THE NORTH PLATTE SERII-WEEKLV TRIBUNE
To tlio Editor
In tho Daily Telegraph of tlio 12, B,
8. Davis makea an attempted explan
ation of record in tho loglnlaturc In
rogard to Building nnd Loan Taxation
covering more than four columns,
practically all of it immaterial and
Irrolovnnt. Tho only pertlnont part
of It his admission that ho did sup
port nnd voto for Scnato fllo No. 05
containing the unfair, discriminatory
section providing for levying nn In
como tax of four dollars per thousand
upon tho gross earnings of Building
& Loan associations. This a special
unfair tax that Is not lovlcd upon any
othor corporation or Individual and
this Incomo tax Is In addition to tax
ation of sharos and property of Build
ing & Loan Associations. In tho snmo
mannor that all otficr Nebraska cor
porations aro taxed.
It is well known that this unfair
tax was placed In tho bill at tho
Instanco of a powerful lobby of tho
bankers association to satisfy some
of tholr monitor banks who were
bocoming alarmed at tho growth and
popularity of tho Building & Loan
AssocIntIons.lt was not Inserted in
tho bill for rovenuo but for spito.
What inducement was mado to E. S.
Davis to lino up for this uninlr tax
Davis could possibly explain, but so
far ho has not dono so.
This dlscriminitory tax is levied
only against tho savings of tho mom
born of tho Building & Loan Associ
ations. Savings in banks, trust com
panies or savings banks aro not so
taxou.
Thero- is on old ndd'ago: "That If
your frlond botrays you once that is
his fault, but If ho botrays you a sec
onil tlmo, it Is your fault." Lot us soo
to It that thoro shall bo no second
tlmo for E. S. Davis.
Lot us voto for nnd elect Victor
Von Goctz ns tho republican nomlnoo
who will work and voto for tho re
peal of this unfair Bplto tax against
tho savings of tho Building and Loan
Blmroholdors.

that has tho biggest assortment from which to choose

Good Government: An
No matter what we chance to have and to hold in the shape of.
lands, buildings, stocks, bonds, mortgages or money, none of these can
be compared as an inheritance for the next generation alongside the
gift of good government that we may make to our children for their ma
terial good and spiritual comfort. To have good government fit
makers and administrators of the law must be time to the ideals of
their constituency not mere self-seekers and time-servers, nor shifty
demagogues and professional politicians, but carefully chosen men who
will honestly discharge their public trusteeship and make satisfactory
accounting of their public and official acts. An emergency has
arisen in the Sixth Congressional District of this state where a succes
sor must be chosen, for a congressman who has given a full generation
candidate are looking several men over from which their choice will
soon "be made. There are four candidates. Of this number the fellow
citizens of Bruno O. Hostetler have insisted that he become their candi
date. In short, they have "drafted" him, and are supporting him as a -candidate
for this office. No man in public life in Nebraska has a
more honorable record than Judge Hostetler. He has been tried by all
the tests of citizenship and official service for thirty years; as a citizen
his life is above reproach; as an official, as mayor and judge of the
courts, his course has shown ability, fitness, integrity, firmness of pur
pose, and a sense of justice to suit every occasion and fit every circum
stance. Judge Hostetler's "home friends" present his name for
consideration by the voters of the Sixth District with the full conviction
that his selection now and election later will be one sure step in the di?
rection of Brood government and the; attainment of fh

Comments of a Few Newspapers of the Sixth
WILL NOT BE BOSSED
BY POLITICIANS.
This may be- said of Julgo Hos
tetler, that he will not bo posscd
by politicians should, ho bo elected,
and ho will voto to the best Inter
ests of nil concerned. The people
are Rotting tired of politics, and wo
bollovo that if tho judge gets elect
ed that ho will cut out somo of tho
"rough stuff" that is being dished
out at Washington. When con
gressmen have to voto a party label
on every question, wo will no longer
havo popular government, and wo
havo faith to believo that ;B. O.
Hostetler is olecte'd to congress, ho
will not bo bossed by politicians.
Loup City Times,
A GENEROUS AND
HAPPY RECEPTION.
Judgo B. O.' Hostetler of Kearney
.was In Gothenburg last Saturday,
and met with a generous and happy
reception. He is in the congres
sional race in- tho "big sixth" dis
trict for tho republican nomination
at tho July primaries. We believe
Judge Hostetler Is tho man of the
hour, worthy to stop Into the shoes
of Undo Moses Kinkald who so
faithfully served tho people of. this
district for twenty or more years.
Wo aro certain that his training
and ability qualify him, for the
Kinkald succession. Gothenburg In
dependent. BOTH SATISFACTION
AND CONFIDENCE.
Tho people of this community,
nearly all of whom aro personally
acquainted with Judgo Hostetler,
will bo highly elated over tho fore
going announcement, and ti is the
general opinion that thoy will show
their appreciation by rallying to
his support at tho polls July 18.
Of tho numerous would-bo succes
sors to Congressman Kinkald, Judgo
B. O. Hostetler appears to bo tho
only ono who Is fitted by experi
ence and ability to tako up the
burden of tho formor and carry it
to tho satisfaction and with tho

Hostetler Is Eligible.
A movomont is on foot in eomo
quarters to discredit tho candidacy
of Judgo Hostetler for congress by
assorting that ho is not a qualified
candidato for tho offlco, becauso ho
is holding tho office of district judgo.
T6 support tho assertion, referonco
Is mado to Section 1139 of tho Ro
visod Statutes of Nebraska, which
provides that no judgo of tho district
court of this state shall bo ollglblo as
a candidato for any othor offlco, ex
cept a judicial office, during tho time,
he is occupying tho offlco. '
Tho moaning and effect of this
statuto .was considered beforo Judge
Hostetler became a candidate, and
has been considered by parties in
terested in othor congressional dis
tricts, It will bo remombered that
Judgo narry Dungan, of Hastings,
was a candidato for congress In the
Fifth Congressional district on the
democratic ticket whon - thhi same
statuto wa3 In forco. Ho and his
friends then concluded that this stat
uto was no bar to his candidacy for
congress, and It has been said by
(rood authorltv that this nrovlslon of
.our statuto refers only to othor .Btato
oinccs anu can not rorcr to federal
offices.
The constitution of tho United
States fixes tho qualifications of
members of congress. Thoy must be
25 years of ago, Bovon 'years a oitl

shall bo chosen, All tho authorities

of tho twelfth judicial district of

for eighteen years, and has mado a
