AUDITORS biennial report you will find that
the Kearney branch Of the Union Pacific

Ehect of Proposed Law.
"That the article purporting to have
been prepared by one of the tax experts
of Nebraska is a tissue Of falsehood is
crtainly evident upon perusal. It's more
Evident when It is studied in the light
Of railroad returns to the state board and
the provisions of II. r. 1872. Under our
present law the assessment of railroads
for all purposes is made by the State
Board of Equalization and Assessment
The purposes for which railroads Fay
taxes are for state, county, school, town
ship road district and city or village.
II. H. 1872, the terminal taxation BILL
does not change the method Of assess
ment for any purpose except city ana
! village. It follows then that taxes for
state, county, school, township and ROAD
district assessed and levied as they have
been in the past will remain the same,
and will not be affected In any particular
by the passage Of II. r. 1872. Such taxes
| may be greater If the state board this
year raised railroad assessments. II. r.
| l92 does provide a new method for as
sessment Of railroad property within the
| limits OF Incorporated towns
TT provides that tho local assessor
shall assess railroad property within
| cities and villages for city and village
purposes the same as he assesses all other
| property What is more fair? who com
plains when his property is assessed On
! the same basis as adjoining property?
| on what good ground can the railroads
! complain If assessed by a local assessor?
! The fact is, none.

The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1907-11-08

Iowa has law in operation which is
proving a worker OF wonders among
the ranks OF those unfortunates who
cannot control their appetite for strong
drink. When a man becomes an
habitual drunkard he may be sent to
the inebriate hospital at Knoxville for a
term of from one to three years where he
is practically under the same restraint
as in states prison, and when he is
released he is a new man, and the
statistics of the institution, which has
been in operation for several years,
show that an extremely small per cent
of those so treated return to their old
ways, but on the contrary become use
full and respected citizens. During the
first years OF the operation of the law,
those who fell within its provisions
were confined in wards OF the state
insane asylums and many OF them
escaped after a few months confine-
ment, but in almost every case OF
escape the man quit his drinking and
thereby saved himself second trip to
the asylum.
The law has not only converted
many a drunkard into a clean and
useful citizen through the confine-
ment in the institution provided for
his treatment, but its deterrent infiu-
ence has been felt in all parts Of the
state. Men who were well on the
downward path became afraid to con-
tinue their debauchery for fear OF a
sentence to the hospital and reformed
while they could. Thus the law works
two ways and both for the betterment
Of society in general. Every state in
the union would do well to copy the
Iowa law.

The Most Costly Thing In the World

Some idea of the difficulties in the
way OF extracting radium from the
pitchblend waste may be appreciated
when we learn that pitchblend, the
mineral that is richest in radium, con-
tains but e-millionth part of l per
per cent OF radium, less than the pro-
portion of gold in ocean water. We
would think it pretty thankless task
to mine gold, or extract it, from sea
water; but the work would be far easier,
and we should get more gold from a
cubic yard of sea water than we would
radium from a ton OF pitchblend. Per-
haps, then, it would not be hard to
appreciate how little radium there is in
the world-less than twenty grains,
certainly not half teaspoonful of pure
radium bromide. A grain of gold can
be had for FIVE cents or less. Dia-
monds are worth by weight, much
more, perhaps $40 grain, but the
cost OF radium is truly fabulous
$1,000 for a single grain. Harper S
Weekly.

the Heinzes.
1t was not Theodore Roosevelt, but
Heinze, Morse and Thomas, whom an
honest and indignant Clearinghouse
committee had to scourge from the

1t was not Theodore Roosevelt, but
c. T. Barney who plunged the Knick-
erbocker Trust Co. into reckless real

1t was not Theodore Roosevelt, but
E. R. Thomas whom Mr.. Fleming
forced to return to the Provident Life
Assurance Society the money OF the
policy holders which had been deposit
ed in Thomas banks for use in wild
cat speculation.
1t was not Theodore Roosevelt, but
Thomas F. Ryan and associates who,
by combination Of stock-jobbing and
grand larceny, wrecked the most profit
able street railway system in the world.
1t was not Theodore Roosevelt, but
E. H. Hartman who looted the Alton
railway property.
1t was not Theodore Roosevelt who
was responsible for a system Of insu-
rance corruption the exposure Of which
shocked the whole civilized world, but
men who have never spent an hour in
cell as punishment for their offenses.
1t is not Theodore Roosevelt who

A Just Judge Advises Defendant to Hit

Mrs. James Ending received hear

week on a charge OF assault made by
Mr.. Burns a grocer. According to the
testimony, Mrs. Endling's little daugh-
ter went to Burns store and got a
pound of butter which was Of such
quality that the woman took it back
and dashed it in the grocer's face,
almost binding him, running his
clothes and decorating his feelings.
Mrs. Ending pleaded in justification
that the butter smelled so strongly
that it set her wild.
Acting on impulse" she said; I
swiped him one with the axle grease.
Part of the butter was in evidence
labeled Exhibit A."
Pass up Exhibit A." said the JUS
tice, who cautiously took a smell.
"Phew," he exclaimed, with look of
disgust. Case is dismissed and prose-
cution pay the costs" Then turning
to the woman, he said:
You can go home, Mrs. Ending,
and the next time any one sells you
butter like that, don't hit him with the
butter-hit him with brick"
