LINCOLN, May 4-tSpecial)-If one
certain resident Of Thayer county had
known how much trouble he could have
saved himself. the assessor of his county
and Henry Seymour, secretary Of the
state Board Of Equalization, he would
have shipped his cattle one day earlier
and paid off what he owend on them
before April l, the date on which the
personal property assessment is made.
However, he shipped his stock the last
day of March and sold them on the
South Omaha market the first day of
April IL they are assessed as cattle he
is entitled under the law to no deduction
for what he owed and the same is true
If the assessment is made of money, but
II the money is treated as an account he
is entitled TO a deduction for the amount
he owed under the law passed for the
benefit of merchants carrying heavy
stocks of goods for which they owed on
large part. Mr.. Seymour has turned
the question over to the attorney general
to solve.
Labor Commissioner Guye feels that
he has made some Roadway in settling on
farms the colony of Jews. who desired
10 leave Chicago and become Nebraska
farmers. One result not at first antici-
psted was the removal of about forty
families on this nationality from Ne
braska towns to Kinkaid homesteads In
Grant county. He has also succeeded
in getting the members of the Chicago
colony In consultation with a large Ne
braska landholder, who is willing to sell
and also TO erect houses and stock farms
for them, but the Chicago people do
not have enough capital to make the
initial payment he desires. He has,
however. made them a proposition to put
up buildings, furnish implements and
stock for the farms and let the colonists
work the land on percentage basis until
they accumulate enough money to make
a substantial initial payment on the
land. There is a strong prospect this
scheme will work out as there is every
reason to believe the Jewish Colonization
society will aid these people IL they
demonstrate they can make a living on
the farm and ultimately pay for the land |
Mr.. Guye is also hopeful of locating the |
Russian colonists, whose agent wrote |
