Take TAXES, for example. Our total tax bill in 1929 was $184,137. This included taxes we paid to the cities and counties in which we operate, and to the state and the Federal government. Last year 1938 our total tax bill for direct taxes was $266,537! An increase of $82,400 or approximately 45 in ten years' time and during most of this period our revenues have suffered drastic reductions because of unfavorable business and crop conditions! YET TELEPHONE EXCHANGE RATES HAVE NOT BEEN INCREASED GENERALLY AND LONG DISTANCE RATES, H AYE GONE DOWN STEADILY! Lincoln TeJtpltWe -A Acoratfta Cmnpamy f Farm Bureau Given Decision By Judge Wilson Long Fought Suit Involving Appro priation for Farm Bureau Decided Wednesday. In district court Wednesday Judge W. W. Wilson rendered his decision in the case of George S. Ray, tax payer, against the County of Cass and the Cass County Farm Bureau. The court dismissed the amended petition of the plaintiff in the case. This action has been pending for several months and involved the mat ter of the appropriation made by Cass county each year to assist in the maintaining of the Cass County Farm Bureau whose offices have been located at Weeping Water. The matter has been pending since the summer of 1938 when a petition was filed asking that the matter of the voting of the appropriation be placed on the ballot at the election in November 1938. The result was that the proposal to take away the appropriation was lost as the vote showed a majority of the votes for keeping the appropria tion but lacking what was termed the majority of the total vote altho a majority of the votes cast on the proposition. It was the contention of the coun ty and the Farm Bureau that the ap propriation should be made as the proponents had failed to carry their cause at the election. The fact that the Farm Bureau was in operation and had been so for twenty years was contended as showing that the majority must be against the appro priation to have it removed. Whether the case will be taken to higher court has not been an nounced by the attorneys for the plaintiff. The case was very ably handled by County Attorney Walter H. Smith, who had prepared the opinion on 'the matter for the board of county commissioners sustaining the appro priation. RETURN FROM CRAIG Dr. and Mrs. H. G.
