"Where Consistency is n .Towel.
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::-

Buy Coal Now.'
Tho wholosalo coal dealers of Oma
ha aro preparing to tako up with tho
uouncll of Doronso tho coal situa
tion in Nebraska. They dcslro that
tjppubllc bo informed of .tho'iiecossity
or laying in a winter's supply nt tho
earliest possiblo timo. Tho Tribune
has sounded a noto of warning rola
tivo to tho need of such action, but tho
North Platto public seem to have
looked upon tho warning as an ad
vertisement for tho coal doalors,
which, o,f course, it was not. All
this fall and winter tho railroads will
bo busy hauling government traffic,
and will not haul coal. When the
prosont stock hold by tho local doal
ors which Is now about as great as
they can handle Is oxhaustcd, thoy
don't know whether thoy will bo able
to get shipments. If you don't lay
in your stock now, don't holler If you
