REED HAS YMMION PLAN
Tax Expert Suggests Way to Stcure
Equitable Assessments.
AVOIDS THE PERSONAL FACTOR
tlelleves Dlfflcnltr thnt Una Long
CxUted In the State Will De
OliTlatnl Should the Sys
tem De Adopted.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
t.tMnni.M njoh n,t t Vaw mftOiodji i
Xor valuation of rural lands In this state Preferred to remain on the flat rate,
were proposed to the State Tax commls- W PPared an ordinance and a peti
tion today by IUeht-of-Way Expert Reed ndr the nltlatlve and referendum
ot the physical valuation department of aw asking that the same be submitted
mv, to the vote of the people. This proposed
. , ... ' . . . .,-,, .,
which Mr Reed says he has worked out
since coming n contact with various
problems over the state, doe. av.ay with
the personoJ opinion of taxing -officials
and substitutes, a method whereby known ,
values aro attached to the acreages. , ,
a difficulty that has long existed In the
actlvlUos of the State Board of Equatlia- I
tlon Is remedied and a scheme evolved
I.
which makes system whore chaos has
always prevailed.
Lands at present. In tho opinion of Mr.
Reed, are assessed at from 30 per cent t6
80 per cent of their actual valuation, a
proceeding which ho believes shows woe
ful derect In the existing laws as pay
ment of taxes Is then made on one-fifth
of the recorded actual valuation. The
State Board ot Equalization being utterly
helpless as far as knowledge of the vari
ous classes of land In each county Is con
cerned has no means available for rem
edying the difficulty.
Under Mr. Reed's plan, land would be
divided as follows: First class tillable
or farm lands, rolling or uneven land,
pasture land, swamp and waste lands.
The acreage of each class of land In a
quarter section would be determined un
der a topographical survey and tho sales
method would then be applied as a means
toward fixing the valuation., Recourse
to an expert board of land men would
have to be had, In the opinion of Mr.
Reed in order definitely to tlx tho base
unit of acre valuation.
Utilization of this method, according
to the physical valuation plan, would
equalize rural land assessments over the
state, "would eliminate .the personal opin
ion from determination of valuations and
would provide the state with a method
whereby land assessments would entail
less difficulty between counties than un
der other methods suggested or employed
In the state under statutes past or
present.
Deputy Attorney General Ayres, who
conducted the state's sldo of the real
estate mortgage taxation case In the su
preme court recently, gave a talk on the
bench's ruling, which allows banks ot
the state a deduction ot tho amount ot
their real estate mortgages from the
value of their capital stock. He asserts
that this allowed practical exemption In
many cases. Ho doubted the Intention
ot 'the legislature to make tho Smith
mortgage tax law apply to mortgages
heid by banks and said that remedy
through simple amendment would cor

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-(Spevlal Tele
gram.) E. I Holbrook, a railroad en
gineer ot Omaha, and his assistant. II.
Ilortln, was one of scores ot railway en
gineers who met at the Interstate Com
merce commission today to discuss pr
llmlnary details ot the physical valua
tion of railroads. The conference was ;
attended also by a number ot state rail
way commissioners, among them Clif
ford Thorns ot Iowa and commissioners
from Ohio, Oklahoma, Minnesota and
Michigan.
The day waa given up largely to the
discussion ot objections mado by tho
railroad attorneys to requirements otj
the engineering board of the commission
In their tentative order as to plans and
specifications to be furnished by th
railroads as to their lines.
Among older things tho order required
the railroad to furnish original tracings
and maps of their lines, giving names
of owners pf adjacent property to 250,000
miles of road.
Would Save Expense.
Tho railroad representatives claimed
that this requirement would cost' them
17,000,000 or JS, 000,000, an expense they
claimed they could avoid without Inter
fering with the work of valuation, by
furnishing blue prints already In their
possession. Tho objections were taken
under advisement by the commission.
Clifford Thorno of the Iowa commis
sion, who Is chairman ot the valuation
committee of state commissions, said to
day that the. preliminary conferences
had barely scratched the surface of the
task before the commission.
These sessions are being held to lay
the foundations for proper valuation ot
tho roads throughout the country," said
Mr. Thome.
Great stress Is being laid by the state
commissioners on securing at the outset
proper methods ot valuation. Ultimately
the commission is to provide In detail
the methods under which the work will
be performed. Later the commission will
determine tho .significance and relative
Importance of the various tacts gathered
and tlx values. State railway commis
sioners are trying to make sure that In
the plan for tho federal and state co
operation "on railroad valuation' a method
Ss secured that will be fair to all parties
concerned."

THE
Insurance Company
Avoids Obligation
With a Clever Ruse
That the state lnsuranco board per
mitted the Royal Indemnity company,
an accident Insurance firm which fallod
recently, to withdraw several thousand
dollars worth of securities front Its cus
tody because the Royal company secured
a contract of reinsurance from a bonding
company, which, whon It came under
close scrutiny was found to give no pro
tection to policyholders. Is a circum
stance, which, attorneys assert, Is re
vealed In a suit pending In county court.
John 13. Qarman, a policyholder In the
defunct company, Is suing tho Lyon
Bonding company from which the con
tract of reinsurance was secured for $100
negti due ns the result of an accident
sustained by him. When the cortrncl
of reinsurance, which, It Is asserted, was
approved by the Insurance board prior
to Its allowing the Royal company to
withdraw Its securities deposited In ac
cordance "with Nebraska's new Insurance
law, was brought Into court It wa
found to contain a clause which In effect
said this: '
"The Lyon Bonding company shall b
liable for any claims which the Royal
Indemnity company may become liable
for and pay,"
It was contended by attorneys for th
bonding company that tho Lyon company
was not liable for any claim of a policy
holder which tho Royal company had not
paid and though Judge Crawford has
taken the caso under advisement at
torneys say there Is no doubt but this
Interpretation of the contract will be up
held by the courts.
September a Bad
Month, According
to Brother Hicks
With the government's sky-pilots
vainly sweeping the heavens for a fleck
on their cloudless canopy to Indicate
rain and cooler, Brother Irl Itlcks, or
his almanao, sees all kinds of things be
side the ceaseless torment ot torrid
weather.
For Instance, according to Hicks, the
weather not only Is to bo much cooler,
but earthquakes, tornadoes, frosts and
seismic disturbance are' on the way, In
fact, Bhould havo been hero before this
to mako good on the prognostication.
This state of affairs was to burst in upon
us with the first .day of September and,
so. far as reported, Is a long way off.
Sometimes the lunar prophets seem to
"put one over on" the government's air
current boys, who never .deal' in long dis
tance shots. But thjs time, up to dato,
the official tubo testers have all the bet
ter of It. They have played the game
safe, staid close to shore and for' the
most part simply passed put tho dally
tip or "fair and warmer," (A weather
man never heard of the word "hot" or
"hotter.") And the country continues to
sizzle, hoping that one of" two things may
soon happen, either ' tho weather man
will miss his guess or get " a line on a
new combination.
Missouri Man Mixed

After Creel left Milan his wife Inno

Including the mortgaged goods. Creel
later gave a note for the value of the
goods.
After coming to Omaha Creel was ar
