DR. E ARTHUR CARR MADE
HEAD OF BOARD SECRETARIES
(From' a Start Correspondent) '
LINCOLN, Neb., July 3. (Special.)
Under the new law passed by the last
legislature under the head pf Senate File
ro. 3Z3, prepared by the revenue com
mute and. .Introduced by Senator Sprk,
the board of assessment will take a new
method to arrive at the assessment.
TKe new method of assessing taxes
against private car companies , provides
that the state board ot assessment shall
assess such companies tipon, the basis
of the average rate pf general taxes,
Including state, county, municipal, school
district and local levies In all the counr
ties of the state for the preceding year
and that, the tax. so' levied shall be paid
tp the state treasurer for the state
geenral, fund. It 1 repeals the old law
which prorated the assessment of- these
companies among the counties traversed
by railroad lines " over- which the cars
.traveled. , , , , . .
According to the assessment of 1912
thb value of all state property was
.60,190,151. The , total- taxes charged
against. this levy was 17,ffa,i57.6S. This
would make the rate 36.05 per cent
The assessed' valuation of private cat-
companies n vs was ana ipe
revenue-derived would be S9.312.3S.
There are abput J w different private
car lines Tunning' In and' through the
state, which come 1 under' the . provisions
ot the law. ' .

(From a StaYf CorrtspdndenU '
LINCOLN',: . Neti., July J.-t8Hc.cAah)-Lltuterisht
Governor McKelYle Is of the
opinion that the . constitution of. the stale
ot Nebraska does not include Mm when
It says thaton. executive officer of, the
slate' may be a candidate for governor
dmlng.the term tor which he was
elected.
When asked ,by a Bee representative
wfiat authority' he had for basing 'his
statement that, the clause did not refer
to the" lieutenant gdvernor. he replied:
."PrrJcederit, my dear " sir, precedent.
Did not T6th Majors run for gbvernor
when- he wa-lleutnant governor," he
said.
Lieutenant -.Qo-ernor MbKelvle served
as governor a-few-days last wlhttr when
a6vjerntr Morth,ad was at Washington
inaugurating President ' Wilson and liked
It so well he has ery frequently been;
accused of having designs on In the
office In 1&14. This morning when tho
question waa.pul to Mm point blank by
the Bee representative he said he was
not saying anything at present
The provision of the constitution which;
seems to stand In the way of the aspira
tions, of several .other fellows besides
the lieutenant governor reads:
;No person shall.be eligible to the of
fice ,of governor or lieutenant gov-
ernorwho shall not have attained the
age of thirty' years and been for two
years" next preceding his election a cltt
zeh df the United States and ot this
state. None of the officers of the cxecu
tlVe department shall tie eligible to any
other stat office during the period for
which they shall have ben elected."
This would seem, to stand In the way
of any state officer now holding .from
becoming a' candidate' for thb office ot
governor. It Is 'true that Governor .More
ha'd was lieutenant gpvernor at the tlnle
he was elected governor, bUt'the constl.
tutlOn says that no stato onicer snail
be a candidate for governor during the
terms for which he was "elected." Gov
ernor Morehcad was not elected lieuten
ant governor, but succeeded -to that of
fice by virtue ot the. fact that, he wa
president of the senate and the death of
Lieutenant Governor '.Hopewell ga,ve him
the office without election.
Wait Barn lie" Oat.
Secretary of State Walt, who has been
mentioned frequently In connection with
the republican nomination for governor.
says that he considers that the constltu-
tldn, or that part'of It referred to above,
settles the matter and puts him out ot
the game. Attorny General Martin, who
might stretch the constitution a little ,nnd
say that ho belongs to -tho Judicial branch
by virtue of being attorney; general, but
refuses to -do .'so,- says that he considers
he Is. under the- ban and cannot run
State .Suberthtendent DalielU wh6e ham
was being warted about tne corridors ot
the state- hbuie this' morning in connec
tion, with- the nomination, said that ho
had not had-occasion to think about th
matter In connection with his candidacy
tot the nomination,' ,
"I am not thinking about being a can
didate," said the superintendent,, "and It
wft..I do not think from what I havd
heard, .'that the provision Would rofer to
this office as under the t executive head.
However, I shall have to look It up."
