WELD TAX SALE
UNUSUALLY TAME

With but one outside bidder pres
ent. and only three or four local
men who desired to get hold OF Weld
county property by tax title pur-
chase at the county treasurer's Office
Saturday. one OF the quietest tax
sales known for years was conducted
iby County Treasurer Patterson.
The Kidd firm OF Denver which
has been represented at every tax
sale for many years. was the outside
representative, and Lambert, its rep
resentative. was the largest purchas-
ler. his check paid to the treasurer
after the sale for land selected by
him being of over 100000, while
the local bidders picked out isolated
pieces of farm land or town proper
ty. as they desired during the sale.
none purchasing heavily as in former
years.
With so few present there seemed
to be little conflict OF desire and
there was practically no bidding. the
property being knocked down to
those who purchased 1t at the reg
ular legal rate allowed on such sales,
in practically every instance.
Although the sale was not largely
attended. the county had very little
OF the property left on its hands. as
most OF 1t was sold. However, the
sale did not represent nearly as
many pieces as was desired. as a
large number Of property owners
came In after the appearance OF the
advertisement and paid the tax and
penalty assessed against their hold
ings.
1t was the least exciting tax sale
ever held IN Grecley.-Greeley Trib-
une.

have promoted national efficiency BY
superior educational system. We
may detest German principles. But
we have got TO compete with them In
the world. and we must not permit
them to beat US in any legitimate
competition.
Our young people have no concep-
ton OF the way the German young
folks are drilled through the school.
II Is a disgrace there for a student
to fail to get high marks. The pres
sure applied to school children is so
severe that there are many suicides
among the pupils.
II can readily be believed under the
German system, that the children
leave school with a better scholastic
equipment than is given in this coun-
try. The highly centralized authority
would not tolerate the poor schools
that exist in many of our localities.
German boys not fitted for literary
study would be assigned to more tech.
nical tasks. But whatever they under
took would be we'll and thoroughly
done. What can we do in our country
and at home here in Elko to secure
equally thorough work. without re-
sorting to the harsh seventies of the
German system?
Elko independent. [volume] (Elko, Nev.) 1915-current, 1918-04-20

became interested in It. Popular In
ertia could not be overcome. Most OF
US laughed at II as a mere deception.
1t might have taken twenty years to
convert the mass OF the people to the
idea. But in war time 1t comes al.
most without effort.
Take the giving OF money to philan.
thropies. II is easier TO get 100000
today for the Red Cross than it used
to be to get 100000 70. the most
useful and necessary philanthropic
cause in our country. This is partly
because he need for this work Is uni
versally manifest. Yet there have been
many of our good causes in previous
years that should appea Ito everyone.
Probably the reason for the change
Is that the spirit OF sacrifice is in the
air. We are all deeply impressed by
the heroism of the soldiers. That
makes people ashamed to sit at home
and count their dollars. It would
seem as If this greater openness OF
heart should continue after the war.
Let us hope our people have learned a
lesson, and from now on will be
ashamed just to grasp and get, and
never give to help suffering and re-
move ignorance.
We have all known that congress
distributed favors on a pork basis.
Also that the departments were
strangled in a network of restricting
red tape. But no one party or group
of statesmen had energy or courage
or determination or power enough to
root out these evils. When war time
comes, the people demand efficiency
at once. The man or the group or
party that does not get II has to 90.
If we can only carry this spirit into
the time of reconstruction after the
war, the losses we have to face will
not be wholly in vain.

WAR PROBLEMS
BREAKING THE LINE

Much disappointment las been ex.
pressed that the strategic reserve ar.
my under Gen. Foch did not at once
hit back before the Germans had any
time to intrench on their new line.
There was a period of open warfare
for few dayst when a powerful blow
on one OF their flanks might have
achieved a tremendous success. The
Germans then had not brought I'D the
heavy artillery.
That time has now passed and the
Germans are every day strengthen
ing their new positions. Already IL
will take a considerable artillery at
tack to dislodge them. Whether or
not such an attack would have been
successful, is a question OF little prac-
tical value just now.
The Germans have thoroughly DEM
onstrated one thing. That is that the
entire trench line can be broken if
you get a sufficient strength OF artil-
lery over a sufficiently wide front.
The British and French attacks here
tofore did not have sufficient artill-
cry preparation TO break the whole
trench line. They did not dig deep
enough into the zone OF defense to de.
molish the rear trenches. They did
not destroy all the rear trenches.
They did not destroy all the innumer-
able concrete shelters where the Ger
mans had posted machine gunners.
And they did not cover a front so
wide that the German reserves could /.
not rush in on the new salient and nip |
II off in their "pincers' attack.
The lesson OF this fighting seems to |
be clear. that when the allies take |
their inning, they must have an ar
tillery concentration superior to any
thing they have had yet The Ger. |
mans had the advantage OF all the !
guns captured from the Russians and
the Italians. Now they have probably |
500 guns captured from the British
too.
The United States must help pro
vide this great artillery concentration. I!
Our big gun factories and our shell
factories must be speeded TO the limit /
to help provide a tremendous superior
ity in artillery, so that the line can be !
broken over a big area.

NATIONAL EFFICIENCY

1t is generally admitted that the
German people are the most efficient
in the world. Everything they at
tempt is carried out with thorough
ness that does not exist in our ma.
tional life. 1t is big question for us
here in our home community how far
we are securing efficiency in our in
dustrial, educational and municipal
organization.
We shall not attempt to turn daily
life into military discipline. Our peo-
pie can not be ordered around by an
autocratic authority like so many
submissive menials. Democracy will
have TO find some other way of pro-
noting efficiency.
Intensely as we abhor the German
ideas 1t has been admitted that thew
