it TIIE OUATTA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY. .JCLY 24. 190G. i DOUGLAS PROTEST FIZZLES Lincoln Partiea Fail to Cam la with Any Formal Complaints. GOVERNOR MICKEY DENIES INTERVIEWS Repudiates la m Hoenaaboat War Ulcaeil fttrlctarea ea Fellow Member a of gtate Board ( Asaraeat. (From a Btalt Correspondent). LINCOLN, July Bpeclal. Th In ability of the Lincoln paper to make food on their stories that Douglas county la ae ressed too low and the tacit denial made by Governor Mickey at Interviews printed during- the last month, charting Searle. Laton and Oalusha with being toola of the railroad, were the features of the meeting of the State Board of Equalisation this morning and the latter feature waa auff.clentiy humorous to cause a smile when It waa found Governor Mickey had been bluffing Instead of holding a pat hand. Tax Commissioner Scrlbner called the governor. lie began to read from a local paper an Interview with the govenor, de nounclng the majority members of the Ecard .of Assessment. This started Imme diately after the executive had mads his a.tieotyped speech that "I want to be fair and honest and onTy want to do my buty, giving every man a right to his opin ion." "If you are fair and just and want to be honest, why do ynu bring politics Into t..o assessment of railroads?" Inquired Mr. Eciibner. "Why do you say the republican parly should not nominate such men, or why do you mention any political party In tuis r.-.atter?" "iJo you believe everything you see In tfco newspapers?" answered the governor, "ihere Is a record of what I did on the Board of Assessment tx. e you Just take that and don't tahe the newspapers." Itn this larlt denial of the Interviews the which he has been quoted since the meet lnjs of the Btate Hoard of Assessment l.ai'o been concluded, the governor quickly danged the subject and Auditor Searle ar.d Land Commissioner Eaton hud noth ing to say. The governor's gig back was in the presence of a good-sized audience and a rmlle almost audible went around the room. Lincoln Falls to Make Mood. Hxriy Keed, assessor of Pouglas county, wss called before the board at the re quest of the News-Journal of Lincoln, t.iese papers having been printing a tirade against the Omaha assessment aa part of their political program. ' With Mr. Reed were Attorneys Baldrige. Kennedy and Gaines, and after Mr. Reed had been questioned informally concern ing the assessment of cattle, Mr. Bald r.dgo asked for the complaint which the Lincoln people had filed with the board against the Omaha assessment. They haven't filed any complaint tiat I know of," replied Secretary Bennett. "I don't see that we can do anything at all. than." said Mr. Baldrldge. "If thera Is nothing for us to answer. But I will Just say this for the benefit of the board. You have an abstract of the assessment of Douglas county, made under oath by tho county assessor. That la evidence. On the other side there in nothing filed. Some talk has been made, but nothing that can be considered evidenca. It looka to me like the aworn statement of an om elet would be taken by this board In preference to street talk made 'by people who know nothing of the value of Douglas rounty property. I should think thla board wou'd prefer to take the sworn statement rf the assessor of Douglas county than to make a guess at the value of property about which they know nothing." '' "Mfc'SeVnVrtfrr" ;eifggested" "Mt. Morten sen, "you ought to know something of the arsessTrnt In Douglas county. What do yen trlnk about it." "I will Just say, gentlemen," answered Scrlbner, "If all the real estate In the s'ate had been assessed as fairly aa haa that In Douglas county I would not be here making a complaint. I think Mr. Tesd has done his duty and done It well. What property he haa valued he has val ued good compared with the other counties of the state, though I do not doubt much property has escaped, though the assess ment Is as good as any In the state." Aa the calamity howlers In Lincoln failed to make any kind nf a showing, the board took no action regarding Douglas county, promising to notify Mr. Reed if any com plaint waa filed. Berlbaer Filea Flo-are. Mr. Scrlbner took the ground that the board, under the revenue law, had a right THREE FACTS i For Sick Women To Consider Fimt.

Barely, any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish if ahe doea not take adraatag of this gaaarvu offar of sislataac) to raise the assessment of rl estate. He argued either for an tn crease in the assess ment of this clata of property or decrease In railroad property. Mr. Scrlbner Oled with the board a state ment of the sale! of real estate made In a number of counties to show the aswes merit wsa not on the basts of tbe salea value of the land, which, he said, waa the true value of the land. The following table shows his deductions from the records of sales made, the assessment being based on the sale value: Per Cent of Sale Value. County. M.

The right of the board to do this was disputed by Qovemor Mickey and the legal department of the state will be asked to give the board a written opinion on the question. The atatutea require tbe assess ment of real estate every four years. Troakle Selerttaa; Delegates. H. J.

THOMPSON Hitchcock la for Shallenberorer, the .Favorite of the Railroads, So a Merry Time Is Anticipated at State Convention. Indications abouna that the Dougl-s county delegation to the democratic state convention August 15 will go to Lincoln divided in Its preference for a guberna- j tonal canainaie unless iooe rnun im tagonlsms are picked up . and reconciled before that date. Both the lahlman and anti-Dahlman or Hitchcock factions claim a majority of the delegates, and as there has been no opportunity for a counting of noses the point is in the air and open to dispute. Mayor Pahlman has come out as a champion of VV. H. Thompson for governor If the Grand Island man will accept the candidacy. He bo announced Monday morning without reservation. The Hitch cock clan had picked out Shallenberger as its man for the place and many of the delegates, chosen at the primary, have been avowed exponents for Shallenberger, who la the railroads' favorite candidate. The mayor and his supporters have been silent until this week as to their choice. but his honor's statement haa cleared up that end of the situation. "Hasn't it been understood that Thomp son is a senatorial candidate?" was asked the mayor. "Yes, but I have been given to under stand he would arcept tha nomination for governor," waa the reply. "As I take It the senatorial candidacy depends a good deal upon developments. From what I have heard' from men out In the state there is a general feeling against nominat ing a candidate for senator at tne state convention or of adopting the plan of sub mitting the matter to a referendum vote. I do not think the state convention will take action on the senatorial proposition at all. This would leave Mr. Thompson free to be a candidate for governor. May Be t'anrua in Few Dnya. "No caucus has been held or called of the IXHiglai county delegates, but I sup pose one will be a few days before the convention. We may go down to Lincoln divided, but 1 am in hopes there will be an agreement to support Thompson for governor. I think in all events the ma jority of the delegation will be for him." Omaha democrats who handle party af fairs have about decided to put forth a Louglas county man for the state railroad commission. Who the candidate will be has not been decided, nor has the subject reached the point of mentioning names. But the matter is under consideration and It will be up to the delegation to agree upon someone If it can. This promises to be the only candidate for a state office Omaha will ask for 'at the democratic con vention, and under these circumstances there is a feeling that the prlxe should be easy to obtain. Boiler is for Beria, Joe Rutler, one of the state convention delegates, points out that a number of the convention representatives from Douglas county may see fit to disregard the wishes of both Mayor Dahlman snd Mr. Hitchcock. ' "I am for George W. Berge." says Mr. Butler. "No one, either mayor or editor, can control my vote, and If I am not mis taken aom thirty or more delegatea from Omaha will vote for Berge, too." Something of a contsst Is pending in Distinguish Schlitz beer from the common. Other beer may be equal to Schlitz in your liking.
