That the taxes from the railroads
in Lincoln county amount to a neat
sum every year can not be questioned.
The amount they pay aggregates
sum that means Something. Last Sat
urday the Frisco attorneys paid over
to County Treasurer Elliott tho sum
of $4,65282. As attorneys for the
Santa Fe they planked down $3,e6S77.
We poor duifers who have to dig up
the small amor1t OF s25 for something
like that feei like bowling to beat the
band. but the railroads hand over the
money and say nothing. 1t is only fair
to presume that they have knowledge
OF the satisfaction that they can make
IL back easily and that proporsionately
they are as much better on than we
as we are compared TO paupers.
