The changes made in the valuation placed on differ
ent kinds of property through the state of Nebraska have
been erratic and hardly explainable. From the appear
ance of the reports made, it is evident that the cou"ty
assessors have valued the property within their respective
counties more with a view of adopting a valuation that
would raise sufficient money for the county purposes,
irrespective of any determined value. The result is that
the various counties do not coincide at all in regard to
price of any article which should have a general relative
value.
We give below a statement of changes in values re-
ported on those items which are generally recognized as
having a relative value throughout the state:

This increase in buildings in the cities, and the vast
increase in taxable improved lands, which should have
added a hundred millions of dollars to the grand assess
mcut roll of the state, would much more than make up
for any amount of improvement on railroad property in
the same time. In other words, improvement in the
state has more than kept pace with Improvement in the
railroads.
These decreases of valuation in Douglas and Lam
caster counties were to such an extent that there was not
sufficient taxable property returned in the cities of Lin
coin and Omaha to raise sufficient revenue on which to
successfully carry on the city administration without a
tax levy that would be almost prohibitory, and to day the
rate of valuation is placed so low that the rate of taxa
ton is entirely out of line with any other city in this
section of the country. These cities succeeded in having
a special law passed for the purpose of raising revenues
in these two places, and to-day they report one set of
valuations for city taxation and another for that of the
state and county, and the result is that in their reports
practically run riot.

1t will be noticed that while the tendency has been
to report lower values on all these items, they have not
been reported on a gradual decline in all cases. The
hig hest assessment made in the state on most classes of
property was in 1898. In that year improved lands in
Douglas county were assessed at SiS.45, while in 1900
they were assessed at but $ll.S2. In Clay county inn
proved lands in 1893 were assessed at $3.50, while in 1900
they were assessed at but S5.l3. In Lancaster county ia
1893 lands were assessed at sS.95 and in 1900 at but 500,
while in Saline county they reported improved lands in
1898 at a valuation of Sl0.S SIS per acre, which were reported
in 1900 at but $3.43. So it would appear to an investiga-
tor that Saline county needed money in 1898, aud that
their immediate wants were not so pressing in 1900, but
this change in valuation of their property obliged the
railroads in that county to ray onetf1h Of tie taxes rad
ia the county for the year 1900, while in 1898 they only
were obliged to pay one-tenth of the amount collected.
Some newspaper critics who advocate a material
advance in the assessment of railroad property on
account of their betternent and conditions, and the i'm.
provements that have been made in the past ten years,
should carefully consider the figures given in Bulletin
No. S. 1t will be noticed that there has been an increase
