OBJECTIONS ARE REVANPED
Railroads Hash Over Exploded Arguments
to Esoape Taxation.
ALICE TERMINAL TAXES ROB SCHOOLS
simiIe Of sponge In water Bucket,
which Business Men Say f. MIXED
in It's Application, r. OHered
90 Confuse Issue.

YORK, Neb., March Especial -Three
pamphlets issued by the railroads Of Ne
braska opposed to terminal taxation are
being distributed among leading business
men Of the state. Several have been re-
celved in York. The recipients are asked
to use their influence with their repre-
sentatives in the legislature and ask them
20 vote against the terminal taxation bill.
one Of the pamphlets is entitled Ter
minal Taxation and What the Courts Say"
Another folder is entitled: 1.-The Omaha
Scheme" and the object is to work up
feeling against Omaha saying in case this
terminal taxation bill should become
law. Omaha will secure a tax in much
larger proportion on its railroad values
that would nearly do away with taxes in
the school districts in other cities of Ne
braska. There are few who can be made
TO believe or endorse that proposition.
The other pamphlet is entitled THE
Omaha Sponge" 1t starts out
Let bucket represent the railroad as a
unit; I'LL it with water and let the water
represent the taxable value of the
5maSs scheme ss Pace the sponge
the water and you are amazed that
the bucket contains both, water land and
enough to fill the bucket, which was al
ready filled to overhowing. Thus far you
But take the sponge out; and to your
amazement you will find that a large per
cent Of the water has disappeared. Where?
Into the sponge, of course.
That is what the railroads say. 1t Is a
pretty hard matter 20 prove to citizens in
Nebraska that Omaha would absorb nearly
all the taxes paid by railroads by reason
of its being a city with valuable railroad
mileage in the way Of sidetracks, also they
own considerable real estate which has
escaped tax at this time. II the railroads
were compelled to pay municipal taxes on
the actual value of their railroad property
in the city Of York there would be some
increase. Business men of York believe
that railroads should not pay one cent
more tax in proportion TO the value of their
property than any other citizen. If they
understood the terminal tax bill would
make them do this they, would gladly range
themselves on the side of the railroads and
assist them In having their valuation made
in accordance with that of other corpora
dtions and individuals.
It is urged that In the simile OF the
sponge and the water bucket the sponge
should be considered representing the
railroads themselves and the bucket the
pocket Of the common people.
The Commercial club of York is consider
ing what effect the 2-cent passenger rate
will have in York. The business men think
there will be a considerable increase by
reason OF the fare being so small from the
nearby and small towns. In Seward the
argument is made than on account of the
passenger fare being so small Seward and
number of Seward people have been trad
ing in Lincoln and Seward has lost con.
siderable. Some business men claim the
fare is so cheap from York to Lincoln thai
York will have the same experience al

Benevolent Protective Order of Elks No

ming to receive the report OF the COM
mittee which had in charge the building
of an Flks hall. The committee reported
favorably and after the matter was thor

favor OF building an Elk home, the cost
not to exceed $4,000. c. A. McCloud,
Exalted Ruler. offered TO take $1,000
worth of stock and when stock to the
amount of $4,000 was subscribed. he
agreed to take $1,000 more, making this a
gift to the Elks. There is a general
strong sentiment among the Elks in favor
OF building a home and 1t Is believs sd
there will be no trouble to get the money
needed. The hall will probably be two

PRAIRIE FIRE NEAR SUTHERLAND

Range where w. A. Paxton IL Hold
ing Cattle Damaged by Flames.
SUTHERLAND. Neb., March s-(spe-
cial.)-One of the worst prairie fires to
occur in this section for years destroyed
thousands of acres of valuable range for
the ranchmen and homesteaders in the hill
country north of the river. Tuesday after
noon and night The FIRE got its start over
the line in Mcpherson county and, famed
forward by a forty-mile gale, rushed at
race-horse speed in the direction of the
valley of the North Platte river, where
there was considerable hay in stack. Ener-
getic work on the part Of the ranchmen
who at times were forced to seek safety
from the rapidly moving fire, kept the fire
from burning on TO the bottoms. The
burned area is perhaps twenty miles in
length and fifteen wide. and the loss can
not be estimated. AS a result of the de-
struction of the range a bad storm would
probably cause the loss of much stock, as
the supply of hay is short. Among the
ranges burned was that of w. A. Paxton
OF Omaha, who had nearly 5000 head of
cattle north of the river The large Coker
range was also nearly totally destroyed.
CHAPPELL. Mob. March 9.-Cspecial)-
A Union Pacific engine set fire to the prai-
