Tax Revenue and County Government.

The Central Wisconsin, paper pub
lished in Marathon county publishes entire
our review Of the acts Of the Grant Coun
ty Board, affirming that our article exactly
fits the irregular State Of affairs in that
county, that hardly any part thereof misses
the mark. Several other papers also pub
lish the article in whole or part as an ex-
PLANTATION Of the laws for collecting taxes
and the penalties for non-tax paying 10
force in our State.
The Darlington, La Fayette county, ~
dependent thus notices our review Of the
Board
"Our Grant county contemporary is pur-
suing vigorous warfare against the form
er and present County Board Of Grant
county. We are unable to learn the cause
of the difficulty, and will not express our
opinion Of the merits of The controversy.
We mention il only to express the gratiii-
cation ii affords in perusing his essay upon
our system Of county government. He
exhibits tact III special pleading and IA
miliarity with the laws and particpl0r
customs Of Tie system rarely to be met
with IN the corps editorial"
The Prairie du Chen Courier publishes
our lengthy article entire, and notices as
follows -
"As we have had good occasion to know
that anything and everything relating 70
taxes is Of great interest to our readers,
and that they are always DESTROYS Of being
kept posted in regard thereto. we therefore
publish an article from the Grant County
Herald which contains many facts worth
knowing. 1t will pay property-owners
even in Crawford comfy to read the whole
article. State laws are made to be OBJ
served and equally for the benefit and
protection of Tie resident farmer as the
SPECTATOR But the article will give fair
idea Of how the laws may be ignored, and
rich men fdrored at The expense Of the
public"
So far as swea now, none 81 the papels
alluded 70 have any interest depending up
on the issue Of these questions, and arc
therefore presumed 10 speak with candor.

vest their surplus earnings IN improve
ments rather than in supporting money
lenders all ever the country. We propose
that by such reversed order the men now
supported BY the follies Of interest payers
shall be either set to work or led to invest
their money in farm or other property, IN
some way SO as to beget demand for Ia
Dor and production. Our argument pro
poses that the land POOR, interest paying
poor and tax paying poor shall be eman-
cipated and held only for their own sup
port These men work hard and virtually
give away the proceeds Of their labor to
MONEY lenders, tax consumers and land
jobbers. They persist in Icing sold ont
by the sheriff now and then thus shift
inc from debt ridden property into state
Of demoralized poverty, dishonesty, per-
haps, and loss Of confidence in men and
God.
For several forthcoming months men Of
means viii probably want to invest IN good
farm property as the best way to cheaper
taxation; for farm property will be nearly
exempted from war tax. Now, then, is
the time to cancel these interest consuming
bts-these voluntary taSations. Credit
ors, mortgage holders, will soon move q
the right direction, seeing they can do no
better. Lands will be low; but better
time may not appear very soon for getting
rid Of surplus land.
