The SPECIAL ELECTION.
The Carnegie Proposition Thoroughly
Set Forth.

1t appears that some of our peo-
pile have wrong idea as to the
object of the special election.
This election is not for. the pur-
pose Of voting bonds. There is
no provision of the law under
whichia city may vote bonds for a
free library. The real question to
be voted upon is the acceDtance or
rejection of the gift of $12,50O
to our people BY Mr. Carnegie.
The law provides that before a
free public library and reading
room can be established the ques-
ton must first be submitted to a
vote of the people. If that vote
is favorable the Mayor and City
Council then appoint a library
board, composed of thirteen resi-
dents of the city. chosen at large
from their fitness for the work.
and the whole matters then car
ried forward by this board. They
select the site, adopt the plans for
the building and manage the enter
prise. No individual. no clique
or faction and run the business.
1t is controlled entirely by this
public board chosen by the public
officials of the city.
This library board can not issue
bonds or levy any tax. The
board simply handles the funds
turned over to it for library pur-
poses. These funds may arise
from gifts or from a tax levy.
The $12,5OO offered by Mr..
Carnegie is a gift. pure and sim
pie and will cover the cost of the
building aud equipments. Other
gifts may follow. Miss Heller
Gould frequently contributes
literally with books and it is the
privilege of any one to make
donations. The Women's Clubs
and other auxiliaries usually assist
in the maintenance of the library
The tax levy that may be made
from time to time is made by the
Mayor and City Council. Under
the law they may levy not to ex-
coed three mills for this purpose
! Judging by the experience of
other cities now maintaining such
a library a levy of less than two
mills will be sufficient
The average home in Great
Bend is valued for taxation of the
tax rolls at about $500. A levy
of two mills on this valuation
would mean just sixty cents ad
ditional tax per year for the hom
owner. The cost to any individ
ual will be so small that it vii
not be felt. The benefits are free
to all alike. tax payer or no ia,
payer. The experience of other
cities ought to be worth some
thing. 1t is the testimony of al
our neighboring towns that hav
tried the free library for severa
, years, that they are a great sue
cess, literally patronized by al
classes. of nominal expense OIL
to the people and that they woulc
not do without the library fc
many times its cost. Let u
bear in mind. then, that this
not a bond election but an ele,
ton to determine whether we wi
accept a gift of $12.5OO to estab
lish a free library and readin
room. at the same time agreein
that we will thereafter maintai
IT.

Prom the Salina Journal.

car shortage. Some of them state
that it is due to lack of proper
terminal facilities: some think it
is due to g lack Of rolling stock
and others are confident that the
Soie cause lies in tbs scarcity of
engines to pull what rolling stock
the companies have
When the doctors fail to pro-
perly diagnose che case, the
patient is usually considered in a
precarious condition, and the
doctors are at sea regarding the
situation in this particular case.
However, they all argee on this
one important point-that some
thing is wrong. Having reached
tina, conclusion, the railroad
managers may set about now to
discover what that something
happens to be.
One idea advanced is that the
roads have plenty of cars but they
are tied up at Galveston where
the elevator capacity only equals
about four hundred cars per day
and that several thousand cars OF
wheat are waiting there to be un
loaded.
Before the interstate commerce
commission in Kansas City a few
days ago it was stated that one
trouble contributing to the car
shortage was the fact that the
railroads used .heir stock cars fol
other purposes than the transpor.
tation of that class of freight, but
this affects only the live stock in
dustry while the car shortage ex
lists in every class of freight cars
Recently the Journal published
news item in which it was STATED
that a man moving from Blue
Mound, in Linn county. to Ingalls,
in Gray county, had been waitin!

There is doubtless reason in on
claim made by the railroads, an(
that is that the volume of bushes

enormous proportions that tn
railroads are unable to handle

This feature of the car famin
will be relieved after the heav

This is a big country, and tn
railroads have failed to keep pac

of railroads in the matter of in
