Collecting Taxes,

The Honorable Board of Commissioners of
the revenue for Montgomery county, Mary
land, please stand up:
| The fact is universally conceded that the
| time has arrived when il behooves the tax
| payers and all who are interested 10 the pros
| perty of Montgomery county, and also in
| the principles of justice and equity,t o use all
honorable and proper means TO reduce the
taxes which all admit are enormously high
In pursuance of this object, at the soliciia-
| ton of number of my neighbors, including
| the Honorable Commissioner from Medey's,
| circulated a petition TO your Honorable
Body asking you 10 reduce the compensation
for collecting the taxes in said county 10 two
and a-half per cent, This ! claim to be a just
and equitable proposition for the following
reasons, which were fully set forth to your
Honorable Body:
The present collector for Medley's gets about
81 100 this year for this service, at tour and
and half per cent, with perquisites which
ia proven 10 be largely in excess Of lair prize.
especially when several of our most reliable
and responsible citizens offered TO do the work
for $500 What is true in this respect OF
Medley's is true in a greater or less degree OF
the other districts. i take the position that
YOU as representatives of the people OF the
county are under obligations to execute their
known will and wishes.
Ia circulating the petition referred to above
found that every man, OF abou, City who
saw it, who was not concerned in the smolu-
menis Of Office, coincded with its object and
signed il, save some two or three, who would
not sign form personal considerations. One
gentleman who had served ms Commissioner,
and supposed to know The duties, failed TO sign
it tor the reason which he gave that il was
your plain duty TO make the reduction with
out being petitioned.
Having found the people so unanimous so
far called on, il is fair To assume tina, it every
TAXPAYER in the county could have been heari
from nineteen Of every twenty would have
favoredAbis measure.
There are number Of COOL men in the
county who would do this service without in
reference with their ordinary business, evil
denced by the fact that Il school-leacher col
lecled the taxes for Medleys some years since,
in very acceptable manner and without in
terferng at all with his duties as teacher
Now, therefore, as the people are anxious for
information, in the name of the taxpayers you
are most respectfully requested TO give the rea-
sons, through the columns OF the Sentinel,
which prompted you to oppose the wishes Of
a large majority by refusing to reduce expenses
in this particular item to any appreciate er-
tent. Please don't give as reason (which
the arguments have used above so thorough
ly refute) that the collectors could not afford
TO do ii tor less. We anxiously await your
reply, hoping it may be satisfactory to all
concerned.
We did contemplate asking for reduction
in other items of couniy expenses, but Our ex-
perience in this matter has qrite discouraged
us in seeking aid at your hands in the inter-
est of retreuchment aud Reform.

County Taxation.

WoLf DES, April Is, 1879.
Mr.. Ehtor IL have been greatly interested
10 the articles and editorials in the Sentinel on
the subjects of reform in taxation and county

their hard-earned money so long without max
ing an effort to throw OF the vampires.
have never taken much part ia politics,
having always voted for such men AS the par
tr thought proper TO put up. But when see
our taxes constantly Increasing without any
corresponding benefit TO the taxpayers. 1
think It is time every disintsrested Taxpayer
should zee for whom aud what he is voting.
One OF your correspondents thinks The move
Is hit at the Democratic party and in favor
OF the Republican party. think be IS mis-
taken. II such be the case, however, and the
issue be the reduction OF our taxes by electng
honest, capable men to Gil the Offices, then the
sooner we strike Il the better.
We need never expect to have our taxes re-
dueed while we suffer our nominations TO be
made and controlled by the present party lead
ers and political rings. The Democratic party
has had full control Of the State aud county
for the last fifteen years or more, and during
that time our taxes have been doubled aud
thrilled, and the fees aud salaries OF the Office
holders are more ihan twice AS much as they
were before the war, while everything else has
come down as low or lower than then. The
only reduction made In any county expendi-
lures that have heard Of Is fifteen cents day
taken OF the lAborers W no work on the coun-
~ roads.
You said in one Of your editorials several
weeks since that we ought 10 briug out our
besl men for the legislature this Fall. think
you are right there. We can have no reform
without proper legislation. Yet we were un-
der the impression that we had selected our
