LINCOLN. May 14 (8peclal.) Thia
waa th I'nlon pacific, day before tho
fltate Board of Assessment. For ov.e
two hours In the morning K. J. Clan-y,
rtlng ta agent toi thta corporation.
tacked up statement and figures to
cVnvlnc. the board his corporation had
been over valued during the last few
years and demanded a reduction, while
In tha afternoon Tax Commissioner Scrib
iier. who has been 111 for the last year,
fain made his appearance and talked
briefly. Owing to his health Mr. Scribner
was not present at the board meeting
last year. During the morning Tax Agnt
Mulligan of the Rock Island took a few
minutes' time to tell tho board his road
wss satisfied as the assessment now
stood.
Clancy made the big argument of tha
day and f ram a railroad standpoint the j
board members admitted he did well.
What effect the argument will have, how
ever, when It is studied by the members
when not under the Influence of Clancy's
oratory, the members did not say.
Clancy argued against the use of the
storks and bonds as a basis for finding
the value of a railroad, unless the proper
deductions were made the road to decid
the "proper" deductions. He opposed the
use of the net earnings theory for valu
ing the road In Nebraska, unless the
board eliminated the earnings on through
traffic. Qrosa earnings, he said, was of
no significance, as on local business
brought In on branch lines the expense
was In many instances greater than tho
charge made.
He defended the action of the Union
Pacific In bringing Its injunction suit to
restrain tha collection of Its taxes. He
denied emphatically that any school dis
trict had been Injured by reason of this
suit. Had the money been paid under
protest, he said, aa many newspapers de
manded, and then suit brought to recover,
the people would not have been benefited,
aa the money would have been kept
locked up In the treasuries of the various
counties until the litigation had ended.
On the other hand, he said, if the rail
road lost the suit. It would pay tho
various , counties 10 per cent Interest.
While the money In dispute was now
drawing 10 per cent, providing the suit
Is won by the State, he said, the various
schoo) districts, If they are in need of
money, can borrow money at less than
( per cent.
Moreover in five of the twenty-seven
ccuntles traversed by the I'nlon Paclflo
all the taxes charged in 1905 have betm
paid, while all but four counties have
taken the amount tendered, leaving but
small per cent of the taxes unpaid.
Clancy objected to a hign valuation be
cause, he said. In the western part of the
state tha road paid nearly all of the school
ta
a
w
ta
tax and In these counties, by reason of
at, tha levy was high. On this subject he
said:
In the twenty-three states and territories
west of the Mississippi river the average
taxes per mile of railroad Is less than $2u0.
in tne state or Nebraska the average
taxes per mile of the I'nlon Psclflc for
IK was $412 93. or an amount more than
100 per cent greater than the average tax
In all the transmlsslssippl states and terri
tories. (
Storks aad Bonds Baals.
Clancy argued against fhe 'use of the
storks and bonds as a basis of valuation
because, he said, the value of these was
not fixed by the income, but was subject
to change for various reasons. For In
stance, he said, while the nearest physical
property of the Union Pacific was 600 miles
away from the San Francisco earthquake,
there was a decline In the market value of
the common stock of ten points, making
Its market value (16.000,000 less than before
tha disaster.
H filed with the board a detailed state
ment showing the total stocks and bonds
of the Union Pacific and auxiliaries
amounted to 35S8.7G.094. less deductions of
bonds In other companies, land assets,
water line property and property assessed
locally, making a total of 2S2,674,3-'6 left
the Union Pacific stocks and bonds valued
at 1330.034.768.
Discussing these figures. Clancy said:
Main line mileage. 5.617 30 miles; per mile,
As has been stated, however, the
stocks and bonds also cover In addition
1(.7 miles of double track. 26S miles of
water lines and a large amount of other
property locally assessed, and a proper ap
portionment would, therefore, greatly re
duce the average value per mile as given
here.
Of the physical property valuation Clancy
aid:
In tha value' of the physical properties
of the Union Pacific In Nebraska there is
no appreciable change from last year. Mak-
Caiv You
the "Yellow" Streak?
All got one, you know. Some small, some large. The .more "yellow" in your make-up.
the less the yellow gold in your character and pocketbook.
Is your yellow streak the coffee habit ? - Does it reduce your working force, kill your en
ergy, push you into the big crowd of mongrels, deaden what thoroughbred blood you may have
and neutralize all jour efforts to make money and fame? '
It does that very thing for thousands who don't suspect it. Languid, half sick with stom
ach and bowel troubles, heart
handicaps nowadays, when the world only yields the crown for the best efforts of keen people.
, Try leaving off coffee for 10 days. Build back to a clear-cut mind and healthy body by
Portum Coffee. That's the true route to health, and with bounding, exuberant health you ac
quire "Energy plus."
Then to "do things" is
"There'i a Reason."

Ing no allowance for depreciation, the value

mile as to main line and branches, of
3 JO, 630.
The full assessed valuation In Nebraska
n luw averaged a trine over ".'" per miie,
or an amount about three times greater
than the average value per physical mile
and about $12,000 per mile more than the
avernan rar value per net stock and bond
mile, not Including double track, water
lines and property locally aasossea.
Clancy assured the board he was for a
uniform assessment and he qvioted from su
preme court opinions at length that an
assessing board, If necessary, had the right
to violate a statute In order to get a unl
form assessment and a Just assessment
He dwelt at length on the assessment of
lands and held they had been assessed too
low In comparison with railroads.
Scribner Makes Comparisons.
Tax Commissioner Scribner asserted the
Union Pacific had been Injured by the
reports in newspapers of the value of
stocks snd bonds and he quoted from a
recent article that the value of the road,
based on the Income, was some $111,000 a
mile, when, as a matter of fact, only the
mileage of the Union Pacific had been
taken into consideration. The divisor ehoul
have been, he said, the entire mileage of
the holdings of the rosd, as well as the
Union Pacific. He hoped the board wojld
not consider those figures as they were
published.
Mr. Scribner said his road expected to
pay on Intangible property as well as on
the physical property. In Michigan, he
said, the Intangible property brought the
assessment up 20 per cent In excess of the
tangible property value, while In Wlscon
sin, he said, the Intangible value brought
up the total valuation some 33 per cent
But In Nebraska the Intangible property
was valued at over 300 per cent more than
the tangible property. He hoped the board
would seriously consider this state of
affairs. He also called upon the board
to remember that land had Increased In
value during the last two years, and to
bring about uniform assessment he hoped
the board would consider this when assess
Ing the railroads.
During Clancy's argument, when be con
eluded his talk on the value of the road
on the stocks and bonds basis. Treasurer
Mortensen dug down somewhere In the
dark recesse. and brought out the ru-
mem nicu wmi ino uuaru itiai ycui, at me
same time remarking . that he was glad
Mr. Clancy had. agreed hla road had been
assessed at its proper value.
"According t. your own statement, your
road has increased over $15,000,000 since last
year. You say on the value of the stocks
and bonds your road Is worth $60,900 a year.
We assessed' It last year at $60,000. Last
year on the stock and bond basia you
argued your road was worth 345,853 a mile,
so I think you have at last come around
to our way of thinking."
Clancy explained that material deduc
tions should be made from the $60,9u0 and
when this was done, he said, his position
would be the same as last year.
The Burlington Is to have Its Inning to
morrow. Brief In School Case.
The legal department today filed a brief
In the supreme court In support of its
application for a mandamus to compel
the school board of Lincoln to permit the
children of state officers to attend school
without paying tuition. On the theory tha):
these officers did not maintain a legal
residence In the city of Lincoln the school
board shut out their children from the pub
lic 'schools until tuition wss paid. Attor
ney General Brown maintains the school
board has no right to exact this tuition,
because there Is no statute for It. He holds
that the constitutional provision that
schools shall be free to children of the ages

Drs. Alden and Nicholson Challenge
Authority of Governor.
(From a 8taff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, May 14,-(Speclal Telegram.)
The hearing granted Dr. J. M. Aldon and
Dr. Frank 8. Nicholson, superintendent and
physician at the Norfolk Insane asylum,
who are resisting the demand made by
Governor Mickey for their resignations,
started before the governor tonight and
was continued after the attorneys for the
doctors objected to the right of the execu
tive to hear the case. Dr. Alden was rep
resented by Attorneys Robertson, Mapes
and Tyler of Norfolk, while Dr. Nicholson
was represented by Attorney Doyle of Lin
coin. They asserted under the law It was
the duty of the Board of Public. Lands and
Buildings to hear the complaints a'nd to
make a report to the governor. The latter
then asked for time In which to consult
with the legal department and the hearing
will be set some time In the future,
It Is charged by the governor, based on
Information received from a former em
ploye of the Institution and from Dr. Nlch
olson, that Dr. Alden was Incompetent to
properly manage the institution; that he did
not maintain harmony among the employes;
allowed employes to brutally treat the In
mates; failed to make reports of condition
to the governor. Practically the same
charges are made against Dr. Nicholson.
As evidence to sustain his action in re
moving the two officers. Governor Mickey
has a letter from a former employe named
Wolfe, who told of the death of two In
mates who had been beaten by employes,
After receiving this Information Governor
Mickey wrote Dr. Nicholson for the facts
In the case. In answer to his Inquiry Dr.
Nicholson wrote that a patient named Mil
ton Shockley had been beaten by a guard
and later had been Jabbed In the side by
a guard, who used a broomstick. A week
later, the letter said, the man died from
the injuries received. John Prosser, aged
year(! e wrote nad bee klcked an(1
later died from the effects of the blow.
A guard, he wrote., had. Jumped on the
stomach of James Balrd, who later died
from the effects of his Ill-treatment. Other
patients, he said, had been cruelly treated
and Dr. Alden was aware of the fact.
Governor Mickey asserts also that Nich
olson kept a false record In order to hide
these facts. On the other hand attorneys
for the two doctors assert they will be
able to refute all of this testimony. Dr.
Alden did not appear at the hearing, though
Dr. Nicholson was In attendance.

I began to take It my cough lessened, so
we sent for a dozen bottles, and 1 am now
as well as ever.

all summer. He was down with backache
till he could hardly move, and now he is
as well aa anybody. 1 ain stouter than I
have been since we were married.
"Please send us another dozen bottles,
as we cannot get along without It." MRM.
