The board next took up the question
of special levies to be made for school
districts within the county of Gem,
and examined the several certificates
on file in the office of the county audi
tor requiring such levies, and the
statements of the assessed valuations
of the taxable property for the year
1915 in each of such districts within
the county. Whereupon the board
passed the following resolution:

Fixing Real Estate Values.

The question Of how to fix values Of property
OF various kinds that It may be equally and
justly assessed for the purpose Of taxation is al
ways before the people 1t has just been pre-
scented in the concrete form to the convention OF
county commissioners at Grand Island, through
a request from the state board Of assessment that
the counties arrange to cooperate with the state
board in the determination Of real estate values
The convention voted down the proposition,
which means that the present rather involved
and generally unsatisfactory method OF valuing
lands will be continued
In principle the Nebraska law is good. In
practice It has produced such discrepancies be
tween the several counties as to present a most
perplexing problem to the state board which is
required to equalize the assessment rate. Sew
eral attempts have been made in recent years so
to revise the revenue laws that they would OPP
crate more exactly in distributing the burdens OF
taxation. Each OF these efforts has ended in
legislation that has increased rather than dimin-
ished the difficulty Of securing the end in view.
II ought not to be impossible to reach a basis
for fair and equitable valuation but as long as
the situation is continued In it's present form,
that long the inequalities will be apparent. Ne
hard and fast rule can be laid down for valuing
land anywhere, and least Of all in Nebraska,
where conditions on which values must rest
cover So wide range Intelligent cooperation
between the taxing authorities OF the several d.
visions OF the state, however. should bring about
q better arrangement. The county commission
ers well could have afforded to devise some plan
to this end.

Settling a Silly Rnmor.

Senator John Mates of otoe county in a
public statement gives information that should
definitely settle a silly rumor set afloat by a
Lincoln paper. II was alleged that the German
American alliance in Nebraska proposed enter
ing the political field with a full set OF candi-
dates, in order that It might wreak its vengeance
on President Wilson and his adherents. This
statement is fatty denied by Senator Mates,
who says: The State alliance of Nebraska Is
perfectly non-political and independent in poll
tics"

support for their party by alleging lack Of 10y

out that our forelgn-born citizens generally are
loyal to this government, and staunch in their
support of American institutions ANY move

advantage through raising prejudice against

ceive the rebuke il deserves. A cause which re-
quires such support merits only defeat

Immigration in War Time.

The Department of Labor reports that immi-
grafton for the last year fell below any total
recorded for longer than a score OF years. This
is not at all surprising state of affairs. Euro
pean countries. from which great part OF our
immigration comes. are at present engaged in
feeding to the cannons the men who ordinarily
would come to this country to engage in indus
try. The most direct effect OF this state of af-
fairs will be to Increase the opportunity for en-
ployment Of those who are here With more GER
tainty of work and better wages. q reduction in
the misery attendant upon unemployment will
be noted. Industrial activity in this country at
present is such as must reduce the number OF
unemployed TO very low mark. Thus the fall
ing off in immigration will result in a better
distribution of the prosperity attendant upon the
war conditions at home
