ate counsel are retained TO collect evidence
TO aid in the investigation.
There are two memorials, each of which
is sworn TO by The parties familiar With the
allegations. and each memorial has fer the
basis of the charges preferred, exhibits or
records attached, all certified under the
seal of Judge Mller's own court. Thus it
will be seen the charges do not rest upon
bare allegations Of individuals hut upon
the court records themselves. Upon those
in the main he must stand or fall. OF
course other matters than those directly
embraced in the memorials are not pre-

Taxes Another Year.


Il now appears that a great error was
committed last year by the State authori
lies in not leyying a sufficient tax revenue
for all accommodating State expenses, ineIud-
ing the bounty expense for soldiers fa,ni-
lies. We suppose the State authorities are
partly excusable for the blnnder, inasmuch
as some doubts then existed as 10 whether
the war would continue ill even this day.
But the hazard should have been in favor
of the creditors and needy families and at
the expense Of the public. The day has
surely gon. by for levying small taxes for
great emergencies as a matter of economy.
Next year we shall have. or ought to have.
u State tax three times above what is levi
ed for this year; and in case of any false
meaning process by which the tax is
held down below real requirements, the
public will only fare the worse in the end.
The State il just like an individual man,
or joint company Of men. When man
or company appropriates large sums and
fails 10 raise the money, there 10 vastly
more lost than gained by the failure. Bet
Tor 10 live within an income--at least, bet
ter to provide large income before making
heavy outgo.
The taxes next year will be heavy, a.
they ought to be in justice to the public.
Take single case: say there are 1000
Towns in the State, and that each has lev
led home bounty Of 800 for recruits,
and that there are upon an average ten
recruits to be raised for each Town. The
total will be ten millions of dollars. True.
some towns pay no bounties, but then
there arc others that pay 5000 recruit
And since these appropriations have been
voted. it were better TO pay them prompt
II by tax and without borrowing, than to
borrow and put off the evil day to day
Of distress. Ten millions Of dollars can be
paid easier as times now are than q tenth
so much five years ago.
We venture q statement OF the proba-
BE tax Of Grant County next year. For
say 400 recruits al SI25 each, amounting
to $50, for ali other tax At least rs
much more. Now as The total tax hasis il
80, DOC. 600 in the county, two per cent.
would yisld $4,000, or something above
or estimate. But the per, cent. will be
heavier likh two per cent. upon some towns
anil lighter dDoh others--the proportion
between the Quota OF soldiers and the
PROPERTY basis differing 50 widely in towns.
And thsn again. sonae towns voted 5000
loc.l botIffies. others but $10o. At the
stage Of plynfiflinass Of money we are like
" to have. the tixation will be even light,
Is compared with half the taxation com
mon several years ago, money being 20
essy % acquire for all marketable stuifs st
high prices.
