loons.
No citi en who has the best in-
t rest of the city at heart can afford -
ford to vote in favor of the open
; loon.
The state board now has an
pportunity to prove itself true
tci.the people in asse sing rail-
r ad property.
The claim that the law is not
1forced against the il1egal sale
!
of whiskey does not justify any
ne in voting to place the bottle
to his neighbor's lips.
With all property assesscd at
i true value th re shouhl be
aDple ! funds for all legitimate
expenses of the city without resorting -
sorting to ltcense for revenue.
Next Tuesday will settle the
qpestion of saloon license for another - .
other year in Broiten Bow. Let !
j every man regardless of his preference -
ference of candidates vote against
license.
Broken Bow has built up a
favorable reputation for its
sobriety and annually it is adding -
ing to its population men of temperance -
perance views who come here to
ducate their children. 'Ve can
not afford to drive this class of
, people from our midst for a few
paltry dollars that a saloon may
bring into the treasury.
There are two important issues
to be observed in the city elec-
on that every voter should ob-
erve in casting his vote. One is
that the candidate has the business -
ness ability and disposition to
onduct the affairs of the city for
he best interests of all , and second -
end that he wiH carry out the
will of the majority on the ques-
ion of license.
E. Rosewater in his suit last
year against the state board tc
ompell them to raise the asses.
, .
sed valuation of railroad prop' '
rty in this state produced evi.
, Ience that the railroads of Ne.
bradka was worth $50,000 pel
mile. The supreme court di (
not order an increase in the as
sessed valuation because all othc
p'roperty was assessed below it
tni value. This year that cou
dition does not exist. Let ever :
dollar's worth of property in th
state be assessed at its full valu
and the levies reduced accord
ini1y.
There can be but little doub
: of the result of the election i
this city on the lice use questiol :
We have to elect but oue counci
man to have a majority on th
board against liceuse. But th
larier the majority is agaim
1i se the greater will be the ir
fluence for the right in the ft :
ture. The RapUDLtCAN is mal
ing no fight on the candidateS ! ( J

the license ticltet but wants to

liccnse that the public may he so
full ) ' convinced that Brokcn How
will for all timc be against sa-
loons. The reputation of the
city is w rth Ulorc than all the
money saloons would turn in ten
times over.
r
County conventions that hRve
not yet been held should withhold -
hold their endorsement of the
present state officials until the
state board has passed upon the
valuation of railroad property for
assessment purposes. If all other -
er property is to be listed at its
cash value it is but justice that
property of corporations should
he assessed on the same basis.
'fhe repubhcan party can not
afford to renominate any state
officer from governor down that
is not for the enforcement of the
new revenue law agaim.t corporations -
tions the same as ag'ainst indi-
viduals.
State Veterinarian 'l'homas has
recommended a lime and sulphur
dip for cattle infected with lice ,
mange and other trouble ! ; of that
nature and imHts ! that the same
shall be applied thc moment the
alhnent i ! ; known to exist in a
herd. 'l'he statutes gives the
veterinarian authority to prescribe -
scribe treatment and fixes a $50
penalty for refusing or neglecting -
ing to follow his suggestions.
A short time after the promulgation -
tion of thc order represen ta ti vcs
of firms engaged in the manufacture -
facture and sale of patent ( lips
appealed to Dr. Thomas and
Governor Miette ) ' asking that
the order be recinded or modified
for this season at least , as they
had sold thousands of pounds of
their prepara tion for spring
delivery , but he did recind.
