Is the month OF May, 1855, complaint was
made before the County Commissioners that
some Of the cattl,men OF this counS had not
given Ia for assessment the currrct number of
cattle owned by them, and asking that nm
investigation he had IN the matter. Upon
this an investigation was ordered At the
investigation we find our County Assessor at
work in tn. interest OF the catti.ncn, max
ing up purse in order 10 eniploy an atior.
ney, that he succeeded in making up the
purse and that he employed the County Judge
rs attorney for the rattIcmrn against the
county. We also find that George II, Duke,
the county assessor, is the book keeper for
Enos I. IIo,chkiss. the principal ca,tlcman
against whom complaint was made, aud that
he Ind charge of aud kept all of Mr.. 1loteh.
kiss books, including the tally books show.
ing the number Of cattle branded and owned
by Mr. Hotchkiss. We also find that our
County Assessor has assessed Mr.. Hotrhkiss'
cattle for two years, and that although he
has all this time had Mr.. Iotchkiss' books
before him he could not or would not tell the
County Commissioners whether Mr.. Hoicl-
kiss WAS the owner of 200 head of cattle or
1000 head. Our county interest are and can
be protected only by our county officials.
They are paid for looking after the interests
of the county, and for conducting the busi.
ness Of the county on plain business princi'
pies. II their services md sympathics can
be enlisted upon the side opposed to the
county interests, who then is there to repre-
sent the county? That a county official
should at any time take part and assist in n
fight against the county which is supporting
him, is not in accordance with our idea of n
county officers duty, nor could II be- in nc-
cordnncc with the ideas Of these very county
officials had not Enos T. lIotchkiss been one
of the catticmcn whose interests were In
volved. Our idea Of county officials duty
is that lie should at NIL times look after the
interests of the county ms n corporation, ard
should look to it that the county receives all
Of Its Justly due revenue, and that no money
!. paid out unless full value is received
therefor by the county. If the county busi-
ness Is conducted on this basis there need be
no tear Of high taxation. VI our county Of
Rcials do not attend To the county's interests
the taxpayer should elect men who. will do
70. That is their only safeguard, their only
remedy.

VOLUME III.

DELTA COUNTY pays its Treasurer eight
per cent for collecting the taxes, and the last
semi.annual statement of the County Clerk
shows that the County Treasurer received of
the eounty's money for the six months begin
ming January l, 1885. and ending June 81,
1855, the sum OF eight hundred aud fifty
seven dollars and nine cents, t$s57.09). Del
Ia county now has total assessed valuation
of $3.50, ,22394. The taxes of this county are
over three per cent ON the assessed valuation.
but for the purposes Of this article we will
call it three per cent. Three per cent on
$3.50, ,223. "a is Sl7 ,5s6.7l, the amount OF tax
es collected in one year. For the collecting
OF this amount our County Treasurer will
receive eight per cent, or 81 .I06.93. Besides
tins the County Treasurer collects our munic-
ipal and school taxes, making u total revenue
from the office of over 81 600. The duties
of the Office of County Treasurer can be and
are all performed in less thXn one.iourth of
the business hours during a year, thus giving
the incumbant of the Office more than three
fourihs of his time Ia attend To his other busi-
meas. Now, by another computation, we find
there are 3l3 working days in year, one
fourth OF which is ISL days in which the
County Treasurer can and does perform all
the duties of his office, and for which he re-
ceives over 81 600 Of the county's money,
rate Of over twenty dollars a day. Are the
voters Of this county aware of the fact that
they are paying their County Treasurer Us
much for one days service of eight hours
they themselves receive for ten days service
working twelve hours.
Our State law provides that county treas
urers shall receive for III. collection Of taxes,
IN counties of the tirst class, per cent. aud
Ia counties of the second aud third class,
per cent, aud that in coui tie, of the second
and third ciu,s the county commissioners
may increase the rate a, their option Our
County Commissioners have increased the
rate to eight per cent. and are paying eight
per cen, for the collection of Delta county
taxe. II our taxes were collected for three
per cent, the legal rate. our County Treasurer
would receive over $500 per year for his
services, aud IL lie should devote on. hundred
days 10 the business OF the Office Of County
Treasurer he would receive 80 per day for
his services, and would thus save To the tax.
pzyers of the county the sum % one thousand
dollars per annum. II three per cent is not
n sufficient compensation, nakc it four per
cent, but Tor til. sake Of decency lie, the tax
payers of the county sec to it that eight per
cen, is no longer paid Tor the receiving OF the
county money.
