Tax Commissioner Very Sore at
State Board Of Equalization.
ADDITIONAL CUT IN RAIL VALUE
Declares that he Was Unable Go
Attend Hearing when Called
Because was Sitting on CITY
BOARD OF Equalization.

Tax Commissioner ]. NJ Fitzgerald OF
South Omaha is wrathy over the perform
sncos OF Secretary Henry Seymour aud
the state Board OF Equalization. II
seems that the board reduces Fitzgerald's
estimates or assessments on the railroad
property OF South omaha every year.
This year. as usual, tho assessment was
reduced the figures being reduced t2SS,Oo
under Fitzgerald's figures.
Yesterday he received letter from
Secretary Seymour stating that through
a mistake OF oversight the board had
forgotten to notify Fitzgerald that an
additional reduction OF Sst,415 had been
made on the South Omaha property Of
the Missouri Pacific rRilroad
To say that Fitzgerald Is mad Is TO
compare spring zephyr to a roaring
blast Of the north. lie says things about
the state Board Of Equalization that do
not look we'll in print, lie says that
when It comes TO hearing on the railroad
property he WAS given no formal notice
Someone called him up on tho telephone
from Lincoln and told him TO hurry down
before the board the next morning.
At the time Fitzgerald was sitting on
the City Board OF Equalization. He says
he could have arranged the matter " he
had been given a weeks notice or few
days at least. lie says he explained that
he was unable to go at the time and also
told the state board representative that
1T makes no difference what have to
say on tho railroad property here the
state board pays no attention to II. 1t
has at least the railroads side"

Legend of the Peaoook's Feathers.

Legend of the Peacock's Feathers.
 The i'll fortune said co fall upon the owners of peacocks and the wearers of peacock feathers is accounted for by an oriental legend.
 The story runs after this fashion: When God created the peacock the seven deadly sins were stirred with bitter jealousy and complained loudly that the bird should be more beautiful than they.
 You are quite right" the Creator answered. "I have been unjust. for l have already given you too much. You should be us black as the night that cOnceals you" Whereupon he plucked out the green eye of Jealousy, the vel. low eye of envy and the red eye of murder and added them to the birds feathers. So the blind sins are ever pursuing the bird to regain their eyes. and that is the reason that when men or women adorn themselves with tho feathers misfortune dogs their foot. steps.
