As Bob Ripley would say, "Believe it or not . . enougn money to build three more state capitol buildings like Nebraska's present one in every respect, is lying around in the form - - . . a or delinquent taxes, ui which a part is due from Cass county taxpayers. In an effort to further the collec tion of delinquent taxes, and at the same time save me laipajera wno have delinquent taxes a good sized sum or money, cass county commis sioners and the city council are co operating in bringing to readers of the Semi-Weekly and Daily Journal a series of advertisements which started several weeks ago, and which have been the means of creating con siderable interest in the program. Following the publication of each one of this series of advertisements, people interested in good government have availed themselves of the facili ties of the county treasurer to learn how money may be saved by having tax bills brought to date, and de clared payment would be forthcom ing soon. People are often prone to think that the little that they owe to the governmental subdivisions state, ccunty, school district and city in the form of back taxes amounts to nothing at all, but if everyone made an Tionest effort to meet tax obliga tions, a general reduction in taxes would be available to every Ne braskan. Many of us have been un able to pay our taxes because the last few years have been hard times to pay any bills, and have viewed with much concern the piling up of the interest until, added to the prin cipal sum due, it reached a total beyond the ability of many to pay. Enactment of Legislative Bill No. 1 cut from these tax bills the inter est and penalties and those who have been unable to pay taxes may do so now and save money at the same time. This series of advertisements, en dorsed by state, county and city of ficials and leaders is creating con siderable interest and enlightening many who have thought the sum total of taxes delinquent in Nebras ka is not great. We respectfully call the attention of Journal readers to these ads as they appear each Thurs day in both the semi-weekly and the daily issues. OVERCOME BY SLEEP From Monday's Dally Late last night the night police dis covered a stranger asleep on the steps of the Hotel Plattsmouth and who was deep in the arms of slum ber that required some effort on the part of the officers to arouse him.

Lacking the funds to hire a car or to secure a room at a hotel he did the next best thing sought sleep out in the open. The police escorted him to the city jail and there he rested for the re mainder of the night.
