A careful study Of the foregoing
table viii show the property owners
and tax payers that he is not receiv-
ing the equalization that is justly due
the individual.
The matter Of railroad values as
compared with Nebraska Wyoming is
assessing railroads for less than 80
per cent of Nebraska values. The
same applies to other public utilities
with the exception of all iovai power
plants the value of which, has been
greatly increased by the state board.
With the Increase in taxable value OF
local piats It means that they will no
longer be able to return the S per cent
Justly due the stockholders without
an increase in returns which in turn
falls upon the local tax payer and
business man as a burden OF indirect
taxation. 1t is a principal of taxa
ton that all taxes shall be equal
