Do HONOR To FATHER BEX
Business Men and ParishiOncrs at
Fats City Celebrate Divtne's
silver Jubilee.

FALLS CITY. Neb.. July 24-(special.)-
Rev. II. Bex OF the Catholic church at this
place was surprised by his Pensioners to-
day.
Twenty-Five years ago Father Bex was or
dained n priest Of the Catholic church in
Holland. without his knowledge the women
Of the church arranged to celebrate his sill
yer jubilee.
With the assistance OF a number OF the
neighboring priests a Jubilee mass was said
at . O'Clock. and at 1880 in the evening the
church members, together with most Of the
business men Of the town, were received at
Father Bix's house. Refreshments were
served and during the evening Father Blk
was presented with a silver tesset by his
parishioners.
The following visiting priests were in at
tendance: Rev. Fathers sproll Of Rulo,
Feeney OF Auburn, Canovian of Dawson,
Bradley OF Tecumseh, Roasch Of Fairbury,
Hoffman OF Bellwood, Canaraher OF David
City.
Father Bex has been a resident Of this
city and in charge OF the Catholic church
for about six years. He is a highly re-
spected citizen and admired for HIS many
goood qualities, not only by his church peo-
pie, but by the general public.
The business men. at this anniversary,
presented him with a handsome gift as a
token Of their esteem for him.

In the advertisements which have imme-
diately preceded this. We have given the
details Of taxes paid by the railroads of
Nebraska, and the amounts they have paid
in the several counties Of the State, and
II will be noticed that in the footnotes
which accompany the figures given, there
is a line of comparisons, showing what
other states nave done in regard to the
taxation of railroads which run through
their commemorative. In the matter OF
taxation, as in any other business matter,
the people of Nebraska desire to, and nat
urally should keep in line with what is
done in other states. No greater disaster
could occur to the State Of Nebraska, than
IL, by ill-advised action. 1t should throw
itself out Of line regarding matters of tax
alton of corporate property or Of any
property.
1t may be a taking proposition for a
demagogue to advocate the over taxing Of
railroad companies and thereby work a
hardship against them that would not ac-
crue to other lines OF property within the
State, but It would be an advertisement
that would pass through the whole United
States. pr%oclaiming that the people of Ne
braska did not intend to be as fair with
capital as other states Of the Union. 1t
would reproduce here in Nebraska that
prejudice which took Kansas a term of at
least ten years to dispel.
The comparisons which we have made in
these foregoing statements include every
state in the Union, with the exception Of
Massachusetts,. In Massachusetts,, New
York and several other states laws have
been passed which work a hardship against
railroad corporations. In New York
the onerous tax paid by the New
York Central railroad is being tested in
the courts; It's ill-advised law is working
a hardship agaist that road, while not in
Turing the others in the State to any ex-
tent. In Massachusetts,, through a con-
tract made in the early days between the
corporations and the State, and their ex-
else laws, the taxes are out Of line with
what is done in other states, and there Is
q general movement among the business
people of that State looking to the correc-
ton Of this abuse.
In Harper's Weekly Of February it, 1902,
the following is an extract from an 'edi-
torial in regard to this matter:
There is a very strong movement in the
State of Massachusetts, for rational corpo-
ration laws. The commonwealth is wax
ing up to the fact that. under it's present
laws, large modern corporations cannot be
organized in the State, and Massachusetts
capital is seeking investment elsewhere.
Not only the corporation law is restrictive
and narrow, but the tax avs
are as unreasonable as those of
New York. Both States taxes all
the property Of q corporation wherever It
Is situated. and this is double taxation.
An effort is being made In New
York and will be made up In Massachusetts
to put an end to this system OF double taxa
tion. There is a feeling abroad that New
Jersey should not remain the refuge OF ali

Will it Pay to Attempt "Freak
Taxation?" Reason for Com

combinations which want liberal treat
ment."
In Wisconsin It appears that they have
an entirely different form Of taxation for
railroad corporations from other states.
as the taxes are collected in the form OF
an excise tax, being collected on the gross
earnings of the companies in such a way
that while the tax is heavy on those roads
which have a large earning capacity, 1t is
very light on those which are operating at
a loss. This form Of taxation looks fair.
but 1t would not be popular in Nebraska,
because all Of the taxes charged against
railroad corporations in Wisconsin are
turned into the State Treasury and they
are relieved from paying taxes locally
along their lines. In the poorer counties
of Nebraska. this would mean practically
bankruptcy. In Wisconsin there is a gen.
eral movement looking towards a change
in the form of taxation. After having tried
a law something Of the same character as
that OF Wisconsin, Michigan has returned
to the direct form Of taxation.
This whole subject of the payment CT
taxes on the part of the railroad corpora
tions resolves itself into a question as to
how much of their revenue should be d.
verified to this purpose.
II the taxes we're out OF reason, It would
place Nebraska in an inevitable light be-
fore all investors.
For political reasons. a few men have
made themselves prominent by advocating
a system of double taxation Of railroad
property in the State, but when the people
once understand what lie done, and how
it is done. we do not believe their efforts
will avail.
The railroads OF Nebraska. up to the
present time, have not earned an undue
amount on the investment made; for a
series OF years there was no profit derived
from the investment as a whole on Ne
braska railroads. and while during 1900
two of the railroads paid a fair dividend
on the capital invested, very many of the
railroads in the State failed to render any
returns whatever to their owners.
Nebraska has not as yet got the popula-
tion. nor the completed system of rail-
roads which would warrant this State in
imposing such obligations on the corpo-
rations which now exist. that would drive
all future investors In such property from
the State.
The figures which have been given are
all from reliable data which can be inves-
tigated by any one so disposed; the aver
ages per mile being from the report of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, and
the details OF the business of the different
roads are taken from their Official reports,
while the figures here In Nebraska are
taken from the Auditors ofices of the Diff
ferent railroads.
We will now continue our comparisons
with other property in the State, show
ing some remarkable facts concerning the
changes in values In various counties, and
how by these changes, the railroads have
been obliged to carry more than their pro-
portionate share OF taxation.

however, has another matter requiring his
attention and may not be able to sit with
