Second The .average, valuation for such
mileage per nils.
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. ,

The ' democrats, t was supposed, would
be lead on the floor of the house by Loomls
of Dodge, but Loomls has completely with
drawn from any position that could be con
strued Into that of a leader. He appears
calmly indifferent upon the whole matter

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.

"that we are in; the union, but npt of It
except to pay taxes.".

of power In national republican conventions
was held by the machln ot the south, and
thst machine ii oomposed of negroes.
When the people of the south lose patience
and do "cruel, bitter, fearful, fiendish and
savage things there Is a howl from men
who know nothing and who have never
been south of the Potomac."
Continuing, and addressing the republican
side, he said: "If this policy ot negro
equality Is carried out and if some of
them could be given places in the cabinet I
would vote for them.
"I will vote to confirm Booker Wasn-
Ington as secretary of anything. Let ut
hsve s negro, s genuine negro, not a mu
latto or hybrid. Then let us make them
officers of the army and navy. Let us
glve them a pro rata share of all the good
Jobs, wherever they extst, without regard
- to local conditions," but, he added, "noth
ing of the sort will be done."

The congress will be in session through

marked by eeveral warm contests, ths
principal one being ovef ths office of presl-dent-general.
Mrs. Charles W. Fairbanks
is a candidate to succeed herself tor the
second time. She slready hat served one
term as presldent-generad, and one term
before that as vice president-general, and
ths opponents to her re-election claim that
her tenure in both offices operates as two
continuous terms in the meaning of an
amendment to the constitution in prevent
ing the officers from serving mors than
two continuous terms.
The sdvocates of her election contend
that the amendment was not retroactive
snd that she is therefore eligible. Mrs.
Daniel Manning and Mrs. Donald Mc
Lean, both of New York City, will be con
spicuous la, the. campaign for president-
general.

Mrs. Fairbanks, in her address referred
to the influx bf Italians, Bohemians, Poles
snd Russians in .Greater New .York, and

ferred to pending . amendments relating to
limitations on the length of servioe ot
officers snd to change the date of the .an
nual meeting to either the week in which
April 19 falls of to the first Monday in
May, and recited tha arguments of both
sides on the latter question, but made no
recommendation beyond . saying - that "all
will regret our failure to meet in . that
week in which Washington's birthday oc
curs. ,
; During the year there were .8,730 mem
bers sdded to the rolls. She said that
the approach of the centennial of ths
Louisiana purchase is absorbing the atten
tion, not alone of ths Daughters of Mis
souri, but the Daughters of every chspter
in the United States, and urged a hearty
co-operation ot the 40,000 . women of the
