READ THE TRIBUNE
NOW AND THEN.
The manufacturing enterprises
of Falls City are doing the larg
est volume of business in their
history. T h e mill has been
working overtime for several
weeks and is still behind with its
orders. It is a question of a
short time before the wheels will
be turn hi } ? night and day. All
that a business requires to succeed
is to deliver the goods , ami the
product of the Ileacock mill needs
nothing more than a trial to
make a permanent customer ,
The Leyda cigar factory is like
wise working overtime. ' A dozen
employees keep at their benches
long into the night and are still
unable to supply the demand.
Mr. Ley da received a standing
rder from Kansas City for ten
housand Single Binder cigars
nonthly a short time ago. He
iceds more competent men and
ears that unless he secures them
le may have to cancel the Kan-
as City order. If all Palls City
vould buy its cigars and Hour at
lome h o w these institutions
vould boom.

We are to celebrate July 4th.
in an ordinary , stereotyped
vay , but in an up to the minute ,
omething doing way. The com-
nittees to solicit funds arc met t-
ng with splendid success and the
Tails City spirit seems to have
aken hold of things in general.
Our friends can depend upon it
hat the real celebration will take
place right here and that every
effort will be made to show \ou
the best time of your lives.
The determination of the city
idministration to clear up the
sidewalk question is generally
commended. Falls City has about
the worst sidewalks ever and the } '
are constantly getting worse-
The walks from the Missouri
Pacific up Chase street -are the
limit and the remarks of pedes
trians traveling thereover have
kept the recording angel busy for
the past six months. This con
dition is to be changed , however.
New walks are to be laid where-
ever necessary and old ones are
to be repaired. The town will
look better and the inhabitants
will use less profanity when these
things are done.

If eycry public servant would
be as faithful to his constituency
as John Ilinton has been to Falls
City there would be more confi
dence reposed in public officials.
A number of men were re count
ing the many things Mr. Ilinton
has done for his people and the
list is formidable. Not only has
he made the public park a thing
of beauty but he has constantly
labored to improve it. The in
stallation of closets in the court
house , the building of a band
stand in the yard and the hun
dred and one things that we take
for granted are the result of hard
and persistent work on the part
of Mr. Hinton. He it was who
insisted on Falls City receiving
her rights from the road fund
and who finally succeeded in get
ting an appropriation to build a
stone bridge. It has been his
chiefest pleasure to care for the
poor and unfortunate and man }
are they who have been helped
by him in that spirit of pure
charity that aids but does not
.wound. Falls City has never
had a truer friend than John
Ilinton.

Falls City township has the
right idea on the road question
After each rain the drags art ,
started and the highways put it
good condition. As a result o
this intelligent treatment the
roads of this township are a jo }
forever. The road from Judge
'Gagnon's hout-o down across the
bottom is as hard and smooth as
pavement and shows wonderfu
improvement over its former con
dition. It would pay the officials
of the various road districts to
investigate the Falls City town
ship method and learn by occular
demonstration just what a little
intelligent industry applied in a
proper and timely way will defer
for a country road.

A Correction.
In regard to the mention of
the W. O. W. held at their hall
last Monday night , June 3rd , I
wish to say ( wishing to rectify
the mistake made ) while the W.
O. W. were in session the ladies
of the Woodman circle met at
Shield's variety store , with all
the good and sweet stuff in the
way of eatiblcs and when the W ,
O. W. in regular session was about
to come to a close a member of
the circle and also of the W. O.
W. gave the word and the outer
door of the ante room was opened
and the circle gathered there
until the session was brought tea
a close and the woodmen had laid
down their axes ready to start
for home , then the inner doors
were thrown open and the circle
ladies , with full baskets and
cheerful hearts , rushed in and
surprised the woodman with their
long faces and tired bodies after
their hard day's work. But when
they saw those smiling faces and
those full baskets there went up
a cheer that raised the roof and
the woodman wanted to partake
of the.good stuff there and then
but the ladies of the circle would
not have it that way ; they came
there to hear Sov. II. 13. Lemmon
who had just got back from the
National council held by the
W , O. W. and by the Woodman
circle at Norfolk , Va. , and they
made him tell all he knew. Then
they all partook ot the bountiful
supply of the goody goodies the
ladies had brought in their bask
ets as a free will offering to the
Woodmen of the World.

Poll. Tax $2.5o For 1907.
The County Cleric is just in re-
c'i'ipt of a eiimiminiciition from
the Attorney General , which
seems to be in direct conflict will ) ,
nil other ofliciiil information that
he has been able to get.
The opinion of the Attorney
General reads in part as follows
and probably settles the matter of
the amount and manner of paying
the poll tax for the year 1907.
"In passing tins net the legisla
ture repealed the former statute
on the subject , nnd the now law
will require each inhabitant of n
road distriet who is subject to the
payment of a poll tax to pay $2.50
in cash at the same time as the
tax upon personal" property is
pnynble , in 1907. The new net
does not contain an emergency
clause , and therefore will not go
into efl'ect until July , after the
assessor has made the assesment
roll for 1907 , but the new law re-
dncing the poll tnx to $2.50 nnd
making it pnynble in wish will become -
come operative before the tax lists
of 1007 are made up by the
County Clerk nnJ delivered to the
county treasurer , nnd before the
personal taxes become due.
After an extended examination
of the question presented my
opinion is that it will be the duty
of the county clerk to enter on
the tax list for 1907 the stntnatory
poll tax of $2.50 Hgainst dnch inhabitant -
habitant of n road district who is
subject to the payment of such
tnx. In my judgement no $3.
labor tnx for 1907 authorized by
the old Inw can legally be col
lated , and an attempt to pny such
tnx in Inbor before the new Inw
goes into effect will not defeat the
stnluntory poll tnx of $2.50 , pay
ment of which is directed by the
now statute "at the same time as
the tnx upon personal property is
payable , " in 1907.
