One more effort like that and tftere wifi be nothing left but the Herald t stock in F trade wind. The Dereon who says that the paying off of the outstanding debt of the county will not reduce toe levy, for taxes either unacquainted with the fact or given to misrepresentation. The Lincoln Journal thinkft the fact that Nebraska farmers are awake to the : to nr the suw beet question is UlipVI " 1' " ft, as tlie Herald says, warranU are not county debte, then with precisely the sauie kind of reasoning an individu al's yromiaory note is not a debt. The warrants issued by the county are sim ply the prom una of the county to pay the payee of the warrant so issued the amount specified in such warrants. The county relies on the collection of taxes under a particular levy to pay its war rants. If the taxes are not. couectea un der that levy some other provision must h. made to oav the debt. The same with John Smith when he gives bis ne gotiable promissory note for a certain sum, expecting to pay it out of his wheat crop for that year. If the wheal foil k will have to make some other arrangement to pay it. ne not repudiate his note because his wheat croo failed; neither can the county repu diatcits outstanding warrants on the rounds of having a lot of delinquent ...)W-hL taxfcs that are drawing 10 per cent interest Funding bonds are usually voted id counties for the purpose of jying off county warrants, and not claims, and tlie Cottonwood correspondent was right when he said it was unlawful to allow claims any year in eicess of the levy for that vear. and as the Herald is Bshing nrettv well exemplified in the announce-1 -. , the we win glad ment of the secretary ot agriculture unit twenty thousand applications for sugar beet seed had been filed from Nebraska.

You know that the best thing for ill to do as tax payers is to re duce Uxa&ft to the lowest rate possible at the present time. Anti-boods-Yea, but I cant see now we are going to do so by Voting more debt op to ourselves. F How flo you make out that by voting for bonds we will increase we debt? AWelT: as I understand it, we are not owing $15,000.00. , F Don't we owe $7,175.58 m claims against the county which have been al lowed? Don't we owe $810.80 in claims that are filed and not acted on yet ? Have we not got our notes or warrants out for $6,813.81? Will not the interest na th warrants amount to $500? Don't that make over $15,000.00 debt? A Yes, but then vou count the war rants as a debt, and that is no way of doing, as there are delinquent taxes enough outstanding to pay the warrants. F Oh; psliaw, you know well ehougn that you are in debt over $500, although your cattle and horses are worth f l.uuu, yet you cannot say that you are not in debt $500. A O, of course. debt, but then why Don't be afraid of losing the time it will take yon to go to the polls to vote Tor funding the indebtedness of Sioux County with 6 per cent, 20 year bonds as you will be benefited more thereby than by any other labor you may be en gaged at unless it be shading allowed ac counts 40 cents on the dollar. The commissioners are corresponding with an ttwrt accountant, not to acer- tain tbe exact amount of the indebted ness of the county, but to be certain in regard to the illegal expenditures. The indebtedness will have to be paid, as it has been allowed, but in order to recover what has been illegally expended it is best to have authority that cannot be doubted as to the amount. amount levid by tax for tbe current year eieent there be money In the treaaury tbe credit of the proper f oud for the pay ment of the same; nor shall It be lawful for tbe county board to issue any certificate of indebtedness in any Tom in payment of auy account or claim, or to Snake any contract for or to issue any Indebtedness against the county, Ui excess of the tax levied for coun ty expense during the current year, nor shall any expenditure be made or Indebted nesa be created to be paid out of any of the fnnds of aaid county In excess of the amount levied for aaid fund. In connection with thi, we wish to call the peoples attention to tbe fact that TH Journal has substantiated its posit ion on the bond question by citing the law on every point raised in the issue while it is a notorious fact tliat tbe Herald has not cited a scintilla of law to sustain a single position it has assumed against the bonds; its opposition, consist ing entirely or bluster Draggaaocio auu a very poor quality of wifod; The investigation into tbe immigration methods in New York, briwrs into prom inence the indifferent enforcement of the federal law. Hordes of people are brought to this country by mercenary peddlers of cheap labor, to whom ihe im migrant become a slave until the pas sage money and incidentals are repaid. The "revelations already made furbish tbe committee with ample material to stop tbe leaks in tbe present law and point out how it can be best enforced to pro tect American workmen from the com petition of contract laborers. Bee. It may be that some of the well-mean ing tax payers will be deceived into vot ing against funding tbe debt, but why they should be we are at a loss to under stand. If they were called Upon to cre ate a debt of $15,000.00, we would not be surprised to bear of considerable op position, but to fund the debt at a low rate of interest is undoubtedly a step in the right direction wbeh chattel mort gages have to be placed on the teams "of settlers in order to obtain money to buy seed and groceries. In twenty years from now there will be more of us to hear the burden. Let us wait for help. a onrmsnnndent in the last issue of the Herald says that if tbe bonds are voted down and there are suite brought against the county ft b no one's fault but the commissioners. That tbe suits will be brought by virtue of tbe fact that the present commissioners say thev are only going to issue warrants on the I860 levy for claims which accrue against the county for this fiscal year, and then he proceeds to tell the people the law(?) on which he bases his logic and lays down a mode of procedure for the commissioners as follows: 'That if the county commissioners will allow all just and fair bills that may be presented against the county in order of their presertation, and thereaf ter, following the same Just and lawful order in the issuing of warrants therefor, to the proportionate amount in the miihner nrovided bv law, no occasion for a suit against the county will, or can, arise in that connection, or in the manner, or for the cause threat ened." Mr. Citizen says so you must accept it. The supreme court of this state, in 12th Nebraska, on page 83, says, in the case State of Nebraska ex rel, Henry E. Hitchcock, vs, A. E. Harvey, that the levy for each year is to be regarded as a distinct fund by itself for the purpose of paying tbe expenses of that year. The reason and justice for the above is self evident. If they could compel the commisioners to issue warrants indis criminately for allowed claims in tbe or- Ex-Commisioner Klein, in a recent communication to the Herald says that the paying off of the outstanding war- aer in whj(.n they were allowed that is. rants by bonding the eounty would ne il legal and the commissioners would be criminally liable if they did so. Pshaw ! Dan. you've got the matter a little in that light it is a don't the treasurer collect the delinquent taxes and pay the notes or warrants ? F Do you think the treasurer ought i.ii. i;tmui warrants and force the tax payers to nay the taxes wlien they have not got enough money to buy seed and Kroceries ? A Well, the tax payers are not an in that sliape. Why don t lie stir up tnose who are able to pay ' F-r-Ue will be accused of being partial and unfair in transacting the business of the public. He might do tliat in bis ow business. A- Well, m tell you, I am afraid the aim is to get a surplus on hand to bank on. F Where is the surplus going to conn from ? But, hold on, before you answer that question, let me give you a pointer about the banking part of this business. It tbe eounty does not arrange matters so as to t able to issue warrants within ten days after the claims are allowed, as the law provides, then tlie banks will have the snap they always have enjoyed bv buviric claims for 60 cents on tbe dol lar. There is where the banks will have a decided advantage in case tbe funding bonds are not issued. A That wont hurt us any, that is you and I, as we have no claims to sell. F It may not appear so to you, but indirectly we suffer by just that kind of business. When allowed accounts are peddled for sixty cents on tbe dollar the tax Daver is the loser, in as much as it will be more expensive to have work done for the connty, or to buy supplies or material for anything the COOTty B-'"" want Why, man, tbe saving in getting what the county needs for a cash price 1 will pay tlie interest on the $15,000. A Yes, but you are forgetting about that surplns. F Well, in fact, I don't know how tbe surplus is going to accumulate. If the bonds are issued and sold and the money placed in tbe treasury, the treas urer is compelled by law to notify all parties who hold claims against the county to come and get their money. As soon as they are notified tlie interest on warrants ceases, and there will be no surplus left as money is scarce. The de linmient taxes that are paid in can be placed to the credit of tlie fund of 1890, and when the warrants issue and are pre sented they can be paid and the interest shut off. There will not be enough com ing in to run the county until tlie levy for 1890 commences to come in. If there should be enough collected it will be aft the better. A That looks reasonable enough, but how are the taxas going to be lower wlien we have $900 interest to pay ? F The election will lie held before the levy of 1890 is made, and if the people At one end of an article! Sb OrmU i a' . ni k: last week were the worn "mesaing FUoux County," ad at U other awl of the same article were tbe Words "Daniel Klein."

How simpie vo just issue warranU drawing 7 per cent interest for everything ftnq then no oue pay taxes, (most any one would agree to that) then tlie 3 per cent difference be tween interest on warrants and on de linquent taxes would soon pay off our indebtedness. Tliat is so Klein tliat it would indeed be a grand way to run the county- . n After attempting to be smart a uttir while at tlie expense of THE JoCKNAL ed- . ru itor and also at tlie expense oi one in Commissioners who has the serious mis fortune to be youthful, and whose brain not half as Klein as tliat of this green corn cob of tlie old gang, he remarks as follows.

The only re course left to them is to put their claims into judgments and force tbe payment of the same by special tax.
