When It became , necessary to amend 1!. R 171, the predecessor of H. R. 830. evtendlng the right of levying a direct tax on railroad terminals to all municipal itles In the state Instead of just to Omaha, South Omaha and Lincoln, as the original measure, provided, It became clear to all that neither bill "Would ever get through the. legislature. The railroads have fought this one proposition as they have no other before this legislature. From long before the . session began (hey . have bad their lobbies and tax bureaucrats . busily en gaged In promulgating war. In various forms, against this bill, which they could not help but see was persistently demanded by a large proportion of the people of Nebraska. .They have, therefore, attached another scalp to their belt and will, it ap pears,' be able to . wear It there until the close vof the session, although the Omaha delegation protests that, another strenu ous effort, yd! be made to capture the prize. , . , .......

The- vote on ttra bill shows that twenty fastottfst. and eighteen republicans sup ports "the minority report for the passage cf the tlll and fifty-one republicans and two' Tuslonlsts tropportwl the majority re port to kill the ' bill. All the Douglas county members- voted for the minority re port irtid 'all the Lancaster county members voted attalnst' it.

But it is evident many of these men have been led astray by that subter fuge, .'so persistently abd so. adroitly used bylhje railroads in combating this meas ure, tamely, that if passed it would have the effect of detracting from the tax re ceipts in .tile country districts. Still Has Hope. "We are still In the ring. This bill Is a lively eorpse and we are not through fight ing bjr any 'means," emphatically declared Representative Gilbert of Douglaa county Irfspraklng of . the fate of H. R. 330. for.. Gilbert authorised the statement that Dm friends of the bill would undertake to amend the revenue bill so as to embody the provisions of, H. R. 330. It is given out that a persistent, light will be waged to, accomplish this -end. The suggestion has been made that unless the Omaha char ter bill passed' fills' 'could not be done, as the present Omaha charter exempts rail road terminals from local taxation In the manner prescribed in this bill, but Mr., Gilbert takes issue with this view. He saj's that in that event. If the revenue bill was pasaed .lt would naturally amend the charter and eecure to the people of Omaha, as' well as to other municipalities ot the stitei this coveted right. In any event the Daragtaa oountymembera Insist their meas ure Is not dead and that they, have not quit flfchtlng vby any means.". ' ' It is well of ' course to-bear in mind that tbe railroads are not "asleep In the meantime, and having gained the first round are taking advantage ot . every circum stance and condition to aecure the per manence ot their victory. There was great Jubilation in railroad lobby clrclea when the result of the vote on" this bill was an nounced .today.' It was evident that theae agents of tbe tsx-ahlrklng Corporations felt that they had gained the greatest victory they could Jn this session. 1 RAILROADS WIN TAX FIGHT Mill for City AMFMntat of Teraalaals .A " 10 IadealaMely Peat-' aoaed. i' (From a Staff Correspondent.

Douglaa pt Rock spoke In suport of the majority report, contending that the bill had been exhaustively discussed la public, press and legislature and that further con sideration was superfluous. Wilson of Pawnee concurred In these re marks, saying he was sura every member of the bouse was thoroughly determined as to his attitude on this bill. He de clared, with some degree of enthusiasm, that further consideration of this bill was time wasted. . .' Kennedy of Douglas plead for .the bill to be placed on general file so that Its friends might have every chance of a fair hearing. He said ,lt .was too Important a measure to be disposed of .without going on general file and be fully discussed. Sears of Burt put In a strong but brief plea for the bill, declaring with Kennedy that It was too Important ft bill not to be generally discussed .on theoor of the house. Loo mis of Dodge vigorously' pleaded for the bill, the principle .involved in It be declared to be of the most, vital concern to every taxpayer of Nebraska and added that It was of more Importance than any thing that would come before this legisla ture. For that reason he thought the house would seriously err If It summarily killed the bill. He said the opponents of the bill were not lacking In ability .to discuss tbe measure.

It was amended In ft number of ways, the point of difference being the amendment pro viding for direct taxation of ' railroad terminals. The majority was against the clause and the minority, Gilbert, Nelson of Douglas and 8weezy- of. Adams, were tor it. The majority report, that tbe bill, as amended, knocking out -ths taxation clauae, waa sustained. ' Among other amendments to the bill is ons providing that the railroads keep up repairs on the. viaducts, which clause was left out ot the original bill. The Shelly bill, providing for ft governor appointed board of fire and police commis sioners, was Incorporated In the bill, as ft compromise for ths extension of the time ot city election In South Omaha to the spring of 1904, instead of having It come oft this year.

(Special Telegram ) E. Roaewater, who came down from Oiaaha. (hlsafternoon, was invited to ap pear before ithe, Douglas county delegation tonight to discuss the Omaha charter bill. H. R, 320. Mr. Roaewater aald his Idea of a charter for a metropolitan city would be one , on ft broad gauge, that would meet present and future conditions. In this re spect he thought the present charter of Omaha was deficient. Mr. , Rosewater fa vored a general policy of expansion rather than contraction. He thought the , city should have from twelve to sixteen warda rather than nine. He believed It would be wise to elect one councilman for every 1,200 or 1,500 voter. Varied Interests re quired this. It the city could not legislate a higher atandard of qualification and mor ality in its council it could Increase the number. Mr. Rosewater argued against a reduction of salaries for fear of inducing a cheaper set of .men. He did not want extravagance, but thought,, as compared with other cities ot similar size, Omaha waa paying ft low scale of salaries. In the matter ot the police scale ot salaries as proposed by tbe new charter bill he thought, however, the scale should start at about $50 far probationers, a little lower than the bill 'proposed, then advance gradually. He objected to the proposed plan of subjecting the names of all street and other minor city employes to the action of the council. He said If the public works officers who hired these nTen were not re sponsible discharge them.' ' "I believe In responsibility and centralization," said Mr, Rosewater, and In this connection he ob jected to the comptroller being made -ft member of the'Board of Public Works.

This coarse waa decided upon only after every honorable method to In duce the company to give them tleserved consideration had Tailed. Their determination ot take this step was deliberately reached as their person ally written signatures will attest. They chose to hazard their employment and. the consequences to themxeives and tneir lam uies tnat might follow rather than to longer hold the relation of the only railway employes of this section who could not meet their mam.tnnR omclals on term of equality and be accorded equal wages and tne same treatment given the employee of their class on other linen.

To prevent the men from rarrvlnsr out their determination to defend their position in a proper and legal way, the company applied to and was granted en Injunction by Judge Adams of the United States court for the eastern 'district of Mis souri, restraining' the organizations, their officers, the committee and all concerned from directly or indirectly sanctioning the procedure agreed upon Dy tne employe tnemseives. To this command, aa 'law-abldlna: cltl. ens and organizations, we bow In aub. mission. We will respect it because We recognise tnat until dissolved It la the law. While we view the action of- the court as subversive of American rights and priv ileges, ano we nencve contrary io common juattlce and fairness, we utter no defiance to Its mandate and indulge In no heroics We will, however, contest the proceeding to the etd, for If Judge Adams' order is written into the laws or our country, or gunlzatlon of labor, which Is today the nope and protection or working people, cannot continue Its beneficent work.

' Councllmen Has call, Hoye, Whlteborn and Karr voted to' override th mayor's veto on the electric rdinance, while Councllmen Zltnman, Trostler and Burklry ' voted to sustain. Following Is the veto communication in full: I return herewith without my approval ordinance No. i'M entitled "An ordinance granting to Andrew Rosewater. his suc cessors and ajalansT or any other person or corporation who may accept the term tin conditions of said ordinance, their buc- esKors and AsslKns the. right In. upon. over, under and along the streets, boule vards, alleys and public grounds of the lty of Omaha, to erect wires, poles, con duits, etc., for conducting and distributing ertrlo currents and. energy for power. lighting and heating purposes, etc.," for he reason that 1 consider the said ordi nance will not accomplish the purpose for which It purports to be intended. The serious objection to this ordinance is, that while on its face It would seem to be granting to Andrew Rosewater, his suc cessors and assigns, the rights and .privi leges set forth In the ordinance, as a mat ter of fact, it does not grant to him or to nis successors ana assigns any rignts or privileges that can be made available here after. Fanlt of h Ordli In addition to Andrew Rosewater. his successors and assigns, the ordinance ex tends the rights and privileges to any other person or corporation whjo may accept the terms and conditions of said ordinance, it peclfylng any other person or corporation who might accept the provisions of this ordinance would make more certain tne futjnLching of cheap power to the city of Omaha, 1 certainly would favor this fea ture of the ordinance, but I do not believe extending the terms and provisions of said ordinance to any other person or corpora tion wno mtgnt accept tne same, otner than Mr. Rosewater and his successors and assigns, will accomplish this result. In fact, I feel quite certain that. It will have the opposite result. It Is well known that an enterprise of the extent and character contempated by this ordinance cannot be undertaken or completed without the large Investment or eastern money, it is also well known that capital Is timid and If other persons and corporations other than Mr. Rosewater and his successsors,- by merely -accepting the terms and provisions of thla ordinance, would be placed In po sition to Immediately undertake or start a similar enterprise It would be utterly Im possible Tor Mr. Rosewater to induce cap italists to take hold of the venture with him. I believe that "every tub should stand on Its own bottom." and that In this case Mr. Rosewater should be permitted to undertake the great enterprise which 'is contemplated without being loaded down and hampered with provisions that would render the grant to him of no use or value. II the cur la to tie Deneutea oy ine grant of Rights and privileges, such as are granted by (his ordinance. It can only be benefited by the execution of the work contemplated by uca grant. Grant I Not Exclusive. "Tf snv other nerson or corporation de sire to enter upon an- enterprise such as is contemplated by tnis ordinance, tnere la no ohtection to allowina; them to d& so. This Is true even though the term of thla ordinance, or any other or like nature, applied only to- Mr. Jioeewater and his successors. The grant In such case, la not an exclusive one. It is Well known that an ordinance Is now before your honorable Doay similar in us prvvwiuiiB iu m wi rilnance. .which srrants directly to Mr. Rosewater and his successors similar riirhta and nrlvlleares. I believe this or dinance should be taken up and .passed by your honorable body. As the result.

If. after the matter Is more fully considered, the people are not favorable to it at the time of the election, they can say so Dy tneir naitots. The least the mayor and council can do is to permit the legal voters -of the city at, the next city election to vote on thla question not in ft blanket form, aa It Is now presented, but In the form of a direct frant to Mr. Rosewater and his successors, n the event that this is done. eVen though Mr. Rosewater and ms successors snouia fall to- accomplish results, the situation, so far aa the city Is conoerned, will be bo worse than Jt .ls now. and no worse than It would be If no r-ich ordinance were nuMPil. Aa already indicated, the passage of such an ordinance would not prevent the passage of any otner similar ordinance irrantlnar llVe privileges to any other per son or corporation who might demonstrate tnat tney naa a ieasiuie scnema wmtn was likely to be carried out.
