Complaint has been made to State In
surance Deputy J. L. Pierce against a
surety rnmpany organized under the lawa
of Nebraska which la accuaed of making
only a partial report concerning" Ite col-
lections of premiums In order to avoid
lazes on us nusiness. it me rnaisr i
substantiated the insurance department
may administer slap on the wrist by
revoking the licenses of agents now em
ployed by the company. In that event
It will be necessary for the concern o
get aome new agents or take out the old
Dunnes anew. Mr. Pierce declines to
give the name of the corporation which
la aald to have dlaobeyed the lawa.
There are two eurety companies or
ranlaed In Nebraska, one having head
quarters In Lincoln and the other at
Omaha. The law requires them to puy
a teg of 2 per cent on all cash taken In
aa preieiuwa. The charge made against
the company In this case Is that It has
withheld some 6,fu or $7,000 from Its
report to escape the tax on that amount,
which would he i;o or upwards. Rep
resentatives of other surety concerns
have brought the complaint and are press
ing It. The l Insurance department ex
pecta to have a bearing upon It In the
near future.

L1NCOUN. Oct. 27. (Special. ) The puh
ltnatioti of the circular sent out by Chair
man Alien of the democratic state, com-
' mlttee has brought out a discussion aa to
whether the value of the railroad terminals
e-er had been distributed over the systcmc
for purposes of taxation,
flovenior Mickey and State Treasurer
j Mortensen both said today that In taxing
j railroads the board hud taken Into constdcr
I atlon the value of terminals, but that the
hoard then arbitrarily apportioned the en
tire value of a system of railroad between
the various separate corporations compris
ing th system. Thus some of the main
, 'line of the Burlington In western Nebrnska
was assessed at I6,uoo a mile, while a nearby
I branch, one t unnli g from Kene-aw to j DOI BI.K TH AC K OPK FROM ttH
Kearney. Is valued at $15,000 This arid- j
I trary apportionment of valu-s between
corKrations cuinpislnr the Iturllngton
system Is clte'd to show that instead of
J distributing the value of terminals the
I board. may have cut out such value entirely
In some Instances and given more than a
proportion to other separate cortiorrt
i tlo. Thla Is said to prove that no ono
J can Vlalm that hts county hna ever received
' nnjr benefit from the alleged distribution of
! the value of terminals.
"It la all a fake." said Secretary of State
I (lalusha. "The hoard had the value of
! terminals on the table, but It never as
I seated any road at mo much a mile and
j then added anything for the value or termi
i nals. 1. assert that the roads would have
been assessed Just as they were whether
or not they had any terminal at all."

The double track from Valley to Waterloo
has heeii In use a month and now the line
Is being used to Lane. The distance Is
about eleven mile from Valley to Lune.
A novel feature of tha new track la the
double line over the single-track bridge,
over the Elkhorn river here, made avail

means of frogs at both ends of the bridge
that allow west hound trains to use the
old track and east bound trains the nw

two older boys will take them overland
to Jackson If a reasonable price cannot
be secured. It was a severe rase of des

SHELDON ON ISSUES
by saying Nebraska has no laws to com
pel Justice ut tho hands of the railroads.
This matter, of course, he said. Is between
Flutes and will have to Ik- looked alii-r
by the interstate commission, but If Ne
braska had s commission with power' to
act that slate commission could easily get
rell-f by appealing to the national body.
Dumber, he said, was shipped from
Ixiuisinna 1,",U0 miles to Nebraska for
$3.75 nnd yet when It strikes Nebraska
and Is sent on to North Platte Soil miles
the freight rate is $r.;3. The coal rate
from Grand Island to Des Moines is S3.. VI;
to Col 11 minis is $3.75; from Omaha to
Columbus, ninety-one miles, $1.20 la
charged, while for the same distance
from Omaha over Into Iowa the charge
Is 94 cents; to Omaha the rate for a car
of horses Is $34. while on east It is
$.23.50; lumber to Columbus from Omaha,
$'.'.25 and cast ILSO; hogs, 15 ',4 cents
here, and east Into Iowa, 1014 cents; corn
to Omaha, 9'i cents, and eual to Chicago,
cents; wheat, 11 cents to Omaha and
104 cents on lo Chicago, after the ele
vators have been paid 1 U centa eleva
tion charge.
Fl pressed In t'oru.
Senator Sheldon figured It out that for
every 100 acres of corn shipped out the
farmer had to give the railroads thirteen
and one-half ncics. As a result of the
exorbitant freight rates, the Cnlon Pa
cific made In Nebraska last year $15,000
a mile; the Burlington und other roads in
proportion.
lie referred to the outriigeotM conduct
of the Cnlon Pacific and the Burlington
In refusing to pay their taxes, when aa
a matter of fact they were making more
money In Nebraska than In any other
state. Should Norris brown be elected
to the senate, he said, he would introduce
a hill to prohibit the railroads from en
joining the collection of their taxes In
the federal courts, aa the people are now
enjoined in the state courts.
The time to act la no-, he told his audi
ence. The republican party will give re-

or would you prefer the democratic plan,
which even they themselvea cannot ex.
plain?"
Applying the lass.
Mr. Sheldon said he favored a-2-cent
passenger tare, but not as the democratic
cundidate wanted it brought about. Some
of the roads, he said, could well afford lo
charge less than a 2-cenl fare, hut an
other tittle road could show it was not
making any money on the actual Invest
nient. Thia road, he understood, was owni d
by Hill, and should he bring suit the en
tiie law could be knocked out, whll under
his Idea the passenger rales could be ad
Justed by the railroad commission the same
11a freight rates.
"Why the railroads charge audi exor
bitant freight rates in Nebraska and less
In other states I do not understand," be
said, "unless It la- the policy of the rail-
1 roads to charge Just as much aa the freight
will b-ar and in Nebraska there la nothing
to hinder them." Then he quoted figuica
to shoe,- the people of thla democratic
stronghold what Injustice waa being done
them.
He told that coal la shipped down from

of oratory. He ph.ged into his-'subject
with his first words and stuck to It for
nearly two hours. He was earnest and
sincere. He held fhe attention of the
crowd, which had waited so long for hint,
not by funny stories Hnd platitudes, bin
by stern and grim facta and by his sin
