Taxes and School Bonds.

Omaha, Oct. Ito the Editor Of
The Bee: The school board asks
for 100000 for its building rro-
gram. A mere trifle! There are
not over $4,000 taxpayers in the
district. This extra burden would
fall upon them alone.
Who cares? The taxpayer is en-
titled to no sympathy. He is not en-
titled to hold property, He should
divide with those who have none.
He can take care of himself, at
least
The war-tax burden is appalling.
Add to it the increasing taxes le-
We'd by state, county, city and school
district, and we have total that
is staggering!
Is the school board ignorant Of
these figures? Has 1t the nerve to
make an exhibit showing the grand
total of taxes levied and the per
capita tax?
Twice before this the school
board asked for a bond issue for a
technical school building and the
plea was granted. Was the money
diverted to other purposes? If so,
by what authority Of law?
BY the way, isn't it time to try
to stop imposing extra tax burdens
upon the people? They now ap-
proach the point Of confiscation.
But, after all, who cares? Isn't
it fact that all the wealth of
Douglas county taxpayers should
be cut up and parceled out to all
the people? The sooner the taxing
power confscates it for the public
benefit the sooner we shall reach
the socialistic millennium!

Fireman's Wife Writes.

Omaha, Sept. SOTO the Editor
of The Bee: l was indeed glad to
note that in a recent issue of your
paper one reader signing himself

as '1azy loafers," such as many citi-
zens co.
However, in naming over the ex-
penditures of a fireman he did not
nane all. For instance a certain
amount is deducted each month
from his salary for the Firemen's
and Policemen's Benefit associa-
ton. Also each man must furnish
his own sheets pillow cases, blan-
kets or comforts, spread and pillow
sham, and which, we all know, do
not wear forever. It might do some
people good to visit an engine house
md take look into their sleeping
compartments. You might be really
surprised and for the moment
imagine you were in hospital from
the spotless, sanitary surroundings.

No High Pressure Nor
High Prices

This Store is to serve people by steady service
at their pleasure, and, having its manfestly large
outlet it goes along in regular way, not getting
the highest prices possible at the beginning of
the season, that sale can be made at low price
at the end of the season. thus getting an averag
of the high and low tides of buyers.
We have frequently found that goods ex-
travagantly advertised to close out had never
been sold here at rates higher than those named
as great bargains.
Fair prices to begin with sell good goods, and
we sell them out and constantly keep our stocks
replenshed with fresh goods.
Some stores have some pieces of house ar
, tcles which for years they have marketed under
another name at considerably higher prices than
we sell for.
Justice and Honor will make large, steady
business of large outlets for merchandise. High
prices at any time and sensationalism are
avoided.

The anticipated expenses for the

The utmost that can be raised by tax

seems to be approximately $1S2,776,

$4,000.
This is going to be far from easy.
and naturally the administration is not
looking forward with any great pleas

thousand dollars extra expense later
in the year.
