LINCOLN. May 9~.-(Special )-Theses are
busy days for his excellency the Honorable
John H. Mickey the chief executive Of the
state, and since President Roosevelt gave
Nebraska a taste Of the strenuous, the gov
ernor has kept it up. The indications are
that he will continue to keep IT up for sew
eral days. Besides being a member of the
Board OF Equalization, which at this time
is OF much more than usual Importance. the
governor has been called upon to use his
good Offices in bringing about a peaceful
settlement Of the Omaha strike. Added to
these two questions. probably as serious,
as any with which a governor of Nebraska
has had TO contend. comes a vacancy in the
Omaha Board of Fire and Police Com
missioners. OF course TO the state tins is
a minor AFFAIR, but to the people of Omaha
II is Of the utmost Importance.
Thu meeting OF the Board of Equalization
is particularly interesting this year, though
of course no more important than in for
mer years. because of the general demand
throughout the entire state for a higher
valuation on railroad property and because
of the vigorous war that has been carried
on both in state and city politics between
the railroad element and the friends of
equal taxation. The board is sitting as a
jury between the small taxpayer and the
railroads and It not only has the argumen
offered before legislative committees last
winter. but the argument that has been
waged for many years. when the fight first
began, upon which to base its decision. M
board has ever yet decided a case in favor
OF the small taxpayer and in view OF that
fact the members of the present board have
the opportunity to immortalize themselves.
Different Set of Figures.
While the railroad companies offered fg'
ures that tended to prove that the we're
assessed upon a greater per cent of the
value Of their properties, the returns made
by the last Board of Equalization upon the
railroad property in the city of Omaha
and the value placed upon the property by
the city Board of Equalization are 80
widely different as to cause considerable

FROST DOES NOT HARM FRUIT
Strong and Healthy Bloom Promises
nj Least an Average Crop
in COIfax County.

LEIGH, Neb., May 9.-(special)-Much to
the surprise of the fruit growers of this
section the frost and sleet of May 1 did
not amage the fruit to any great extent
in this locality. Although all vegetation
was inclosed in a cake of ice from a quar-
ter to half an inch thick for a period Of
thirty hours, nothing was damaged ex-
cept the very early fruit. The ice and
sleet seemed to be a protection for the
buds from the extreme cold and they are
now putting out bloom that is remarkable
for its strength and healthfulness. with
no other backset the fruit in this section
will be an average crop.

LIGHT Comes TOO Late.

county that he considered more important
than the equal distribution of taxes, was

in favor of a much higher valuation of
railroad property. II have thought that
the railroads paid their share of the taxes"

have not. Under the revenue law that we
passed the farmers property will be as
sessed much higher than under the old law,
and II the board does not materially in
crease the railroad assessment there GER
tainly will be trouble when the new law
becomes operative. I am not in favor %
the board following precedent because a re-
adjustment will be necessary when the
new law takes effect. Right now is the
time for the board to do what is right.
