Il am glad that someone has started

NEW WAY OF SECURING TAX
Bresn'S Method Of Catching Western Union
Adopted BY Council and Mayor.
ClRCUMVENTS DECISION or THE COURT
Plan A. 60 Determine Franchise
value In Another way and
Then Assess IL for
City Taxation.

A new departure In taxing corporations
that have got out Of paying their proper
tion OF municipal government expense is
being taken by the mayor and council
under the direction of City Attorney
Breen.
The case in point concerns the Western
Union Telegraph company. The supreme
court declared unconstitutional the method
OF assessing the franchises of telegraph.
express and telephone companies pre-
scribed by the revenue law, or on the basis
Of the gross local receipts for the year on
state business. BY this litigation the
Western Union knocked out a large part
of its city taxes for 1904 and 1906, although
all the taxes evaded would not exceed $500.
Now the city attorney proposes to lay
hold of the supreme courts broad hint
that though the method was not good, the
principle Of assessing franchises is excel
lent and may be carried out in some other
way, presumably by determining franchise
value by subtracting the value OF tangible
property from the market worth of the
stocks and bonds issued. Therefore At
torney Breen has gone back and figured out
things along this line, discovering that ap-
parently an assessment made in this man
ner will be much greater than In the way
the revenue law had it.
six Times that Much.
Whereas the value of the franchise has
been computed at about $4,000. OF upon the
gross receipts, Mr.. Breen has figured II
out that by the stocks and bonds method,
distributed according to the amount of pole
lines, the local franchise is worth pretty
close to 100000 The Western Union de-
clined to pay a $3.50 tax on its franchise
few weeks ago. but II the Breen proposition
carries it's bill will be about A,l5O. The
same proportions hold good for 1904.
To execute this intention the council has
adopted a concurrent resolution reciting
the facts and declaring that 1t is right and
equitable that the corporation should pay
it's fair share OF the taxation burden and
that the council proposes to see that this
Is done The city clerk is directed to
notify the officers or agents of the COM
pany to appear at the regular council meet
ing next Thursday night and show reason
why the Omaha franchise should not be
assessed at 100000 for both years. The
levy for 1901 is $40 on 500 and for 1905
S115 on $780,
1T am quite confident the Western Union
Telegraph company is going to lose money
by indulging IN it's prediction for legisla-
ton" said Attorney Breen. Il think the
right of the city to reassess and relevy in
a case like this is clearly established I
am Just as sure that value of the fran,
chise, calculated by the stocks and bonds
and mileage method in measure approved
by the supreme court, will give us much
higher assessment"
