TEST OF BROWNS OPINION

TaxabiIity of saloon
License.

In order to test the soundness OF At
torney General Browns opinion that sa-
loon licenses are taxable property a test
suit will be started in this county, &C
Cording to a statement made by County
Attorney Slabaugh Tuesday. Heretofore
saloon licenses have not been taxed, but
the attorney general recently gave an opin-
ion that the State Board of Equalization
has directed local boards to include them
in its list of taxable property.
County Attorney Slabaugh has received
from Attorney General Brown a letter
written to John B. Raper county attorney
Of Pawnee county, giving the opinion in
detail
lie holds saloon licenses to be a form of
property having value, and as such should
be listed as franchises or special privileges
The value is not necessarily the amount
of the license fee, but In fixing the value
the assessor should take into consideration
the cost, the time it is to continue in
force, as well as the profits and losses
which might be reasonably anticipated as
a result OF the business to be carried on
under the license.
Omaha has between 40 and $50 saloons
paying license fee Of 1900 each.

If the stock of cold storage eggs at Omaha

hens start TO lay well about April 1. but
owing to the cold. wet weather OF March
this year they did not begin business until
about the middle OF the month. II the
weather had turned hot the first OF this
month the cold storage men would have

hot weather eggs are not good material
FOR packing. Fortunately, the weather has
been OF the best sort ever since the hens
started laying, and, to do them Justice the
product has been enormous, though at the
same time the consumption of late April
eggs has been large. because of the fact
that March and early April production was
unusually small.
All conditions considered. even II the
weather continues favorable until about
May 20, it is probable the cold storage men
will begin the egg year with considerable
shortage.
Fourteen cents is the price per dozen Of

Typographical union is maintaining a
home for it's indigdHt members at Colorado
Springs The institution was opened for
business in July, 1892 Up to June 1. 1905.
the printers of the United States and

(value of site not ineluded) in establishing
retreat for invalid, inh-m and aged
members of the organization.
The late Congressman Amos j. Cum

library to the institution and a fund has
been created TO build an annex to the
main buildings in which to install the
present library, the Cummings library and
the large number of autographed volumes
now being donated by members OF the or
ganization and prominent people through
out the United States. Among the con-
tributors thus far are: Grover Cleveland

Hon Champ Clark. Governor A B. Cum
minis Of Iowa. Upton Sinclair, and the
governors of Connecticut, Delaware, Cali

1t was originally intended that only mem
bers of the organization be asked to con-
tribute to the library, but so many authors
and prominent public men sent in auto
graphed copies of rare and useful books
that 1t was decided to let down the bars
to all friends of this worthy institution.

CHICAGO, May S-George Slosson, the
champion 1872 billiard player, was defeated
here tonight in the professional tournament
now In progress in Orchestra hall by Jake
Schaefer by the score Of 500 to 496.
Failure on the part of Slosson to get the
balls out of balk when he had but five
points to go cost him the game At that
left, the spheres in easy position and the
Chicago man soon got them and in an in

on the necessary eighty billiards to win the
game.
Ii was hard game for slosson to lose,
as he played the better billiards of the two
greater part Of the contest Both men
played safety all the time and on this ac-
count their average was low, as they were
called upon TO execute all sorts of difficult
shots from false angles.
As an Illustration of the sort of billiards
the men were playing, Schaefer executed
shot in the seventeenth inning that
seemed an absolute impossibility. The OBJ
ject balls were lined up at one end of the
table. while the cue ball was almost against
the far rail in a straight line Schaefer
played masse the whole length of the ia
BILE, hit the near ball on a curve, curved
TO the cushion and caught up with the red
ball a foot and a half from the cushion,
where II had been driven by the impact of
the first object ball. The highest run for
the game was made by Schaefer, with 103.
Slosson's best score was IS. Slosson was
in the lead the greater part OF the game.
Al the end of the twelfth inning he was

Oua LETTER BOX



OMAHA, May S.--To the Editor OF The
Bee: on the first page of The Bee Of
May was an article entitled, omaha
Ground Is Too Cheap" This article was
an account Of a meeting of the Omaha
Real Estate Dealers association, at which
a higher price on ground values in this
city was advocated. The following day
The Bee, in it's editorial columns, endorsed
the position taken by some OF the real
estate dealers at the meeting referred to.
Moreover. other articles have recently APP
pcared in the local papers indicating a
purpose on the part OF the real estate
dealers and owners to boost ground
valuation in the city.
Those who seek to force up groun /
values are the real and only enemies OF
the city's growth and prosperity. High
prices for land kills prosperity. 1t means
less money for buildings and for pro-
ductiNe enterprises, and consequently less
employment for labor. 1t means highar
rents, smaller profits in business, lower
wages and higher cost Of living Can 1t
also mean increased prosperity?
Have we forgotten the lesson OF a
former period of high land values and
supposed prosperity. followed by years OF
business depression, demoraliZed values
aud declining population?
Every day sites which will soon be re-
quired for important business enterprises
are being bought up by land spectators
with the intention of holding up such en-
terprises for higher price. Those that
may locate here will have less capital TO
put into the enterprise, and others will
be forced to go elsewhere. The news
papers and real estate dealers who have
the city's welfare at heart will do all
they can to keep down ground values.
Instead of encouraging high priced land,
let them advertise that here is to be found
cheap land for homes, for business AMI
manufacturing purposes, with great ter
ritory of cheap land tributary to the city.
Then if we could keep land values down
we would have real and lasting pros
perity. H. J. h.

IA. WILLARD FOR DOG CATCHER
Banker Applies for Position of Poundmsster
Under New Administration.
SOLE IDEA is MERCY FOR DUMB BRUTEs
A. President OF Nebraska Humane
society Mr.. Willard seeks to
Extend Principles Of
that Organization.

The dog catcher under the new demo-
cratic city administration may be a man
worth more than half a million dollars.
Alfred Willard, cashier of the United
States National bank and one of the best
known men in local financial and society
CIRCLES Is AN applicant for the position.
The job of dog catcher Is known officially
as poundmaster and is a fee office, revenue
being derived from penalties paid for tho
redemption of animals. 1t is estimated
to be worth about $500 a year to the
incumbent, who usually hires assistants
to do the actual work of catching the
dogs.
Mr.. Willard isn't out for the graft in
the job; nor does he especially pine for
the physical exercise involved in the
edifying occupation Of lassoinE 4 yelping
canine with a copper wire lariat. He
wants it because he is friend of dogs
and all other animals. He Is president
Of the Nebraska Humane society, through
the efforts of which one of the best dos
pounds i'm the United States was built a
few years ago in this city. The society
has just employed resident superinten-
dent to have charge of its work and Mr..
