Consider The Nebraska Hen

The State Bureau of Labor and In.
dustrial statistics estimates the poultry
products of Nebraska at forty three
million dollars in 1911. The secretary
of agriculture estimates the total OF
poultry products for the United States
at seven hundred hfty millions in the
same year. Poultry statistics are ditfi.
cult to obtain accurately, but it is evi.
dent that Nebraska stands close to the
first place In the relative importance Of
her poultry products.
That the poultry of Nebraska ia of
some Importance 10 verified by the fact
that the assessment of hens returned
BY the county assessors In 1910 Is over
four times MS much as all the diamonds
found In the state, half as much as all
the pianos, ten times as much as all
the cash registers, nine times as much
as all the safes and $4,000 more than
all the steam engines.
The helpful hen is one Of the prime
factors In reducing the high cost oi
living; the family with a few dozen
hens, we'll kept, need not worry abou,
the meat problem. The busy biddies
OF Nebraska are hustling her grea,
herds of swine for first place In i'm

great majority. There was left nothing the board could do but rea6iust the water rates, or let the interest accumulate, and pile up a deficit to be met by the property upon which the mortgage given to secure the bond issue is lien, Were they to follow the latter named plan they would have every taxpayer in the town feeling very dismally. To raise the water rates would have the same effect upon the rate payers. There was where the board were "between the horns of a dilemma" between the devil and deep blue sea-" The board thought it the part of wisdom to increase the water rates, and they have done so.
 But the way they have done so has made decidedly disagreeable situation. Most serious objection has arisen against the sliding scale adopted by the board, as shown in these columns. The cry is that the burden is put upon the poor, and that it has been frightened or made easier for the rich. Now, THE OASIS is in no way an apolo- gist for the town board nor is 1t under any obligation to defend their action in any way whatsoever. But, in all frankness, is not that the rule in all the commercial world? Does not the man who buys a sack of sugar at any grocery get that commodity at far less price per pound than the man who takes only single pound? Doei not a carload of hay come cheaper in proportion than ton, and tor
The oasis., 1912-10-19

likewise cheaper in proportion than single bale? There cannot be named commodity used by mankind wherein the rule of trade set forth above does not apply. Then why should the family who use but one hundred and fifty gal Ions of water per month expect to have it delivered at the same price per gallon as that which uses fifteen thousand? And there is another point there: the consumer who uses fifteen thousand gallons per month is in such financial situation, prob ably, that he can sink well, erect a windmill and supply himself with water, which if he does reduces the revenue of the water depart ment by the sum he is willing to pay, and makes larger the monthly deficit the small or moderate user is compelled to carry. The poor man cannot get from under the burden: the rich man can. and if it be made heavier than one he may assume by turn in another direction, he will stand from under.
 The foregoing shows quite clearly why the town had to change the water rates, and why it had to adopt sliding scale for assessing the rates. Now the question is whether the new rates will bring sufficient revenue to carry the cost of operation of the water system and the interest account. Unless they do there will have to be another raise or the deficit will have to be met by adding it to the tax roll. That will cause deal of dissatisfaction in another direction. And beyond all, to be considered yet in coming years and by other town boards is the question of pro- viding a sinking fund to pay the water bonds at maturity. They have twenty years to run, and there are $120,OOO to be paid, which amounts to $6,000 per annum:$50O per month. The longer there is deferred the time for start ing such sinking fund the more
 per annum and per month it will
 be when started. And if the water
 service cannot realize the money
 there will have to be taxation to
 do it.

POLITICIANS BATTLE
FOR MONROE COUNTY
Fight is on in Earnest for Con-
troll of District in No
vember Elections

MONROE. Mich. Oct, l4.-With the
latest issue OF the two local papers
the political campaign In Monroe
county begins TO assume shape. The
portraits OF the candidates OF both
the Democratic and Republican part
les are printed with such biographi-
cal matter as is supposed TO be most
effectual to recommend them to the
good graces OF the voters OF the
county.
The progressive party has no organ
in the county and consequently It's
candidates are TO that extent handi-
capped. The Republicans have as
yet not opened their headquarters.
but the Democrats have secured
rooms in the Chamber of Commerce
building. and from now until election
Gay these headquarters will be kept
open continuously for the meeting
Of the county committee and the dis
tribution OF campaign literature. A
large democratic poster adorns the
outside OF the building and the win
dows are placarded with Democratic
standard bearers.
Monroe county for many years one
OF the strongholds OF Democracy, dur
ing the last two or three campaigns
has slipped over the boarder and gone
Republican by a comfortable major
ity; the present county officers, ex-
cepting one, being of that political
faith. The National Progressive tic
ket in the field. have hopes OF filling
some of the county offices of their
faith
The candidates of both parties, Re-
publican and Democrats. are practic-
ally making a house to house canvass
in the county. having divided II ineo
districts and are pushing through re-
gardless OF the weather.
The Republicans will open the cam
paign Monday evening, Oct. IA, at
Temperance, with George H. Mann.
of Detroit, as the principal speaker.
The first speaker OF the Democrats
will be Harry McMaster. OF New York,
at Frenchtown. Friday evening, Oct.
Is. Woodbridge n. Ferris. candidate
for governor. and Alfred Lucking. can
didate for United States senator, will
speak at Monroe. Monday evening,
Oct. 21.
