Work on Railroad Tarda.
Work is to begin within the next few
daya by the Burlington on its new railroad
yards. They will, when completed, run
from First and J streeta west for a trifle
over three miles, and will give the Burling
ton greatly Increased facilities for handling
cars and making quick exchanges. Work
Is expected to be completed within aix
months after starting. '
The yards are to bo finished In single
hump, double yard style, and will contain
twenty-one classification tracks. They will
have a capacity of between 6.00 and 8,000
cars.
At present the only yards of this nature
within the vicinity of Lincoln are situated
t Galcsburg. The now yards will place
Lincoln on a par with the other towna
long the Burlington rout near Chicago. .
The principal asset of the new yards will
be to greatly Increase the speed with which
train crews can make tip and dispatch
both freight and passenger trains.
Ilailroada File Iteporli,
With none of the roada showing any
great change In thelf assessments, four of

sioner James If. Sheffield. The reports
have yet to be checked over by the com
missioner; ThTfWSlf lslSmVs report, how
ever. Is still to 'te' received.
The Burlington's report shows a grand
total assessment of $1,270,263. The total re
ported by this road last year, with the
exception of the value of the real estate,
was $928,669.41. , T. -
For the Union Pacific the report shows

according to an order from Adjutant Gen
eral Hartlgan and a special election has
been called to elect a brigadier general.
Colonel fitorch, of the First regiment, la
the only candidate known at present. All
officers of the gunrd are eligible to vote.
There votes, sealed and mailed, are can
vassed by a board constating of Colonel
Hartlgan, Major Phelps and Assistant Ad

Brigadier General Barry was the last
man to hold that title. For four years the
place hat been vacant. The law was
amended by the Instance of General Cul

of brigadier general appointive. No one
waa ever appointed, however, except Cul
ver himself who was detailed for one en
campment. The lawrence bill, passed at
the last legislature, changes the law back
to what It was before Culver tinkered with

Inatrnrtloaa to Assessor,
Secretary Schavland of the State Board
of Assessment haa rent out the following
letter to county assessors
In response to numerous requests for In
formation with reference to the assessment
or grain brokers and grain elevator com
pants, ana to the end that there may be
more uniformity In such asressrnents In the
tuiure. I Deg leave to aubm t the following
In the case of Central Granaries company
Ka'ns ijinrasier county, lli n. W., Mi,
the supreme court held that:
"Average capital Is the average of the
amount or cash and all other property of
every Kino, usea in carrying on the busl
ners. and, If there Is an excess of this
average capital over the amount of real
estate and other tangible property that
can be viewed by the assessor, then such
excess Is to be added fcr assesmont."
In the same case the court held that no
fixed rule could be applied In arriving at
me amount or such average: out in sec
tion t of the revenue law It is provided
mat for the purpose of determining the
average capital of such grain broker the
county assessor or deputy assessor shall
have the right to Inspect all bo ks of ac
count and the. check books of such grain
broker and shall determine and fix the
amount of such capital by such inspection."
This is in addition to the provision con
tained In the same section requiring the
grain broker to determine under oath sucti
average capital.
It Is evident in the light of the decision
above referred to, first, that all tangible
property of a grain broker or grain com
pany that can be viewed by the assessor,
Including grain and cash on hand on the
first day of April, must be assessed; sec
ond, that in case the grain and cash on
hand together with the other visible prop
erty on the first day of April amounts
to less than the average amount of capital
invested and used in carrying on the busi
ness, then the excess of the average amount
Invested and used over the amount of
tangible property found must be added for
assessment; third, that in case the amount
of grain, tash and other tangible property
on the firBt dav of April exceeds the aver-
ago amount of capital used in carrying on
the business, then nothing Is to be added
to the assessment of such tangible prop
erty: and fourth, that Inasmuch as no
fixed rule can be prescribed or applied
In determining the average amount of capi
tal, the same must be determined according
to the facts and circumstances in each
particular case.
Assessors' Kvporia nice.
Within less than a month the State Board
of Assessment will begin to grind and al
ready a few of the smaller railroads have
made their reports to the board. All the
reports under the law must be filed with
the board by April 15.
Many of the assessors have returned the
valuation of railroad property In the cities
and towna under the provlalona of the ter
minal tax law, and these reports In some
Instances show a marked decrease in the
valuation of the same property as fixed by
the state board last year In equalizing the
returns of the assessors.
Following la a comparison of the assessed
valuation of the Burlington property in a
number of towna for the yeara 1908 and 19(9:

Governor Vetoes
Two Measures and
Signs Three More
Intermediate Sentence Law Fails Be
cause of Salary Defects Irriga
tion Bill Killed.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN", April 7. (Special Telegram.)
Governor Shallenberger has vetoed S. F,
1'4. by Raymond of Scott's Bluff county,
at the request of the senator and those
who stood sponsor for him. The bill pro
vides for the condemnation of excess water
In reservoirs. This would pemilt the use
of water held In these reservoirs over a
certain amount. It has been figured, how
ever that In aome Instances fully 80 per
cent of the water Is lost through evapora
tion and seepage and for this reason those
who originally framed the bill concluded It
would be a bad measure and so informed
the governor.
Governor Shallenberger will veto the bill
providing for the Indeterminate sentence.
The bill creates a board for the purpose of
hearing applications for paroles and fixea
the salary at $10 a day for the lawyer and
physician members for the daya actually
employed, but provides no maximum for
the amount they may receive in one year.
There la no appropriation for caryrlng the
bill Into effect. It does not provide a
board for hearing applications for com
mutations or pardons.
Senate files 221, 122 and 117 were signed.
The first provides that corporations shall
do business through a local agent upon
whom service may be secured. The other
two provide that county depositories and
atate depositories may deposit securities
Instead of giving a security bond for the
guaranty of county and state money.
Governor Bhallenberger Issued a atate
nient regarding his veto of Senate File No.
335. tho Indeterminate sentence bill in
wnich he said:
Beforo vetoing this act, I have lnvestlga
tea its provisions very carefully. Among
r, r ,,,r rean for my action are
the following:
First. One of the provisions of this act
s to create a prison board. Tliia board
is to have Jurisdiction of hearings on all
appllcationa for paiolca of persons im
prisoned In the penitentiary. No provision
is made for the board to conduct the hear
ings on applications for pardons reprieves
or communications. If the legislature can
lawfully create a prison board to conduct
Hearings on applications for paroles. 1 can
see no reason why tho same board could
not be empowered to conduct hearings on
applications for pardons, reprieves and
commulatlone. The hearlnga on appllca
t ons for pardons, reprieves and commuta
tions are so intimately connected with the
matter of Issuing paroles, that It would
be Impossible to separate them and have
one class of cases heard by the board and
ine oiner neard by the governor.
The principal reason urged for the crea
tion of this board la that It will relieve the
governor of the necessity of conducting
Hearings on applications Tor parole.
i lie matter of hearing applications for
paroles takes less time than the applica
tions for pardons, reprieves and commuta
tions, so the governor would not be re
lieved of the important part of this w o rk.
Second. On April 5. liH. I approved the
Snyder law. Houxe Roll No. 514. That law.
yhlch passed with an emergency clause.
repealed and amended Sections M6 and B70
of the criminal code. 1'nder the provis
ions of that law. the Governor will not
be required to s pend so much time In con
ducting hearings as he has heretofore. The
Snyder law is now In effect. Tbe present
act attempt to repeal Section 670 of the
criminal code. This section as It now
exists Is different than It was when the
present Act was Introduced and passed by
the legislature. I hardly think that the
approval of Senate File No. 333 would re
peal Section fT0 of the criminal code, as
amended by tire Snyder law. The approval
of the present Act would create confusion
and doubt aa to the manner of securing
paroles.
Third. This Act createa two new officials
with a salary of ten dollars ($10.00) per
day. It does not fix the maximum salary
that can be drawn by these officials. Bus
iness experience has demonstrated the ne
cessity of fixing a maximum salary of all
public officials. In my messHge to the
legislature, I strongly urged that all offi
cials be placed upon a sslnry basis. While
this Act provides for payment of salaries,
no appropriation has been made to defray
the expense arising under its provisions.
