens of the Faxton ft Gallagher company: "The men we discharged were let out for reasons entirely different from that assigned by members of the union. We did not know that they were members of the organisation and have made no dis tinction between those who are in the union and those who are not." , w. 8. Wright of the Wrlght-Wilhelmy company said: ' "The man who waa discharged from our employ, and there was only one, waa let out by the foreman for personal reasona. The man had been In the employ of the house. before and had quit when his serv lces"were needed, and now when there la a comparatively dull time he waa dis charged, his servlcea being no longer needed and the foreman feeling that. In view of his prevloua record, the house waa under no obligation to keep him, only to have him throw up his Job at a busy time." The Lee-Glass-Andreesen company aaid that when the man was discharged by them It waa not known thst ha waa a memhor of the union and that the firm had no In tention of discriminating. Another Jobber aaid: "While the ten dency of tbe age la to organisation, and a man working for $1.50 a day la not to be envied nor to be blamed If he aeeks to Im prove his condition, aa large employers of this, class of labor we must resist any at tempt on the part of the men to apectfy the hours at which they will work. We do not care so much for the price, but must be able to use men Sundays and holidays." N. J. Weller, for fourteen years In the employ of the Paxton-Oallagber company! as a freight handler and In other rapaci ties, takea exception to the printed state ment of C. II. Pickens, representing that company, aa to the cause of the recent dis charge of the men. and insists that In his rate at least it waa because of affiliation with the union. Mr. Weller aays: "Mr. Pickens slatea that the men were let out for reasons entirely different from that assigned by members of the union. In contradiction of this, I am willing to take my oath that Foreman James T. !.ee ssld to me ani to Thomas Jennings Faturday evening, when be discharged us; 'It Is no use for you men to try to deny It. I know the name of every, man who at tended that meeting Thursday night. I know that you two were prime movers and I am going to let yos bo) h out.' " Kseelleat ea and Rerla-e.
