NOT ENOUGH MONEY
TO GO AROUND
The County Court of Lincoln County
te going to be short of money this year
In spite of anything they can do. Un
der the law they can Increase their
levy but six per cent over the pro

comes the state and asks for consider- .
able more than twice as much money
us it did the year before. If ilie Court
turns over to the state according to
Its demand, then there will be nothing
left to put on the roads or to build
bridges, if they don't pay the state
tax, then what will happen? T ? Some
body answer qulckj
Anyhow the Court sure lias a l-lg
problem on their bands, and we don't
