this state. He argued also that the board
should value the property strictly on what
the property is worth and on the same
basis its freight rates hould be fixed.
After deducting the outside holdings, he
said his own company was capitalized on
a net valuation OF SIS, $40 a mile, market
value. In Nebraska he said the boar dhad
fixed the actual value of the main line at
s107, 500 a mile, and the branch lines at
$500 a mile.
Mr.. ~Scribner's Comparisons.
In comparison with this valuation in Ne
braska, Mr.. Scribner filed the following,
showing the value of other roads in other
states:
Iowa-Burlington main line, 10000 per
mile, all double tracked; Chicago a. North
western main line, se2,sOo per mile; Chicago,
Island main line, $45, 200 per mile.
Illinois-Burlington, $40 miles, Of which
20S miles is double tracked, actual valuation
per mile, $47,3 66; Northwestern. 467 miles.
Of which 26 miles is double tracked, actual
valuation per mile, 4 1885.

value 100000 per mile.

line IN Nebraska, actual value $107 500 per
mile; Union Pacific and Omaha & Repub-
lican Valley, 1888 miles, actual value $4,000
per mile.
Mr.. Scribner argued that other property

TAX LAWYERS GET HEARING

Tax Commissioners Make Some Inter-

LINCOLN, May 14-(Special) 1.-THE State

Of Tax Commissioner A. W Scribner of
the Union Pacific and T. A. Folleys of the
Omaha & Minneapolis railroads. Both tax

20 prove to the board that their roads

other property in the state, an dthe Union

was assessed out of proportion to other
roads In other states.

Dy POlieys.
Mr.. Polleys discussed at length the vari-
Gus methods of arriving at the valuation
of a railroad. His statement closed with
the following recapitulation:
ID AS computed by the formula de-
scribed for the capitalization of gross earn
ings, net earnings and maintenance charges
per mile, the average commercial value in
1903 of all the railroads of the United
States Cover 10000 miles) is about $4,000
~ As computed by the same formula
the average commercial value in 1909 Of
the 10000 miles OF railroad comprised In
the seven railway systems whose lines
partly lie in Nebraska is So. GAP per mile.
go As computed by the same formula
the average commercial value Of the entire
Omaha railway system In 1903 is S45, 232 per
mile.
ca Based upon a Joint consideration of
relative track density and relative gross
earning power per mile, the railroad sys-
TEN of the entire state of Nebraska (com-
pTising something more than 6,OOO miles, is
fairly worth per mile in 1909 about 81. 10
per cent of the average commercial value
per mile of the entire 10000 miles of rail-
road contained in the seven systems whose
lilo per cent of $52,6 42 per mile, which
PRODUCES $I,9 57 per mile as the fair market
value of the entire railroad system of Ne
braska in 1903.
90 Based upon a similar consideration
OF relative track density and relative gross
earning power per mile, that portion OF the
Omdna system which lies in Nebraska
cannot be fairly said to nave a commercial
value in 1903 of more than SO of the average
commercial value per mile of the entire
that is to say SO per cent OF $45,-
22 or $37 ,54z per mile.
90 The commercial value per mile in
1903 OF the lines of the Omaha system in
Nebraska N37,542) bears a ratio of only
fSS per cent to the average commercial
value of the entire railroad system of the
state, $f7, e7 per mile. Justice requires tina
our assessed value should be proportion
ately no higher than our commercial value
and yet. In 1905, the actual value per mile
placed by this board upon our Nebraska
lines was 93.H per cent Of the average per
mile for the entire railroad system OF the
state.
0 BY no possible method OF railway
valuation, based upon facts and either
recognized In practice or sanctioned by
reason, can the Nebraska lines of the
Omaha system he fairly declared to be
worth today as much as the 81. 40 per mile
at which they were valued last year by
this board. The laws OF Nebraska do not
contemplate nor are they meant to permit
the assessment for taxation OF the prop
erty of any individual or corporation within
the borders of the state at more than it's
full market value. The refusal of this
board TO this year grant a material re-
ductiUn in the assessed value OF the Omaha
property in Nebraska will be,
not taxation, but c~Cnfiscation.
