What Would II Cost You?

The proposal to build high school
building in Raymer brings to the front
the question of what the effect would
be on taxes.
Il goes without saying that ii would
cost something. all good things do. Is
II worth what it will cost and can we
afford it?
This school district has s692, $40 of
taxable property. Each mill Of tax
will yield s692 of school money.
A mill tax will add 81 to each 81, 600
of your valuation. This year your tax
was about SIS per thousand valuation.
Three mills additional ought to cover
the additiona! running expense for rea-
sonable high school work. One mill
would pay the interest on the bonds
needed to build good building. This
means then that high school in Ray
mer would cost you about 81 more per
thousand Of your taxable valuation
to maintain high school. 1t might
increase taxes slightly over what they
nave been, but not much, for our tax
has been held high TO get our debts
paid and that il now accomplished.
/ The cost Of building would have to
be met by a bond issue. That would
be true If we waited for ten years. 1t
is seldom that any district will vote a
tax sufficient to build sucn a building
in one year tt would make a terrible
burden for that year., neither would
+ we care to tax ourselves in advance to
pile up surplus Clearing no interest
and deposited in the banks To build
with at some future time.
+ II Is certain that high school when
it comes will have to come by bonding.
Are we ready for il row? DO we need
II now? Can We do it now? The now
is the question. Is il better To tackle
the job now or wait? Some day it will
: come. What do we gain by waiting!
We will save that mill tax. 1t viii
mean 81, 800 to the railroad company,
4 perhaps s. to Mr.. Peckham, about the
samQ to the editor and possibly three
times as much to the heaviest tax pay
er in the district We think that es-
innate high.
/ 1t seems to Us that the advantages
will outweigh the cosr even for the
man without children in the added val
ue to his property, while for the one
who feels that he must school his chill
dren there is no question about the
economy of the matter. The returns
to him are many fold
1t means more. 1t means a chance
for an education placed within the
reach of some child that would other
wise have 10 so without.
II We tackle the thing, we want to
see II broad enough TO he good or wait
until We can build well. Ii we do de-
eide to build, we would like to see il
Unanimous. We favored county divis-
ion, but We do want any community or
school division. It's unity and harmo-
ny that viii make good schools and Il
good community. That's what we all
want.

Home Again

Here we ara again for another pull
at The Enterprise. We are glad to
get back to Raymer. glad to grasp the
strong hands and look into the clear
eyes Of the people who live here.
You have made us feel that you are
almost as glad to see US as we are to
be here.
We certainly appreciate the warm
welcome received on every hand. 1t
makes Us wish that our ability and
power could be multiplied many fold
for service in building up The Enter
prise so that ii could tell far and wide
the story of eastern Weld County, its
opportunities and its needs.
Raymer looks better than ever to us.
Prospects never looked better for this
section. After hearing Of the troubles
bt other sections and learning what
other people of other places in Colora-
do have to contend with, we want to
say with all earnestness and and all
sincerity that when you get rich on the
dry land, you will have plenty of op-
portuuity TO 60 and spend your wealth
in other parts of the world, and some
Of them are within a days ride OF
Raymer. that is if the roads are good
and you have Tin Ford" that is in
reasonable condition.
In the mean time boost fol Raymer.
If we tell it half as good as it is, we
will he called an enthusiast; if We tell
" as good as ii is we will be accused Of
worse. However, VIC can afford to en-
dure the smiles of our friends in the ir-
igated section. Our time to smile is
1T hand and ours will be the kind that
'siil not come of.
Yes we're home again and glad of it,.
We have not learned what, ii any
thing, was done at the Grover meeting
We notice it is mentioned in some pa
pers rs protest against the State Tax
Commission. We fail to gather such a
purpose in reading the call that we
saw. IL seemed to US to Indicate more
purpose to try and secure a more
equitable assessment between indiyid-
uals IN each community and also be-
tween the different communities. II
We we're to make a guess we would
say that taxes are not likely to grow
less. You don't want them to be less.
II we are to judge from the things you
ask for. If you want schools, roads,
court houses and asylums for the in.
sane, We have got to pay for them,
Some one has 10 pay il. Ii one es-
fapes the others must make it UP. Ii
Is just AS wrong to dodge your taxes
as It is tn steal. The dry land country
does not wish TO dodge Il penney Of it,

The dry land has got the worst of it.
There IS belief that in this section

ly as good rs ours, goes in at Sc and
$3.50 per acre for both cultivated and

opinion it is very important that the
people know the facts rather than rI-
mors. II proven facts show such dis.

London. May G.-The German Off

the Russians in western Galicia and
over the British to the east of Ypres
in FLANDERS. Field Marshal Sir John
French the British commanderin-
chief. admitted that he was compelled
to retreat and readjust his lines in the
region of Ypres. but the French com
munication, far from confirming Ger
man victory in Belgium, states that the
German attacks were repulsed and
that the Germans. being taken on the
flank by French artillery, suffered
very severely.
A late report from the British war
office also says that German attacks
were repulsed, although the Germans
used asphyxiating gases and did get Il
footing by the use of these fumes on
hill No. 60. southeast OF Ypres, which,
since the British captured it recently.

British claim to have recaptured these
positions.
