One Large Court House, Not Four Dinkies.
We note the Argosy of Ansley
last week had a notice request
ing subscriptions of $4,000 to
build court house at Ansley in
case the question of division car
rles. The Argosy suggests that
the other quarters of the county
will raise similar amounts at the
three prospective county seats.
Conceeding that such amounts
would be subscribed and paid it
only proves the contention of
anti-divisionists that it will cost
more than twice as much to run
four counties than it will to run
one covering the same territory.
The proposition to put 100000
in four court houses is twice the
amount required to build a court
house at Broken Bow adequate
to accommodate the officers and
records of the entire county,
while as a matter of fact is
nearly three times the amount
asked by the five mill levy to re-
build the court house at Broken
Bow.
What is true of the admission
of the needs of the four proposed
counties would prove true of the
general expenses Of four counties
over that of one county.
Admitting for arguments sake
that the four prospective county
seats would meet the first ex-
pense with taxing for it. No
one would claim for a moment
that they would meet the gener-
al expense from year to year that
would be necessary to maintain
the county government. The
extra expense that it would cost
each year for four counties woult
have to be borne by the tax pay
ers. Instead of being an annually
five mill levy as asked this yea
to rebuild the court house i
would be four or five times tha
much annually. Not for one yea
only but for all time.
AS not only a matter of gener
al interest to the greatest mum
ber of tax payers but as a matte
of perpetual economy the fiv
mill levy should be voted and
suitable building provided fo
the county's use of which n
; citizen need be ashamed.

Five Mill Levy can only be Construed
to mean on the Assessed Valua'
ton.
CAM RAISE ONLY $4,000

Since the special election has been
called the report has gained wide
circulation that this levy of five
mills for a court house would be
made on the actual valuation instead
OF the assessed valuation, which is
one fifth of the actual value, and
that instead of this levy raising
$50, 900 as contemplated, it would
raise five times that amount. This
positively could not be the case. The
Chief publishes a letter from Silas
A Holcomb, bearing on the matter
MIR. Holcomb served as District Judge
of this district and after completing
two terms as Governor of Nebraska
was Judge of the Supreme Court OF
Nebraska for six years and the Chief
Justice of that body. His thousands
OF friends over Custer county will
no doubt accept his statement with
the same approval that his work in
all walks of public life have brought
