Can you comprehend this enormous sum? It is greater than the annual combined sales of the livestock and minor products of the county. It Is greater thau the annual profits up on the county's entire wheat crop. JGfi3,000 Is a princely sum. A property that will return that mu h Income" In a single year Is worth IS.322.500. The O.

Compared with lan- owned as investment this road even now assessed far too lands which I have valued at JG.OoO ler quarter and assessed at $2,000 per quarter will not lease for more than $6 per acre for each crop, or $960 "jier quarter. This rental Ik paid once In two years which gives $4S0 gross annually. It requires eight and one-third quarters of this land to yield $4,000. the net income of one mile of railroad last year. The assessment of $2,000 per quarter would amount to S1C.CG6 upon the naked land alone, leaving out the Im provements and special school tar. Take 17 mills upon this -valuation and you have $283.32 against the total net tax of only $243.03 upon one mile of railroad. Do you question the logic of this illustration? Can any man question It? Can auy court In ie land dis regard it? Truth Is mightier than cunning. It Is mightier than money. Xo assessor, no board of equaliza tion, no court can long suppress It. In a fair contest with error, it shall 1 prevail. If you stand by your guns railroad people will see the folly of their contention and accept the in j evitable. For I know and you know ; liefnrr It.
