Water Works Mass Meeting.

At the request of number of
citizens l have called a meeting
to be held at the court house on
Thursday night February y at
8 o'clock to discuss the question
"Is it to the best interest of the
city of Broken Bow to vote bonds
for the purchase of the water
works plant?" This meeting is
called for fair discussion of the
proposition by the voters that all
phases of it may be presented,
and that the tax payers and voters
may have an opportunity to be
posted on it before the election
is held. E. X. PURCELL,

S. II. Burnham, president of
the First National bank, who has
just returned from a business trip
to the east, spent considerable
time among the bankers of New
York. He found bouyant feel
ing there concerning the future
of business during the coming
year. The east is depending
largely upon the west for good
times now, and the knowledge
that only part of the immense
crop out here has been harvested
makes the fnancier feel that
that there will not be much
check in business for another
season at least. So far as the
stock market is concerned no
alarm is felt over a slump among
the New York bankers. They
say that railroad earnings con-
tinue to be phenomenal, making
the payment of regular dividends
assured for some time to come.
TIE general stock list IS held up
by rich men or groups of rich
men, who themselves own large
enough blocks to make it an easy
matter to support the market.
Mr.. Burnham's information de-
rived from railroad men as well
as fnanciers, is that the coal
shortage is due to the immense
extra business done by the rail
roads as we'll as the scant supply
due to the strike. The roads
everywhere are loaded down with
business, and the extra coal con-
sumption for that alone is enough
to tax the production of the
mines. State Journal.

367.66 per mile. There is no
question but the roads are better
equipped, have better depots,
better road beds, and that they
are making more money on the
capital invested by half than
they were ten years ago. This
being the case we cannot under
stand why the assessed valuation
should not be increased instead
of deceased as well as all other
property of the state, The RE'
PUBLICAN never hesitates 10 eX-
press an opinion on all public
questions that effect the town,
county or state, and we usually
try to give a reason for our opln-
ion. If those reasons are iavor-
able to corporations we have no
APOLOGY to offer, and especially
as in this instance as our cOnten-
tion is for the increased railroad
assessment and the lessenlng OF
the burden of taxation to the
people of Custer county. For
years the REPUBLICAN has MAIN
tanned that all property should
be assessed at its cash value and
the rich as we'll as the poor be
required to pay taxes in proper
tion to their actual wealth and
thus Tighten the burden of taxa
tion by decreasing the levy. In
doing this we are not in favor Of
giving Omaha the tax on the
railroad property on the right of
way that chances to be located
in that city and deprive Custer
county of its just share in the
property. The city that gets
the terminals have big advan-
tage anyway from the increased
business, property and population
that these terminals naturally
attract. There is not a town in
the state but would be willing to
enter into a bond with the rail-
road company that in case they
would move their shops, depots,
offices etc from Omaha to it to
forever allow the state board tC
tax the whole of the property as
it has been doing in the past
and distribute 1t along the line
of road of the state without q
protest.

The state central committee of

The state central committee of
the Populist party has decided "a
gainst fusion with the Demo-
crates. This is just what the
rank and file of Populist have vot-
ed for all the time, but the lead
ers who saw Office ahead, and the
newspapers, which saw county
patronage in it have oveIriden
the will of the voters, and by
packing the conventions, and by
abuse and Misrepresentation have
50 lar succeeded. 1t is a sorry
way to be forced to recognize the
will of the voters. However,
this change of base comes too
late. Too many hard words have
been said. Too many weak
newspapers will be ready to settle
down on the reformed reform
erS," and at the first chance sell
them 'out again. There is no
way now but a general house
cleaning, and the first necessary
step will be a radiance of every
newspaper that ever advocated
fusion. 1t will also be necessary
to recognize the fact that the
true, Populists never would fuse.
All this is recognized in the ac-
ton of the central committee,
but what will be the manner OF
recognition? This will be test
of sincerity. We venture the as
sertion that the fusionists will
organize so as to hold the key to

A bill has been introduced in
state legislature, House Roll No.
265 asking for an appropriation
of S85,000 to build a fire proof
building for the State Historical
Society in order to provide safe
depository fot its collections.
These collections consist of docu-
ments, books, newspapers,
weapons, tools, pictures, scien-
tihc specimens, farm and factory
products pertaining to the history
of Nebraska and the great west.
The quarters that are now oc-
cupied by the state Historical
Society is in the basement of the
University Library, and are
crowded and very poorly suited
for the purpose. 1t is estimated
by having the city of Lincoln
donate the site that the money
asked for will complete a three
story fire proof building 80 by
120 feet that will prove ample
room for the Society for the next
generation. A visit to the So
ciety rooms in its cramped ant
crowded quarters would convinc,
any one, with a spirit of pride anc
progress that better quarters are
greatly needed and that the APP
preparation should be made if tn,
states finance will at all permi

Anti Trust Legislation.

Congress passed the Antitrust
bill Saturday by unanimous vote.
Several attempts were made to
amend the bill by the democrats,
but failing in their efforts all
united with the republicans in
passing the bill that had been
prepared by the republicans.
Since the passage of the bill it is
reported that number of Sena-
tors have received kilograms
signed John D. Rockerfeller,"
stating: 1--WE are opposed to any
antitrust legislation. Our coun-
sci, Mr.--will sse you. 1t
must be stopped" 1t is further
stated that following the tele-
gram one of the Standard Oil
Cos. attorneys called on members
of the senate last Saturday, who
was promptly informed that his
presence was not wanted by the
said senators. If true, no better
service could have been rendered
by the Standard Oil Co. in fur
thering antitrust legislation. A
red flag waved in the face of
mad bull would be no surer of in
ducing immediate results. The
story is too gauzy for intelligent
belief, The managers of the
Standard Oil Co, are certainly
not such fools as to think they
can infuenre legislation in that
way. No surer methods could
be adopted to hasten legislation
against them. Be the story true
or false, the action of the house
in passing the committee bill by
a unanimous vote shows a very
favora BILE state of affairs aud
there is but little doubt that with
such a unanimous sentiment in
the house the same sentiment is
largely shared in the senate.
The president is reported to have
asserted that should this congress
fail to enact an antitrust law at
this session he will call an extra
session Immediately on its adj
Ijournment for the purpose of hav-
ing a law on that question

month, and 1t is probable that
his uutimely death will call for
official resolutions when the
house meets again.
The movement among the
district judges of the state to re-
duce the number of judicial dis
tricts and the numder of judges
is taking definite shape, and it
is probable that bill to reappor-
tion the districts will soon be in
the hands of the apportionment
committees. Lawyers agree that
there is a gradual reduction in
the amount of litigation, and
that fewer judges can do the
work, with consequent saving
to the state. There is also much
sentiment in favor of a return to
the district attorney system, and
a bill to that effect has already
been introduced. The argument
is made that counties are unable
to elect attorneys who are cap
able of coping with the stronger
members of the bar in criminal
cases, and that in smaller counties
the salaries are so small as to
furnish no attraction to good
lawyers. 1t is claimed that dis
trict attorneys mag be elected,
with reasonable salaries, result
ing in stronger legal talent and
better service in the prosecution
of criminals. Many district
judges favor the plan.
The Legislature has forty days
in which to introduce bills, and
of these twenty days have already
gone. 1t is expected that during
the first week after this recess
most of the important measures
will have been introduced, in
Guiding the appropriation bills
which come shortly after the
visits to the state institutions.

We notice from the Chronicle
Citizen that the World-Herald
has classed the REPUBLICAN with
the subsidized papers of the state
in favor of the railroads. I'M
fortunately we did not see the
charge. AS there are several of
the papers of the state that has
opposed the local assessment of
railroad terminals it is but natur-
al that the Omaha papers should
try to prejudice the public again
st said papers. To do this they
claim that all such papers are
using matter prepared by rail-
road attorneys for which they
ace receiving pay from the rail-
roads. To just what extent the
claim may be true we do not
know. We know the REPUBLI-
CAN is not one of that number
and that we have not received a
cent for space in our paper for
that class of matter since the
issue has been raised. Last fall
we run over 800 inches of matter
on the question of railroad as
sements under a contract with
Chas. d. Thompson, news paper
advertising agency of Omaha
for which we charged and re-
ceived local advertising rates.
. We noticed the same class of adj
vertising matter was run in the
Bee, World-Herald, Beacon and
many other papers of the state.
If the World-Herald will carefully
: read our editorials on the taxa
tion of railroad terminals it will
discover they differ essentially
, from the railroads contention.
We maintain that there should
be no change in the present
method of assessment of the
terminals which is in harmony
with the position held by the
railroads. But we insist that
: rail road property is not paying
the tax that it should and that
the valuation with all other
property should be increased. In
} the latter proposition we take
issue with the railroad corpora
( ton and in the former oppose the
: contention of the Omaha papers,
: We conted that all railroad pro-
perty located on the right
} OF way whether in Omaha,
Lincoln or Broken Bow, should
? be included in the assessment
? made by the state board and
l shared equally with every mile OF
: road in the state. We are not
e contending that railroad property
. in Omaha outside of the right-of
: way should be so assessed, but
:, conceed that il should be assess.
/ ed locally for local purposes
t The average assessment of rail
: roads per mile in 1902 was ONLY
! S4'6ol.S7, while in 1892, ten years
D previous, the amount was S.

The revenue committees had a
general discussion over the basis
for a new bill, and at last, as a
matter of state pride, decided to
take the Nebraska law as basis
with the tacit understanding that
the Kansas bill would be drawn
upon for whatever good
features it contained. All be-
l1eve that the first important
thing is to get all property listed
on the assessors books at its fair
value, and that the next impor-
tant thing is to provide better
methods for the collection of the
taxes. In both these features
experience has proven that the
Nebraska law needs mending in
order to produce the requisite
revenues to run the business of
the state.

The greatest interest of the
past week was conferred around
revenue matters, and it was pretty
well agreed that the special re-
venue committees should be
given a week to digest and pre-
pare a revenue bill. 1t was con-
coded that this would be the only
feasible way to get a revision of
the law. Those who were oppos-
ed to revision were also opposed
to adjournment for the week.
To their number was added some
who had made personal arrange
ments for the week which they
did not like to change. For a
time it looked as if the senate
would not occur in the adjourn
ment, but finally an agreement
was reached. This gave the
revenue committees time to work
without having to pay attention
to other matters. 1t also gives
the other committees time to
visit the public buildings of the
state.

LEGISLATIVE NEWS.
Special Correspondence
Too late for last week

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 3, 1903.
As outlined in the letter of last
week, the legislature took a very
short time in showing its dis
approval of the land leasing bill
now before congress. The Ne
braska Legislators were very little
impressed by the fact that the
bill was advocated by congress-
men and United States senators.
They hit it quick and hard. At
the same time there was a gener-
al sentiment expressed in favor
of allowing larger areas of home
steads in the range country, to
allow the small cattle owners a
better chance.

the interest of the bureau, trying
to secure a course of entertainment
for this place. A meeting was held
Monday night to decide on the
ways and means, and it was felt
that number of lecturers could be
secured for this winters entertain
ment. The Washburn Lecture
Course was organized Thursday
night with the following officers:
Pres. Prof. Neagli; Treasurer, Rev.
Grey and Miss Ward, Secretary.
Five entertainments were decided
on and the price for a season ticket
was placed within the reach of all
$500, and single tickets so cents
for each entertainment. We are
glad to announce the securing OF
this series of entertainments for
Washburn and at a price that is
easily withinthe reach of all.

from the Havana Herald to show
that Washburn is not the only
place where box car merchants have
run up against the law, and are not
being prosecuted instead of being
prosecuted as we have heard re-
marked:-
"Some box car merchants are
here under arrest for selling goods
at Cogswell that do not come up
to the requirements of the pure food
law. They otherwise gull their pur-
chasers. One Cogswell merchant
offered to duplicate a big bill of
goods sold by them at a much less
price than paid by the purchaser,
and he said he would refill the or
der as many times as required at
the discount from the price paid
that he offered and that he would
then be making more than the or
binary everyday profit.
