Power Granted
Tax Official in
Bill Assailed
Hoagland Says Reassessment
Measure Places Property
"Twice in Jeopardy;"
Offers Amendment.
Lincoln, March 28. (Special Tele
Cram. S Authority of the state t
commissioner, granted in S. F. No.
65, to order the reassessment ot
property already taxed in a county
wa assailed in the senate this after
noon hy Senator Walter V. Hoag
land of Lincoln county, when that
t : 1 1 I. ' 1 - . . 1. - .. I
mil, wintn revise? uic icwuuc dau
taxation laws of the state, came up ,
tor discussion for the first time in '
the committee of the whole.
"The equalisation of taxes within
a county shquld be a nutter of
local seif-trovernment," he argued.
"This authority is only another man
ifestation of the tendency to fro-wild
over centralization of power."
Senator Hoagland proposed an
amendment to strike out the three
offending sections of the proposed
law and substitute one section of his
own drafting, which would give the
tax commissiowtr unlimited power to
go after any property which was not
on the tssessrnent roll. He would
have the authority stop at property
already assessed
Amendment Postponed.
The senator's amendment went
over until Tuesday morning for de
bate and final action. Minor amend-'
ments understood to be "feelers."
h test the sentiment of the senate
on changes in the revenue and taxa
tion commitee draft of the bill, had
been offered earlier in the afternoon
session by Senators Hoagland and
John V. Coopers of Douglas, and
those had been voted down almost
unanimously.
Senator Hoagland argued that the
granting of this power to the tax
commissioner was equivalent to
placing property twice in jeopardy,
analagous, he said, to the attitude of
of "the crown" in the prerevolution
ary days in haling a person before
another court if one court did not
convict him.
In this case, he said, that the coun
ty board of-equalization had the ef
fect of a court, but while the in
dividual had no relief after the time
of his appeal expired, the tax com
missioner could come in and make
him appear in Lincoln. If the equal
ization board was final as to the in
dividual, it should be final to "the
crown," the senator argued.
Changes Voted Down.
' Questioning legal definitions, in
the introduction of the bill. Senator
('Cooper sought to have the word
"minerals" striken from inclusion in
"real property," and Senator Hoag
land said "franchises" should not be
separate from "personal property."
hut their motions were voted down.
Senator Cooper also failed to get
"judgments" striken from the defini
tion of "credits' 'on the ground that
they had no value until they were
reduced to possession. Senator
Wiltse of Richardson county didn't
see why "money" was classed with
"intangible property," to be taxed
,t $ mills insteads of as "tangible
property with full taxation. He res
erved the right to introduce an
amendment, later.
'Tn Amendments Offered.
Senator Sturm of Cass did see
whilt real estate mortgages were ex
empted as "credits." The 70-page
bill, which is the second substitute
for the original Anderson bill as
amended by the revenue committee,
was subjected to 10 llth-hour
amendments offered by the commit
tee" on the floor Monday afternoon,
most of them corrective.
Two of them provided for the in
tangible tax on milk and cream sta
tions and produce and on moving
picture exchanges, at the same rate
as tangible tax on "average capi
tal," in addition to the regular tangi
ble tax on their real and personal
property.
When the senate adjourned at 4
to eonvene at 9:30 Tuesday, it had
reached page 7 in the reading of
the 70-page bill. The bill was a
special order for the afternoon.

Lincoln, March 28. (Special.)

"That makes no difference," said

"I'll take him home right away."
