Corporations Fight over Assessment.
BEATRICE Neb.. Aug. 7.-CSpecial)-Th
Board Of Equalization put IN the entire day
yesterday hearing the case against the
Beatrice Electric and Gas companies in
regard TO the proper assessment Of their
plants. The gas company contends that
while It spent over Sl0O.0 900 in Beatrice, its
plant is worth orly $1,000. An issue of sso,-
600 in bonds had been authorized, but only
one-fourth Of this amount has been disposed
OF. The gas company has filed a protest
against the assessment Of the electric COM
pany's property. II contends that the cleo
trio company's net earnings will pay inter-
est upon an investment Of $4,000 and asks
that its assessment be increased from $50
200 to $4,000. r. II. Graham. superin-

board by asking that his assessment be in

Councilman McQuinn made a statement Ia
the board and declared that, II It were pos
sible.t he should like to have the whole city
Of Wymore reassessed. He declared the
assessment was very unjust. that some OF
the property was given far below its value.

PROVIDES FOR EMERGENCY
Allows Treasury to Issue Five Hun.
dred Millions In Time Of Strinsency
in Money Market

Washington, March 27,-The AL
drich currency bill was passed by the
Senate today by vote of AZ to 16, in
the main a party vote. Previous to
the taking of the vote on the Aldrich
bill, vote was taken on the Bailey
substitute, authorizing the government
instead of national banks, to issue
emergency circulation for which the
bill provides The vote on the sub
stitute stood AZ TO l3, and this vote
was entirely partisan, even Senator La
Toilette casting his vote with the Re-
publicans.
The bill has been before the Senate
since January 3. The vote was not re-
ported until after p. m, and the gal
leries were practically emptied.
An interesting feature of the pas
sage of the bill was reiteration by Mr..
Aldrich of his promise to bring in a
bill for an investigation of the entire
banking system of the country with a
view to instituting reforms.
AS passed the bill provides for not
more than s5O0,000,000 of emergency
currency to be issued to national banks
upon deposit by them of state county
and municipal bonds to be approved
by the secretary of the treasury. The
currency is to be issued with a view
of securing an equitable distribution
of the currency over the United States
and in accordance with the unimpair-
ed capital and surplus Of banks in each
state. Banks are to pay for this
emergency circulation one-half of one
percent a month during the first four
months 1t is circulated and afterwards
three-quarters of one per cent a
month.
The bill provides that national
banks shall pay not less than one per
cent on government funds deposited
with them.

church has been holding special SER
vices in various homes of the con-
gregation. On Monday evening the
church will begin series of services
in the auditorium lasting one week.

the famous evangelist, who visited
Bennington more than half a century
ago. Remember the hour Is 1880
