Howard Cor. Sixteenth Stroat OPEN SATURDAY EVENINGS. ; " ' ' ' , dsr my amendment the Union Pacific will add to the value already apportioned to these towna 800,000 a mile. If this amend ment prevails i.000,000 worth of railroad property In Omaha and South Omaha will be distributed to the towns out In the atatJ. I see the gentleman from Douglas (Clarke) mile. I have charged him on the floor of this house with being greedy In this mat ter. If you believe In trie unit system, air, ! .for slate, school and county purpose, you must believe In It for city purposes. Omaha Is more Interested In the distribution cf the railroad property than In Its assessment" Clarke Replies to Ilanier. . "I rle to a question of personal privi lege." Interrupted Clarke. "The Increase of the assessment of railroad property In Ihl state was caused by publications In The Omaha Bee for years past. The rail road attorneys themselves put It Into the court records that this was lr;ie and that The Bee had caused the Increase In assess ment of railroad property. That shows whether Omaha Is Interested In the assess nient ff railroad property." ; Hamer closed hi remark with a dra ' matlo plea for "Justice and falrnes-' for his sun topped hills. "I waa expecting auch a motion either .from the gentleman from Buffalo or from ..the gentleman from Saundera." began , Clarke. "Neither- has been In favor of local assessment of railroad property" .. "Mr. Speaker. I object." Interrupted Cone of Saunders. "I told the gentleman from Douglas If he would get an honest bill I would support It" "Thl bill 1 honest," retorted Clarke. . "No It Isn t either" yelled Cone, and ..th apeaker stopped the dialogue. 'The purpose In -thle motion la delay,' continued Clarke. "The amendment would kill th bill. He want to make an amend atory act out of It.. If he want to amend m revenue taw let ni;n introduce a aepa- rata bill and not try to ruin thl one." . "Do you mean to go on record aa lawyer," retorted Ilamer, "that this amend ment rulna that bill do you, T say" Dob Clancy' Flue Work. "I mean to say," replied Clarke, "that tho amendmenta offered by you were of fered to one of the most prominent and re spected members of thla house by Bob Clancy, and he refused to Introduce them. The member can draw their own In ference a to where these amendments cunie from that you have Introduced. Here are some statistics prepared by the chief clerk to Bob Clancy. He haa left out the value of the franchise entirely In an effort to deceive the members of this house. We caught on to their game early and that is why the railroads have not been offering any more figures." Clarke then read a letter from Attorney General Thompson, who said In hi opinion the 1)111 would not reduce the assessment in any town In the state, but, on the other hand, would Increase the assessment. Former Chief Justice Sullivan also en dorsed the same sentiment. Clarke then concluded by showing If the Hamer amend ment carried. Lodge Pole and a few other little town would get- more railroad prop erty for. assessment, because of their mile age, than would Fremont and many of the other larger towns. And then he said: ' Mr. Speaker, I move the previous ques tion." Thl called forth aeveral protest. "That' what you call fair, la It?" yelled Cone of Saunders. "Tea; they are fair," chimed In Frank Young man Wlleon from Cuter The Hamer motion waa lost by a vote of 44 to 61. and when it waa announced Con said: "That's a sample of Omaha' falrnje." Final Vote on Bill. ' That shut off debate on the amendment. -Then came th vote on putting the pre vious question, and It carried by a vote of bi to 41.

The bill caused a deadlock In committee of the whole Thursday, but finally won out by a margin of one vote.
