One of the reasons advanced for the
protest filed by the county assessor of
Lancaster county against the mercan-
tile assessments of Douglas county is
that the assessments of jobbing houses
in the two places do not correspond
proportionately with the volume of
sales. But the law does not fix the
volume of sales as the basis of taxa
ton. Quite the contrary, the consti-
tuition of Nebraska declares explicitly
that taxes shall be levied on every per-
son or corporation in proportion to
the value of his or her property. A
merchant might have a large stock of
goods, yet never make a sale for the
whole year and still be taxable upon
it's fair value, while another merchant
making sales mounting into the thou
sands, but selling from sample only,
would pay on but a trifling valuation.
1t is the essence of a general property
tax such as we have in Nebraska that
people who derive their incomes
chiefly from services in the professions
or otherwise are taxed little or moth,
ing compared with those who depend
on their property for returns. Like
wise the merchant who turns his STOCK
rapidly gets an advantage in the mat
ter of taxes over his competitor who
turns his stock less often.

built after the same fashion as the
platform put out by the democrats in
the recent municipal campaign in
Omaha and the nominees will likewise
swallow it with their eyes shut.

many candidates on hand for the varsity
eight, the varsity four and the freshmen
eight as he had last year, but he has no
idea how many students Will come out for
places on the various crews that are to row
in the new spring regatta events.
This question, In fact, is worrying the
rowing management, and 1t is expected that
steps will be taken shortly to provide
coaches for those who do not expect to try
for places in the varsity and freshmen
boats. Manager Bogue recently was asked
whether II was likely that a special coach
would be hired for these oarsmen. He said
that under existing conditions the crew
would not be able to assume the extra la
bility. He purposes. however, making the
spring regatta a success, In order that in
future years the interest will increase In
rowing. and to this end he now is search
ing for graduates who will have time to do
the work. Rutherford S. Pierrepont. bow

the league this season. and resulted in a
victory for the Y. NJ. c. A. team, the
score being 81 to 10. The game was wit
messed by very large gathering of specta-
tors which packed the spacious gallery
Although the Carroll boys were away from
home, they were ably supported by a sturdy
band of rooters, who cheered them from
start to finish.
The special feature of the contest was
the excellent team work displayed by the
Y. NJ. c. A. players, as by II they obtained
many OF their goals. The Carroll boys seem
ed to be handicapped by the large gymna-
stun, as they have a much smaller one on
the home grounds. In the individual work
FOR the Y. NJ. c. A. team Schlosser, Leach
and Bopp carried off the honors, the first
throwing very difficult goals from the field.
Bopp played fast game, although there
were a number of fouls called on him, owing
TO hts following his opponent so closely.
For the CAROLS Cullen and Cramer did
the best work, the later throwing one OF
the most difficult goals ever secured in tho
gymnasium.
