Show THE SCHOOL BONDS ELECTION in analyzing the results of 01 the school chool bonds bond election held tuesday of last act week meek some xen er peculiar things occur to the mina of hirn him nici from symptom and eff effects acts tries to ding roe ro e the cau cause e that monel mone is needed to keep up the standard of our schools is admitted bl b everrod ever bod we will tn to get to the bottom of things thing and find out mh vav then them in pite pile of 01 the recognized fact that money is ceded the question of bonds or no bonds was nas so overwhelmingly ansu answered ered in the negative fai ast t of all it seems like voters evler hale haie ocen irritated and frightened bl bi the huge amount asked for had the carefully careful lv read the explanation of the I 1 card ther would mould hane hae oer overcome come fright and irritation syien would arse me seen that while chile the um sum that v vas to be doted ted on is iq large it is iq in no mav eti aarant th explanation kind had been sent cent to ever tax adaer UD but it clearly clearl appears that onh a small mall proportion of them has ba read it short catch phrases slog ns appeal to the mac masses maces es much more than lengths v ant nt ten or oral communications so it was az in the case of th bond election also alo perhaps those in dwor of 01 the bonds made a mistake not to adopt nv slogans slogan those opposed did no let us look at their slogans the first shout and a ian er efficient one was nas we are oNer overburdened burdened with v ith taxes tamez what this thin sl slogan agan sas ans is only too true ahat made it so CO efficient because not only the farmers but all of us arp are reain and truly and undeniably taxed heal yet it looks to us that in spite of henni taxes me e are sr spending lending a good deal of monel mone on all kind hind of aunes and this again applies to all ail of tt us the farmers farmer included what bould le ie the amount the taxpayer had to spend had he noted doted for the bond the splendidly written article bubli published bed in opposition to the lends londa by the farm bureau tates states that orill fw fv farmers are acce assessed ed for alps than fine ne thousand dollars lt lat us agree then on at the county countes coun tys present assessed valuation alua tion it had taken 1 95 a i icar for aery thousand dollars dollar assessed to pay the bonds both irin ann opal and entert int ert and the average tappers tap aers if v e take the aver age the count county tre treasurers treasur auzers ers loo ks chow the era er considerably lower would hae had to pal pa 1975 a year to pal pa off principal and interest of the bonds nov show how me the tapa ta er assessed for 5 r abo vho is not able to pay ten dollars a ear for the education of ill his children from this thic it appears appear that the slogan overburdened tax taxes as applied to the school bond question is the bunk 11 another slogan bogan used during the campaign is is pay as you go very fine indeed if it can ie done but can it be done for the answer look at the note repository of adv bank in the books of any merchants at the liability sheet of dry any big and prosperous corporation would rockefeller have built up MR his im immense mene fortune without first going into debt would we ve hae hac won the war aar without going into debt deaf or to consider things nearer to home provided a farmer 1 oid did not have seeds and mone to buy I 1 them it be wiser to bo bortow borrow the money buy seed and pay up after the crops are harvested than than to adhere to the doctrine of pay as you go not to buy any seed and not to i aae haie any crop in the fall falp another reason given for noting ting against the bond was mas the tremendous amount of in etere t accruing during the twenty lear gears of the life of the bonds bond admitted that this amount about is harfe but after all it represent onla aa percent on the mono borrowed borro ned now try to go to any bank in the united states and borrow monel at at percent these there and similar milar arguments were ere gien in the articles bubli published hed in opi option to the bonds and after analysis the unbiased oberer mut must see that the do not hold good thi leads to the conclusion that the op I 1 orients either were lere bia biased ed or had reasons for noting against the bonds adich they did not care to hae bae published and there ve me think me ae come a little nearer to the real anu cause e it II was the human element that imponderable de rable that human equation that defeated the bond hurt ambitions the desire to show hom ones power to influence flu nce the mases and clam ni n alry and jea jealousy louRy take for instance the case cafe of redmond v voting three for and eighty agam against t red lied nond one should think ought to be interested in the salma salina high school and net et redmond edmond li noted oer nearly unanimously against the bond bonds the lions hare of which milich would hae cone to salina we tried to find out why by and were told that redmond people argued haing three empty rooms in their school building and are proposing to fians port salina and aurora ni nigh b school student when crowded out of the salina high school chool building to red mond did ou ever hear bear of an anything more impossible 7 or how hom did it happen that the opponents of the issue in salina mut mustered ered 61 votes against the bonds ni III spite of the fact that the largest parcel ef cf the bond 14 would bat hai e egone gone to salina well vas as the answer time ve do not nant ant richfield and monroe to get ani atil thing out of the bond mone because the dont need it 0 0 ve me noted against again st t the V whole hole shooting hooting match net et venice with a

being u e ing koo harem the voters of this town tonn knew that thel the could not get a zingle single blooming cent out of the tax ta monel but the do not nure jealousies and clani ahne s the are fair
