GRAIN DEALERS IN ERROR.
State Board Insists Law Does Not
Provide for Double Taxation.


LINCOLN.-The charge that Sect
ion sc of the new revenue law, provid.
ing for the assessment of grain brOk.
ers, is double taxation, in the opinion
OF the State Board of Equalization,
will not be sustained by the courts
should an attempt be made to pre-
ven its enforcement. This section
provides that grain brokers shall, I'M
der oath. at the time required by the
act, determine the average amount of
capital invested during the year, ex-
elusive Of real estate or other tangible
property. upon which the broker shall
be taxed.

that this act enforced a double taxa
ton and it has been rumOred for some
time that it would be tested in the
courts. So many inquiries have been
received by Secretary Bennett from
country assessors, that today he sent
out this explanation, which he thinks
shows conclusively that the section
does not impose double taxation:
For example, the elevator that be-.
gins business with: Cash, 5 5000; value
of elevator $500; the average CAPT
tai invested during the year, $500.
He returns to the assessor his tang
ible property as follows: Elevator,
$500; cash in bank, $500; grain on
hand, $4,000; toal, $4,000.

Governor Mickey Issues His Prcelama
ticn Relative Thereto.

ticn Relative Thereto.
Governor Mickey has issued a proc
lamation setting aside Friday, April
II, as Arbor day. The proclamation
follows:
The most sublime object in the
1t commands our admiration not be.
IL of its practical value alone, but
because it typifies sturdiness, persist.
ency and progress. For many years.
~perchance, it has defied the fury c.
the winds, the rush of the torrents,
the extreme of summers heat anG
winters cold. and it stands as if in
conscious pride of the vigorous bat,
tie with the elements which it has
fought and won. From the standpoint
of sentiment we can all appreciate the
thought which a well known poet has
expressed in the following verse:
Woodman, spare that tree,
Touch not a single bow.
In youth it sheltered me,
And I'll protect it now.
Twas my fo%refather's hand
That placed it near his cot;
There, wOodman, let it stand;
Thy AK shall harm it not.
1t is a we'll known fact hat our nat
ural forests have been denuded until
serious climatic changes are threat
ened. 1t is to correct this evil, as
well as to encourage the systematic
planting of trees in a praIrle country,
to embellish our pubic and private
properties and to inculcate a love
for both the practical and sentimental
features of forestry that Arbor day
has been established in nearly every
state in the union. Nebraska takes
more than ordinary pride in the day
because the idea originated here, and
probably no other state has received
so much benefit from it.
In harmony with this honored GUS
tom |, John H. Mickey, governor of
the state of Nebraska, do hereby ap-
point and set apart Friday, April %,
1904, as Arbor day and request that
the true spirit of forestry be observed
in IL public schools by appropriate
exercises and the planting of trees,
and that all societies and individuals
assist in general recognition Of the
day.
