Why doesn't the world-Herald show a
comparative statement of the tax situation
In Douglas county as between the private
land owners and the railroads. 1t has
been distorting figures from various coun-
ties in it's mud-slinging campaign Of trying
to show that the republican administra-
tons in Nebraska have permitted the rail-
roads to escape higher taxes, while i'm
posing greater burdens upon the farmer.
All of which the records refute.
Here is the situation in Douglas county,
which the World-Herald has s~tudiously
evaded:
state board returns on railroads
lot 1874 ", rs, 12C
State board returns on railroads
Tor lSS 1858, 25S
Increase. 1855
But this increase is only a small part OF
that made on railroad property for the year
1908 by a republican administration. That
is simply on railroad property exclusive Of
the terminals, which for many years es-
capped all taxation as a result Of the law
enacted from the bill introduced into the
senate by Ed Howell, the democrat who is
now before the people asking to be sent
back to the state senate.
Rest of the story.
ASAN 10 NAC INbI VI lIt SlOIJs
Return on terminals In Douglas
county ,2S0, Ale
Added to the state boards return on
other railroad property for 19O8-$1, SOS, 253-
this gives a total Of $3.S3S, $50. and repre-
sents an increase of 1859, 949, which the
state board under a republican administra-
ton placed upon the railroad valuation in
Douglas county, as compared with the
figures of 1904.
Now, what is the case with reference to
agricultural land valuations and taxes? In
1904 the land in Douglas county was as
sessed at So. Sc per acre. In 1908 the state
board made a return Of $12.57 per acre, a
difference IN favor Of the land owner OF
20 cents per acre.
These figures brought forth by County
Assessor Shriver are accessible to the
World-Herald and have been throughout
the campaign. Why has Mr.. Hitchcock,
in his mud-slinging campaign, not gone
over to the court house and dug them upY
County Assessor Shriver says he would be
glad to furnish them to him or any of his
men.
Lest We forget, lest we forget" once
more let it be stated that the reason Omaha
could not levy on these valuable railroad
terminals, the most valuable property in
Douglas county, long years before was
simply because of the presence at Lincoln
of Ed Howell and such men who fought
the measure through the legislature that
exempted from taxation this very property.
And this same Ed Howell is the man for
whom Gilbert Nj. Hitchcock, congressman
editor and candidate for reelection, SKIS
the voters and taxpayers Of Douglas county
to vote.
Why?

which 1 have received regarding Guy

be the proper one in every way"
Mr.. Emerson is net q bipartisan.
He is a dyed in the-wool Republican.

of practical experience in his profess

Such is the man who has been select

portant Office in City Hall, Boston, in
power and patronage next to that of
Mayor His salary is $500 a year.
Laborers in the sewer department
vouch for Emerson as a man who does
things. In speaking of Mr.. Emerson
an old laborer who worked in the
trenches of Boston when Mr.. Emerson
was superintendent of sewers, under
Mayor Hart said: 'Mr. Emerson
worked with his men. He was not
afraid of soiling his hands by working
either He did not stay in his office
and discuss theories. l have seen him
| come to job in a fine suit of clothes,
put on a pair of hip rubber boots and
a coat and walk through the slimest
sewer you ever saw for a mile, to ex-
anime it's condition and find out for
himself what needed to be done
Mr. Emerson lives at 4 Brewer

MIR. Emerson has been interested in
militia affairs, at one time being a
