County ABsoaaor Reed figures that about
$5,01)0,000 worth of tangible property will
be added to the assessment rolls (or the
payment of city taxes by the passage ot
the terminal tax bill If It finally be
oomee a law. This Is only for
taxation for olty purposes, on the one
fifth taxation basis as the county, stats
aad school assessment will be reported to
the state board the sane as heretofore.
As The Bee pointed out In an editorial
recently showing the terminal tax bill
should be passed, the total railroad ter
minal valuation In Omaha, according to
the assessment for the current year, Is
tas.4Za.780. This valuation has nsver been
questioned or contested by the railroad;
they have only questioned the jurisdiction.
On the one-flfth valuation basis this would
yield to the city of Omaha upward of IXO,
000 taxes for city purposes which It does
not now get The Union Pacific terminals,
the most valuable, are placed at Slfi.OOO.OuO
and on that It paid to the city for school
taxes only W. 009. 41
These figures were based on the bill as
originally Introduced. Since then H has
been amended In the house so as to provide
for assessment of franchise and rolling
took valuations by the state board and
their distribution, which will prove an ad
vantage for the smaller and a disadvan
tage for the larger terminals. Under the
bill, as amended, the best estimates place
the amount of additional revenue from It
for Omaha at between 1100,000 and $1X1,000
a year.
Ca the Old Law.
Under the old law as Interpreted by the
state board the ground under the Union
Paolfio shops was assessed by the stats
board and distributed, but the shops and
shop machinery were assessed locally at
about tSOO.OOO. The Union Pacific bead
quarters was assessed locally at 1S6.500 and
the Burlington headquarters at $130,000.
By the passage of the new law the slds
tracks will be added to the local assessment
roll, the west end of the Union Pacific
bridge, the uVpots and the shop grounds.
The freight depots will be changed from
the state board to be assessed locally and
the new Northwestern depot will also be
ansoHscd for local purposes Instead of being
able to escape taxation for the city as
would have been the case under the old
law. This was one of the sore points for
here were four city blocks, taken right off
the assessment roll because they were
bought by a railroad company.
' Bualneas Men Gratified.
The news of the bill's passage brought
great cheer to those business men who
have stood with The Itee for years In this
fight. F. V. AVead, one who has been
active, voicing the general sentiment, said:
"I think the bill will add value to city
and village property within the state of
Nebraska, because It will Increase to a
perceptible extent net earnings of such
property. In Omaha It will undoubtedly
decrease the taxes on all other property,
both roal and personal, at least 10 per
cent. It shows that when the people fully
understand a situation they decide rightly
and Nebraska Is fortunate In having a
legislature that is representative of the
people. We are to be congratulated for
having In Governor Sheldon a man with
convictions and backbone to stand by what
Is right. I think his Influence in Lincoln
has been felt by the legislature. It should
be said to his credit that he was favorable
to terminal taxation In two previous ses
sions before this measure became well
known and popular."
C. F. Harrison was another man to be
pleased with a telephone message be re
ceived Friday from W. O. Ure regarding
the passage of the terminal taxation bill
in the house.
"It Is a law." Mr. Harrison said, "that
la in the Interest of fairness and one to
which the railroads should not object. It
shows that the members of the legislature
did not believe the statements of railroad
representatives, that the smaller towns
would get less taxes under this method of
assessing railroad properly. We who fought
for terminal taxation four year ago went
against a stone wall In the legislatureand
it is gralfylng to note that many of our
legislators have taken the right view of
the bill."
So sure was Clancey at the outset that ter
minal taxation will meet the same fate at
the hands of this as it had at the hands of
other legislatures that he laughed and said:
"Ah, terminal tax, why, pahaw, that's
the least of our troubles. If we had noth
ing worse than that before us we'd have
easy selling. I'll pay all the terminal tax
the Union Pacific ever has to pay-"
So now it's up to Clanoey and It Is sup
posed he will have to turn over at least
two of his monthly pay checks to liquidate
the Union Pacific's share of the first pay
ment at any rate;
Railroad attorneys and officials In Omaha
do not care to talk at any great length on
this subject just now. The first Informa
tion the Union Pacific legal department
had ot the passage of the bill came from
The Bee.
"Is that a factT" was) the response, when
one of the attorneys was advised ct the
faot. "What was the vote? Do you know
what. If any, amendments It carried T No,
we don't want to make any statement
now."
Jim Kelby, chief medicine man for the
Burlington In this legislature, was not ac
cessible at his offices.

ALL DEPENDS UPON OMAHA
Sneh la John l Keanedy's Version of
Mlaaoart River Approprla
tlon Matter.
"I do not understand that there will be
any special apportionment of the $160,000 ap
propriation made by congress for the Im
provement of the navigation of the Mis
souri river between Kansas City and Sioux
City to special districts between these
cities," said ex-Congressman John L. Ken
nedy Friday morning, speaking of the news
from Washington. "The greater amount of
the money will go to the district that shows
the greatest activity by putting boats or
barges on the river and entering Into the
actual business of river transportation, and
who may then be enabled to say at what
points the channel ot the rivor should be
kept open.
"Brigadier General Alexander MoXensie,
chief engineer of the United States army,
has general charge of all the river and
harbor Improvement work and Colonel J.
B. Qulnn of Sioux City of the local work,
which Includes the Omaha district.
"I do not think much ean be accomplished
unless the Omaha people wake up to the
fact that the Missouri river Is a navigable
stream and thus demonstrate their faith
by their works In showing a disposition to
utilise the Missouri for transportation pur
poses. So you see it depends wholly upon
what Omaha does to entitle It to any con
siderable part of the appropriation by prov
ing the earnestness of the city to do Its
part toward reopening Missouri liver navi
gation. The prime object of the appropria
tion la to keep the channel of the river
clear. Hence Omaha interests must get a
move on themselves If they expect to get
any share of the money."

"I do not believe the current of prosperity
has been checked by it," said President B.
L. Wlnchell of the Rock Island In Omaha
Friday, speaking of recent legislation af
fecting railroads. "Of course there are some
people who think they see bad things in
store for this country, but I am not one
of those. Among those who take the view
opposite from mine are many well-informed
men and I may be wrong and they right."
As the president's special on the Rock
Island road bearing Mr. Wlnchell, Second
Vice President Mudge, Third Vice President
Blddle and Superintendent Cable pulled
Into Union station Friday noon reporters
approached the most democratlo-appearing
man In the party and asked for the list of
the members of the official party. The
affable gentleman gave the list of the
members, said they would remain In Omaha
until 1 o'clock In the afternoon; that they
were simply making a trip over the lines.
as it was their habit to keep going most of
the time, and that they had had a pleasant
trip through Iowa.
"But you did not mention the name of
Presidents Wlnchell In the list you gave
us," said one of the reporters.
"Well, I am Wlnchell," said he who Is
at the head of the great Rock Island sys
tem.
Wishes for Omaha Terminal.
"I only wish we had some terminals In
Omaha so I could discuss the terminal tax
ation measure with you. I am sorry we
have not," said Mr. Wlnchell.
"It is a mistake for the people to cry
that every move the railroads make at
this time Is done In the spirit of retaliation.
When states pass t-osnt laws and other
adverse railroad measures the railroads
have to make radical changes to adjust
themselves to the conditions, and because
some of these are radical measures I do
not think It right to say these things are
done In a spirit of retaliation."
When asked If he coincided with Presi
dent Roosevelt's views on the matter of
taking the state control of railways away
and putting more control In the hands of
the federal government, Mr. Wlnohell said
he had not read the president's views on
that subject, but he said he thought It
wrong to have railroads reported at several
different valuations for dlferent taxation
purposes.

CITY UNDER INJUNCTIONS
Sonth Omaha Mayor and Conncll Are
Restrained In Two Dif
ferent Spots.
The mayor and city council of South
Omaha Thursday were placed under the
weight of two Injunctions.
An injunction was Issued In the district
court Friday against the city of South
Omaha, the mayor and city council en
joining them from raying out any money
for the purchase of tracts for the new city
park. The Injunction was Issued on peti
tion of Frank G. Wallweber, who alleges
that the $40,000 bonds voted by the city
were for purchasing and Improving a tract
for a city park. He sets forth the entire
sum excepting only $5,600, was xpended In
the purchase of land as follows: Patrick
Hoctor, $4,000; A. C. Kennedy, $11,000; Ed
ward J. Dee. $4,4CO; John J. Ryan, $5,000.
These proposals were accepted by the
mayor and city council March 19, 1907.
An Injunction was Issued at the request
of Hugh Murphy in the district court Fri
day against the mayor and city council of
South Omaha. By it the defendants are
prevented from Interfering with Murphy In
the removal of 350,000 paving brick and 1,000
yards of broken stone distributed along
Missouri avenue.
Murphy entered Into a contract with the
city of South Omaha July 27, 1905, to pave
Missouri avenue from Thirteenth to
Twenty-fourth streets. Subsequently he
abandoned the contract, claiming It was
void. The city then set about doing the
paving, but was enjoined by Mike Brunskl
and other property owners from assessing
the cost against the property owners or
proceeding with the paving.
The matter has stood In this stats since
then, but when Murphy sttempted to haul
sway the brick and material he was pre
vented from doing so. It will corns up
March 80 for hearing.

GROWTH OF NORTH PLATTE

Oatsldera Reallao, Saye M.
II. Douglas,
"The people of Omaha don't realise what
a thriving city we have In the western part
of the state," said M. II. Douglas of North
Platte, representative of the Union Paclflo
dlvlitton No. SS of the Brotherhood of Lo
comotive Engineers, who is In Omaha to
arrange for the great May party which
that order will give at North Platte May 1.
"North Platte Is the center of great rail
road activity," said Mr. Douglas, as he
sat at the Merchants hotel and told of the
mttgnltudd of their May party. "We do
things right when we do them, and our
May party, which Is the twenty-fifth anni
versary of the formation of the brother
hood, will be a hummer. It will cost us
about $500 to get the Fort Crook band for
the occasion, but we must have the best
there Is. We are building a new hotel and
are trying to learn from Omaha's faults
and keep ahead of the time with hotels,
although I will have to luimlt they are
pretty crowded there now, with the great
rush of lunleekera the Burlington and the
t'nlon Pacific are sending out by the train
load to populate the weoL
"We will eoou be raising so much In those
valleys that It will take an extra line of
rails to bring in the products to market.
We now don't foul around with carloads,
but ship sugar beets and hay out by the
trainloud. This prosperity In the west Is
bound to reflect In Omaha, which gains
from all the good that Is dou la the west.
We rely on Omaha for the news and other
things and are proud of the metropolis."
ANOTHER LARGE HOSPITAL
Pretentions Institution la Contem
plated ' In Omaha If Suitable
" ilte Can Be Obtained.
Capitalists and Prestjyterlan philanthrop
ists of western Iowa have recently made in
quiry in Omaha for choice sites for the
erection of a large hospital and the matter
has been taken up by several prominent
Omaha physicians and churchmen with a
view to acquiring a site.
It Is deemed certain that a mammoth
hospital will be erected if a site Is donated
for the purpose, but the chief obstacle Is
securing a free site of sufficient slse In a
desirable location. The promoters of the
hospital were offered a large tract of
ground by Dr. S. D. Mercer for the pur
pose, but It Is desired to secure three or
four acres and that offered by Dr. Mercer
was deemed too small.
It Is reported the hospital would be
operated In connection with the Presby
terian hospital of this city, but would be
larger and more pretentious than any of
the Omaha hospitals.
MOST CRIMINALS IMPORTED
Five-Sixths ot Those Tried In Last
Tears Were Negroes from
Sonth.
William Cook, colored, who broke into a
box car and stole some notions, pleaded
guilty Friday and was sentenced by Judge
Troup to two years In the penitentiary.
James Dlbbs, colored, was dismissed and
his case nolled. He was accused of break
ing and entering but evidence against him
was meager.
With the disposition of these two cases
the criminals awaiting trial have been
pretty well disposed of. It Is a remarkable
fact that at least five-sixths of the men
who have been on trial In the criminal
court In the last year were colored. The
packing houses that Imported these negros
from all over the south during the strike,
are generally held to blame for this great
epldemlo of crime.
It bss been a great expense to the county
for all the men are destitute and all take
advantage of their right to have counsel
appointed for them at the county's expenso.
Usually the attorney finds he has no case
at all and the plea Is changed to guilty at
the last moment after the witnesses have
been subpoenead and sometimes a jury
empaneled. George Smith, colored, who
was tried a few days ago Insisted on his
plea of not guilty and a trial had to be
gone through with though he was caught
red handed In the crime by two policemen
and had not the shadow of a defense. He
will draw several extra years in the peni
tentiary for insisting on his plea of not
guilty.
