She contended that now with the
ballot in the hands of women, it is
their duty to see that the trust placed
in them is not betrayed. She did
not believe that enfranchisement of
women is going to bring about any
social revolution, "but it is going to
result in bctterment of conditions"
In dealing with rights that have

VALUATIONS Of
STATE | AR Gel
Than LAST YEAR
Tax Levy Increased Over
1918-NeW State House
Given as One of
Reasons.

Lincoln, Aug. 1.-THE valuation
of the state of Nebraska, according
to figures prepared by Secretary w.
H. Osborne of the state board of
assessment, is approximately $751;
100000. Last year the valuation
was $567,947,9l4. This shows a
gain in valuation of little over
100000.
The mill levy this year is 10 mills,
as against 7.oS mills last year. This
is due to the appropriation for the
state house and the increased ap-
preparation for road building prin-
cipally, and the fact that a large
appropriation had to be made to
cover Deficiencies in the former ad-
ministration, due to the increase in
price of stuff which had to be pur-
chased for the state institutions.
Autos Outrun Assessors.
This year the assessment shows
Isl 1901 automobiles listed, valued at
$lZ,7S3,205, which is one-ffth of the
total value. Last year there were
l57,36S automobile valued at $l0,-
442,652 The state engineers office,
where licenses are issued, shows
that there were $4,000 automobiles
in the state at the time the assess
ment was taken, which would indi-
cate that about 10000 cars were
going SO fast the assessor did not.
see them.
In 1918 there were 445OO.226
acres of land assessed. valued at
$271 ,2S4, l63, which would be 5000
per acre. At the one-hfth valuation
used this would make a real value
of the land of $l,356,420,756 and
$3045 per acre.
This year the number of acres
is given at 45,4lS,446 a gain of
9lS.220 acres, with valuation of
S273,O04 sos, and on the one fifth
assessment would make a real val
uation of 81 369,525,290 This would
make the assessed valuation $603
per acre or real value $30.l5 per
acre, being 50 cents per acre less
value than last year.
Value Of town lots in 1918 was
given as SS4,058,o04 and this year
at $S5455,403.
Bank Assessments Grow.
The assessed value of shares of
stock in national banks is given at
$5,945 ,221 in 1918 and $4.S15,5O9 this,
year. State banks had all assessed
value on stock last year at $5,437.375,
and this year it is given as $685.
317.
Money on hand and on deposit in
banks for 1918 was given as $l3 $780,
l23. while this year it has dropped
off to $12.458736. The loss is due
probably to the fact that a great
deal of money has been put into
Liberty bonds.
However, the report of the secre-
tary CT state banking board shows
that under date of March S, which
would be Is days before the assess
ment was made, there was on hand
deposits subject to check (one-hfth)
of $2S.71S,542.
Capital of grain brokers in 1918
was given as $695,934, while this
year it has increased to $700,984.

at that time it was not considered
respectable for women to fill a posi-

The first woman to practice med

abhorrent was this to members of
her sex that when she passed. they
pulled their skirts aside for fear their
persons might be contaminated by
