A Duty Wc One the Community.
"I am opposed to Issuing more
bonds for school houses; I urn pay
ing about $20 per year now for the
support of the schools, and have no
children In school more bonds and
more taxes mean a burden to mo."
Thus remarked a man to Tho Tribune
editor. This man, we learned, nftcr
we had conversed with him, hnd at
ono tlmo llvo chldren In our ,schopls.
Two graduated, two quit school at the
close of tho lnlth grade, the other
at tho closo of tho tenth. These llvo
children attended school a total of
llfty-two years two attonded twelve
years each, two nine years each and
ono ten years. The cost per pupil of
opcrntlng tho North Platte schools
has never been below $20 per year,
hence the schooling of this mun's chil
dren cost tho district not less than
$1.010 this figure. In fact. Is about
$100 below the actual cost. Tho porlad
covered by theso chldren In school
was nearly twenty years. If this man
paid n school tax of $20 per year,
during that porlod ho did not, how
ever, average $20 per year ho paid
ns his share of his children's educa
tion $100. This left a balance of $010
that other people paid to educate his
children. To make up this $040 this
man must continue to pay $20 por
year for thirty-two years which Is
longer than ho will live. Certainly
this man should be one of tho biggest
boosters for a new school building,
Instead of being oposed. Other peoplo
having helped educate his children, Is
It not only fair that ho should help
to educato the children of others?
Contrast this man's selfishness with
those tax-payers who havo not had
children In school for a dozen years
yet are contnunlly boosting for butter
schools paying taxes cheerfully that
tho children of the community may
rccolvo a liberal education and thus
bo better fitted for life's work. Thoy
consider that this course Is a duty
they owe tho community; that to do
otborwisc would' bo against good
citizenship.
Wo havo over 1400 school children
In tho district, wo want every child
to receive tho best education it is
possible to givo at our hands and
ns good citizens wo will contribute
tho necessary funds without com
plaint. In tho election on December 7th
to voto $50,000 for a Junior high
school building thorc should not bo
nn opposing vote cast.
Defeat Woman's Suffrage.
Overwhelming defeat of woman
sulTrago In New York, Mnssusotts and
Pennsylvania; election of a democra
tic govornor In Maryland to succeed
n republican, and a republican gover
nor in Massachusetts to succeed a
democrat; a gain of ono republican

congress In tho filling of four .va
cancies; a closo contest for tho gov
ernorship In Kentucky, with tho dem
ocratic candidate leading on Incom
plete returns, and tho defeat of pro
hibition in Ohio, arc features of tho
elections in ten states Tuesday. In
Now York the proposed new state
constitution was rejected bv a major
ity of approximately 400,000.
New York denied woman's plea for
tho ballot bv a majority of approxi
mately 200.000. Massachusetts? voto

of 132082. Pennsylvania's returns
