Proposed Amendment Would Destroy the

CORPORATIONS TO EvADE ASSESSMENT
Suggested Measure Would Allow Many
Millions to Escape Taxation
SOUNDS NOTE OF WARNING TO STATE
People of Nebraska as Much Inter-
ested as the People of Omaha in
Having an Equitable Val

Thirty three representative citizens
adopted unanimously the following resolu-
tions at a meeting called suddenly by the
tax committee Of the Real Estate exchange
at the Commercial club yesterday after
noon:
Whereas, Ii is reported that anne ndments
are in contemplation to the general revenue
bill which has been prepared by special
which amendments provide that street rail-
way, electric light, water and gas com
panies, shall be assessed only on their
tangible property and in addition to an
amount equal to one years gross receipts,
which said additional assessment on the
gross receipts is TO be in lieu Of a tax on
the franchises: and
Whereas, Such amendments would mean
that the value of the franchise would be
grossly undervalued to the extent In the
case Of the Omaha corporations OF millions
of dollars; and
Whereas, Such principle and method OF
franchise assessments would II carried out
in state. county and city taxation, greatly
lower the assessments at present standing
and would result I'm the undervaluation of
franchised corporations not only in Omaha
but throughout the state, and practically
undo all the work accomplished during the
past two years by the public agitation and
litigation toward raising the valuation Of
such corporations TO just and reasonable
Resolved, by the citizens of Omaha In
emergency meeting assembled, That we
smendme1ts nSqd tSet %e regard the thTeSt

danger, and that we call upon the public
the press and the Douglas county delegation
to vigorously oppose the same, and that
we earnestly ask that said Douglas county
delegation use all the power Il possesses TO
prevent the passage of said obnoxious
amendments.
Action Prompt and Unanimous.
This resolution, which explains itself. was

Lie Beneflt Of change.

We lk, nuusc plauts WI
need a change of soil now and then
Ito be replanted. New scenes,
new experiences, new surroundings,
a change Of climate, dry air instead
of moisture, sunshine in place of
cloud. This is sometimes essential
TO health. There are conditions
near at hand that are better than
Europe can offer. Take a month
or two in California. Plant your
self for time where there are no
irritations, where the hotel is be-
yond criticism, the landscape pleas
ing, and where warm sunny
weather invites to walks and drives.
Pure and dry air, and the increased
electric influences of sunshine are
vastly helpful.
You can make this trip at very
little expense, and enjoy a ride
over the scenic Siskiyou and Shasta
mountains, which, at this time Of
the year with their snow-covered
peaks, are unsurpassed for their
grandeur.

Valuable Waste PAPER.

In the treasury department great
er care is required in the removal
Of waste paper than in any Other
government Office. All waste paper
in the treasurer's Office is inspected
by special waste paper inspector,
whose duty it is to discover any
valuable document that may have
been carelessly misplaced. 1t is then
sent to the waste paper room in the
subbasement, where all the contents
Of the wicker baskets are separated
into three piles-pasteboard and
brown paper and white paper. Two
women do this work year in and
year out. A month ago a check for
$4,000 was found in the waste pa
per room. From eight to ten tons
Of rubbish are removed daily. 1t
is sold to the highest bidder, and
the income to the government from
this source is about $1,000 a year.

PUBLIC OPINION WILL RULE
Continued from First Page.

not unreasonably SO when we say
that it is our opinion that the near
future will develop plans for the
government of these contending
forces that will bring a measure of
peace and prosperity to the indus
trial people of this country never
before enjoyed, and that capital
will surely find better and far
safer, if not as fabulously profitable,
investments than were ever known
in times past. We believe this on
the ground that the intelligence of
the common people will find a
remedy for the present deplorable
condition of the industrial world,
and that out of this great cloud
that overhangs and overshadows
all things else will burst the sun of
goodwill and fellow-feeling be-
tween capital and labor.
Voluntary, disinterested arbitra-
tion now seems to be the popular
plan. This will in time be sup
plemented, no doubt, by compulsory
arbitration, forced and directed by
law, after which the ill-omened
bird that now hovers over the
homes and business of our country
will take its flight, and the horrors
Of strikes will be known no more
forever. Then will the intelligent
workingman and the philanthropic
capitalist bless the day when public
opinion said to them, "You must be
just, not only to yourselves but to
the consumers as WE'LL" for this is
a triangular contest, the longest
line of which is represented by the
consumer, and his interest cannot
be ignored without bringing a
blighting failure accompanied by
calamitous results that would spread
disaster and ruin such as the world
has never seen. 1t must not be, it
cannot be, that capital and labor
will set at defiance the warnings
and sufferings of an offended public
for a much longer time.

Wheat, both fall and spring, has
made excellent advancement, and
there remains but little seeding to
be done. Pastures have improved
greatly and stock is rapidly being
turned out on the summer ranges.
Sheep shearing is general, and the
few reports received, indicate that
the clip will be below the average.
The increase of lambs is unusually
small. Hops continue doing nicely,
and in the early yards they are
high enough to begin twining. Cut
worms are reported in some sections,
but no complaints of other insect
pests have been made.

The Poetry of the Orange.

1t appeals to you, when the fruit
hangs ripe and sweet on the tree late
in February, or early in March. Then
the blossoms break out, and the trees
are yellow with golden globes, and
white with orange flowers. 1t may
be that furry of snow has whitened
the mountain tops, and then you have
an artistic background for a tropical
forest. The air is full of sunshine,
and heavy with fragrance as night
comes on, and then, if the moon be
you may hear at midnight
through open windows, the song of
the mocking-bird in the scented grove,
and it never seemed so melodious be-
fore.
An experience like this is possible
any winter, and it is worth a journey
Of a thousand miles, while you can
have it, by taking the scenic Shasta
Route through the grand and pictur-
'sque Siskiyou andShasta Mountains,
