MOMBN4OUS DECISION
By NBBRASKA'S COURT
Concerns the Taxation Of
Corporation Properties.
Supreme Tribunal Declares They Shall
Be Assessed Upon the Same Basis
as Private Property.

LINCOLN. Neb.. April GA decision
on the taxation of corporations which is
likely to be as far-reaching as that in the
famous school teachers case in Chicago,
was handed down yesterday by the su-
preme court of Nebraska
It grants the application Of the Real
Estate Exchange of Omaha for writ Of
mandemus TO compel the city council TO
reconyene as board of equalization, and
hear complaints against the alleged Iow
assessment Of the proper ~ of public ser
vice corporations of taat city, and de-
clares that these corporations shall be
assessed on the same basis as private
property
That section OF the general revenue law
under which corporations have hitherto
deducted the amount of their bonded in
debtedness from the value of their prop
erty for taxation purposes is declared IN
constitutional.
On the manner of assessing franchises
and corporation property, the decision is
distinct, and to The effect that corpora
tons must pay taxes in proportion to the
value of the entire property, the same as
other property
The opinion affects the entire State, and
IS not apPeaIable.

HARD At WORK ON
WHITE HOUSE PLANS
Mr.. c. F. McKim Visits the
Mansion Every Day.
Proposed to Remodel Entire Inside and
Construct Office Building On
Grounds.

Mr.. Charles 2. McKim. of the Park Com
mission. whom the President has instruct
cd to make plans for TemodeIfng the White
House. visits the building daily and is
rapidly shaping his ideas on the subject
One objection TO the plans he has undes
Contcu- 1iatton is that the alterations TO be
effected this summer will provide no more
room for the formal social functions Of
the season.
One thing more than any other that
impressed the members OF Congress with
the need for a larger Executive Mansion
was the woefuI inadequacy of the East
Room and three parIors for social func-
tons last season.
Mr.. McKim's plans provide for the cree
ton Of a temporary structure of brick.
painted white, to cost about S20, 900 and to
be locs ed within the grounds. The pres
ent executive Offices viii be turned into
living roOms. but the psTfors viii be no
larger and Just as uncomfortable when
the hundreds throns them at formal re-
ceptions as was recently the case.
Mr.. McKin's ideas. however. Include
the erection at some future date. when
the present elaborate specification Of the
Parking Commission bear fruit. of a mag
nihcent official dwelling some place in
Washington, not necessarily within the
White House grounds. In this building

In the meantime the influx Of young
life at the White House renders dancing
almost necessity in the round of Off
elal gsyeties, and the carpet on the floor
OF the East Room will give way to a rug
covering paTquet flooring.
Upon the part OF President Roosevelt
there is disinClinatfon TO violate tradition
by altering the appearance CT the White
House This Indebtedness apparently ap-
plies only TO the exterior Of the building.

GATES MAY HAVE SWITCHED.
Said to Be BulIing Wheat to Cover Poor
Western Crop Outlook.

NEW YORK, April 24.-It is the belief
OF Wall Street that John ". Gates and
his friends have partly switched over
from the Stock Market into the Grain
Market, and that they have started in to
repeat their success in bulling stocks by
buIling wheat and cover on the apparently
poor crop outlook in the West.
At any rate, Harris, Gates & Co, TIE
firm of which Mr. Gates is speeia,
partner, was very active in the Grain
Market today. and was credited with be-
ing responsible for a squeeze in the first
ten minutes of trading on the Chicago
board for July corn, which advanced more
than 1 cent busheI in tRat space OF time
Both on the Proes:ce Exchange here and
in the Chicago Board 1t was bull day in
wheat and corr.
Among the rumors on the floor was one
to the effect that Mr.. Gates had had a
quarrel with James r. Keene: that Mr..
Keene would attack those stocks in which
Gates and his friends were Interested, and
that Mr. Gates would recIprocate- The
Tumsrs went to the extent OF intimating
that the big operators had Joined in put
ting up Union Pacific shares lately. but
that Mr. Keene thought that Gates. WIG
sold out first, should have let Mr.. Keene
know he was going to sell.
