THE TAX CASES.
Judge Munger decided the tax
cases against the railroads last
Saturday and in favor of the pee
ple. This means that the rail
roads will not only have to pay
their taxes hut a good round sum
in interest as well. This is a
consnination devoutly hoped ,
and its realisation is a source of
thankfulness to the people who
have felt the need of funds be
cause of the conduct of the Bur
lington and Union Pacific rail
roads. Norris Brown , the attor
ney general , is entitled to the
congratulations of all Nebraskan's
regardless of political affiliation.
Single handed and alone he has
fought this light against the
best lawyers that money could
provide , and has been victorious.
The amount of labor performed
by him in the case has been
stupendous and the fact that thi- :
state permits its law officer to hi
paid but $2500 a year for service
of this kind is a disgrace. It U
putting it conservatively to say
that the counsel fees paid to UK
lawyers who opposed Mr. Hrown
will exceed $25,000. The ainounl
saved to the state and countiet
by Mr. Hrown's labor will run
into the thousands , yet we pre
sume that partisan papers will
not grant him even so much as v
complimentary word.
A Kansas district judge has
sent in his passes. Kansas is al
ways producing some freak.
If the present congress does noi
make good on the question ol
railroad rates and tariff revision ,
the republican party may prepare
for a stormy voyage in the neai
future.
Next week , if nothing happens
the Tribune will run the firs' '
chapter of its new story "Tin
Spenders. " Don't fail to rea <
this as it is one of the best storj
of rccsnt years , and is the bes
story that money can buy.
It would be well for the count ]
officers to inspect the printin ;
furnished them during the nex
year , as we understand some o
the prices were les than the rav
material alone is worth. W
know that our esteemed ncighbo
has expended a good deal o
space in assaulting the graft o
life insurance and the beef trus
but most of us have heard th
story of "stop thief. "
A canning factory would pa
in. Falls City. Barada made sc
vcral thousand dollars last yea
and Auburn has repeatedly mad
100 per cent annually on tli
money invested in its canning ei
terprise. The disastrous cxpe
ience had by Palls City in tl
past should not deter it from ai
other effort in this direction i
view of the splendid succei
other towns are having. We ai
favorably located for the busine :
and someone could make a goc
deal of money and provide ei :
ployment for a good many peep
at the same time by installin
such a plant.
The Missouri Pacific will soon
c o m m cnce extended improve
ments on its line between Omaha
and Kansas City and , as we un
derstand it , a large force of labor
ers will make Falls City their
headquarters during the progress
of the work. A good many pay
checks will be cashed here if the
report is true , and Falls City will
be correspondingly benelitted.
Mr. Hryan has spent sometime
in the Philippines and be it said
to his credit , he has never lost an
opportunity to speak a good word
for his country and its purposes
in the Islands. Many Philli-
pines who desire independence
have waited on Mr. Hryan and
sought encouragement from him ,
but at all times he replied as be
comes a patriotic American and a
good citizen. Mr. Hryan is a
good deal of a man , and while he
has done many things with which
we disagree his course in our far
away possessions has been ad
mirable.
The Falls City business man
is a town builder. He has in
vested his money here and bears
his share of every public burden.
Ilis goods arc disclosed for your
inspection , he is here to make
good everything he says. IJis
prices are as low as the catalogue
man considering the fact that he
pays the freight , A Chicago
paper last week published the
picture of a great eastern manu-
factury that employ 1000 men
and women ; it buys all the old
rags on the market and mixes
them with a little wool and turns
out as its manufactured product a
shoddy cloth that sells for wool.
The startling fact is that it sells
every yard of its product to a
c a t a 1 o gue house. Falls City
merchants do not sell that kind
of wool.
The statement in the last issue
of the News with reference to the
industrial condition of Falls City
was both timely and true. Our
mechanics have left us for other
places where employment awaits
them. There are very few on
Saturday nights pa'roll. There
is some cause for this condition ,
there are probably many causes
for it. It is the duty of every
good citizen to acsist in eliminat
ing the causes which are respon
sible. There is no apparent rea
son why Falls City should be
less prosperous than its neighbors
there are many reasons why it
should be more so. It is sur
rounded by the best country on
earth. Its farmers are prosper
ous. Its markets arc probably
more restricted than formerly )
much idle money ha& been invest
ed in the cheap land to the west ;
some of our farmer friends may
not feel as kindly to us as they
did formcrlj , but these conditions
are transitory and will pass away.
The truth of the matter is thai
one cause for the depression is
that we do not take enough in
terest in our real benefactors
Auburn would countenance this
telephone situation through jusi
one meeting of the council. Tin
business men up there would no
be held up through any one'i
selfishness. Why , think of it
the business men in Auburn havi
spent over 54.000 within a yea
- to build a mile and a half of roai
to make it more convenient fo
the fanner * to drive in to town
Falls City seems to be trying t
find some wav to k e c
il I the f a r m e r out. Of cours
only a part of the depression j
caused by the telephone difficulty
there are other causes as well
t Let's find them out and put then
all out of the business. Falls
City's prosperity is of more value
than all else. Let's work simply
to this end and see what the
year accomplishes.
