Carnagie Library Building.
You will have TO decide its fate at next
tuesdays Election.

Now is the time to think hard on the
library question. Next Tuesday will
settle it one way or the other. A large
number of the ladies Of the town are
earnestly cbampioning Its cause. A good
portion Of the business men believe that
we should gladly accept the chance of
getting town present in the way of a
Carnegie library building. Those who
oppose 1t from the simple fact Of the ex-
pense 1t will entail have every right to do
so, and their views must be respected by
those who think differently.
The idea, however, that the library
proposition can in any way directly effect
our general fund tax; that 1t can inter-
fere with our providing for lights, street
improvements, etc., is mistake, and an
unfair argument. II will no more in
terfere with those things than does the
money we spend on churches and schools
If we spent so great an amount on
churches and schools that as individuals
we would haye so little left that we
could not afford to pay taxes for the gen.
eral fund then it would interfere with
the necessities of the town. If an indi-
yidual should come before the property
owners here and say III will build q
handsome library here, costing $500, il

ELEVATOR is A GO.
It Is a Home Man who will Build it.
Ballard Mill Sold.

Plans for a big|grain elevator adjoining
the Dodge City Roller Mills arc now
under way. This project has been known
to few here for the past two months,
but it has not been made public.
The man who will build the new elevator
is Mr.. Chkowsky wealthy miller from
Ellsworth, Kansas, He is here and has
bought the mill Of Mr.. Ballard and will
take possession next week. Mr.. Chi
kowsky was reared in Germany and
learned the milling business in that
country. He has been Kansas miller
for the past seventeen years, and very
successful one. He will do an extensive
milling business here and will have an
adequate and modern elevator for hand
ling this years wheat.
Mr., Ballard has made a success Of the
milling business here, but be has enough
land and other Investments to occupy
considerable of bis time, and believes he
is entitled to day ortwo rest each week.
Besides these considerations he has

will agree to let Mr.. Ballard do just as
he pleases 80 long as he will continue to
make his home here, but be may as well
understand right now that they will not
stand for bis locating elsewhere.

probably every one in Dodge would
say "pet to work on your building; we
will do our part" Or course in the
present instance there is this much more
required; a site for the building must be-
furnished. On the library proposition
tits quite possible that most of the op-
position is caused more from the mere
idea Of the amounts paid for maintenance
being called Il tax.
Every uice public building certainly
adds much TO the importance of town
and something to the value of other
property.
II is worth the while of those who do
oppose the proposition to consider it
carefully, without predjudiee, before
finally determining how they will vote
next Tuesday. Some who opposed it at
first did so on account of the mistaken
idea that the support Of the library would
come out of the general fund levy.
While the above should be carefully
considered by those who oppose the
proposition, those who favor it should
consider carefully the cost and RESPONSE
blIity of the library, and they should re-
spect the views Of the opposition. AS
was stated in this paper several weeks
ago, the proposition is simply: can we
pay an amount which will range from a
few cents to, in few cases, a few dollars,
for a public library with new public
building put in as q gift.
If the proposition is good thing, Its a
good thing for every body; if bad
thing 1t is bad for all alike. Let us use
no unfair argument on either side. Lei
lis talk 1t over together and decide which
course will be best for the town and the
citizens, and allvots together on the
right side.

Prof, Larson couldn't possibly keep from
