LINCOLN. Neb.. May I. (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

hattan, Kan., on private business. Judge

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.

' 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

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.

not all killed In this section. They agreed
that there was yet a chance to receive 6
per cent of a normal apple crop and they
thought the yield would be that much at
least. It was the opinion that all the
pears, cherries, plums and apricots were
killed by the late cold weather. The fruit
men expect to have some retches, but by
no means a normal crop. Orapes, straw
berries, raspberries and blackberries are
