THE TAX HOIKS Kit Prohibition Ifr first, n moral ques tion upon which ho who loves his neighbor ns himself cannot hesitate in his decision. But the world nevor has been, and probably never will be, governed by righteousness ns taught by tho Christ. Solf-lntercst is tho ruling factor in all things; tho pocketbook, not conscience sways mankind. Net all men to be sure, but tho ruling majority. , It is a shame, but nevertheless a fact, that to eradicate an evil, appeal must be made to the pocketbook, and public policy Is often shaped to meet tho demands of sordid dollars and at the expense of the best Interests of the race. In nil tho past King Alcohol has by deception mobilized and nrrayed dol lars against public morals and public Interests nnd alcohfcl nnd grocd are the two most infam'ouB tyrants known to mankind. Local icptlon licenso never was in tended for anything else but a bribo to tho tax-shlrkor, to debauch and des troy his nolghbor and his neighbor's family, degrade and disgrace his com munity and yet tho modi ono one-sided thing existed for whore the tax- dodger shifted his obligation of sup porting schools to tho amount of tone dollar, he entailed a sacrifice of many dollars upon tho 'taxpayers of tho cbun- ty and state to take care of criminals, paupers and insane. One would think that such an "ccon omlst" could hardly look an honest man in the face, much less view tho squallcr his infamy brings to tho drink er's family. Can we conceive anything moro das tardly than for a city or village, for a few paltry dollars, to allow to. be established and maintained, a crime breeding hole whose criminals and destitute thus made must bo taken care of by. taxpayers who have never received one penny's worth of benefit from the licenso bribo? ' . Then insult Is added to Injury by such bribe takers claiming that decent people foster tho thing as a "boqsf to business." Botosting business by the earnings of the poor going over ithe bar while the children go barefoot Lincoln county taxpayers and g'cod citizens Just now have an bject lesson of home local option. After moro than thirty years of Btrenucus work the people of tho city and towns put tho crtmo nnd pauper factories out of business but no, not nil I There Was ono little. Insignificant town scarcely dlscornablo on tho map, though petitioned by SO per cent of tho farmers in tho surrounding country not to licenso a devil's don, yet, bo causo tho whisky ring nnd tho tax- dodgers got together on n $3,000 bribe, their counsel provnllcd, and In all ty will pay many times that sum In ty wll pay many tlmo3 that sum 'In added criminal costs and pauper sup p:rt. "Prohibition don't prohibit," mnyho not, nltogothor, but when tho voice of 90 per cen't or more of tho voters of tho county don't "regulnto" wo know "regulation" Is n failure. Outlaws aro outlaws and tho only regulation Is tho extinction tot the breed. Not only 1h tho 'tax item n big one nnd of moment, but cvoryono who drives on tho highways within twenty to thirty miles cf this dnmnnblo booze centor knows that i;ho life and limb of men, womon and chlldron Is constant ly menaced by the roekloss drunkon nuto drivers.

Another reason party-line numbers are sometimes changed is that we are occasionally forced, by a demand for additional tele phone facilities in some localities, to regroup our wires and place on the same line those party-line subscribers who live in the same neighborhood. We realize changing numbers Is an annoyance to our subscribers, and It la an expense to us, and wo do It as little as possible. NEBRASKA TELEPHONE COMPANY Local op'.lon Is tho prlvllcgo of a county or a town or oven n vtllago, to do tho same. Tho above p:ckct book indictment is pret.ty sovore, but enn wo succcsb fully dispute nny of it? Let's compare a bit. A mnn has personal liberty to be filthy In his hnblts if ho chooses, but it his fllthlncss extends to allowing dead hogs to Ho unburlcd on his plnce and "stink un" tho roads and com munity around Jio Is liable to a lino for maintaining n nuisance, but now if said hogs happen to be cholera hogs not only will ho bo "liable" and may bo somebody push tho Indictment, but every neighbor for miles around will take notice and keep wntch, becauso they know Ithat dogs and buzzards will carry tho infection and that their pocketbook Is menaced. If for a bribe some little Insignia ennt village local optioned to maintain a cholora virus factory and Indulged In tho personal llbct'.y of leaving chol era flesh around, tho fnrmors would descend on such a place with shot guns. Tho snlron is tho only recognized nnd undisputed nulsanco that is 11 censed and legalized so that injured parties among whom dogs nnd buz zards carry tho stink and Infection havo no recourse except by Itaking away tho special privilego of a few to license a thing that affects and In Jures tho many.
