SHOULD CARRY.

! The court house proposition as sub
mitted bv the court should carry for
the reason that it would secure to
Bates county a most excellent court
building, modern i'll all its detail, at
a very moderatecost.
! Because theproposition Is clearand
concise in all its details. so that it is
susceptible of Onl V one construction
and the taxpayer knows exactly what
he is getting for his money.
As an evidence that the building
selected by the court can be built
within the fifty-thousand dollars
asked for. it has already been built
twice for that amount.
Bates county should own her own
court house, and not pay rent for a
building wholly unsuited for that
purpose end which stands az a con.
slant menace to the valuable records
of the county.
Such Il building as contemplated
would be a source of pride TO every
citizen of our county, and the cost
to obtain it would be mere baga-
telle to each taxpayer. The cost on
800 assessed valuation would be
13 cents; on 81 600 valuation 81 30;
on $1,000 valuation 500. Look
up your assessment list and YOU will
see that it will not prove burden
some.
The people of this great county
should not be compelled to pay trib-
ute in the form of rents to any corpor-
alton, but should own their court
house.
We have the most tattering as
surances from every section OF the |
county that the people intend to |
vote for the proposition and we be-
ieve it will carry, without ii doubt.
