the case that they were not influenced by
any such considerations in reaching their
conclusions as to the value of complainants
property: that the only effect, II any, that
such discussion had upon their action was
to cause them to give a more thorough in
vestlgation OF facts from which to ascer-
tain the real value of complainants road In
Nebraska 1t is sought to overcome this by
showing a large increase in the valuation
for assessment in the year 1904 over the
valuation made by the board of the same
property In 1903. 1t is borne in mind, how
ever, that the assessment for 1904 was made
under a new revenue law, very different
from that under which the valuation was
made In 1903, and under the new act the
valuation OF property other than the rail-
roads was also largely increased, though
not the same percentage as railroad prod.
erty.
THE fact that the said Board OF Equa-
lization and Assessment, in fixing and de-
termining the value OF complainant's prop
erty. considered its franchise derived from
the congress of the United States does not
invalidate the assessment Western Union
Tel. Co. against Mass. rs L. s., $50; West
ern Union Tel. Co against Taggart, l6S U.
s., 1.
1.-The fact that the board in fixing the
valuation OF compliments property for
assessment within the state, took into
consideration earnings of complsinant's
property upon business interstate in char
acter which had neither origin nor destina-
ton within the state of Nebraska. was
not an improper exercise of its powers.
1t was their duty to ascertain the value
OF complainants property within the
state as an operating railroad. One of
the factors proper TO be considered in
determining such value was complainant
Omaha daily bee., 1906-01-14

earnings whether such earnings were de-
rived from local or interstate business.
A railroad as an operating concern is
manifestly of greater value than the mere
tangible property constituting the road,
unoperated Suppose, for instance, a rail-
road company's line of road should cross
one corner of the state, having no depot or
station within the state. and that all of
it's traffic. so far as the state was con-
cerned, was interstate In character. would
IL be said that in such case, because
the few miles of road within the state
did ne local business, that in determining
the value of such mileage it's business and
earnings could not be considered as
factor? The earnings of a railroad arc an
important feature in determining it's value,
irrespective of whether such earnings are
upon Interstate business or otherwise. II
the value of a railroad. for the purposes
of taxation. which extends through sew
eral states. was to be determined by its
earnings upon business arising and
terminating In each state, its real and
actual value would be greatly reduced,
and probably large per cent of its value
thus escape taxation.
Rule of Law.
That the board in valuing COM
plainant's property for assessment valued
the same upward of 20 per cent higher
than the relative value of all other prop
erty subject to assessment within the
state is unavailing unless such excessive
valuation was intentional, the rule of law
being that the judgment of the state
board empowered to fix a valuation for
| taxation cannot be set aside by the testt-
mony OF witnesses that the valuation was
other than that fixed by the board, where
there is fraud or no gross error in the
system on which the valuations were

jAUNDERs AND BRoATcH ARE LEFT OUT

Erastus A. Benson was endorsed for the
republican nomination for mayor by the
board of governors of the Fontanelle club
last night.
Benson won out after a stubborn fight in
which Charles l. Saunders and w. J.
Broatch, applicants for the same trade
mark, were vanquished. The contest last
night settled down to Benson and Saund-
ers, Broatch being unable to add ITO his
meager strength. The endorsement came
after the third ballot ana while the fourth
was in progress.
Sixty-eight out of the seyenty-six gov
ernors were present, or seven more than at
tended the last meeting. Benson showed in
creased strength over a week ago at the
outset, leading on with thrty-fve votes. or
ten more than his average vote at the pre-.
vious meeting, during which many polls
were made. Saunders began with about
eighteen votes and Brosteh with about nf-
teen. On the two succeeding ballots there
was a perceptible trend from each of the
latter candidates towards Benson, who had
forty votes at last, or within Ave OF the re-
quired two-thirds majority.
Nomination Made Unanimous.
The fourth ballot was in progress when It
was stopped midway by w. A. Saunders,
who moved that the endorsement Of Benson
be made unanimous. The motion was sec
onded by Sheriff John Mcdonald and car
ried A searching party was sent out TO
bring In Benson to the club rooms neither
he. Saunders nor Broatch having been pres
ent. Mr.. Benson was obtained without
much dificulty He made speech OF
thanks and said he appreciated the endorse
ment. but made no pledges, and did not at
tempt to outline his platform or avowed
policy as a mayoral candidate.
The members of tho club were so happy
in getting the vexatious mayoralty business
on their hands that they decided to put
over the endorsements for other city ofhces
until the next meeting. Attempts were
made TO get Candidates Broatch and saund-
ers TO come In and address the club, but
without avail. il being reported that neither

dictation and control OF the bankers, on,
TO use a threadbare expression, "the

to how the debtor should vote. Now, how
ever, the Kansas farmer and shipper is
practically independent. The mortgages
have nearly all been lifted and almost
every one has some money OF his own

is not the product OF "crsnkism,' but is
backed by the states foremost business

erty entered into and was considered in
ascertaining the value OF, such stocks and
bonds that by this method the said board
imported within the state and assessed
against complainant property without the
state and over which the state board had
no jurisdiction.
Three Chief Points.
at is alleged in the bill that in these sew
eral respects the members OF said State
Board OF Equalization and Assessment
acted unlawfuly and fraudulently.
Upon the argument three propositions
only were discussed:
I. That the proceeding of the state board
contravened the federal constitution, as Il
imported property out of the state within
the state under pretense OF applying the
unit rule In fixing the valuation.
''e. That the state board proceeded arbi-
trariiy and not according to the provisions
OF the statute.
y. That the differentiation of all other
property, when compared relatively with
that of railroad property. shows a deiiber-
ate intent upon the part of the board TO
impose an unfair burden on complainant's
property.
The first ground stated in the bill. that
the members of the state board were in
fiuenced by public ciamor and did not exer-
else their own individual Judgment, is not
supported by the evidence. While the evil
dence shows that there was considerable
public discussion through the press ana in
public gatherings to the effect that the
railroads were not paying their proportion
ate share OF taxation and that their as
sessment ought to be increased. the pre-
sumption OF law is that the members OF the
board performed their duty lmpartlally and
according to the requirements OF the stat
ute. The members have each testified IN
