Railroad Valuation is of Wide Scope

Railroad Valuation Is of Wide Scope
Under the direction Of Chas. Hansen
information is being sought from the
12O railroads with their 400 different
taxing districts and from canals also,
tor the revaluation within this State.
The lands to lie revalued are adJoin'
ing the main stem property, and tie
assessed value of every acre and every
foot of land owned by others than rail-
road companies, along both sides OF the
main stem, is being gathered on forms
provided by the expert in charge. 1t
Is impossible to say al present just VIVA
part these records will have in deter
mining the value Of railroad main stem,
US the formula for this purpose has not
been prepared, but they promise to be
an important factor in the work.
The information is being gathered
through the different county tax boards,
they in turn getting it from the asses
s0rs, and the results so far as attained
have been highly satisfactory.
There are 1866 miles of main stem,
SO that when the collection OF theassess-
men,s of land adjoining the main stem
of,the different railroads is completed,
the State will have at its disposal a
record of valuations of 4,730 miles of
property.
The engineering feature of the work
Of reappraisal is interesting. Forty
eight engineers, in gangs of six. are now
scattered through the State, engaged in
measuring and surveying tracks. bridges
and other equipment of the different
railroads. In addition, there is a ma
chinery expert, and in Elizabeth Lalf a
dozen craftsmen Are busily engaged i'll
making drawings of railroad property,
while another force is computing from
figures SEM to the Office by the engi-
peers In the field.

Bryan Killed Again

A notable Stale convention to forma-
late a party platform was held at Grand
Island, Nebraska, on Tuesday, when
the question of county option was the
issue.
William J. Bryan has been for years
strong advocate of the initiative and
referendum, that is, allowing the people
10 vote directly for or against what
should lie law, like they do when a State
constitution Is adopted. 1t is pure
democratic principles. the same as local
option on the liquor question.
Because Mr.. Bryan is a teetotaler,
and has been an optionist from principle
without particular reference to the liquor
question whicL this principle touches,
he has never had the support of the
organized liquor interests of the country,
which defeated him in Ohio and IIdi-
u two years ago, but gave these State
governments to the democrats.
Governor Shallenberger refused to
call the Nebraska legislature into extra
session to enact a general referendum
Law, Notwithstanding a majority of the
legislature favored it. So the issue of
county option came up. Mr. Bryan
favored the county option plank which
was defeated in the State convention by
a vote 465 TO 1914.
All who have disagreed from his
views are greatly pleased that a MAORI
ty in his own State have voted against
lis view for the first time n twenty
years and hope that will be the emf of
him. But. like the cat, he has come
rack 80 many times that those who have
faith in his leadership do not despair.
On the local option question MI. Bryan
hal the following to say in last weeks
Commoner:
''If a nan tell you that he is opposed
to county option, ask him why he OBJ
ects to allowing the people of a county
to vote on the liquor question If he
says be is afraid his own county will go
dry, ask him whether it is his own thirst
Or his 81 mpatby for others who are
thirsty that makes him willing to deny
TO the people the right to vote. If a
man opposes county option because he
is afraid his county will go dry he con-
tesses that he is interested in defeating
The will of the majority of his county
TN this subject. But suppose he says
lie is not afraid of his county going dry?
What Is bis at iiude ilei.? 1t is that
he is not content to have saloons in hi
W county but insis s upon t0Ycil G
them upon counties who do not want
them. Isn't This attempting too much?
The MAI who wants a saloO near
hlm-but not too near-mertly that he
may have a place to drink ought to be
content with county option. The Sd.
loon is on the retreat; it has enough to
do to get a license anywhere-it will
overtax its strength if it tries 10 go
everywhere.
s'The man who opposes county op-
poses county option will have to meet
the question: Are you fighting for
SALOONS because you want them in your
county OF because you want to compel
equities to permit saloons against the
will of the people? Is it self interest or
interference-which?

"'What is your name2' / asked him.
"'None Of your business was the an

tion, in a surly sort of way, that he was

was determined / would do 1t II it took q

Al American Iumbernan nearby spoke

1t pretty hot for you. He can ask me all
the questions he wants to. and I'll answer

Lost Opportunity.
T save a row, i then went about fin
fishing up the enumerations of the others,
intending then. If the Canadian was still
obstinate, to put him under arrest and
take him to town, but he a seen. a light
in the meanwhile, and when I got around
to him again he had lost his bravado and.
came through like a little man. So l lost
an opportunity to distinguish myself. -.
Really the most thrilling experience I
had that summer month was in crossing
a dam of logs in a stream. where they
were being neld to float down in a bunch
later on. was leaving one camp and go-.
ing to another. and a logger had vOlun-s
teered to guide me through the forest to
the next clearing. When we started to.
cross the dam he offered to take my pack
because he was more experienced in that
sort of travel than I, and had provided
me with a long staff such as lumbermen
use, but he still mad one advantage over
spikes in his shoes. g
W. started across the logs, he IN the
lead, and presently both my feet slipped
out from under me at once and l felt
down into the water, armpits high, be-
tween two lots. Fortunately my. staff
came down across the logs n supported
me, and I was able to get out none tho.
worse for the escapade, except that my
clothing was wet and my watch filled
with water. But the logger was greatly
alarmed.
81 thought you were a goner,' HI said,
If you had ever gone clear under I would
never have seen you again. That water
is 20 feet Deep !
"And he was right. If I had gone below
tie logs 1 would nave stayed there.
F, II got through the months work wnh-,
out any more serious mishap. and went
back to my regular occupation hale and
hearty, with an appetite like a wolf and
feeling quite a new and bigger man; and
I got a particular compliment from the
supervisor for carrying on the work. I
had early in the season been notified that
the pay for the job would be S a day In
stead OF "A, on account of the hazardous
nature Of the undertaking."

some of his cousins left q carpenters

to make and mend furniture and the

old one in the III of Hohenzollern

The Surgeons Hand.

HE maketh the blind to see.''
Beneath his wrist there stirs a sungod's
thought,
A strong magnetic current swiftly flows
Through palm and fingertip, and power
bestows
On tiny blade OF steel with promise
fraught.
Up toward the eye the charged blade is
brought,
Marble. moonlit, the arched cornea
shows,
The iris, lying lakelike in repose,
And the deep pupil where the soul is
caught.
Let there b light he says-"Let there
be light"
And. solemn as the sign Of cross, the
hand
Performs the miracle. At that command
The pulsing thought leaps toward the
blind mans night.
Symbolic, like a doves fight to its nest,
The haloed nan drops down and is at
rest.

Man who ran" Iowa Town.

Writing in Harper's Weekly, Robert
sloss describes how J. W. Pilkington
ran" the town OF Dexter. Ia. for seven
months. What have YOU got a town
for? Pilkington challenged IA representa-
tive merchants and bankers when they
first gathered to meet him. To live in.
OF course they replied. What do YOU
want to live in 1t for?' asked Pilkineton.
TO make a living they finally agreed.
And supplemented Pilkfngton, Just as
good a living as you honestly can.'" That
was Pilkington's philosophy. He took
charge OF the stores. by contract. He
opened a school for statesmen. He sent
down an expert window dresser. He Of
fered prizes for the best kept lawns. and
stimulated he lawn mower industry.
Such results are but typical of Pilking-
toms differential dictatorship. He never
lost a chance of putting something definite
up to Dexter"
