The debate was held In the evening at

dermen to be voted on at a special election

treasurer. Dr. H. . T. .King . of . Fremont;
member of the board of censors. Dr. O.
L. Beeson of Beatrice.
Stadylnn; Doaslai County Question.
Attorney General Brown has been re
quested by the State Board of Equalization
and Assessment to give an vyiulon as to
the right of the state board to tax the
ground on which the Union Pacific has
buildings assessed locally by the Omaha
authorities. Hitherto the board hus as
sessed the real estate under the unit plan,
distributing the value to all the counties
along the line of railway, while the build
ings have been assessed by the local au
thorities. Members of the board do not
see any reason for the distinction, and an
opinion holding that the real estate is tax
able with the buildings would meet with
favor. It Is believed that the attorney
general leans that way, too, although he is
nxiklng careful study of legal precedents
throwing light on the matter. It is pointed
out that while the concession of this addi
tional value to Douglas county would de
crease the " total to be distributed to tha
counties, the loss to each would be very
small. Among the buildings are the Union
Pacific shops. Tha property Is oft the
right-of-way. It Is aald, and la therefor
logically subject to local taxation, as shown
by the local assessment of the structure.
