OUR CITY ADAUNISTRATICN
One is so prone to take the
good things for granted and tc
kick at tilings unsatisfactory thai
public ofliciuls receive but indif
ferent and insufficient praise foi
the labor performed or the re
sults accomplished.
Mayor Barrett makes a finan
cial statement in this week's
issue that speaks volumes lor
himself and the city council and
the good work done by them
during the past months , yet we
we have heard not one word
about our city administration but
a few kicks on the light plant.
The linnnres of the city ar9 in
most excellent shape ; the mayor
and the council have made good
The same carefulness and indus
try that have made their personal
affairs successful have evidently
been given to your interest and
mine by these poorly paid officials
cials- The Tribune has no kick
on the light question that would
in any wise reflect on any mem
ber of the city administration or
the employees at the power
house. It has however , a sense
of gratitude for the efficient man
ner in which our city affairs have
been conducted , and having such
desires to compliment the mayor
and council on the report lately
submitted to the public.
If we couldn't have a white
Christmas the June weather was
a very satisfactory substitute.
Did you really have a merry
Christmas ? You didn't if you
gave no thought to those whc
are less fortunate than you.
Secretary Taft is right whet-
lie says , "Let's pass a law ex
chiding the Japs from Americ ;
and if they don't like it let then
exclude us. "
It is a matter universally under
stood in Falls City why the Jour
nal is fighting the bridge com
pany. There are two reasons
First , the Martins have neve
been able to control the men be
hind this company though the ;
have often tried. Second , tin
county voted by a vote of five t
two , to give the Gilligan com
pany this year's contract. Th
contract was executed by botl
the county and bridge compan.
and was signed , sealed and de
livered. To ignore this contrnc
now is to have a lawsuit and th
Journal is exerting every eiTor
to bring about this law suit ii
the hopes of bolstering up a wan
ing law practice. Eight out o
every ten of our citizens will ver
ify this statement as it has beei
verified on our streets a grea
tnanv times.
Some of our readers do no
understand how the taxing o
the Kulo bridge in this count
would help us. Say for instanc
the Burlington railroad betwee
Rule and Lincoln was worth te
thousand dollars a mile but wit
the bridge added it would b
worth twenty thousand per mih
That would give Johnson , Pav
nee and Lancaster county a rigl :
to add to their taxable propert
when the road is assessed as
now is ten thousand dollars fc
every mile of road because of tli
bridge. If the bridge was taxe
in this county the other countic
would get the taxes only for tl :
real value of the road in the
county , to-wit , ten thousand do
lars per mile , which we won !
have the right to get not on ]
the taxes for the road as it rut
through this county but tl
value of the bridge as well.
it is now all of these counties gi
their share of the taxes from tl
bridge in this county.
GOES EASILY

FalU City State
PASS AN ORDINANCE.
There is a crying need for an
ordinance in this city to prohibit
the general distribution of patent j
medicine samples about town. A
few days ago some firm with
headquarters in a little Iowa |
town , flooded this community
with sample boxes of what is
called "a red hot salve' ' guaran- ,
ced to euro everything from ,
rcnzied finance to profanity.
Miese samples were thrown in
ards and on porches. A little
hild on south Chase street play-
ug about the yard found a box
f the stuff and from curiosity
pened it and eventually got
ome in his eyes. The result was
e suffered the most excruciating
ain and for a time was nearly
) lindcd. A few months ago a
hild in Omaha was killed by
ating a sample of patent medi-
ine that was thrown into her
ard. Omaha immediately passed
n ordinance making it a misde-
ncanor heavily punishable to
brow such samples about. Falls
ity should have a like ordinance.
IMie mayor should call upon the
ity attorney to draft such a law.
The health and lives of little
children are far too valuable to
> e jepordi/ced by such means. To
icglcct this is to court calamity.
It's all a matter of taste One
rich farmer living close to Falls
Dity fared sumptiously Christmas
loon on a cheese sandwich and a
nug of beer.
Start the new year right by
laving your name written on our
subscription list. Fifty-two news
papers a year for a dollar. Can
you beat that for a bargain ?
The Elks lodge in appointing
a committee of young men to
look into the condition of our
poor and in expending fifty dollars
lars to see that no Falls City
home \\as without its Christmas
dinner and no poor children
missed out on some little present
for the day , fully justified its
organization and exemplied in a
convincing way the cardinal prin
ciple of the order.
The lower house of congress
voted to increase the salaries of
the members of the cabinet , the
vice president and the speaker of
the house , but voted against an
increase of their own salaries ,
The reason given for the lattei
vote is that their constituents
would misunderstand their action
and accuse them of a salary grab ,
This is absurd. The truth ol
the matter is that while five
thousand a year is a good income
in Falls City , it is totally inade
quate for a city like Washington
Our national legislators an
poorer paid than any similai
offices in the world and no mat-
can do more than live on tlu
salary paid. With one possibh
exception , no congressman frou
Nebraska ever saved a dollai
from his salary. The rule ha ;
been to leave the office with les :
money than was owned at th <
beginning of the term. Th <
laborer is worthy of his lure , n <
matter what the employment
and a reasonable hire is enougl
to live comfortably and decently
and to have a little left for :
rainy day.
And the days are growing
longer.
