GRAND ISLAND. Neb., March 15.-(Spe-
cial )-The Grand Island Independent con-
tains the following editorial on the terminal
tax bill now pending in the legislatures
"AIl accounts seem. TO agree 10 the fact
that the railroads. have been pulling every

even more deeply into the facts IN the

1.-THE terminal tax bill is designed to let
villages and cities tax the railroad com
panies on their property in such villages
for municipal purposes, instead of taking
the average value per mile Of the road
throughout the state. The railroad side of
the controversy is based upon the theory
that It would decrease the amounts received
by many towns and villages. And they are,
therefore. opposed 10 It. They have con-
tended that It would not increase their
taxes-only shift them from the smaller
villages and cities to the larger cities.
Some go so far as to declare that they
would only help Omaha and possibly Lin
colin.

As to whether It would increase the mu-
nicipal taxes here. He believes 1t Is a

that there was no doubt Of a material ben

that they will stand firmly to their pledges
The Omaha Bee is authority for the state

with the railroad attorneys. and this fact
is the subject, likewise, of general criti-
cism. But there is, perhaps, in his case
not a violation of any pledge in the matter
but rather, perhaps, the contrary both as
