MoAKTUUKtSEditor and Owner :W ONLY M.MOUKATtO PAl'BH- IN winisaat county - - - Railroads and Heal Ebtatc Under tlic McKelvic "civil adminis trative code" the department of finance is given power and authority to "exercise general supervision over the administration of assessment ur.d tax laws of the state, over county, precinct, township, city and village ussessors,boards of county commis sioners, county boards of equalization and all other boaids of levy and as sessment." Tho department is also given power to require "individuals, partnerships, companies, associations, joint stock companies, and corpoin tions to furnish information concern ing their capital, funded or other debts, current assets and liabilities and all other facts which may be need ful or desirable." Proceedings taken and action had by the department are subject to leview by tho state board of equalization. No more authority could bo be stowed upon u department than is given the finance dcpaitmcnt under the foregoing provision. But how has tho authority been exorcised? Has it lesultcd in taxation matters being moio equitably adjusted, or has it re sulted in a decided increase of taxes to one class of propcty, and a de crease to another. The facts will show. In 1919 the railroads of Nebraska woe charged with a total of $738,81'! slate taxes. In 1920, after the ' civ 1 administrative code" became orcia tivc, tho railroads will ba charged with $GtfG,903, a decrease of S 101,9 10.

People hurried out and fourd the Burlington depot in flames. No water was available at that dis tance from town and there wars noth ing to do but stand around and watch the building bum to thi ground. Dr. Packwood was the first t3 dis cover the fire and alarm was immed iately sent out from the tjlcphoro of fice. ' Tho fire ovidintly started in tho coal bin, tho coal heating and ig.u'ting spontaneously. Kouncly Irvin rushed into the smoke-filled bu Iding nrd suc ceeded in getting most of the rccrds, tickets, etc. Some old freight cars have been placed for temporary quattos but these will be a poor shift for winter. It is hoped tho company will re build at onco and there is a strorg sentiment in tho community that a now site bo chosen near town. Comparatively little expense wo Id accomplish this. If tre building had been in town it could have been saved from destruction' Satui day. A move is on foot to present tho question to the company.

J Kcd Cloud Merchants Issue A Joint Advertising Sales Pester Four retail stoics in non-conipctirg lines in Ited Cloud, Neb., leccntly want together on an advertising stunt nr.d each .took one page of a four-page poptcr, each page the size of ore pajc of a six-column newspaper. The fcur stores represented were the W. G. Hamilton Clothing company; the I?. P. Weesncr company, dry goods; Gas ton Music company; The Graham Furniture company. The W. G. Hamilton company, for the privilege of using the fio-1 page, devoted some of its space to a gre.al announcement of the purpose if the advertising, to state the new mer chandising policy of these stores, al though stated in terms of the indivi dual store. Each ad made special pi ices, repre senting substantial reductions and en seasonable merchandise. Each ad was such as would appear as a pa?e ad in r.ny nowspaper, each was well wi it ten and well set. That is not more general and usual commendation, for those ads were so good ns to deserve more extended comment than is pos sible here. There is nn added interest and force to the advertising thus put out by sev eral stores in co-operation. It is the next best thing to newspaper adver tising in the way of a combined and general interest, and has an advantage over the newspaper ia that it goes to a select mailing list. On the t-p of tho last page there was a space for tho name and address of tho prospect, indicating that the poster' was folded and mailed to a list rather than given btoadsido distribution. Moro of that sort of advci Using and merchandising now will prove to be a good, thing for any store and any town, especially where such cp-opera-tion can bo secured. This one may have been due to the Red Cloud Chief, and, if so other ,newpap2r rqen ought to p'rofit by the, hunch.Omaha Trade Exhibit i Orders for PianoTuning Should be left promptly at the Gust ou Music Store, A L liuitouhereVoo 185 audiences tried it this way MOST people know that the musical enjoyment which they get out of a phonograph depends upon one thing.

Nonef could distinguish between. her Hiving voice and its Re-Cbeation. This is one of the phenomenal records or realism.
