Save Your Home and Farm.
It is singular and strange how vitally
interested certain non-taxpayors nro in
their efforts to saddlo on tho "other
fellow", nlready over-burdened taxpay
er, a $180,000 court house debt. Wo
are told the present court houso is un
safe, inadequate, unsanitary and that
some of tho county records aro without
firo protection; that a new court houso
would prevent county division and that
the small additional tax to build this
modern structure would not bo noticed,
and other unbusiness-liko arguments in
support of this scheme, many of which
nro not, worth tho paper they aro writ
ten on. Thero nro somo very trood
county officials who aro not afraid of
risking their health, even their lives,
and many other good, capable men al
ways ready and willing to take thoir
places nbout election timo to dischargo
theso official duties in tho old court
houso which could not bo duplicated to
day for $45,000, yet wo aro asked to
demolish this, provido $100,000 for a
new ono, together with $80,000 interest
figured at four per cent or a total of
$225,000, which would amount to over
$35.00 each for every man in Lincoln
county over 21 years old.
They tell us a largo amount of theso
taxes will bo paid by tho railroads and
non-resident land owners. Increasing
high taxes aro keeping settlers out of
our towns nnd county, also proventing
railroads from making further invest
ments and tend to make tho farmer
dissatisfied with his lot. If wo have
any monoy to give away, let us firBt
reduce taxes, next put into good roadB,
good schools, Y. M. C. A. und good
churches. Lot tho fnrmcr see that wo
havo his interest at heart and that wo
don't wear silk whilo ho and his family
dress in overalls and calico; that tho
county seat is his city and that tho
glad hand is extended to him nt all
times; that his interests aro ours and
vice verai, when thero will be a better
feeling and no danger of county divis
ion. A very competent architect ex
amined our court houso tho other day.
Ho aaid that with an expenditure of
not to exceed $10,000.00 for vaults and
other rooms, etc., the building would
answer our purposes for many yearn to
come. Many taxpayers, liko myself;
beliove him and that n new court houso
is not necessary at this time.

James Wilson, the well known farmer
living west of town, returned Saturday
from Lincoln, whero ho attended tho
state fair. Ho has attended these

nouncos tho ono of this vear to havn
