What Terminal Taxation Means il Does Not Mean

80 that when the authorities Of every vii
lage town and city In Nebraska make up
their municipal tax rolls they shall asse'ts
whatever property a railroad has within its
borders at its actual value. This is all. No
change in the present method OF assessing
property for state. county and district pur-
poses Is contemplated.
The railroads are assessed now for mu-
nicipal tares in every city, town and vii
lage, but they are enabled. by reason OF the
law as IL il now, 70 evade a large part Of
their just share. The present law provides
that the state board shall lump all tangible
property, add to this the tangible value.
ana divide the total by the number Of
miles of road In the state. The quotient
represents the value per mile OF the roads
ana all that is necessary then 90 find out
the taxable valuation for each tax.ag dis
trict Is TO multiply that quotient by the
number of miles OF road therin. When the
city. town OF village starts to tax the rail-
road property inside It's borders It Is not
permitted to appraise It's value. but must
accept the figures OF the state board
To make this clearer. suppose the value
OF the Burlington railroad property In Lin
coin is 100000. II has $500 miles OF road
in the state. Each one OF these $500 miles
gets 500 Of taxable value from these
terminals. Each school district 10 the state
has that sum added for each mile 10 II ID
its tax roll. II the terminal taxation idea
prevails that system win not be changed.
The Burlington has about sixty miles OF
main and sidetTscks IA the city limits OF
Lincoln IL actually pays city taxes upoT
but 6,Oi miles OF track. IL pays state
county and school taxes on an Of the track

Chairman Allen OF the democratic state
committee has found one convert to his
anti-terminal taxation propaganda II is
the Beatrice Sun, Dan Cooks friendly
newspaper. IL says;
rAbout the most foolish fight that The
Omaha Bee As ever made is the one that
il Is now making to convince the state that
the present condition of affairs should
change and that the terminal facilities in.
GLIDING the railroad depots which are
worth. millionS OF dollars, should be as
sessed as a part OF Omaha, instead II being
nro rated along the line as at present
Whatever one may think Of this as a mat
ter OF equity. It would certainly be had
nolltics for the rural counties 10 let go any
mart of the taxes that they get from the
railroads in order 10 enrichen the cities Of
Omaha and Lincoln. The Bee will probably
make votes for its legal legislative ticket.
but II will gain nothing In the rural eoun-
ties"
The sun sditor certainly cannot he ig-
norant 81 what terminal taxstion means,
vet the above Is strong proof. or else he is
deliberately misrepresenting the question.
IL is quite likely, however, that he himself
does not understand It.
The terminal taxation movement does not
leomprehend the assessment Of the Omaha
terminals "as a part Of Omaha instead OF
being pro rated slons the line as u pres
emit" Neither arc Fthe rural counties un-
der It 10 let 50 any part % the taxes that

these values are counted in and spread all

it's trackage that IL without the limits Of

nicipal taxes. Notwithstanding that each
OF those miles had had added TO II its pro-

The Burlington will pay in Lincoln city
taxes this year upon sol miles OF road. the
sum of SS,124.6o. Il It was assessed for city
taxes on the basis OF actual value. IL
would pay i've Times that amount OF taxes.

The laborers have beepr engaged in rTlisiug

SENATOR ALIENS VIEW on PASSES
Fusion Leader does Not Think Judges

FnHiOn Leader Does Not Think Judges
Are Influenced.
NORFOLK, Neb. Nov. Especial "A
railroad pass rendered TO and accepted by
a Judge is not bride unless II is given
and accepted with the explicit understand
ing that 1t is a bride, according to former
United States Senator William V. Allen Of
Nebraska, one OF the foremost fusion
statesmen OF bis time, who was declared
by Mr.. Bryan, in his speech here, s to have
been the greatest friend OF the people ever
sent 10 the senate from Nebraska.
II am in hearty accord with my party
and believe in the election OF the fusion
ticket from top to bottom" said Senator
Allen. There Is no doubt that the pass
system is an evil incident to the private
ownership OF railroads. end probably It
will only disappear entirely with govern
ment ownership. l do not believe that a
pass is bride unless il is given and ac-
cepted as a bride, and l do not believe
that there is judge in the state of Ne
brsska whose decisions or oficial conduct
have been influenced by pass. Many OF
the judges have fallen into the habit Of
accepting passes when rendered them, but
have too high appreciation OF their per-
sonal worth and integrity TO believe that
any of them have been swerved from the
oath Of duty by pass. Yet / think the
pass. like the rebate. should speedily dis.
appear, but in my Judgment this can only
be accomplished by nationslizing the roads
have no doubt that judges Of our courts
will observe the public wish on the subject
OF passes. II a pass is now to be con.
sidered a bride, every president. including
the present incumbent from Lincoln down
