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. "Porsonnl Hborty" with

Why Telephone Numbers On
Party Lines Are Changed
When a telephone subscriber who has a party line moves to an.
other part of town we feel it would be unjust to ask one or more
other subscribers to take new numbers so he might keep his
number.
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.

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.
Is It true then that wo prohibit Just
the nulsanco and danger that menaces
our pocketbooks and tolornto tho stink
and infection that endangers "only
our lives and mornls, or tho iniral3
and lives of oUiers? L. M.

Royal Ericsson, born in Lincoln
county 38 years ago, 13 for tho first tlmo
seeking public office. Ho is tho domo
cratlc candldnto for county clork. Tt
Is believed by nil Mr. Ericsson's
friends that a man who for so many
years has boon a constant resident of
Lincoln county, and so cnorgotic a
"booster" for tho county's good, Is en
titled to recognition at tho hands of
his follow restdonts.
Born of a pionoor family, Mr.
Ericsson was educated In Lincoln
county, a d has always mado his homo
here, with tho oxcoptlon of a brief
period when ho wns studying in a
Qrand Island business collogo, from
which ho graduated with honors. His
people wero tho first to locate In Lin
coin county nnd Mr. Ericsson, Sr., was
tho nrst man to pay taxes in Lin
coin county having In his possession
at tho prosont tlmo tax receipt No
1 for taxes paid into tho offlco of tho
county treasurer In 1808 ton yrnrs
before tho birth of tho candidate
After his return from school Mr,
Ericsson taught a rural school In the
county for threo years. SInco that tlmo
he has been engaged in farming near
Brady. Being a graduato of ono of
mo best business schools in the stato,
Mr. Ericsson is undoubtedly qualified
to handle tho duties of the offlco that
ho seoks, and to give to tho offlco
.that samo loyalty that has always
mado him ono of Lincoln county's
"boosters."
A voto for Mr. Ericsson means
voto for an offlclont man.
Your voto for him on Novombor 7
