. Lincoln, Oct. 21. (Social.) Not-
niiiiaiaiiuu u imiil i iir- i rn in run irr
claiming that taxation in Nebraska
is higher than in former years and
1 that the railroads ate getting the
best of it, the facts in the case as
shown by the records disaprove their
claims. .
.According to a statement issued bv
Secretary Osborn? of the state board
of equalization and assessment, the
assessed valuation of the railroads in
Nebraska' in 1916, when the demo
crats were in full power, was $56,
8J3.234, while the assessed valua
tion in 1920 was $61,368,245. an in
crease this year f $4.36S,lll. Not
vciy tuiisiuciauic uitrease, .per
haps, but enough to ?now vthat the
democrats, if they choke, can handle
figures very carelessly. The . state
ment of ' Secretary Osborne is as
follows: ' .
Correct Figures.
Our democratic friends are having
considerable to say relative to the
' subject to taxation and liave circu
lated the report that the railroads
are paying less taxes this year than
. in fnrnnr vHr, anH it i intrtincr
to note the valuations that have been
placed upon the railroads for the past
eigm years,. . ' - ,
Commencing with , the year 1916
and coming .down to the year 1920,
the valuation for taxation purposes
of the several railroads as fixed by
me state ooara 01 equalization is
as follows: V

Other , miscellaneous roads have
been increased in the same propor
tion, and the total assessed value of
the railroads in this sta.te for the
year 1920. is $61,368,345, as against
(tSfi Rtl 1U. in mrmc. ti
111. ' '
The facts are that the only mate
rial increase in the valuation of the
railroads that has beetr, made by
the state bqard of equalization in
the past-15 years, is that which was
made this year by the republican
administration, , i
Taxes. Paid State. '.
Let us consider for a moment the
aMount of taxes that, the railroads
have paid for the past few years in
this state. ( " ' .';
The total'amount of taxes paid by
the Union Pacific railroad in 1913
was $834,475.52; 1914, $842,916.33;
1913, $843,017.00; 1916 $879,093.50;
1917, $953,121.37; 1918, $979,482.99;
1919. $1,193,190.74; 1920, $1,312,000,00,
Let us see how this has effected
the C. B. & Q. system and we find
that in 1914 they paid $1,094,459.83;
. 1915. $1,073,568.00; 1916, $1,121,693.78;
1927,' $1,264,039.86; 1918, $1,312,925.47;
1919. $1,549,654.98. ?
The 1920 tax is not available for
this road, but it is conservative to,
estimate their total taxes in the state
at $1,800,000. . i " :
Receipts of Counties..
There is not a single county in
this 'state where the railroad taxes
will not be far in excess of that
paid by them in any prior year in
the historv of the state ."' Fnr in
stance,' the total amount of property
43v naM Kv the railrnnrle in WnS.
ster county for 1916 was $20,193.33,
and in 1919 it was $27,200.36, and in
1920 it is $31,404.67. ,
i In Sherman county tor. mo they
paid $25,367.22, in 1919 they paid
$30,370.84, and in 1920 it is $35,046.09.
In Hooker county for 1916 they
paid $16,485.35, in 1919 they paid
$20,823.00, and in 1920 it is $24,904.53.
-t In Adams ' county for 1916 they

paid $40,282.36, in 1919 they paid
$55,341.06, and in 192Q it is $56,041.81.
. In Pawnee county for 1916 they
paid $26,383.21, in 1919 they paid
$37,181.27, and in 1920 it is $42,955.25.
In Perkins county for 1916 they
aid $11,559.52, in 1919 they paid
17.765.98. and in 1920 it is $20,795.35.
In Scotts Bluff county for 1916
they paid $17,641.40, in 1919. they
paid $30,800.83, an in 1920 it is $35,
986.35. ,
The above figures are from the
county records, and can beTverificd.
It .would not seem that very much
favoritism has been shown by Gov
ernor McKelvie's administration,
notwithstanding democratic litera
ture to that, effect.

Worn Out In Mind and Body
Your child is quick to observe disturbances in your mental attitude or
physical condition. And when he asks: "What's the matter, DaddyT't
there's a tone of solemn anxiety in his little voice. The .depression
stamped upon you reflects intensely upon him because of his profound solic- -itude.
He at once drops his playthings and rushes to your side, but his
happv femile has disappeared and his buoyant spirits are gone replaced
by a countenance of worry and a bearing of hopelessness. '
You owe it to the happiness and welfare of your family to keep trim in body and keen la
intellect. You an the sun and the inspiration of their lives. Dark, threatening clouds hover
orer their heads-the instant you show signs of twins "out of sorts" or "under the was that."
Don't imperil their future by neglecting your health.
