If some ono will givo The Tribune man a buhi of money equal to that which will bo spent In Lincoln county during tho year 1917 for now cars and tho operation and upkeep of old cars, counting in depreciation, ho will agree to put u'p a court house costing $125,000, build a $250,000 hotel, giving tho first to tho county and tho second to tho city, and havo loft enough mon oy on which to extravagantly llvo for tho remainder of his life. And yet tho people of Lincoln county by their vote in tho past havo said that they cannot afford to bo "taxed to death" for . tho sako of having a court house and the court house is needed a hundred times moro than any ono man or any 2000 mon in Lincoln county need a car. The Union Pacific railroad company, which would pay in taxes about one-third tho cost of a now court house, is perfect ly wining to 'pay its share, but tho man whose sharo of tho tax would bo less than $5.00 a year hollers because the tax will bo "burdensomo" and yet he pays Crom twenty to forty times that amount for tho privilege of .owning a piece ot macninory that at best is only a money burner. The men of Lincoln county aro cer tainly a consistent (?) bunch of crea tures. :o::- Wlilto Buys n Speedster. Piatt Whito has ordered a Hudson super six of tho speedster model, a car that will develop eighty mllo'san nour on mrt roacis, ana over a Hun dred on permanent roads.

Life insuranco agents should inter view Piatt before he gets tho car warmed up. ::o: :- 3Iuclf Cns Is Used. Ono North Platto garago sold twelve thousand gallons of gasoline during the month of June. If tho other flvo garages each sold half as much the to tal sales woro 42,000 gallons. Basing tho mileage at twolvo to tho gallon, that means a half million miles on one month's salo of gai, and that san cost tho consumers over ton t'."u'and dol lars. -::o:: Mrs. Lou. J.
