(Special.) The Union Pacific and the Northwestern bad their It.nlngs before the State Board of Assessment today. General Attorney Benjamin T. White and Frank P. Crandon representing the latter road, and Ta Commissioner A. W. Scrlbner the Union Pacific Purine the time between the hearings the Pullman Car company as aessment was taken up and unless the ecmpany asks for another hearing this matter will be disposed of shortly. The board Intends to set through with the hearing as soon sa possible, though It may be some tlm next week nefore all the corporations hare a bearing. The board deslrea to complete the hearings by Saturday, but one or two of the smaller roads asked for more time and they will be heard the first three days of next week. Crandea Dlseaaaes Talae. Mr. Crandon of the Northwestom laid great stress upon the deductions the board should make If It took the stocks and bonds plan of arriving at the Talus of his road. Under the stocks nd bonds plan he figured, after making the proper reductions the entire system ot the Northwestsrn would be worth less than til, 000 a mile that IS. every mile In the sand hills of Nebraska would ne worth Just as much as a mile of road In Illinois or other states. In arriving at Ita con clusions ha urged the board to pay at tention to the property In Nebraska and not concern Itself with the terminals In Chicago. Discussing the vajue of his road In other states Mr. Crandon said In Iowa It waa valued at $ll,6J a mile; Wisconsin. I41.S4S; Michigan, 2t.5; South Dakota. M.I22. In Mlnneaota he said, where the tax was on the gross re ceipts, a senate committee had recom mended that this plan be changed and tb Northwestern be assessed at $22,000 a mile. In South Dakota he said no property was asaessed at Its ull value, while in Wisconsin the "Ixird only knows how railroads are assessed. We cer tainly get bumped up' there," he said, "and we hare never been able to And out how those people arrive at the value of a railroad. They won't tell u." Mr. Crandon told the , board terminal prop erties should be assessed where located. White Cites Chita Teraalaal. Ben T. Whits, general attorney foe the Northwestern, talked briefly aXter Mr. Crandon concluded, and when asked regard ing the plaoa where terminate ahould be assessed h said the Nebraska board should, of course, take into consideration the fact that Its lines were connected with the Chicago terminals, but he assured the board the extent of the Chicago terminals only rosd to file the exchange list, while the Union Pacific sent along a statement saying "except paases Issued In exchange with other common carriers and to our employe or other pas.es under contract and not regarded as free transportation." Thia la taken to mean that the other big roads will make the same kind of report, and the commission Is not just sure of Its ground In the matter, but will ask the attorney general for an opinion as to whether It Is not compulsory for the rail roads to report all pauses Issued, whether to employes or In exchange with other roads. . The reference to passes under con tract Is taken to mean contract with news papers, but there Is no foundation for this. The commission will also ask for an opinion regarding the right of the railroads to make such contracts. If any have been made. Among the passes given by the Union Pacific nearly all are to wives of em ployes, while thirteen constitute the annual list. Including watch Inspectors, who dom inate the list. Of those holding annuals who hare been In the public eye for some time are L D. Richards of Fremont, man ager of the stock yards, and W. O. Whlt more, manager of the atock yards at Valley. The Minneapolis ft Omaha has out tour teen annuals, and the St Joseph tt Grand Island fourteen. Issued to officers of the company. Special ates Permitted. The Railway commission this morning Issued an order to the Burlington allowing It to make a "special rate on brick from Gibson to Omaha of 1 cent and to South Omaha for 1 cents. Gibson Is about one mile from Omaha, and recently a brick yard was started there. A special rate was given the Burlington to haul straw from the nlghborhood of Lincoln to a paper mill which Is about to be started here. Bla; Sixth Is Prosperous. Congressman Kinkald of the Blx Sixth waa here last night on his way to Man hattan, Kan., on private business.

Mr. White told the I board that the consltutloa provided that all property should be asaessed on an equal ' basis and that notwithstanding the law I provided that real estate a ha 11 bo assessed, every four years, -the railroads should be aaseaaed on the same basis as real estate. Real estate, be said, bad been Increased 26 par cent in value sine. It waa - assessed. ' and If thia were true, as bad been stated. I the assessment of this class of property and railroads was not dona on the same basis, as the constitution provided. - falsa Paelsto Wants a Cat. ' A. W. Bcribner, tax commissioner of the Union Pacific, appeared before the board in the afternoon. At the conclusion of an address be asserted that If the rule s uniformity In taxation were Impartially ap plied to the assessment of the railroad property of the Union Pacific company In the state of Nebraska Its assessed valua tion would be fixed for the year, 1907 at not exceeding one-half of the assessment of Its lines for the year 190S. The Union Pacific was valued In 1906 a an average ot J62.S00, the main line being valued at )90,0C0 a mile. Mr. Bcribner aald the subject before the board resolved ' Itself Into two questions; first, the ascertainment of the true full or actual value of the property of the Union Pacific and second the valuation which ahould be placed upon such property for i taxation purposes In accordance, with the rule of uniformity In taxation prescribed in the constitution of the state.' He argued that Income from the business of a rail road, company should be given just as much weight by the board in arriving at the value of railroads as that element Is given by the local assessors In arriving at I the value of the property of other taxpayers I and no more. He submitted aa Itemised statement showing the actual present value of the railroad's tangible property which Is subject to assessment tor the year 197T. The total was as follows: Msln line, 467.31 miles, HI 108. HI; per mile, S34.4S&. Omaha at Republican Valley branch, 428.90 miles, t.OSM.rX; per mile, P.KS. Kearney branch, 74 miles, t&0t.O4; per mils, 17,737. Casltallsatlea f Tales. PacIS. The net capitalisation per mile of the Union Pact flo. said. Mr. Scrlbner, Is t47.4l Including the mileage of the two new prancnes id neorasaa wntcn are returned for taxation tcia year, toe central city branch and the Hershey branch, the value of the stocks and bonds per mile of road Is given as 147.101. DeducUng property sub ject to local assessment from the stocks and bonds value gives a net stock and bonds value of the property' of this com pany subject to assessment of H&.SG6 per mils. Mr. Scrlbner dwelt upon the constitu tional rule of uniformity, saying that ths constitution requires that all property In the state not expreaely exempted from tax ation shall be taxed in proportion to Its value, that ths courts have held that the constitutional provision enjoining aa equal ity and uniformity in taxation Is para mount and overrides acta of the legisla tors. In this connection be submitted a statement of tranafsrs of farm lands sold along the Has of the road for the year ending April L This statement covers transfers of lands, the prioe paid for which amounted m the aggregate to fit,. UT.ZU and the valuation for assessment of which' amounted to t9.992.sM, the assessed valuation being only 0 1 per cent of the sales valus. The Union Paclflo, Mr. Scrlb ner aald. paid tiH a mils taxes sa Its Ne braska road and S361 for ths entire systsm. rilln List of Passhsldrra.

SORTH PtATTB CITV AFFAIRS Rlectloa en Water Franchise Is Called for Jnn. NORTH PLATTE. Neb., May .-Ppe-clal.) The last session of the city council lasted until 1 o'clock this morning. The old council wound up Its affairs and the new was ore; an lied and the new city offi cer sworn In. After certain routine busi ngs the question of saloon licenses came up and licenses were granted to all those who conducted saloons here during the last year. The new applicant was Nlcko laua Klrsch of Grand Island. Dispute arose upon the application of the Union Pacific to have certain streets va cated and others opened for the accommo dation of the track extension and Improve ments planned by the railroad. The rail road made no offers to grade the streets to be opened In lieu of the already graded Streets which the railroad desires vacated, and some of the councllmen Insisted that the railroad should put these streets In as good ahape as those which they required to be vacated. The main fight of the evening came up when the water works corporation that owns the city plant here asked the council to pass an ordinance making a new con tract for twenty years, as the old contract expires next year. This ordinance was prepared In Pennsylvania by the expert attorneys of the North Platte Water Works company, which owlia a large number of water works plants throughout the coun try, and the terma of the proposed ordi nance were entirely favorable to that cor poration. The city council, however, de cided to refer the matter to a voto of the people and a special election will be held June 2S for that purpose. The prevalent sentiment here has been for municipal ownership of the city water works, but the present plant la regarded as behind ths times, poorly located and Inefficient, and. besides, the water works company demands a fabulous price for it. The condition of things now Indicates a strong fight on the question of granting the twenty-year fran chise, with odds against it. as the attitude of the entire council seemed to be oppoeed to anything that would bar municipal own ership, and thia attitude quite well reflects the sentiment of the major portion of the cltlxens of this city. !,' ' " r"", sasa. dSsmmSsnsnlBnnnBsnBnB Has lull and Hat FREE With livery HoyV Suit Boys' $5 and $6 Blue Serge Knee Pants Suits J) On Sale on Second Floor Old Store.
