ANVIL CHORUS LOR SEW TAX
Corporations Jump on Proposition
with Both Feet.
ASSERT OCCUPATION TAX UNJUST
WaI Says Cllr Has No I.eal
' Ground for I Action and Olhera
Sj It Would Hamper
Improvement.
Official of the various public service
corporations In Omaha rcaent the propoe1
ordlnanrts of the. city council to compel
the c.'ctlon of a 6 rr cent occupation
tax proposed In the ordinances Introduced
In the council and declare that the city
cannot be built up by tearing down the
factors which have a large share In the
growth of the municipality.
Three of the companies the Independent
telephone, the gas and the electric light -are
now payutg small royalties , Into the
treasury of the city and therefore they do
not object as strenuously as some of the
others. .(
IMlt'poi;cy-of the city is to be the tax
ing of mr company and other public ser
vice corporations to death it Is certainly
a big mistake.'" said, Krank T. Hamilton.
president of the Omaha das company, when
asked as to h1 oplnlen of the ordinance
Introduced' by Councilman Kunkhouaer
Tuesday evening. "It la poor Judgment to
wade tntj xch poratlons that are building up
the city' and wherever It has been done It
has been proven a bad policy. Our com
pany Is now paying to the city 5 cents on
eery 1.GCO cubic feet of gas sold."
Ballard t.aasba at Rlval'a Fate.
William C. Bullard. vice-president of the
Independent Telephone company, had not
read the morning papers and knew nothing
of the proposed ordinances until asked for
an opinion. When shown the ordinance he
declared that he believed his company was
paying a large enough tax 2 per cent on
Its gross earnings and that It should not
be compelled to pay more. Mr. Bullard,
however, chuckled at the thought that his
rival telephone company and the other cor
porations might be compelled to pay a tax,
which they aro not now required to do.
'The Tostal Telegraph company Is not
a public service corporation, tne cuy naa
no hold on It, as It la a national affair
and does an Interstate business, and
therefore the council should not contem
plate the collection of an occupation tax,"
were the remarks of R. K. WHllams, local
manager of that company. Ha further
said that hla company is paying a large
property tax Into the city treasury and ex
cessive taxation should not be Imposed.
W. W. Umsted, resident manager of the
Western Union Telegraph company, de
clined to express an opionlon, but pre
sented the theory that the city should not
attempt to collect a tax for the occupancy
of Its streets for the reason that Its wires
are under ground and do not Interfere in
any way with traffic
No I.esral Riant Wattles.
"I'ndar the constitution of the state of
Nebraska the city of Omaha has not the
loral right at this time to levy a tax on
our property," said O. W. Wattles, presl
dent of the Omaha & Council Bluffs Street
Hallway company. "This question Is now
In the courts and nothing can be done until
a decision la reached there. All the public
service corporationsare of great moment
to the city of Omaha, and anything that
cripples the companies or Invalidates their
resource so that they cannot keep up with
the progressive procession would be of
great detriment. It la far more Important
to Omaha to have extensions of our com
pany's lines, improvements, better service,
more cars and mora men working In the
car shops than to collect a tax for the oc
cupancy of the streets."
Characterizing the action of the council
In passing the first two readings of the
ordinance affecting his company as "ut
terly foolish and nonsensical." R. S. Hall,
attorney for the Omaha Water company,
said there might have been some sense In
the proposition "before the city bought the
water works."
"The city of Omaha haa bought the hold
Inga of the Omaha Water company and
therefore this Idea of placing a tax against
the property Is child's play," said Mr. Hall.
"It would never stand In the courts, and
I believe the city's own legal department
would advise against it."
Double Taxation.
Not having seen a copy of the ordinance
or a full statement as to what It contains,
Judge W. W. Morsman, attorney for the
Omaha Electrlo Light and Power company,
said he was not in a. position to give an
opinion on the merits of the proposed ac
tion. "A similar occupation tax was attempted
In Lincoln and litigation growing out of an
ordinance passed by the city council of
thet city Is now in the supreme court,"
said Judge Morsman. "It is claimed by the
companies in Lincoln that the occupation
tax there imposed is double taxation, and
the same claim can be made on the same
grounds in Omaha. We will have to await
the action of the supreme court."
In the absence of President Yost, W. B.
T. Belt, general manager of the Nebraska
Telephone company, declined to say much
about the occupation tax ordinances, other
than that he viewed the collection of an
We are now paying a good sized tax Into
the city treasury and this proposed 6 per
cent uddltion is unquestionably too high,"
said Mr. Belt.
