HOW WE SPEND
OUR TAXES
A SIMPLE STATEMENT OF WAY
MONEY IS USED BY OUR
GOVERNMENT
Tho first act in tho process of
taxation Is tho nssossmont of. Jtlto
property of every citizen. Tills is
dono in the spring uml tho assessor
sots a .value on nearly everything wo
own that he could find out about. Tho
total amount of tho valuo of a man's
property is divided by live and this
Is tho amount upon which the tax la
based.
Sunnose a mnn li.nl nrnnnrfv u-tilnll
tho assessor ostlmntpil tn l
$500. Tho assessed valuo would bo
ono-iutn, or $100. If this property
wero ocated In Nebraska it would
have to pay a tax to tho stato of
Nebraska amounting to $1.04. It If
wero located in Lincoln County it
would (have to pay an additioal $1.50
and 50c toward tho now Court Houso
fund. If tho tproporty wero in North
Platto it would havo to pay an ad
ditional $5.12 for riinninif tlm ultv
and $10.20 for tho school fund. Tho
total would bo $18.30. Theso facts
can bo represented in nnother form
as follows: On each $100 N
State tax $1.04
County General tax $1.50
County Court Houso Fund... .50
City tax $5.12
$8.1 G
.$10,20
Scool tax
Total $is.3G
It will bo noticed from the abovo
that tho school tax Is more than all
the other taxes nut toiroMinr. Ami if
has been iprovon mnny times over
mat wo got moro for tho money wo
spend for the schools than for any
other nurnnsp. Tim tnv nmiitnui i'o
ono of tliQ.mbst complicated wo have
ui Kmuriunwni anu mo only way to
solvo it Is to give It careful study.

TRUST THE LEGION. HOYS TO
DEMAND RESPECT I-'Olt
THE FLAG.
Yesterday mojuilng .a young man
In North Plntto took an old Amorican
Hag which ho said ho found in a
pile of refuse, nnd started to uso It
to dust an auto. It was on ono of
our main streets nnd, It only took
a inlnuto for ono or tho American
Legion boys to call him to account.
Otlurs wero on their way when tho
first one got there. Using tho Amori
can flag to dust off an automobile
would not bo oxcuslblo In any
American cltlzon, but tho fact Is that
tho man who did this was a return
ed soldier. His military Ufo does not
seem to have Impressed tho proper
respect for tho flag upon him. Ho
will bo watched with intorest and
wo aro nssured that should ho over
try anything of that kind ngnln his
carolessnes or lgnoranco will not
prevent an attempt to liupres him
rather forcefully.
