NOTHING TO BE FRIGHTENED AT.

We are aware that the thought of
having debt of 100000 hanging over
Lyon county is a little frightful at the
first thought. One wants to look the
matter square in the face and familiar
ize himself with the resources of the
county, after the first thought of fright
passes away, in order to be perfectly
satisfied that 100000 is nothing to be
frightened at If we may be permitted
shore Of the continent, there is nothing
so cowardly as 100000 except 100000.
1t will absolutely stink away and hide
its head if you look it squarcly III the
face and roll up your sleeves and go at
it in earnest. We have shown, in an
other column, that our taxable proper
ty has doubled in five years-and that
il is not at all unreasonable TO say il
will be S5,O00,000 in five years more.
What is debt of 100000 on $1,000
600? 8 per cent. on the dollari That's
all. Now, voter, stop a second and
think what frightful thing that is!
five vote the bonds of the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe railroad, in addition
to those already voted for the Neosho
Valley road we will be required to
raise S4l,332 annually to pay interest
and principal on the bonds to the two
roads. On basis of S5,000,0OO a tax of
a triAe over mills will pay the who e
amount annually
There is another important consider
alton: The amount of the sinking
fund and interest will continually be
growing less as we pay them off year
by year, while the taxable basis will be
as constantly growing larger. In ten
years time the tax required to pay this
railroad debt would not be felt or no.
ticed by one taxpayer in one hundred
So, then, we say this 100000 debt is
not such frightfui thing that anybody
need 10 get scared at it. It dwindles
away as you approach it. No man
should be hindered from voting the
bonds OH this account.

READ THEN.

We ask the voters of Lyon county to
carefully read the articles bearing on
the question of voting bonds to the
railroad. We have taken considerable
pains to prepare them. The estimates
are based on figures from the county
records. These articles are prepared
with a conscientious desire to work for
what we consider the best Interests of
the country

WHAT RAILROADS Do FOR REAL Es-
TATE.-A computation, made with great
care by General John S. Shultz, of Man
chester, n. j., aud presented by him
during the past winter to the Lcgisla-
turc Of that State, rs an evidence of the
influence OF railroads Oh the develop
ment of the country shows that the adj
vance in value OF improved and unim-
improved lands on the line OF the Rari-
tan and Delaware Bay road, between
Manchester and Long Branch "a dis
lance of about twenty-five miles,, dur
ing tine five years immediately succeed
ing the completion of said road, was
SI0,I95, 500, OH S6.S24500, an aggregate
increase of ono hundred and forty-pine
per cent, or twenty-ninc per cent. per
annum.
The progress indicated may appear
almost incredible to persons unfamiliar
with the past and present status of the
locality alluded to, but we believe it to
be rather understated than otherwise.
One would think that with such evil
dence before them, the owners of real
estate would not hesitate for moment
to extend to- railroad companies such in
dUccments as would enable them to
build their roads 10 our county.

Tomorrow night there will be a

Let this be remembered, aud the house

For the meetings of next week we

We know it is a busy time, but this
question is one of so m,sch importance
sto demand one evening from every
voter in the county. We shall endcaS-

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS.

Nearly every stock-raiser and consul
mer of goods which are brought
from the East, will save the amount of
his tax every year for the railroad
bonds in the cheaper freiglts which the
railroad would bring. Nearly every
person has to go to Topeka or Law
renee during the year, and some per-
sons several times a year. Instead of
paying 81 or SO as they now do,
they could make the trip for from SO to
$3.50. Many persons would save more
than their tax in this one item.

VALUE OF RAILROADS TO FARMERS.

The American -4gficWttHTiSt, a paper
not interested i'll any pet railroad pro-
ject, gives the following figures in re-
Iation TO the benefit railroads are to
farmers. Coming from such a source
we can but recommend IFS statements
this particular time:
To haul forty bushels of corn forty
miles on wagon, costs at least Sl2 for
the team, driver and expenses. y rail-
road would transport il Tor 81 at most.
Allowing an average of forty bushels
per acre, or eighty per cent, as the rel
alive advantage is about the same for
other crops, it is clear that a railroad
passing through a town would add 500
per acre to the value of the farms. a
! town ten miles square contains $1,000
acres. An increase of 500 per acre is
equal TO S6.200,O00, or enough TO build
two hundred miles of railroad, even it
it cost $4,000 per mile. But two humid
red miles of road would extend through
twenty towns ten miles square, and cost
$40 per acre If taxed upon tIie. land.
These figures are given merely as an il
| luStFaiiOm. If the farmers had taxed
themselves TO build all the railroads in
the country, and given them away to
any companies that would stock aud
run them. the present Increased value
OF their land would have We'll repaid
the outlay.
Now, friends, vote for your interests
on the 18th of Jnne, and don't be con-
trOlled by any petty local or other pref
