Tho paid lobbyists and hired tax
agents of the Nebraska railroads, who
are opposing terminal taxation for the
purpose Of enabling the roads to con-
tinue to shirk their city taxes, have
taken a new tack. They started out
by declaring that terminal taxation
would merely divert to the cities taxes
now PAID throughout the state, but
when cornered were compelled to ad-
NIT that no county. school district,
township or road district would lose
cent Of roilroad taxes now enjoyed,
but that. on the contrary, the railroads
would he compelled to pay city taxes
on their terminal property over and
above what they are now paying on
that property under pretense of dis
triDutioh.
Having failed to hold their ground
on this point, the railroad spokesman
have faced about. They are endeav-
orihe to prejudice legislative members
by asserting that the proposed termi-
nal taxation for city and village pur-
poses is only a step toward breaking
down the unit system of assessing
railroads for state and county pur-
poses. and that to protect the unit
system OF assessment no deviation
must be allowed with reference to the
taxation of railroad property within
the corporate limits of cities and viii
lagos.
A moments reflection by any intel
ligent man will show how ridiculous
this contention Is. Even II the cities
which might possibly gain by terminal
taxation wanted to attack the unit
system as applied to state and county
taxation, they could not for the reason
that their representation in the legis-
lature is but a fraction of the mem
bership of that body and by no posi-
bllity could they control a majority
for any proposition not absolutely fair
to every part of the state.
The fact is. the railroad hirelings
are becoming desperate through ex-
posture of their frauds and receptions.
Their opposition to terminal taxation
is grounded solely on a desire to save
their corporate masters from paying
city taxes justly due from them and to
make a showing that will convince
their employers that they are still
adert at legislative smooth work, and
that their usefulness as lobbyists is
not yet at an end.

has cost the taxpayers in the past It
would destroy the sherif's monopoly
of 'se jail kitchen and require him, IL
he is to continue as caterer. to do It
on the score OF being the lowest bid
der.
The bill. however, will have the
strenuous opposition Of the present
sheriff, who will be loath to let go of
this most lucrative perquisite of his
office. His main contention will be
that, being elected as a republican, hc
should not be deprived by a repub-
lican legislature of such good thing
as is Afforded by the Jail feeding bust
ness. This is the same argument that
was urged when the bill was up to
stop the fee graft of the clerk of the
district court. There is no assurance,
however, that the Office of sheriff In
Douglas county will be filled perpetu-
ally by a republican, but whether
filled by a republican or democrat,
the sheriff should be held to definite
compensation and the jail feeding
handled on a business basis under
contract.
We cannot see how any one in the
legislature can defend and champion
this graft, unless there we're some
thing in It for him as we'll as for the
sheriff.

RAILROAD PROSPERITY.
Gross Earnings for Last Year show n
Tremendous Increase.


New York Financial Chronicle.
The year 1906 adds another to the long
series OF years recording large and con-
tlnuous gains in railroad earnings. And.
as II happens. the latest year in the magni-
tude of its further increase surpasses all
It's predecessors, furnishing a fitting climax
to the series. The amount of the improve
ment In gross revenues would Itself be sure
to attract attention. but. added to the note
worthy gains of previous years, It fur
nishes further testimony TO the marvellous
Industrial expansion experienced IN this
country during the last decade, to which
the railroads themselves have so largely
contributed and in which they have been
the most important single agency.
Our tables, just as they stand show an
increase for the twelve months Of S22L
o62, 452. The totals are OF huge proportions,
the aggregate for 1906 being s213l .3O6,69s
and for 1906 $780,. 247. And yet this
does not cover absolutely the whole rail-
road system OF the country. The mileage
represented, embracing all the roads in
the country from which we have been able
to procure returns is 1861 miles. As
there we're probably about 10000 to 2l5,0O0
miles of road in operation during the
twelve months. this leaves 5000 to $4,000
miles unrepresented in our tables. The
earnings for much OF this mileage Il will
not be possible to get at all for the calen-
dar year, and the returns for the rest will
not be available for some time to come.
We should judge that II we could get re-
suits to cover the whole railroad system
OF the country the increase for the twelve
months would be In the neighborhood of
800, 100000. Of which S135,0OOO0O was made
in the first six months and s1OS, 10000 in
the last six months.
Let the reader ponder we'll what such
an addition-almost a quarter OF thou
sand million dollars-means. Let him re-
call further that in 1906 we put the increase
for the full mileage at $3.50. 10000 and that
in the same way we estimated the increase
for 1904 at S10.0O0.O00. Furthermore. that
previously we computed the gain for 1903
at $40 10000. for 1902 at sos OOl.Oo0 for 1911
at $155.0o0,OO0 for 1900 at s19OC00.0O0 for 1899
at $l4O,0O0000. for 1888 at $90o0o.0oO and for
1897 at $75.O00,000 II will be seen that we
have here an aggregate Improvement for the
ten years from 1896 to 1906 In the prudigious
sum of S1s325, 10000 In other words agRre-
gate gross earnings of United States rail-
roads for 1906 were 31.325. 900 larger than
they had been in 1896. the year Of trade
prostraticn and Of the, silver campaign.
