hours of the day and the railroad attor
neys were given hearings at the opening. In
the middle and st the done. It there waa not
a fair assessment made of the properties
of the railroad companies, they certain '.y
lost no opportunity to Impress their view
upon this board. I consider it almost. an
insult to the Intelligence of the citizens of
Nebraska and the members cf this board
for them to come now and protest and
assert, as they have, that the rallroud
have been assessed too high,
Davlaaoit's Fsk 'Jeare.
These railroad lawyers know, as all men
familiar with the law know, that this
board wrs required to assess these prop
erties at their actual value, neither look
ing to the right nor to the left, as to what
other property would be assessed for, by
the county assessor. They declare in the
protest filed wltn you that they had.
tacit understanding that the grand assess
ment roll would amount to Hx,000,000 this
year. It Is not their fault that it has not
come up to their detilres. They have em
ployed a mathematician of high degree and
gone to great expense to prepare a tab!,
a'.lttlng that the value of the taxable
property In Nebraska exceeds 2,0u0,mwO,
Independent ot the rallioaoa. 1'hat tavie
was carefully gotten up. before this board
had taken final action, and it was undoubt
edly published with a very profound con
sideration, for the welfure ot th peeople
of this state. They wanted the !eople to
know how wealthy they are, and particu
larly to lay the foundation for thla pro
ceeding, so that when the Teturns were all
In they oould remonstrate against th rio
tous stsesnment of railroad as compared
With other taxable property. They knsw
at the outset Just as well as they dc to
day that t "h estimate prepared by Prof.
Davlsaon was extraordinarily inflated. They
knew that there would be an apparent
contrast between the asaeosront cf the
railroads and ail other property. That was
the object of the remarkable computation
of Prof. Devlsson, and that come la at
tbs proper moment. ' '

Irailronds assessed them without taking
Into consideration other property.
I Mr. Kosewater That is what 1 under
stand snd am laying the foundation for.
What I wltih to talk about la the proposi
tion to raise other property. ' So far as I
cark -understand the law, this board has
no power to change tha assessment of the
railroads. Their plea that - the railroad
assessment should be lowered is Irrelevant
because there Is no 'power vested In the
Board of mallsation to undo what it has
already done as a railroad asssssment
board.- '
1 Oimt ot nIlra Protest.
' The Governor I havs not ' read their
paper. I did not know It waa on file until
last evening. It has been Bled, but the
board has not taken. It up.
Sir. Rose water They start out and say
this:.
1. That said apMesninent violate the uni
formity clause of tha constitution of the
state of Neiuaska, for that the aame la
excessive and out of proportion to the
cor.t of tbe said respective properties.
2. That the smIJ aHsessment violates the
laws of the state of Nehraslift relating to
the ansei'xment of property, for that it is
SHso-Krd beyond lis actual value.
I. That the said assessment is st least B0
per cent hither than the fair actual cot,
or the marset value of me said reitpeeuve
properties on any' 'air basis of asaeasment.
i. That the said assessment la excessive
as compared with property In Nebraska
assessed fur taxation during; the year l.oi.
K Tht the said assessment 1 excessive
1 as'rompared with the assessment of lands
and real estate In the state of Nebraska
umipg the year
The first ground of fij-setlon Is that this
assessment violates uniformity, and. that it
is out of proportion to the" cost Of wild
respective properties. It does not t"ki a
profound lawyer to know that the cost o! a
railroad, or for that matter the. cost, of
anybody's property, Is not necessarily the
crltnrlon or standard of Its assessed, valua
tion. The original coat of a rallrcad mU'ht
havs tcn not more than ItO.Ouj a mile, but
if a railroad will e n the markets of tlit
world for tso.oiQ a mils It is assessable for
HiO.OW a mile. If it earns K reasonably fair
Interest upon an Investment of tM.KO a mils
It Is worth fVO.OtO a mi's. 80 that thst Idea
of the co-t. that wr.uld mean of the real
ettate In Its rtght-r.f-vay, trackage, bridges,
culverts, rolling stock, flepots, In other
words, the physical property of the rcsd,
represents the cost ff the road, but that
does not represent Its value. A rsllroad Is
a public highway snd its value Is derived
chiefly from the vital force that is Inherent
In it. sovereignty delegated to It by which
It scQulres power to compel pstronags snd
to exact toll fr transjKirtstlon of passen
gers and frelsht privileges enjoyed only by
sovereigns. While a rillrood may be built
for from J io.cxo to IJJ.floO a mile, It coni
mands In the mnrkets of the world any
where from IsiiM) to JKOOtO per mile, be
cause If enn return to the owners fair In
terest on such n amount of Investment.

merco commission, exceeds 1(3,000 per mils
for every mils of road In the United States,'
and I contend that the railroads of Ne
braska are on the average as profitable and
as valuable as the railroads In any other
state. On that bast their value would nm
between !300,X4,Ooa to $370,000,000. so that
when this board assessed them at J33E,00O,
000 it gave a wide margin to the railroads,
and they uhould not complain and pretend
that they are assessed too high.
We now come to th proposition that
they are assessed at a higher rate propor
tionately to other property and particularly
to real estate in Nebraska. I understand
that the commissioner of public lands and
buildings has taken the pains to make a
computation of resl estate sales in seventy?
eight counties of this state which show the
sales of more than 1,000,000 acres of land.
On each parcel of land sold comparison
was rhada between the recorded selling
price and the assessor's valuation 5f the
snme land. We find that out of over J.OOO.
000 acres the difference between the valua
tion placed thereon by the assessors and the
selling price, as recorded, Is a fraction less
than S per cent. That is to say, where tl
worth of property Is recorded as sold It Is
assecscd fnr and a fraction ents. That
Is taking (he entire average. In some coun
ties, as Is tha case In Webster county, rep
resented by the gentleman who preceded
me, the difference was only 2' cents, that
K the selling vsltie as rcrded showed 100
cents snd the sssessor cents. That Is
pretty close. J want thees rtliroad gentle
men to corns In hers and toll us whether
thelf property, gauged by the same stand
srd." gauged by what the property will aell
for in the morket, comes 'rlthln per cent
of the market price. The railroads of this
state would sell for a'.ywhsre from IliiO,
000,000 to 30,000.!)00, e'id at the very lowest
possible estimate of their value. $:100,000.000.
They or assessed U tes.OCO.CoO.
Should Bedsj. e Otlier Property, v
That shows th ..saeaaed correspond
ing to the real estate assessHif ;tt at about
li per cent on the dollar, whereas real es
tate la assessed at 1H cenis. X propose,
gentlemen, to file a protest here against
any li. crease in the assessment of lands,
not only in Douglas county, but in any
other county of the state where It is
above 74 or 75 per cent. I believe that the
railroads are atasad at something like
25 or t per cent bolow their actual value,
while the Unds computed on the basis of
Selling, which Is not always correct, ex
cessive In nany Instances, Is assessed
within I cents of that value. There should
be a reduction In the general average of
lands In this .stats from 14 to H per cent.
Instead Of a ralsi Of course. If tbers Is
any flagrant violation by any assessor,
that should be corrected, but I believe,
taking the railroads as the Standard of
smessment, rjn'y representing 76 per cent
on the dollar, they should not Insist or
clamor for a raise on the lend, but should
B Ic that tho land be reduced to their
tandard. While million' of aerea of lurid

In such great volumes, and In proof a".
what I say I wish to call your attention
to the first complaint made here, by Mr.
Polioys. on behalf of the Chicago, Bt.
Paul, Minneapolis &. Omaha railroad. That
gentleman called attention to what he
claimed to be a material difference In the
assessment of raJlror.d and other property,
lie claimed his road was assessed alto
gether too high ixnd the laads In the state
assessed altogether too low. Last evening
I made a little computation concerning
his road and I find this state of affairs.
I find that the earnings of that road for
the year ending December a, 1233, aggre
gated 14,828.608.75; that there were l,6Srt
miles of that road in operation, and that
its net earnings per mile were $2,607.08,
which .capitalized av 0 per cent, would give
C2,0O0 per mile, or Jio.400 per mile at a
one-fifth valuation. You have only as
sessed that road at $8,100 per mils.
Westoa Asks a Question.
Auditor Weston That Is the entire mile
age, outside as well as Inside the state 7
Mr. Rosewater Yes, but I believe ihat
Nebraska contributes its share of trai'ria
on an equal footing with the other state.
We cannot go Into fractions, or a particu
lar mile, but the average earnings per mils.
They hair common stock, paying ( per
cent dividends amounting to $18,liE8,963.00,
and preferred stock amounting to $11,XS,.
and preferred stock amounting to
$n,2r.8,ii.aa with T per c?nt asvi-
d-nds, making a total of t:9,1!'i,Ha
of outstanding stocks. I desire . to
correct Mr. Mortenson, who awhile ftgo In
referenre to railroads owning their own
stock, labors under th Impression that
tailrozds do not hold stock of t'.ielr own.
This compai.y owns $M,84t,i34 of common
and $-ts,9:T of preferred stock sr.d doubtlewi
retains Its share of the dividends on that
stork. It will be noted further that in
addition to the dividends declared by this
company it baa taker. $500,000 out of Its
net earnli gs for betterments and charged
them up to operating expenses.
Now. ihe.t, tha market value rf these
Stocks on Friday was quoted at. If I re
member rightly, somewhere about $1.40. W
hsve also heard tre complaint of the Chi
cago A Northwestern railway. They do
not seem to reixllte that It Is one of the
high grade properties that Is earning an
enormous Income on Its liive.'ment. What
proportion of Its evrnlngu should be cred
ited to Nebraska and wlt proportion to
otheretates, I cannot tell, and they do not
earn to tell us themselves, but this ia sure,
that the price of Cblcaao V Northweotern
railway stink on last Haturday was. In
New York city, ffom $1.79 to $1 M for com
mon and $120 to $-' 26 for preferrod stock.
Computed at that rate I do not believe that
t'.l board has done a vicious thing In
assessing th Northwestern mileage In this

You have heard a great deal here from
their attorneys tha there has been a tre
mentions slump this year In the earning
of the railroads as compared wltb the pre.
ceding year.. I have an exhibit here front

official organ of the railroads, that show
that although the earnings of 1204 are
sohiewat below the earnings of the corre
sponding period of 19u3, yet they are enor
mously In excess of 1901, which waa conald
ered the s,reat boom year for railroads.
