county and give to other counties. l do
not think Il Is quite right and fair so far
as Douglas county is concerned. but my
position is simply thus, that the real object
and purpose Of that law was to distribute
the tax on railroads for county and state
purposes and was not for the purpose Of
In any way affecting municipal taxation.
You may examine the law which is to be
found on page 4O7 OF the Complied Statutes
and you will hnd that It prescribes in
the FIRST place that a railroad company,
by its superintendent OF president, shall
return to the state board the entire prop
erty belonging to the railroad company
its right-of-way, depot grounds. etc. II
then becomes the duty OF the state board
to make a pro rata division OF that amount
to the several counties, and It is made the
duty Of the auditor to certify to the
county clerks Of the several counties in
which the property OF the railroad Is
situated, his assessment per mile, specify
ing the number Of miles and amount in
each OF such counties. Now don't you see
that Il is evidently the purpose and inten-
ton OF that law to relate only to county
and state. taxes7 II 1t was the intention
to apply to city taxes then would not the
law have gone little further and required
tue HAdAt duulAOA W VI W Nv WV
clerks the amount?
Mr.. Poppleton: II that is the law, how
does it come that you, as city attorney,
have never raised that point?
Mr.. Conneli: l have raised that point in
the courts.
Mr.. Poppleton; Not till last Saturday.
Mr.. Connell; And as a matter Of fact
that was not a case which fully illustrates
the point, for the reason that the city did
adopt Mr.. Poppleton's theory for valuation
and did make an assessment according to
his theory. l have frankly admitted IL
would amount TO double taxation. Now I
say tina you can not for city purposes
make a double tax upon the railroad prop
rty. II you adopt his system, which gives
merely a nominal valuation. then It Is plain
and apparent that you cannot assess II
upon the valuation that you pay. We ought
to meet this square in the face, and IL it
is right that the Union Pacific Railway
company should pay nothing upon its prop
erty according to the same basis as the
Belt line is taxed, you should say so.

RAILWAY EQUAL TAXATION
Genesis Of the Fight that is Now Being
Made in Omaha.
LOCAL HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF
Hot Debate Before the Original Char
ter Committed - Three-FusilIade
Between COnneII, POppletOn
and Roaewater In 1855.

The light that is now being made to COM
pei the railroads to pay taxes for city
purposes the same as individuals and other
corporations had it's origin in a red-hot de-
bate before the original charter committee
in 1886. II was a three-cornered fusillade,
in which City Attorney Cornell. Hon. An
drew J. Poppleton and E. ROsewater par
ticipated. The debate was reported and
published at length in The Omaha Bee OF
December 30, 1885. At that time Mr.. Pop
pleton was the general attorney OF the
Union Pacific railroad and was a member
Of the charter committee Of fifteen which
framed the charter for Omaha as a city Of
the metropolitan class. II was at this time
that Mr.. Cornell prepared and fought for
his viaduct provisions and for equitable
railroad taxation. The arguments made by
Mr.. Connell and Mr.. Rosewater are sub
stantially those now being urged. What oc-
Cured presents a case Of history repeat
ing itself. and Is an illustration Of the
proposition that no question is settled until
It is settled right. For the Information OF
those interested in the vital question of
Just railroad taxation the red-hot debate Of
1886 and the proceedings Of the charter
committee Is reproduced.

mo Charter Committee.

There was a fair attendance at the meet
ing Of the charter amendment committee
yesterday afternoon. The 1rst question dis
cussed was that Of railway taxation. As
he had previously announced his intention
to do, City Attorney Connell reported his
amendment providing that the property OF
railway and telegraph companies be as
sessed for taxation the same as that Of
all other corporations and individuals.
Mr.. Poppleton objected. He held that the
amendment was to the contempt Of the
committeeman no business there.
Mr.. Cornell said that he had followed
right IN the line Of other changes offered.
II the committee objected, 1t was simply
a matter Of striking cut a very few lines
from the pages already prepared with
amendments, which in nine cases out Of ten
have been approved by the committee.
Mr.. Poppleton sad he did not like to
see the amendment go in.
Mr.. Connell said 1t was to subject the
railway and the telegraph property to the
same tax precisely as the property OF other
corporations and individuals. on the theory
that there is no reason why. these COM
panies should not pay for maintaining the
police department. hre department and
other necessary expenses Of the city, pre-

quired to do, and the same as the horse rail-
way. telephone company and every other
corporation in the city. except the rail
ways and telegraph companies. were re-
quired to do. Mr.. Poppleton had remarked
on another occasion that he did not propose
to engage In any side controversy or curb
stone debate. The speaker advocated the
amendment on the theory that 1t was right,
and can be defended upon principles OF
right, and cannot be successfully opposed
or resisted on any theory Of fair and just
taxation. The question had arisen in court,
where Mr.. Poppleton filed a petition ask
ing for an injunction. The speaker had
asked him the question: II the charter
was amended so as to give a clear right
to make this tax In this way. would It not
be constitutional, and in your judgment
would 1t be in conflict with the present
law? His recollection was that Mr.. Pop
pleton said II would be constitutional and
not In conflict with the present law.
Mr.. Poppleton: 1 did not say any such
thing. 1 said II it was put in the charter
1t would repeal the general revenue law to
the extent 1t would affect the general rev.
enue.

leaning toward statecraft than toward
the administrative and doctrinal duties
of his Office at Rome. Many persons
declare that it is imperative that the
next pontiff should be a prelate who
would devote his entire energies to re-
forms of an administrative and eco
nomic character, and likewise to the
more rigid enforcement Of the doc
trines and discipline of the church.
Cardinal Sarto, the patriarch Of Ven
ice, is the man of all others who fills
these requirements. He is probably
the most able administrator Of the Ital-
ian episcopacy, combines f1rmness and
determination with abundant tact and
common sense, and has managed to in
stitute a number Of very practical re-
forms in his archdiocese of Venice
without giving offense either to the cler-
gy or to the laity. He avoids all news
paper notoriety. Indeed, his name is
rarely mentioned in the press. He has
always understood how to maintain
an agreeable yet dignified modus vi
vendi with the Italian authorities,
from whom he derives his stipend, and
has shown his enlightenment by the
vigorous campaign which he has car
ried on against the generation of relics
Of questionable authenticity. He is on
friendly terms with the members Of
the reigning house of Italy, during the
late reign took part with King Hum
bert and Queen Margherita in the
launching Of man-of-war at Ven
ice, as well as in other state
ceremonies at which they were
present, and would certainly be
most agreeable choice as pope to
the present ruler of Italy. He is just
sixty-eight years old, which will be in
his favor in the eyes of the conclave,
since, as general rule, that number Of
years constitutes guarantee that the
pontifcate will not be Of undue length"

nature, beloved by many millions of
people. 1t Is certain that no prelate
would have more enthusiastic sane
ton frosn the laity.
Pope Plus x is sixty eight years
old He was born at REESE, in the prov
ince Of Venice, and was educated in
the Salesian institute at Cottolengo,
founded by the famous Dom Bosco. He
was always Of serious turn of mind
and when a young man his rector said
to him that he had "never been a
child"
Cardinal Sarto was not discovered"
until he had reached middle age. He
was a parish priest in the province Of
Venice for the most Of his years and
finally became a bishop. His high ex-
ecutive qualities and uneXcelled learn
ing became known soon after his ele-
walton and were recognized by the au.
thorities of the church. 1t was not
until 1893 that he was created a cardi-
nal, at which time he was also named
as patriarch of Venice. Thus the
modest but able parish priest became
the head of the province in which he
had served so many years in lowly
position. His selection was made by
the consistory of 1898, which was COM
PEELED to sue the throne for the privi-
lege of installing him as patriarch Of
Venice. In return for this concession,
which was made through Premier
Crispi, the church appointed an ecclesi-
astical vicar apostolic in northeastern
Africa to assist the premier in his pet
scheme Of extending the African colo
MES.
Cardinal Sarto had not been in office
Morris tribune., 1903-08-08

more than year before he publicly de.
clared for union between church and
state, speaking in no uncertain way
His utterances created a great sensa-
ton, and it was felt that he might have
offended the holy father by the fervor
Of his words. Apparently he received
the silent appreciation of the pope, in
whose estimation he ever held firm
| place.
1t was said at the time that Cardinal
Sarto made his Public announcement
that the Austrian and Prussian ambas-
sadors at the Vatican were endeavor-
| ing to induce the papal authorities to
| agree to a modus vivendi. Emperor
Francis Joseph Is reported to have
| written several letters to the pope with
this end in view, and Emperor William
Of Germany is said to have been equal
ly anxious to bring about an under
standing between the Vatican and the
Italian government.
For more than three decades a gulf
has yawned between the rival palaces
Of king and pope, a gulf material and
political. For thirty five years-since
the Italians battered down the massive
walls near the old Porta Pia- earnest
men and noble women of all parties
have been dreaming and hoping that
the mighty breach between victors and
vanquished might in some way be
closed.
1t was said of Pope Leo that in 1873,
when he had just succeeded Pope Plus
TX, he longed for some amicable ar
rangement with the Italians, but If
he did reasons of state outweighed his
private wish. He was silent, and thus
pledged himself to the no compromise
party.
1t is strange that while Sarto was
never seriously considered by the pub
lie at large or by the ordinary press
correspondents as a papal probability,

bought a return ticket. But the unex-
pected has happened, and Leo's pre-
diction has been fulflled-Cardinal
Sarto is Pope Plus K, and the Roman
Catholic church is satisfied that the
progress made during the reign Of
Leo XIII. is to be continued and per-
haps amplified under the administra-
tion Of the present pontiff.
Pope Leo's prediction was considered
remarkable by reason Of the fact that
because of Sarto's position with refer
ence to a moduS vivendi between the
church and the state he seemed to be
on that important point directly op-
posed to Leo. For instance, Cardinal
Sarto publicly announced his joy when
there were strong probabilities Of a
union between church and state, and
his accession to the pontificate has long
been regarded in certain quarters as
the solution Of the Roman problem SO
long unsolved and so long a cause of
dissension over all Italy, to say nothing
of it's bearing upon the attitude Of 9th
er Catholic countries. Cardinal Sarto
is noted for his prudence, having never
meddled with politics. and for extreme
independence. He is also patron Of
the arts, and launched Father Lorenzo
Peros1, the celebrated priest composer.
The cardinal is recognized as one of
the most learned men in the church.
He is stickler for the exact truth as
between the church and the people, and
won much renown some years ago by
destroying certain relics Of doubtful
authenticity. He brings to his high
Office character Of most attractive
modesty, unusual energy in the direc-
ton Of matters large and small, the
talents Of a fine administrative officer
and the first qualities Of an organizer.
In addition to his abilities and his I'M
doubted Christian character, the car
Ginal is, from the sweetness OF his
Morris tribune., 1903-08-08

" N April, 1902, when the late Pope
Leo XIII. was in practically per
feet health and there was no
probability that his brilliant reign
would be 80 soon cut short by the grim
reaper, the pont1f remarked in a seri-
GUS conversation with Father Perosi,
the Italian priest whose musical COM
positions have made him famous the
world over, that he was convinced that
his successor would be Cardinal Sarto,
the patriarch Of Venice. When the
recent conclave went into session there
seemed little probability that Leo's
prophecy would be fulfilled, for RAM
polla seemed to have an almost COM
manding lead among the members Of
the college of cardinals, with Oreglia,
Gotti and Serafno Vannuteln as strong
possibilities. Besides these, there were
several others who were thought to be
likely candidates In case the rivalry
among the leaders should become so
intense as to make the election Of any
one Of them impossible. But Sarto's
name was scarcely mentioned except
among the most reverent who remem-
bered the prediction Of Pope Leo and
those who were mindful of the popu-
larity in the Catholic church Of Oardi-
nal Sarto, which by many was regard
ed as being second not even to
that of Leo himself. Cardinal Sarto,
now Pope Plus x, evidently did not
seriously consider himself as one Of the
papabil1, for the evening before his
election he declared, in speaking to
friend who had suggested that he
might be the next pope, that when he
started for Rome from Venice he had

his availability was commented upon
by the really thoughtful writer's more
frequently than that Of any other car
dinal. AS an example, special cor
respondent Of a prominent American
daily last April wrote as follows to his
paper concerning Cardinal Sarto and
the papacy:
"It is Cardinal Giuseppe Sarto, the
patriarch Of Venice, the friend and
patron of Able Perosi, the composer,
who is at the present moment regard
ed not only throughout Italy, but like
wise in the principal capitals of Eu-
rope, as destined to become the next
pope. So little has been heard of him
until now in connection with the papal
succession that he may be regarded in
the light of dark horse in the race,
which is perhaps due to the fact that
he rarely goes to Rome, that he has
never been resident of the Eternal
City, and that from the time of his be-
ing appointed vicar general of the do
cese of ,Treviso until now he has held
steadily aloof from all the projects Of
the curia.
"The vast majority of the Italian car
dinals, and especially those who, form
ing part of the curia, are established
in the Eternal City, have won their
promotion to the sacred college as
members Of the diplomatic service Of
the papacy rather than as priests. And
when a prelate has spent the greater
portion of his life in diplomacy, and
has found it the stepping stone to high
honors, it naturally leaves him at the
close Of his career as representative Of
the Vatican abroad, with a greater
