Arthur Hussle, the 12-year-old hoy who
came to Omaha recently to take the nnral
examination, but failed, waa discharged In
police court on a charge of vagrancy.
fter falling to pass the requirements to
secure an assignment on a battleship, the
oy applied to the police station for a
acani y on the police force.
Tas Commissioner Fleming urges that the
city council reconvene as a Hoard of
localization to hold a session of ten days
or more to bring before It all taxpayers
who failed to meet the requirements of the
new revenue law In making out their re
turns to the commissioner. This recom
mendation Is made by Mr. Fleming In his
annual report, Just filed with Mayor
Aioores.
After referring to the decision of the dis
trict court, wt.lch declared Invalid the
V) per cent penally clause of the new
revenue bill, Mr. Fleming states that he
was left without power to enforce correct
iciurna, that many derelictions were noted
and then adds with reference to his rccom-
It.tmlailun:
i his course seems absolutely necessary
to Uo simple Justice to those who do miet
tbe rt'iui. ementa and who subject their
personal property to the assessor. Other
wise It is a questionable and an Inequit
able act to attempt to assess other than
vi.iihlu personal property.

Report In Pall.
OMAHA, Feb. 10, 1904. To the Hon. Mayor
ami cay council, t.iiv ot Omaha: uentie-
l..en 11 Is (livir.tole mot the annual report
of the tax departimnt should Incorporate In
U I lie total oi the ututensiiieiit roll alter the
elm n gee mane by the boards of review
.and equalization ami unon which the levy
Is made lor the year. The report should
bo made In January usually, nut on ac
count of litigation and delay Incidental to
me enforcement of the new revenue law
It wm nnpoiialuie to make a complete and
KutlMlactoiv Kliowinir until now.
It was a matter of roine uoulit whether
In connection with the city charter the old
or new revenue law shoud be operated for
the assessment of 1:4)3-4. The law took
enect beptcmoer 1, lwj. The city assexs
tuviil begum hepternber 15, but It was ques
tionable If some of the provisions of the
Hew law could lie applied before Apr! 1.
Jw4, ut which time the law would be op
erated In the stule as a whole. Having
legard to the equity of the matter, viewing
the law as a severe and strict one and
with the possibility of Its being modified
Hi the next meeting of the legislature,
Omaha would have to operate It for two
years and no other part of the state more
man once, ine Disposition of tne commls-
oner was to avoid using the new law. If
ble. but. after thorough consideration
and aner consultation and advice of the
city attorney and others of legal ability, It
wus made plulnly Imperative that the new
law must be used, and It was used strictly
to the letter and In Its entirety until the
aanessmcni was about one-third complete.
A suit was then brought In the district
court seeking to prevent the using of the
new law. 'ihe ue of the new law was
sustained, however, except as to certain
features, via: the answering of the inter-
loeatlona on the scnedule. llie requiring of
mo ue or me worq - none, tnn form of
ain vse-i ant tne 60 per cent nenn tv
clause. This decision, while still requiring
he tax commissioner to continue using the
now ikw, crippiea tne department serlouslv.
ana v i first assessment Is not a fair lllus-
ra.btti "t tne working of the new law In
i iuii power.
Features Objected To.
The new law fairly bristles with features
objected to and It haa again been attacked
through the courts by several Interests-r-i.olably
Insurance. It la to be hoped that
before the next assessment of the city be
comes necessary, the state supreme court
will hava passed on some of the dis
I'Uted points, arising from this year's city

lo make the new law errm-tiva in
tended, the amount of addiUonal work de
volving upon the department has been very
large and has necessitated a large clerical
, force during the assessing period and fol
lowing weeks. The searching of records
of the register of deeds and. other county
offices for mortgages and other personal
properly not found on the schedules sent

the fact. ' This required Identification In
all cases and notices to be served, all of
which entailed a material amount of ex
pense. The obtaining of properly sworn state
ments. Without which the new luw u.mlrl
be Ineffective, caused repeated calls of the
deputy assessors on the taxpayers, so that
an Increase of ten deputies for twenty
dnya was not sufficient, even with a liberal
use of the mall, to get sworn returns of
Eersonat property In all cases. Of the
per cent of schedules returned I find 1.18
persons or companies who returned 1500 or
Inore personal property, declined to swear
to tne returns, and 3i7 persons or com
panies, who were Judged to have personal
property of 5C0 or over, made no returns
pf response whatever. The makers of the
IBW provided for such cases by Imposing
on per cent penalty, but as the district
court decided the provision was tihcnnstltu
tlonal, nil there was left for me to (In. aftr

ruling tne penally clause unconstitutional
I would recommend that the council, sit
ling ss a Hoard of Equalisation, provide
to bold a session of ten diva or mere In
order to bring before It all who fall to
meet the lequlromenta of the new law.
This course seems absolutely necessary, to

Principle Sow la Courts.
The principle Involved In the matter of
assessing by the tax commissioner Inde
pendently the railroad property usually as
teased according to the returns of the State
Hoard of Kqtiullsatlons, bring already In
the United State courts on trial, and I
having been enjoined by the United Statu
court rrom assessing tne Chicago, m. ram,
Minneapolis Omaha and the Fremont,

assessments on the other railroads for 1S04,
the railroads are assessed for their rlght-

In making the assessment of real estate
fir ths year 1 have pursued the plan of
Investigating all complaints on preceding

Larllcular real evtate work for the year has
been on property between Dodge and

The Loss to Fire Insnrance at Balti
more and the Urk of It to I.lfe tn
sn ranee What Did Happen and
What ('onldn't Happen.
A remarkable fact In connection with tha
great fire at Baltimore Is that while the
total loss was something IfEe $125,0r0,rtt and
tho loss on policies to the fire insurance
companies will amount to perhaps $80,000,
0(10. there Is no loss whatever on policies
to the life companies. No one waa killed.
and though there will be loss to some of
the life organizations on their property,
that Is a thing which might happen to a
man or an Institution anywhere, and the
Interesting fact remains that In one of the
heavies calamities to property in alt his
tory no human life was sacrificed. .
There was no llttte anxiety the last day
of this fire, and even the day following.
as to Its possible effect upon the financial
markets of the country. The ablest and
most careful of men could not, for a day
or two, savwhat might result If great
sums of securities were thrown upon the
market to enable the fire Insurance organ!
zatlons to meet their losses. Here is where
a striking contrast comes In cs to the pos
slble nltuatlon in regard to any loss that
life Insurance might ever sustain. V'lth the
widespread nature of their risks, tha per
fection of tho system, the diversity and
broad distribution of their securities and
the Immutable laws of longevity upon
which their losses are based, there could
never be such a blow to the life organlza
tions as to make men obliged to stop even
for an Instant to wonder what the effect
was to be on the- general market or on
the companies themselves. -i
One may Imagine an earthquake ruining
the business part of New York, killing
several thousand heavily insured men and
destroying property belonging to the life
companies to an extent great enough to
occasion them a loss beyond all previous
calculations. That would be trenching
about as closely on the domain of the
Impossible as he Imagination can conceive,
but even in such a case assets held else
where would be enough to meet every
loss.
"War, pestilence and famine" may do
their worst, but the day can seemingly
never come when people will have
chance to wonder how any unprecedented
event la going to uffect the life organ!

at largo may ever possibly be disturbed
