to make the assessment without deduc
tions. The board did make every reduc
tion asked. Railroad property consists of
something else besides its rolling stock,
tools and track. Franchlsrs are not meas
ured by the valuation of tangible property.
There Is no relation between the two. The
conclusion of counsel for the railroad Is
utterly unwarrantable In the statement
that the board was Influenced by the clam
ors of the public press.
"The best Information Justified the fix
ing of a valuation of from .( to ,
per mile, but the final assessment was on
the basis of but $.!.. 750 per mile."

Attorney General Norrls Brown for the
state, assisted by County Attorney Sla

The entire forenoon waa taken up with
the argument of Mr, Greene, who main
tained that the taxes should not be levied
upon the entire road, but locally. He said
In effect:
"Of the JlTV.iioMmi of the stocks and bonds

could properly be credited to Nebraaka.
Hast of the Missouri river the railroad
serves a population of 14.orm.nnn, while west
of the river there is a population of less
than 4.ou0,oii'. The road has an approxi

than one-half Is west of the river. The en

Board of Equalisation whereby to deter

Kqnallty of Valuation.
"One mile of a railroad on the basis of a
lax valuation Is as valuable as any other
mile. That Is so far as the road Is consid
ered in Its entirety a mile of railroad pass
ing a farm In Sarpy county is Just as val
uable as a mile of that same road passing
through a city. A part of land appropriated
for the right-of-way of a railroad loses its
commercial significance and value other,
than as on integral part of the entire rail
road system. j
"A railroad Is simply an organisation,
not an aggregation of wood, steel and roll
ing stock. The lands of the right-of-way
cease to have a commercial value In them
selves. They are valueless for any other
purpose than the railroad and as a part of
the organism of that road. This is a scien
tific and philosophical fact that Is scien
tifically and philosophically sound. Take
the tangible property, stocks and bonds as
a whole, divide It by the total mileage, and
then arrive at the value by counties, as Is
done in other states, and you will reach
the assessable valuation of that property,
and by no other fair way."
orrls Brown Argues.
Mr. Oreene concluded his argument at
S:; Wednesday afternoon and was followed
by Attorney General Norrls Brown for the
State Board of Kqualizatlon. He proceeded
to show the difference between the old and
the new state revenue laws, showing that
under the old law the county boards of
equalization were the courts of final re
sort In local tax matters, hut that under
the new law no equalization Is final until
passed ution by the State Board of Kqual
izatlon. He said In part: "t'lider this new

proprietors of the saloons in question testi
fying that they intended to have nothing
to do with the business.
Charles Broderson. who has applied for

himself. Frank Dinuszo, the present pro
prietor, said on the stand he would have
no Interest In It after the year expired.
Edward Rosewater was sent for at the
request Of Mr. Thomas and he declared
he had not rented the saloon and It looked
doubtful it he would.
Christ Nlelson, applying for a license at
Leavenworth street, said he would
run the saloon himself, and the present
proprietor, H M. Jensen, declared his In
tention of having nothing to do with It.
Julius Burster. Anheuser-Busch agent, said
he had made arrangements for Nlalsen
to run the saloon.
J. A. Nye, who wants to conduct ft busi
ness at 902 Capitol avenue, and the present
proprietors, Me.nllmher A Colwell, testified
as to their good faith. It was the same
way with Jacob Lewis, l"i8 North Ninth
street, and William Sutherland, who now
has the saloon. Fred II. Krug said if given
a license for business In the Lange hotel
he would run the saloon himself.
The application of Ike Schlank, 812 Dodge
street, waa withdrawn. The firm of Furth
Brothers was granted a wholesale liquor
license.
The board adjourned until 10 o'clock Fri

schedule the Burlington stated that the
stock had no market value for two or
more years. The true value of the stock
was marked 'blank' on that schedule. Is
this not an example of bad faith on the
part of the railroad? When this Injunc

did not know what, its stocks were worth.
Yet this stock three years before was
exchanged for bonds, two for one, bearing
4 per cent interest and the interest was

A QUESTION OF COST.
In any number of stores
you'll see various prepara

many different prices. You'll
wonder, perhaps, why Scott's
Emulsion costs more than
some other kind in as large
a bottle. Hearing only one
side of the question you may
be led into buying the "just
as good as Scott's" at the
lower price. That's false
economy. Scott's Emulsion
costs more because it's more
expensive to make. Every
ingredient is tested and guar
anteed of the purest quality.
No adulteration, no shaving
of quality. There's no econ
omy in bargain medicine. If
you. can afford to experiment
with your health, substitutes
may satisfy you. We take it,
however, that you want a
pure preparation, a reliable
remedy and something that's
going to help you. That's
what you get in Scott's
Emulsion. Thirty years the
standard.

Announcements of th Theaters.
"The Marriage of KlUy," which comes to
the Boyd theater on Sunday evening for
a single performance, has become notable
lor Its perfectly legitimate comedy situa
tions, which never fail to pleaxe the mont
exacting auditor, hence Its unqualified suc
cess everywhere. The Jules Murry Comedy
company, headed by Miss Alice Johnson,
whose charming personality seems exactly
fined for the role of Kitty" Silvcrton, is
an organisation which has been much
praised for its artistic attainments. The
hit which the play and the company has
scored is attested by the success It has
met.
"ttlroughearl," the Indian and foot ball
play In which Robert Edeson snd company
will be seen at the Boyd theater for an
engagement that begins with a special mat
inee on Monday next, is one of the best
studies of the relations between the red
and white races ever offered. It was a
tremendous success In New York last
season, and has been very popular on Its
tour this season. The discussion it has
engendered is hardly equalled by any other
play.
