THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TTirRPDAY. NOVEMHER 26. 1P0.T L 1 "N ATTACH TOE REVENUE LAW Brief Filtd in SaprenjsOonrt Es.be i Several New Point. ASSERTS THAT THE BANKS ARE FAVORED Reference U Made la the Brief to Opinion, riled with 1b Court r fa Three C.wimfis- (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln. Nov. n. speci-ii.)-The brief In the revenue law cse filed In the su preme rourt by Oreene, Breckenrldge & Klnsler on 'behalf of the Insurance com panies to compel Tax Commissioner Flem ing of Omaha to enforce the provisions of the old revenue law, attack the new law a to Ita constitutionality under four heads: The provisions for assessment upon a pen alty; the discrimination In favor of banks end against all Individuals and corpora tions; the Incongruous and discriminatory provisions for the assessment of Insurance companies; , the proposition to levy an as sessment upon Interstate commerce by re quiring; exprest, telegraph and telephone companies to pay a local tax upon their gross earnings. The attorneys for the re lators pulnt out a number of other sections that they assert Invalidate the law, but ray that It would be Impossible to discuss each of them, so therefore classify their attack under the four subheads named. t'pon these questions rained the three com nils; loners have already passed on In their opinions filed Mondiy afternoon, earh of them holding thnt with the exception of the Insurance sections, those attacked are unconstitutional, while one held that the Insurance auctions were constitutional. In Judge Duffle's opinion, however, the entire law was held to be Invalid because he held tha Insurance sections were bad. The brief of the relatora calls attention to the fact that the old revenue law was anacted In 187B and that It had frequently teen amended and had been the subject of many decisions of the supreme court and I therefore It embodied the "wisdom of twenty-five years of legislation and as many years of Judicial decisions." It states that tha new revenue law was enacted because of sentiment worked up . by parties in Omaha who dealred the taxes on real es tate be lowered by raising the taxes on personal property. The brief holds that he frame! s of the new law paid little heed to the requirements of the constitution, i The greatest portion of It Is filled with argu- I ment to prove that the Insurance sections of the law are unconstitutional, which two of the commissioners have already concured In. A number of other sections not hereto fore touched on are also attacked briefly. pther Sections Attacked. The brief asserts that section 13 of the new law Is void because It provides that the revenue for the state Is to be raised by the taxation of property upon an as sessment based upon a per cent of the val uation, when the constitution provides that tha taxes shall be levied according to the valuation of the property taxable. Taken In connection with eectlone 59 and 0, which require certain corporations to pay their tsxes Intc tha atate treasury, the brief claims, makes Its vice clearly apparent. Section 16, it Is held, la not germane to the apt In that it creates a lien In favor of persons assessed and taxed In a repre sentative capacity upon property which they may have in their possession belong ing to an Individual or corporation for whose taxea they have been made person ally liable. The brief said this may be fair and constitutional, but not In a revenue act. " Seotlon 38 provides Xnr.tb., assessment of hares of stock ot joint stock or other companies when the capital stock of such .company Is not assessed In this state. The aot makes no provisions for the assessment of the capital stock of any corporation created under the laws of this state ex cepting only banks, loan and trust and In vestment companies. Section K contains a provision requiring the county assessor to add 60 per cent pen alty to tho valuation made by the deputy assessor where the owner or taxpayer fails to return his property. The penalty clause Is held to- be unconstitutional because It provides for the assessment on a penalty to be added to the actual valuation of the property. Section eS, which provides for the assess ment and taxation of all Individuals who . ara defined fee gialn brokers, regardless of the value of their property. Is claimed by the brief to be class legislation because It singles out grain brokers and It violates the uniformity clause of the constitution. Tho other sections mentioned In the brief are those upon which arguments were made before the supreme court commie loners. They include the Insurance sec tions, sections 77 and 78 providing for the assessment upon tha gross receipts of tele graph,' express and telephone companies section 123, providing for a forfeiture of f&oo to be recovered by tha county In a civil action against any person who refuses to properly answer questions propounded by the county Board of Equalisation. It is beld that thia oreatea a double penalty and la taking property without due process of law.

Manifestly, In view of the sentiment to which referenre has Ifen made and whlcli resulted In the legislation under consideration, every criti cised section was an Inducement to Its enactment, but If sections 1. 66. 123. 124. 1S1 and 1M csn go out without affecting Its utter demolition, certain of the defects pointed out Unquestionably nullify the en tire act."

UNION MEN TO RING FARES Will Resume Their Pltoee on Chic jo Street Can in Pwce. COMPACT IS RATIFIED AT NOON TODAY New Mage Scale May Meaa Ke bat a Betterment Working Hear and ther Benrlli, Mora f CHICAGO, Nov. 26-The Chicago street car men's str'kc was brought to a close today by the ratification by the men of a compact agreed upon by their leaders and representatives of the company. After thirteen days of turmoil, service on the various lines of the Chicago City Rail way company covering an area of twenty five square miles, was resumed. The strikers met In Federation hall, hlch has been their headquarters end the plac was crowded when President Buckley, of the local organization called the meeting to order. The first act was to exclude newspaper men from the hall, and for nearly two hours thereafter the public mas ignorant of the details of the proceedings. Sounds indicating that speeches were being mode and frequent cheering gave evi dence thnt the terms arranged by the strike leaders were acceptable. The first news from the hall was that by a practically unanimous vote the men had accepted the proposition In the matter of wages, the scale to be based on wages paid In other cities. Eoon after a second announcement proclaimed the acceptance of the whole compact. Bark to (be Barns. With this announcement came the state ment that the union men had been ordered to report to the various barns ready to take out cars Immediately. The agreement as ratified by the men and previously accepted by representatives of the company provides for the settlement of the wage question by a board of ar bit ration. Their present wages are not to figure In the calculations, but Instead the new scale Is to be bused on the market value of the men's services. As the com pany claims to pay the best wages, the new arrangement. It Is thought, may not result in an advance in the pay of the employes. Clause II, of the agreement, provides for the betterment of the working hours rew schedule to be arranged by the com pany In conference with a committee of trainmen. The company retains the right to run as many cars as are necessary at all times, "endeavoring always," the agree ment runs, "to make the work as agreeable to the men as is consistent with the per formance of Its duty to the public." The third and last clause provides th .t the strikers shall be taken back without prejudice. Membership In the union shall not constitute proper cause for discharge from the company's employment. With this exception, the company retains the right to employ, discharge, or dlsclplatn Its employes as It sees fit The agreement resolution was passed unanimously, but not without careful con slderation. About two-thirds of the mem bership of the union was present. Some dissent was expressed in the discussion by the cable men, hut they raised no protest when the vote wss calledfor. There was general satisfaction among the men and the sentiment for peace as arranged by the officers waa overwhelming. Statement by Mayor. President Mahon said after the confer ance: I submitted the whole agreement, section bv section. . Each section was explained at lenrth. Unions vote strikes on and vote them off. I never rejoice over a victory or lament over a defeat. I hope mere will never be another strike on the line., Mayor Harrison declares Chicago has great reason for being thankful for the set tlement of the street railway strike. He says ' the citizens have been living In powder magazine. In which were men walk lng about with lighted matches in their hands. The city Is almost aa much to be congratulated on the fact that the maga sine did not explode aa on the settlement of the dispute in his opinion "I think," said Mayor Harrison, "the agreement Is as fair as It could be made without fighting the thing out to the last ditch. Our purpose was to get both sides together to prevent a fight to the last ditch for In that kind of a fight it Is the public that suffers. We have great cause for thsnksgtvlng, and I hope It will be a long, long while before we have another street railway strike." . Resumption of Service Delayed Although a basis of settlement of the strike of the employes of the Chicago City Hallway company was decided on at 1:30 o'clock this morning and the agreement was ratified by the men a few hours later, not a single car Is In sen-ice tonight. The only cars operated today were manned by npnunlon crews under the same conditions that have prevailed since the inauguration of the strike a week ago. For some un explained reason the management of the Chicago City Railway company waa not of ficially notified until tonight that the strike had been declared off. Tonight Assistant Chief of Police Schuet tier, who lias charge of the police who have been guarding the cars, was notified that his services would be required no longer, ss word had been received by Manager Mc Cullagh, from President Mason of the strikers' union that the strike had been de clared off.

The telephope war that has been waged here during the past two months between the Nebraska Telephone company and the local grocers' association was probably broken today by three of the lo cal grocers placing the Bell 'phones In their . stores.
