INJUNCTION PROCEEDINGS ARE PLANNED Interested Partlea Will Ask t'onrt to Interfere with Council's Inten tion to Award Contract on Monday. Tn an opinion prepared for the Board of County Commissioners concerning the tag levy and the valuation that should govern the making of the sum. County Attorney Slahaugh hold that the valuation fixed by the Btate Hoard ot Equalization and As sessment must govern the local board In making its levy. HI opinion Is an follows: To the Honorable Board of Count Com mtssioners, Douglas County, Nnhraskai Gentlemen Jn reply to the question sub mitted to me as to whether or not the val ues fixed Is binding upon the county as a basis of taxation for county purposes, I have this to say: From an Investigation of the law and of derision of other Mates of similar laws I find that the valuation fixed by the s.rvte boaid Is binding upon our county board as the value fur taxation fur county purpose. In Baldwin against Ellis the supremo court of California holds on a statute quite similar to ours: "If It was not the scheme of the law that there should he but one true valuation and that the one fixed by the state board, why the enactment that the county board should fix the rate of taxation after the former board had acted? A taxpayer cannot be damaged under this construction of the law, for If the valuation were lean the per centage of taxation would be of necessity larger, and If by the action of the state board the valuation be higher the per centage nere.-parv to meet county and state expenses would be less. Under the law all taxable property must be assessed at Its full cash value. If the appellants theory of the law be the proper one then there must b two cash valuation of the same piece of property at the same as sessment, one for state and another for county purposes. There can be no real need of a state board of equalization un less Its main function be to ascertain and declare as near a possible the true valua tion of taxsblo property. We cannot un derstand how the 'true value' mentioned In tho oonstltutton can mean two 'true value.' The manifest Intention of the law Is that when the state board raised the total value of the assessment roll of lOS Angeles county It was done for all taxable purposes, lis well county as stnte." Nebraska, Case In Point. In the case of Hacker against Howe, known as the Nemaha case, Inl N. W. 2&, the same question la settled. The court there aa. shaking of the county und the state boards of equalization: ' ''These different steps are all essential to the ascertainment of the true value of property. In WM1. Cob. It Is declared that no assessment shall be deemed final until the action of the state board shall have been had. and certified to the county clerks and by them extended on the tax rolls. Tho assessment thus made and corrected by the county and stnte boards of equalization shall be the final assessment of property for that year, and taxes for all purposes ahall be levied upon such final assessment." The Nebraska case seems to clearly settle the question and should the question arise , a to whether the action of the state board In raising certain properties would be an over-valuation of the said properties, the supreme court In the above case-says: "It is claimed that all property In Nom ina county was valued Dy me county com missioners at Its full and nctual value and that the Increase ordered by the state board will result In an over-valuation of property and operate a a discrimination against the taxpayers of the county. The weakness of the position lies In the prem ises advanced In the support of It. It Is not concerted that the property assessed bv the county authorities is at its full val- ' uaUon.1 The values are to be determined not by the county assessor alone, hut only In conjunction with equalizing boards, and the power Is given the state board to In crease or decrease the" assessed valuation sf any county, and such valuation Is not finally determined until the state board has acted thereon, , YV. W. SLABATJGH, County Attorney. Acta Under Amendment. ,. .The,, stats bosrd,. acted this year under the amendment ' to the revenue- law env powering It to do as It has done In raising the Items of merchandise and horses, for instance. In Douglas county, after the local board had mnde its equalisation for the purpose of making the levy for local pur poses. Tax Commissioner 'William Fleming has decided views about the increase of IS per cent In the assessed value of merchan dlse Jn Douglas county. "This Is all brought about," said he, "by the acta of a few large firms In this city whom I can number almost on the fingers of both hands. For yeara these firms have. In every possible way, shirked their taxes. They have been pampered and petted at the expense of other merchants and other taxpayers, and now because they are too low, 96 per cent of the mer chants of the county, who have made fair returns, are to suffer for the sins of the ilg fellows. Fifteen per cent Increase will not reach trio big fellows to the point they Four Facts For Sick Women 1 To Considet Lydia E.

That Almost every operation In our hospitals performed upon women becomes necessary through neglect of uch symptoms as backache, irregular and painful monttruatlon, leucorrhcra, displacements of the uterus, pain In the side, burning sensation In the stom ach, bearlug-down pains, nervousness, dizziness and sleeplessness. Skcohd. The medicine that holds the. reefcrd lor the lavgeBt number of absolute cures, of female ills is Lydia E. link hatu's Vegetable Compound. It regnlates, . BtrengtUens and cures diseases of tho female organism as nothing else can. For thirty years it baa been helping women to be strong, curing backache, nervousness, kidney troubles, all uter ine and ovarian inflammation, weak ness and displacement, regulating menstruation perfectly and overeom. tng its pains. It has also proved Itself Invaluable In preparing for childbirth and the change of life. Third. The great volume of unso licited and grateful testimonials on file at the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass., many of which are from time to time published by permission, give ab solute evidence of the value of Lydla E. Pinkhara's Vegetable Compound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice. " Fourth. Every ailing woman In the United States is aeked to accept the following invitation.

If the ten or twelve big firms, whom the tax authorities for years have been trying to assess properly, had been so assessed, there never would have been any hue and cry raised by the Lincoln merchants. As It Is, the little dealer Is going to be Inequitably taxed, and all because he made fair returns and tried to do the right thing." BIG TIME AT BRIDGE OPENING Crowds Attend Milwaukee's Dedica tion at Chamberlain Prosperity General In that Country. Eugene Duval, assistant general western agent of the Milwaukee, has returned from Chamberlain, S. D., whereho attended the celebration Incident to the opening of the new bridge across the Missouri at that place. "This la the first bridge to be built across the Missouri In South Dakota," said Duval. "The first regular train was run across It August 1, and the wh61e neighborhood turned out to. Join lu .the Jubilee. This bridge opens up an Immense territory and is built for the new line which is being con structed to the west. Seventy-five miles are under construction at. the present time and the road ultimately will run to the Black Hills. There was a, targe number of Omaha and South Omaha people present and Dr. McCrann of South Omaha checked the first piece of baggage that crossed the new bridge. "This new territory is the greatest coun try on the face of the earth and history will repeat Itself In the matter of rapid in crease In the price of land. Land that is now selling for $15 an acre is sure to be worth 00 in a short time, the same as It was tn northern Iowa. It used to be a standard saying that it never rained In Lyman county, but Immigration and culti vation has changed this so that the other day when A. J. Karllng, president of the Milwaukee road, drove across the county It rained for four days straight. Such enor mous crops are raised In South Dakota that it Is impossible for the railroads to attempt to handle the output during the harvest period. In some of the smaller towns there are. six and seven elevators. All kinds of labor Is pressed Into service and women are seen driving the reapers."

BUTLER NOT JFOR EXTRA LEVY David City's foamy, gay Senator Haatinaa, Will Protest Against fflirldju Proposition. L. B. Hastings of David City, who rep resented Hutler county In the state senate two yeara ago, waa an Omaha visitor Thursday, having some private affairs to look after. "That 7-mllI levy fixed by the fiiate Board of Equalisation looks mighty big," said Senator Hastings, "and there will be a lot of grumbling out In our county be cause of It. At our assessment Is Increased and the levy Is Increased, Jt is going to make hard sledding for us. Of course the eitra mill levy was occasioned by the Sheldon bill, which had for Its Intent the paying off of the state debt, but it will hit ua pretty bard." . ' ! Senator Hastings said no one was talking politics o any great eztent In Butler county, though the sentiment seemed to be In favor of Comnu"M' o ,u prrai Jud-. FAVORS FEDERAL OWNERSHIP Congressman Kennedy Returns from Great Britain Committed to Municipalization. TIMES NOT SO GOOD ACROSS THE OCEAN Snys Free Trade is Cnnalng Depres ion, Yet Joe Chamberlain's Protection Policy is Gen erally Scorned. Congressman John I Kennedy has re turned from a trip to England and Scotland firmly convinced of the wisdom of govern merit ownership and operation of telegraph lines and of the federal supervision of In surance companies of all kinds. The congressman was away from home Just four weeks, sailing both ways on the Umbrla. He took the trip by way of vaca tion and to see his mother, three brothers and two sisters, who live In the vicinity of Glasgow. They had not seen him for twelve years, or sinc e his last Journey to Scotland 'Coming home has strengthened my be lief that the United States Is tho best part of the world to live In and that the west Is the best part of the X'nited States," says Mr. Kennedy. "I was Impressed In En land and Scotland by evidences that times are not so prosperous as they were when I was there In 1S'J3, when. It will be remem bered, the democratic party had charge of tilings In the United States and was tinker lug with the tariff. Then affairs there were much on the upward trend. Now rents have decreased and while the farmers are doing fairly well, yet little or no Improve ments are being made to physical property, People Take Narrow View. "In trying to find out what is the matte me people are handicapped by a lack of breadth of view. They seem able to grasp the situation In their own town or county or uusiness, put no further. The Derson who knowpomethlng of public affairs know that It Is the free trade policy that is caus Ing the depression, yet Ciiumberlain's pro tective policies are so scorned, due to their contradiction to long established usage, inai mey realize it will be years before hi iueas neoome operative. Vet they think mis will become the case In time. "The Idea that trusts and industrial mm. binatlons do not prevail in Europe and that the governments there handle such matters Detter man In this country is a mistake, ran across one big trust in Scotland the thread trust which has factories near my old home. Other Industries are combined also. If there were as much enrrv ,nri activity in the old world as In the new they would far outnumber us In trusts and their development. As It Is they are no better regulated or controlled than ours. Favors Government Ownership. "I was much Impressed with the British telegraph service, maintained by the gov ernment In connection with the postal sys tem. The service given Is much better than ours and the cost in some cases, at least, is only about one-half what It is here. I am a confirmed believer in gov ernment ownership and control of telegraph lines. "I did not inquire Into the management and conduct of the large Insurance compan ies In Great lirltaln, but, as a matter of fact, I believe the government should have supervision over all kinds of Insurance. I think this supervision should be managed somewhat after the maimer of national banks. Investigations and reports should be made at Intervals and the government given authority to check abuses. Institu tions that take money from the mass of the people, money that the people are en deuvorlng to store up against death, mis fortune and calamity, should have the most careful and rigorous conduct and su pervision. At nome i round notmng critical or acute to engage my attention. As soon as the republican tickets are nominated I expect to get out and work my best for their success." Dispossessed.

Davis, undertaker. TaL ISC Arrangements are being completed to he cure an order of the court preventing the city council from letting a contract on Monday night next for the paving of Twenty-fourth street. An attorney who Is Interested In the case notified City Attorney Lambert Thursday afternoon that an In junction Is to be applied for In order that a stop be put to the paving at this time. The attorneys held quite a conversation and an attempt waa made to arrange a suitable date for the hearing of tho re straining order. No agreement was arrived t, but It is expected that before the papers are served on the mayor and council Mon day the contesting attorneys will reach an agreement and suggest to the court a date or the hearing. It appears that some of the property owners want asphalt, others want brick and still others want to slide along without any repairs until after April next. The mayor and councllmen rather looked for proceedings of this sort, but were In hopes that the differences among property owners could be patched up and that tho improvement might be permitted to go ahead. Since notice has been served that an injunction is in Bight, It may be that paving bidders will not take such nn in terest In the plans and specifications as they have heretofore. Those remonstrating against the paving of the street at this time declare that the case will be taken to the supreme court If necessary. Itemovlng Ilium's Hall. Arrangements were completed Thursday whereby Blum's hall, nt Twenty-sixth and N streets. Is to be removed from it's present Bite. An eastern trust company owns the north half of the building and the local agent, B. E. Wilcox, was notified yesterday afternoon to go ahead and have the north half torn down and the lumber sold. The south half Is owned by the Jetter Brewing company. Mr. Jetter Intends moving his half to the east far enough to front on Twenty-sixth street, where the laundry la now located, and use the building for either a rooming house or a saloon. When this move Is made the frame saloon building at the northwest corner of Twenty-sixth and N streets will bo moved to property owned by Jetter nt'Twenty-seventh and L streets, leaving the corner lot. vacant. Mr. Wilcox and Mr. Jetter agreed Thurs day afternoon to start -work on the removal and tearing down of this big building within a week or ten days. Blum's hall was the first largo hall erected in South Omaha, the finishing touches being put on the building In the early part of 18S9. When first built this hall was the largest In the city ana was used for dances, lectures, etc. Many men well known tn political circles have ad dressed audiences In this old building, the most notable perhaps being the late M. A. Hanna. Of late the building TTas been used mostly by tramps as a roost. On account of the condition of the building Insurance rates In the vicinity were raised 20 per cent not long ago. It is expected that when the old building is torn apart tho Insurance agents will make a reduction in the present rate, ' ' " . Sewer Still Clouaed. Efforts are still being irinde to open the Railroad .avenue 8anJluy,.ewcr which Is stopped up between L and O streets. Three men are digging away trying to open the sewer and take out the refuse dumped by garbage haulers, but they are not making any headway to speak tif. The sewer Is opened enough to carry off a portion of the sewage, but there is still an overflow at manholes for several blocks. Depot Problem Xot Settled. Reports have been circulated for a day or two regarding the proposed purchasa of ground for a depot site by the Union Pacific. While negotiations are still pend ing no money has been, paid and the pwn ers of the property do not consider the matter settled until the cash is In hand. At the present time attorneys for the Union Pacific are looking over the deeds and ab stracts and It may be several days yet be fore the abstracts are completed. Then If everything Is satisfactory to the purchasers the transfer will be recorded. So many slips have been made on this proposition that the ownefs of the property desired for depot purposes will not give out definite information until the cash has been paid. Dolnn Complaint Filed. Thursday afternoon Mrs. Sarah Dolan filed a complaint against her husband charging him with shooting with intent to kill. Judge King set the hearing for 9 a. m., August 6. Dolan is still considerably under the weather, but Is expected to be in a fairly good mental condition on Saturday. Mrs. Dolnn asserts that she wants her hus band put away for safe keeping as she Is afraid of him, and this will most likely be done as Dolan has no defense except to say that he was Intoxicated when ho fired the shots at his wife. Preliminary Hearing Today. A complaint charging murder In the first degree was filed In police court yesterday by Assistant City Attorney Murdock against Joseph Koxlowskl, who Is charged with shooting and killing William Rollins on Sunday last. A preliminary hearing will be held today In the police court. About the same witnesses as were called at the coroner's Inquest will be Bent for to tes tify. Kozlowski Insists that he fired In self defense The testimony on this point at the coroner s inquest was evenly di vided. William Rollins Hurled. William Rollins, colored, who was shot Sunday night at the Roth saloon. Twenty- seventh and L streets, by Jos. Kozlowski, was buried at Laurel Hill cemetery Thurs day afternoon. The mother of the de ceased telegraphed money here to pay for the interment. The services were brief, only a few of tho Intimate friends of the deceased attending the funeral, which was held at Brewer's undertaking rooms. Voting; Machine Contract Signed. City Clerk Gillin received the contract between the city of South Omaha and the Standard Voting Machine company of Rochester, N. Y. The contract had been signed by Mayor Koutsky and City Clerk Qlllln, but had to be sent east for the signatures of officers of the company.

It tvould save you a lot of work; wont cot you any more than It will to bake. Your flour costs you $1.W) por sack.. You burn ordinarily about ?1.00 worth of gas to buke the bread from It. Your yeast, milk, lard, etc., brings the cost up to right around $.'.00 for every 48 pound sack of flour you bake up Into bread. A sack of flour will last an average family about a month. So the cost of your home made bread Is mighty close to $3.00 per mouth. Three dollars will supply you with 00 loaves of bread, or two loaves fresh from your grocer every day for a mouth. AVhich Is about what the same family will use. Did you ever stop to figure It out? A great many have. They find that they have saved nothing for tbelr work.
