something else besides its rolling stock,

A QUESTION OF COST.

In any number of stores
you'll see various prepare
tons of cod liver oil at as
many different prices. You'll
wonder, perhaps why SCOTS
Emulsion costs more than
some other kind in as large
a bottle. Hearing only one
side of the question you may
be led into buying the "just
as good as SCOTS " at the
lower price. That's false
economy. SCOTS Emulsion
costs more because it's more
expensive to make. Every
ingredient is tested and guar
anteed of the purest quality.
No adulteration, no shaving
of quality. There's no econ
omy in bargain medicine. If
you can afford to experiment
with your health, substitutes
may satisfy you. We take it,
however, that you want a
pure preparation, reliable
remedy and something that's
going to help you. That's
what you get in SCOTS
Emulsion. Thirty years the
standard.

Mr. Pollard the fellow that shall assess
the Burlington railroad? The law requires
that a statement shall be made of the mar
ket and true value OF the stock. In its
schedule the Burlington stated that the
stock had no market value for two or
more years. The true value of the stock
was marked blank on that schedule. Is
this not an example of bad faith on the
part Of the railroad? When this injunc-

did not know what its stocks were worth.
Yet this stock three years before was
exchanged for bonds, two for one, bearing
4 per cent interest and the interest was

value, says Attorney.

The application for a permanent injunc-
ton to restrain the county treasurers OF
Nebraska from enforcing the collection Of
the delinquent taxes against the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy Railroad company
for the year 1904 and 1905 was argued be-
fore Judge Munger I'm the United States
circuit court Wednesday, Charles J. Greene
appearing for the railroad company and
Attorney General Norris Brown for the
state, assisted by County Attorney Sla-
baugh.
The entire forenoon was taken up with
the argument of Mr., Greene, who main
tanned that the taxes should not be levied
upon the entire road, but locally He said
in effect:
'Of the Sl70,O0OOOO of the stocks and bonds
of the road. but s2s.OOo,OO0 OF this amount
could properly be credited to Nebraska
East OF the Missouri river the railroad
serves a population OF 100000, while west
of the river there is population of less
than 4,OOO,Op The road has an approx
mate mileage OF 5000 miles. of which less
than one-half is west of the river. The en-
tire system both east and west OF the Mis-
souri, has been considered by the state

Equality of Valuation.

"One mile OF railroad on the basis OF
tax valuation is valuable as any other
mile That is so far as the road is consid-
cred in it's entirety a mile of railroad pass
ing farm in Sarpy county is just as val
liable as mile of that same road passing
through city. A part of land appropriated
for the right-of-way OF a railroad loses its
commercial significance and value other
than an integral part of the entire rail
road system.
"A railroad is simply an organization.
not an aggregation of wood, steel and roll
ing stock. The lands of the right-of-way
cease to have a commercial value in them
selves. They are valueless for any other
purpose than the railroad and as a part of
the organism of that road. This is a sclen-
tihc and philosophical fact that is scien-
tifcally and phllosophically sound. Take
the tangible property. stocks and bonds as
n whole, divide It by the total mileage and
then arrive a. the value by counties, as is
done in other states, and you will reach
the asscssable valuation OF that property,
and by no other fair way"

Norris Brown Argues.

Mr.. Greene concluded his argument at
2:O Wednesday afternoon and was followed
by Attorney General Norris Brown for the
State Board of Equalization. He proceeded
TO show the difference between the old and
under the old law the county boards OF
equali zation were the courts of final re-
sort in local tax matters. but that under
the new law no equalization is final until
passed upon by the State Board of Equal
ization. He said in part: Under this new
law all valuations must rise to the valua-
ton fixed by the state board. BY this
act land valuations were increased in
twenty-four counties of the state from %
to ZIG per cent and the judgment of the
state board in these increased valuations
Was sustained by the supreme court OF the
state. There has bCAl no substantiated
charge that the state board acted fraudu-
lently The board made it's findings upon
the evidence submitted. Not a particle of
evidence was produced that single as
able property. The board put into force
every provision of the new law in the
best of faith on the testimony given be-
fore it by competent and able authorities
after weeks OF careful elaboration as to
the fair taxation of all railroad property.
The board acted with the purest and best
motives. In 1893 the roads rendered ac-
cording to their own report $5OO.063 taxes,
but in 1894 they rendered but $4,000. or
over $4,000 less under the raised assess
ment than they had rendered the previous
year.
