Third The valuation that shall be placed to the credit of such township, precinct, city, village, school and road 'district in the County. And still when asked about the relation of this bill to municipal taxation of rail roads members of the committee will per sist In saying the bill does not touch municipal taxation of railroads. Ralaea Insurance Companies, Th bill assesses fire and life insurance companies on the basis of their gross In stead of eet earnings, which will make a vast difference, it Is held, in the volume of taxes these concerns pay. One plaa in this is to 'catch those companies whose agents make their returns directly to their foreign offices. The bill exempts horn mil- tnal companies. Foreign fire insurance companies are taxed locally on their gross receipts of premiums, foreign life on 2 per cent of their gross premiums, and their assessment is payable to the state treas urer. The Nebraska life and fire com panies, except fraternal or mutual, aro also assessed locally on their gross receipts of premiums. . . ' ' .'. Now that the revenue bill Is introduced, the question of the Omaha tax. commis sioner bill, bouse roll 339, being tacked onto this measure, has again been .raised. It' does not meet the approval of the com mitteemen who framed the revenue bill. Sears, an avowed frlead of municipal tax ation of railroad terminals, deprecates tho wisdom of such a plan. He said today he hoped nothing of this sort would be veder tajtcn. The sentiment seems to be In favor uf having each bill go It alone and stand or fall without the support or disadvantage of the other, and that's nbout how it will come out. ' Look to Omaha Men. But still the fate of house roll 330 and the Attitude of certain members looms up as a most pertinent and interesting prop osition, entirely too interesting to suit somt of these members. The Douglas county men naturally are looked to to assume a posi tive leadership of this Omaha bill to give Omaha and every other municipality in the state the right of taxing railroad terminals at their fair cash value. Are they looked to ia vain? That Is a question of much moment, and upon It hangs the political fate of some people. This house roll 330, as a man. remarked today, is going to be a Jonah to political plans end ambitions. Of course It. has been known all along that the republicans, so vastly in xhs ma jority in both houses, would not be a unit os this proposition. They need sot . aod yet command sufficient strength to pass the bill. It is new believed that when the show-down comes the majority of the mi nority will be found against H. R. 330, From choice? .'Wcll.that is doubted. From political wisdom or expediency? That is doubted, too. .... Kfnnedy,' the lone Douglas county demo crat, appears to be earnestly working for the passage of this bill. He has endeav 'ored to get-4h- Douglas county members to caucus on It and shape definite and systematic plans for carrying It through. But he haa not succeeded. The Douglas county delegation actually has never held a caucus, to dedda what Its course would be on this, the most Important measure to their constltutents before the. legisla ture. Mr.-. Kennedy today aent .word to Chairman Gosa of the Omaha city commit tee to g-n his men together on this thing at once or he might decldo to go it alone and do what he could for the success of the bill. , l.oemls Iiye Dawn.

On this proposition Involved In H. R. 330 but one set of Individuals seemed to be systematically at work that Is the rail roads and their lobbyists. They are putting in faithful licks day and night. They have republican lobbyists to work among-repub-llcan members and fusionlnt lobbyists to work among fuslonlst members, so they ought to do fairly well. Becher,' fuslonlst from Platte county, has flatly refused to sign the minority report from the house oommittee on cities and towns against the Roberts amendment, in serting the tax commissioner exemption clause In the South Omaha charter bill. Tet he says he may vote for H. R. 330.

R. 172, penalizing the docking of horses' tails by a fine of $100 to $300 or imprisonment of one year, -has been recommended for passage by . the house committee on miscellaneous subjects. It has become a very popular measure and scarcely any doubt is entertained as to Its passage. Alfred Millard, president of the Omaha Humane society, has addressed a letter to Mr. Ten Eyck, making an urgent appeal for the passage of the bill. Mr. Millard calls attention to the fact that in Massa chusetts heavy fines, are imposed for this Inhumane practice and that Colarado for bids the importation of a horse so mal treated. - A petition signed by several hundred of Nebraska's active citizens wss also re ceived by Mr. Ten lyck, pleading for the passage of the bill.
