STATE WILL BUY DOUGLAS COUNTY BONDS JSo Sepeasltr for Paying; Broker i (ommlialon n Ordrr to Make the Transfer Intn the Permanent School Faad, fFrnm a fitaff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. March 14. (Special.) The City TtnnrH of Km ti llvn inn ff OmAhn. Is not hound to accent the returns from the State Board of E.iuallsatlon in fixing the value of railroad property In' Omaha. This la what T. J. Mahoney argued In a brief I filed In the supreme court today in an- swer to the return made by the city conn ell of Omaha, which body George T. Mor ton Is trying to compel to reassemble aa a board of equalization to hear protests against the low asecKsment of railroad property. The case came up on an alter native writ upon the application of Morton. In Its return the council held that It was compelled to take the) flgurea returned by the State Board of Ekitlxllxatlon. In his argument against thla proposition Mr, Mahoney aald: The charter of the city of Omaha directs the tax commissioner In assessing railroad properties to take the returns made by the State Board of Kqun-llSH tlon to the county clerk. The same charter authorise the city council, sitting as a board of equalisa tion, to equalize the assessments of all property within the city and It doe not assume 10 require euon dor oi "-iunll" tlon In performing Its duties to accept the figures of any other board, In support of hla contention that the board does not have to take the returns of the State Board of Equalization the at torney quotes from the opinion of former Chief Justice Sullivan In the case, wherein It was contended that the revenue act of 1S03 was Invalid because It provided dif ferent rules for ascertaining the value of franchises of many corporations doing bus iness in the state. In that opinion Judge Sullivan SKid; We are all agreed that under the consti tution of thla state the franchise of a cor poration la regarded as property and must be assessed and taxed as other property. That the same method on different classes of property la not pursueu or noi itquim by the statute Is not an objection to iha I law ii equality ui inwn t haTeglst require" dfferentu"es fSrino" a2 cessment of different classes, but If the legislature has provided a means by which MTo"X!roM!rMtTall3 upon to pay an undue proportion of the publlo burden, that Is all that the taxpayer fwendtel?ls2es of T"Jrpo?aUons doing buil- ness In this state a franchise of one com- lMiny may be assessed at a higher yaliia- poratl ona aro'aseessed In" the county, pre- clnct and city where their business Is car- rled on.

State Will Take Bonds. If Douglas county issued those bonds to tak up its warrant lndebedness, bearing T per cent.
