Banks Not Permitted =
to Deduct Interest
on Liberty Bonds

Lincoln, Neb., May 19.-Banks in
Nebraska will not be permitted to
deduct interest on Liberty bonds, or
interest on time deposits from their
capital stock assessments.
In view of the fact that the legis-
lature passed a law forbidding banks
to deduct Liberty bonds, and that
the supreme court in the Hamilton
county test case held it illegal for
them to do so, the state board Of
equalization does not believe there
is either law or justification for
allowing the interest on such bonds
to be figured as an offset to capital
stock.
No reason whatever is seen for
deducting interest on time deposits,
which is merely one of many items
that go to make up a banks bust
ness,

BY STATE BOARD
After Corrections Are Made,
Values of Steam Line Prop
critics Remain About
Same as Last Year.

An apparent reduction of more
than 100000 in the gross railroad
assessment of Nebraska as fixed by
the State Board of Equalization and
Assessment Monday morning. in
comparison with a year ago, is ex-
planned by Secretary Osborne as
being due to correction of totals
enormously computed last year. The

state board on the same basis for
1918. The Chalco cutoff on the
Burlington, 12H miles long, is as
sessed at $1,000 per mile, this being
the first time it has been listed as
railroad property.
The aggregate valuation of all the
railroads is placed at 1924, 1872 985.
On the taxable basis of one-fifth

sessed at $56,831 ,997. The gross
assessment for 1918 as given in the
auditors published report was 1884,
I'll 1850.
Only Slight Changes.
No changes were made, except i'll
two or three instances where track
had been Reconstructed with slight
variations of mileage. Secretary
Osborne's figures adopted by the
board, give the Burlington an ap-
parent raise of $4,000 in taxable
value, the Union Pacific, decrease
of $2,133; Northwestern, decrease
of $1,000; St. Joe & Grand Island,
decrease of $500; Rock Island, re-
lection of $11.

of the cases the assessment is really

parent difference being due to er-
