More than 5000 Douglas county
citizens have been notified to ap.
pear before the county board OF
equalization, sitting in the court
house, to show cause why their
tax assessments should not be high

"The work before the board
seems almost endless" said County
Clerk Frank Dewey, who is one OF
the board members.
IF the people realized what a
raise in their assessment means,
many of them couldn't take the time
to come up and the boards work

Shows Who Gets ihe Money

When you buy beef steak that costs
80 cents a pound, the natural thought
is, "Who gets the money!" Dislrl-
button OF the dollar received from meat
and meat products and something Of
the retailers causes for the prices
which he must charge in order 30 real
ize living profit, are shown in the
1919 Year Book Issued by Siwtf and
Company.
The Swift dollar, as illustrated gives
a graphic description Of the money
which the packer received in 1918 from
sales Of beef, pork and mutton, and
their by-products From the amount
left for profit It is stated that federal
taxes and interest on borrowed mon
ey are mol deducted
1T will be seen from the diagram" "
says the Year Book, "that during 1918
Swift and Company paid out for live
animals IS per cent. Of all money re-
ceived from the sale Of meats and by
products that 1891 per cent went for
expenses OF packing, freight to dis
trlbuting points all over the United
States, operation OF branch houses, and
even delivery 10 the retailer, and that
the profit was 203 per cent. Swift and
Company would be glad TO know OF
any other system or method or organ
ization Of the packing Industry which
can result in a higher price OF live
stock raisers and a lower price in the
sale Of meats.
"To analyze our cattle figures still
further, we present the following flg-
uTes which give the average amount
paid per head Of cattle during 1918 as
well as the receipts. expenses and pro-
