But the neighbOrs seemed unwilling TO take any

The next is the favor of few words with YOU

COUNTY OPTION

So much has been said OF
county option that is false and
misleading that many of our
voters are confused as TO the
issue.
The democratic candidates
who are not brave enough to
tell the voters where they stand
on the question are never the
less trying to make political
capital by saying, county OPP
ton means prohibition" This
statement, false as it is, is be-
ing urged in the hopes of elect
ing a democratic ticket by re-
publican notes.
County option means the
right granted to farmers to vote
on questions of government.
County option means that
every man who pays taxes shall
have the right to vote on the
question as to how his tax mon
ey shall be- expended.
Local option means that the
tax payers of the city only shall
vote.
We have had local option in
Falls City ever since it has been
a city and from its organization
until now Falls City has never
been a prohibition town. Local
option has not meant prohibi-
ton.
County option is local option
enlarged, that is to say, it
means that the taxpayers of
the county shall be given the
right to vote as we'll as the tax
payers of the city.
In a single criminal case tried
in Falls City within the last
The Falls City tribune., 1908-10-30

year the couft costs paid by the
tax payers of the county
amounted to more than 81, 100.
The tax payers of Falls City
paid S197 Of the costs Of this
case and received $1,000 from
the saloons as license money.
In other words the tax payers
of Falls City received about $40
for every dollar in tax paid.
The farmer paid $1,000 of the
tax and received nothing.
If the farmers pay the tax,
why should they not be given
the right to vote on the ques-
ton?
The republican legislative
ticket is in favor the Of farmer
being given the right to vote.
The democratic ticket is
against it.
Il any farmer wants to pay
his taxes without voting on the
question the democrat ticket
offers him the chance.
If he wants a voice in the eX-
penditure of his money the re
publican ticket offers him the
chance.

COUNTY OPTION RALLY
Interesting Mass Meeting Address
ed by LOCAL Speakers

A mass meeting was arranged
by the Ministerial Association
of this city for Sunday afternoon
to meet in the interest of Coun-
ty option. \ good crowd at the
court house, but through some
misunderstanding the room was
not heated so tie faithful ones
repaired to the NJ. E. church.
Earl Lemon, owing to serious
illness in his family, was unable
to be present, which was a dis
appointment, as he was one of
the principal speakers, but very
interesting talks were given by
Mr.. Beattie of Lincoln, and V.
G.. Lyford and Sam Lichty of
this city, each one presenting
convincing arguments upon the
good to DE derived from county
option.
In the evening, as prearrang-
ed, the several ministers OF the
city exchanged pulpits, where
again this great issue was taken
up. Much interest was mani
tested at each meeting, all feel
sure that a great deal of good
will be the result.

Nebraska farms and Nebraska
farm products are high priced
now under republican rule. Bry-

condition, for there would be a
period of doubt and uncertainty
during which industry would
lag and food prices and land
