DISTRIBUTES RAISE
ALL OYER THE LINES
State Board of Equalization Makes
Change in Valuation of
Railroads.
BECKMANN EXPLAINS HIS VOTE
CFrom a staff corr.spondsnt.)

AHIuh bNhlA NniENHhVhANhAfg
Lincoln, June Especial 1.-The
State Board of Equalization and as
sessment jigged back on their action
last Monday in agreeing to raise the
assessment on the railroads only to
cover main lines, and this morning
in a short session agreed on a raise
OF $l,0l6,59l which will be distributed
over all lines. This is a raise OF about
81 per cent
This is practically a victory for
Land Commissioner Fred Beckmann
and State Treasurer Hall who con-
tended at the time that while they
we're in favor OF raise they thought
that it was unfair to assess the main
lines only but that the raise should
be equally made on all lines so that
all counties would benefit, and more
equal dlstributation of taxation made.
A showing was made by Treasurer
Hall this morning that by the original
motion Of the board carried Monday,
thirty-three counties would not share
in the benefits of the raise and so the
change was made.
Beekmann Explains Vote.
Land Commissioner Beckmann de-
sired to explain his vote which was
done as follows:
u would like to explain my vote.
While ! am in favor that the assess
ment of the various railroads in Ne
braska should be raised according to
the Improvements they have made
since the last agsessment | helieve
the board should ascertain what
amount Of Improvements each rail
road has made and the raise in as
sessment should be made according
y and said assessment should be
levied as so much per mile on each
road. But as the board is opposed to
said way of assessing, and whereas
it seems that all the board is in favor
of raising the assessment according
TO the number of miles of main line
each road has. Therefore, ! vote yes"

Joseph a. Pipal, sends ou the sum
mons for the o. A. c. team to report
for practice on the campus Septem-
Der II ne Will have the assurance
OF one man only. cole who was made
guard last season, on last years var.
sity team, who will report
The most serious factor in depict
ing the team was the unusually
large number OF varsity players who
were graduated last spring. Two
members OF the team have married
and settled down to the domestic life,
some have played the full four years
allowed by college conference rules,
and others have engaged in work oI
business Tor themselves. Cole has
been working in lumber camp at
Mill City. He is now at san Diego
representing the Multnomah Athletic
Club and is expected to report in eN-
cellent condition.
A number OF last years second
string men, some of them said by
the coach to be excellent material
have announced that they will report
for practice whenever the call
made. Some OF these are thought by
the coaches to be the equal of the
former players whom they replace
except that they have not had the
seasoning and practice.
1t is apparent that the coaches n
charge Of the football this season are
putting a good deal of confidence in
the freshmen who may report \

excludes the freshmen from playing
in the Washington University and
the oregon University games, but IN

said. "On the other side Of the page
stands No. 80, Amount allowed to
cover depletion in case of mines and
oil wells understand, and you could
take 1t from me, Birsky, a smart bust
ness man like Rockafellar, with all the
expert bookke epers he's got, would
easy fill out No. 30 in such a way that
them Income Tax people couldn't
prove otherwise but what they owed
AIr. Rockafellar $1S9. $50 3d.
you're right, zapp," Birsky said,
''and anyhow, Zapp, all he's got to do
inclusive, is to put up the price of
gasolene couple of cents a gallon
HE done that already, Birsky,"
Zapp said. SIN fact, Birsky, he put
i up SO high thai they appointed
committee of Congressman to investi-
gate it; and the evidence shows that
wher Mr.. Rockafellar started to fill
out No. II, Total amount derived from
salaries and wages understand, he
discovered that under the decision Of
the United States Supreme Court he
was 1884 presidents of 1884 COM
panies which used to was the Standard
Oil Company of New Jersey, y'under-
stand, and that he got 1884 salaries
amounting to $35, 1924, $50. 5000, under
stand me. He then figured out the in
come tax on it to be equivalent to an
increase of &c on a gallon gasolene in
New York, Pennsylvania, AIassachu-
sets and Illinois, and done so immedf-
ately. Afterwards Michigan, Ohio and
New Jersey was added when he fig
red out the income tax on No. 16, To-
tai amount derived from interest on
notes, mortgages, bank deposits and
securities, other than reported on lines
II and TO- understand, and when he
got down to No. %, Total amount de-
rived from other sources not enumerat-
ed above y'understand, and the chief
bookkeeper showed him the figures,
understand me, after they had loosened
his collar, famed him and given him
smelling salts, he raised his head and,
summoning all his strength, he whis-
pered a telegram to raise gasOlene ten
cents a gallon throughout the whole
United States. Great Britain and Ire
land, France, Germany and the West
Indian Islands; and that's the way it
happened, Birsky."
He's only fooling himself at that"
Birsky commented, because In 1917
when it comes time to fix up his in
come tax return again, he's got staring
him In the face all them profits which
he would got to enter up under No.
II, Total amount derived from bust
ness, trade, commerce or sales or deal
ings In property, whether real or per
sonal,' y'understand I; and when he sees
what an income tax he's got to pay on
it, Zapp, he'll kick himself that he didn't
reduce the price of gasoIene instead OF
| raising 1t. I tell you, Zapp, money
amt everything after all. It used to
be considered that a Teller with an
income of $4,000 a year was a lucky
man, but nowadays when he's got TO
