| With the future rests the determina-
ton Of his rank among the eight
chief justices of history for ability and
accomplishments.
Before Grover Cleveland sent his
name to the senate on April 30, 1888,
for confirmation as chief justice, he
was practically unknown except to
members of the legal profession. In
! Maine, where he was born on Febru-
airy II, 1888, he had been known as
well-behaved, rather scholarly lad.
He had gone to Bowdoin college, and,
incidentally, there won most of the
prizes for elocution. He had gone
down to Harvard law school for one
year.
His Great Argument.
From 1856 to 1888 he lived in Chi
cago, but attracted little attention out
side his immediate circle of friends
and associates at the bar until he
undertook the defense of Bishop
Cheney on charge of heresy. His
knowledge of ecclesiastical history
and procedure astonished those who
conducted the case, and his argument
of the cause of the bishop before the
supreme court of Illinois is referred to
still as forensic effort seldom if ever
surpassed in that court.
He was a delegate to the national
conventions of the Democratic party
In 1864, 1872, 1876 and 1880.
The nomination of Mr.. Fuller, then
tifty-five years of age, was followed by
memorable contest in the senate
The judiciary committee. with it's
Republican majority, to which the
nomination was sent April 80, held
up the appointment until July TO-
Then the committee reported it to the
senate without recommendation.
For three hours that body debated
IN executive session whether to con-
firm or reject the nomination. The
attack on Mr.. Fuller was led by Sena-
tors Edmunds, Evarts and Stewart
Senators Cullom and Farwell defend
ed him.
The reports that he had been a
"copperhead" during the Civil war
and that he did not possess the re-
quisite ability as a lawyer were gone
over
His Great Victory.
Finally, by vote of Al to 20. his
nomination was confirmed.
Since that day the entire court as
it then existed has passed away with
the single exception of Justice Har-
Ian. OF those prominent in the fight
over his confirmation only Senator
Cullom remains, and President Cleve-
land, who thus honored the Illinois
lawyer, has thus gone to his grave.
Throughout his service Chief Jus.
tice Fuller was noted for the dignity
with which he filled the position. He
preserved that manner on the bench
or Off
Although small of stature, not more
than five feet seven inches, his wealth
of silvery hair and classic features
made him commanding figure wher-
ever he appeared.

JUDGE SILAS A. HOL COMB MAKES A
STATEMENT.

this proposition, if adopted by the
voters, can be made for but one year
that is the year 1910 and must be
made on the same valuation as the
levies are made for State, County
School District and other purposes
There can be no such thing undel
the law as a levy on the actual
value of the taxable property in the
County. There is no law providing
for such levy, and no authority
can be found within the statue for
it, The taxable property spoken
OF in the proposition is property in
the County subject to taxation and
taxed at one fifth it's actual value
There can be no two sides to this
question. Section II of Chapter II
provides specifically that property
not exempt shall be valued at it's
actual value, which shall be entered
opposite each item and shall be as.
sessed at 20 per cent of such actual
value. SutH dSSGSStu value Sllull Dt
entered in a separate column opposite
each item and shall be taken and
considered as the taxable value OF
such property and the value ut which
1t shall be listed and upon which the
levy shall be made" The levy con.
templated in the proposition men.
TONED will be arrived at from the
assessments as made by the County
Assessors at one fifth of the actual
value they find the property assess
ed to bear and then as equalized by
the County Board of Equalization
which value when so ascertained will
and must be taken as a basis for any
and all levies made by the County
Supervisors whether it be fol
County purposes, to build a Court
House or for any other purpose.
Respectfully,
Silas A. Holcomb
Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1910-02-17
THE LAW LIMITS THE LEVY AND BASES
THE VALUATION.
County Board Cannot Change II.

if the actual valuation be $4,000
the taxable valuation is but
10000. There is no such thing
as a taxable valuation for one
thing or purpose, and another
taxable valuation for some other
purpose, that is an impossibil-
ity.
The opinion of Judge S. A..
Holcomb is absolutely conclusive
Of the question. 1t is almost
impossible for the board to do
thing not permitted to be done
by the law above set out; and the
county board, in order to be fair,
and to avoid any possibility of
being charged with unfairness, +,
confined the levy to one year,
and that the year 1910; the board
cannot, by any pretext, subter-
fuge, adroitness or anything else,
go beyond the levy of five mills
on the taxable valuation for the
year 1910, and the amount
which will be realized by virtue
of that levy will approximate
$35, 100000.
Respectfully yours,

County Attorney.
