WHO PAYS THE TAXES ?
The Privntelv owned electric com-
nanv at Omaha paid $404. 3!?;', in
taxes during 1923, or about ten pjr
cent of its total income. The mn-
nicipally owned gas company, with
a valuation something les3 and a
slightly lower income, paid no taxes.
The privately owned company paid
$93,932 in taxes for the support of
the public schools; the gas works;
did not pay a penny.
The Omaha street car company
pays almost the same taxes as the
electric company, but the municipal
ly owned waterworks pays no taxes.
The time was when the water
plant and the gas plant were owned
by private companies and then they
paid taxes to the city, the peluiol dis-
trict. the county and the state.
There are some who would have
the electric companies and the street
car companies publiclj' owned: ateo
the mills and elevators and coal
yards and gasoline stations and
stores, not to mention the rai'roads.
There are many people who feel
that they are always paying mere
taxes than they should, yet trey
know that the schools and the roads
and the hospitals and the jails mrst
to pay interest on war ucoi ana 10
pay salaries for judges and sheriffs
and presidents and governors and in
spectors and clerks.
The same people who want to get
rid of taxes are the ones who sre
apt to wnnt to put businesses of var
ious kinds under government owner
ship, which would at once make more
salaries for more managers, and
clerks and inspectors and at the same
time take these businesses out of the
class of taxpayers.
Other people there are who think
that the more successful businesses
come to a community the more help
they bring to the taxpayer in meet-

ENTERTAINS MISS MINOR
From Saturday's Daily
Last evening the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Lawrence Sprecher was the
scene of a most delightful gathering'
when the employes of the offices at
the local Burlington store house'
gathered to pay a farewell greeting
to Miss Madeline Minor, one of their
associates, who i3 leaving for the
west coast soon.
The occasion was one of the rarest
enjoyment to all of the party and
games of all kinds and music served
to pass the time most delightfully
for several hours. although th'e
; members of the party felt a deep
: pense. f'f regret that their friend and
! nanusoine rememDrance
will take with her to the west. At
a suitable hour
there was dainty
and delicious refreshments served.
AFTER WILD GRAPES.
Many fanners hereabouts, where
grapes grow wild along their fences,
complain that they cannot keep their
fences in shape and their, stock can
not be kept in confinement. The
gatherers of grapes do not seem to
have the least thought or care for
the farmer or his fences, although j
they are on the property of the
farmer. One farmer admonished
some men and boys who were pull
ing down- the vines to secure the
grapes, and nt the same time were
breaking down the fences. The grape
gatherers were told they could have i
the grapes if they would replace the
the men and boys told him to go to !
"that warmer country." Just about
that time one of his sons put in ap-
pearance and chanced to have a gun !
on his shoulder. It did not take long i
for the marauders, for that is what i
they were, to disappear and the J
farmer erected a sign forbidding any j
tresspassers. The land owners, as a ;
rule, are pleased to have those that
want the grapes to pick them, but '
they must be careful ana not destroy :
their property and turn their stock
at large to be run down on the high
ways byautos or tresspass on their
neighbor s property. Nebraska City
