CONSIDERS ROAD'S ASSESSMENT FAIR
In (omptrlioa with Olhr Property
Valuatloa Mickey Sara Rll
nir Ws ot Impose oat
br State Board.
Governor Mickey u the only witness
to testify before Special Examiner C. W.
Pearaall In the Union Pacific tam case In
the federal building Thursday morning.
The examination was cdnducted by John
N. Baldwin, attorney for the Union Pacific.
Others present In the court room were: At
torney General Norrle Hrown, State Treas
urer Mortensen and Bob Clancy, Baldwin'"
lieutenant, known as "tax agint" of the
Union Pacific.
The gist ol Oovernor Mickey's examina
tion was relative to the organisation of
the State Board of AMfiwment and Equal
isation for 1903 and 14 and as to how tha
board arrived at Its conclusions relative to
the assessment of the Union Pacific. The
governor said In effect:
"I was first a member of the board In
103. At that time the board fixed the val
uation Of the Union Pacific at $6,323,132.
When we assessed the road In 1900 the new
revenue law hed been enacted. The old
law provided that all property should be
listed at Its actual value, but It had not
been done, save with some exceptions.
Properties were assessed at from one
fourth to one-twentieth of the actual value.
We thought, the Union Pacific assessment
a fair one as compared with other property,
but the assessment was not made upon the
full or actual value, because of the prece
dent In assessing at one-fourth or one
twentieth. Railroad to Mam.
"The reason we assessed the Union Pa
cific at a low rate was the fault of the
railroad, which insisted on a low valuation
because It said that other property was as
sessed low and It wanted Its property as
sessed equally low. The land assessments
were not the Same all over the state. For
Instance, land In Douglas county was as
sessed at one-fourth value and In Polk
county at one-fifteenth valuation. In 1904
the assessments were made under the new
law at actual valuation and assessable
value at one-fifth. The railroads Insisted
that In 1903 they paid one-seventh of all
the taxes of the state, which they did not
think was fair. We did not advance the
assessment In 1903. but did advance It In
1904. We made the assessment on our b.'st
Judgment, which was fair In comparison
with other property. Our duty under the
new law was to find the actual value and
assess at one-fifth. The assessment was
made according to the statements and
schedules filed with the board by the rail
roads as required by law. We had also
other sources of Information regarding the
railroad valuations and the total aggre
gates were about the same as returned by
the railroad schedules and were corrobo
rated by them."
Baldwin Technical Points.
Mr. Baldwin then undertook o ascertain
from the governor his understanding of the
meaning of tangible and Intangible property
of the railroads. There was considerable
misunderstanding as to the legal definition
of tangible and Intangible property and this
matter was gone Into at length as to the
technical meaning of the words tangible
and Intangible. The governor held that
tangible property was visible property,
while intangible meant the franchise and
earning rapacity of the road and Its
branches. The assessment was made upon
124.676,037.84 of tangible and (28,2)2.017 Intangi
ble property.
Mr. Baldwin Insisted that there had been
an Increase of 114. 8 per rent In the as
sessment of 1904 over that of 1903.
Almost the entire morning was consumed
In technical questions and Inquiries as to
bow the state board reached Its estimate of
valuation.
Governor Mickey said:
"The best that the board could do was to
estimate the value of the railroad property,
and the total of $52,878,049 was simply an
estimated value and not an assessed or ac
tual valuation. This was arrived at by
comparisons with values fixed by other
roads and such Information as the board
could glean from all sources "
Other State Officials.
Oovernor Mickey was excused from
further examination Thursday afternoon,
as he bad an appointment to attend the un.
Telling of tha aoldlrrs' monument at forest
I.awn cemetery, and hla examination will
be resumed Friday morning.
Btate Treasurer Mortensen was called to
tha stand Thursday afternoon and bis testl
ninny was of the same general character as
that given by Governor Mickey In the morn
Ing. The entire afternoon was devoted to
the examination of Treasurer Mortensen.
State Secretary Marsh and ex-lAnd Com
mlsalnner Follmer are yet to testify, but
neither has been called to the stand.
