AS A BUSINESS PROPOSITION.

Before voting next saturday, the intel
ligent voter will have decided Tor himself
whether the proposition for borrowing
money, made him by the county com
n,issiuners, is = good one or bad one.
The reasons why we think he will de-
eide there are no elements o. good sound
business policy in the proposition are
simply these:
The assessed valuation Of property in
Chehalis county this year il sl2 100000.
The taxpayer rs asked 10 borrow on this
security 1924 500, for which he is to paw
in twenty wears, principal and interest,
s493. 900. which would mean tax Of a
little over two mills for twenty years, or
- mills in all, az the assessed valuation
is today. in order to pay the annual in
terest, 1870. and the sinking fund Of
Sl1 ,225.
Under the laws the state, the commits
sioners can levy tax Of seven mills for
road and bridge purposes, OF which 70
per cent. can he sci apart for general
DAD fund and % per cent. for bridge
fund. and in ali cases where more than
500 worth of work is to be done the law
provides that it shall be contracted for.
[Act March Z, 1901 Under this law the
commissioners can raise for road and
bridge purposes 900 on an assessed
valuation OF ST., zoo, 900, or in three years
they can raise $252 900 for read and
bridge purposes by direct taxation, none
OF which will 60 out Of the county TO pay
interest on borrowed money. Oh, sum
ming up, seven mills for three years is a
total tax Of q mills. and gives us $252, 900,
none o. which goes out OF the county In
the shape of interest paid to the money
lender. Under the bonding system We
pay total tax OF AZ mills in order to pay
$493, 900, more than one-half Of which
goes out OF the county. The same ratio
will hold with the increase in taxable
values OF the county. If the assessed
valuation next year should be $40, 0O0, 900,
instead Of Sl2 ,U00, 900, 7-mill tax would
raise $3.50, 900 in two years, or would be
a tax OF IA mills to raise $3.50, 900. While,
under the bonding proposition, with an
assessed valuation of $4,000, 900, 10 pay
$24 ,695 annually, would tie tax of IL
mills for twenty years, or a total tax OF
"a mills.
As is seen, the money raised by levy
ing properly road tax can be used for
general as well as particular road and
bridge Purposes, and the work has to be
done by contract Under that system,
any needed road can be begun, and the
money raised to carry TO completion
thoroughly good road, which is what We
all want. No one believes that the money
raised by bonding the cyunty will build
good roads. No az vocate OF the bonds
has ever stated that it would. So, Ailer
the bonds are voted and the money ex-
pended, and we have no roads, this addi-
tional ) or Z mill tax will have TO be
levied, and tax-,id3en Chehalis county
sill be shunned by every man who has
a dollar to invest.
Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1891-05-21
A LITTLE SUM IN ARITHMETIC

The bonding proposition Is a business
proposition, made by the county com
missioners to the taxpayers. Under the
call, the amount paid into the treasury
each year, as sinking fCnd, mnst be
dormant, as far as the taxpayers are CON
cerned, in the banks, owing to no pro
vision having been made for the invest
m mt of the alnenn- paid into the sinking
fund. Instead ef a proposition by Which
the county can borrow S-2zaa4 500 st 6 pei
cent, assuming that the bonds VIII bear
s per cent interest, we have a PROPOSE
tion wherein it is proposed 10 borrow
1924 800 and pay back, 81. which Is The
some thing to The taxpayer, into the
treasury each wear one-twrnticth OF tins
amount, Sll ,225, in the meantime, dur-
ing the twenty wears s per cent Interest
on s224 sos, SlS.470, must be paid each
wear tthongh really the taxpayer viii
only have the use OF that sum i0r one
YEAR, Thus AT The end Of The first
year the interest mnst be paid and sll.-
225 OF the S.,24 500 borrowed, the second
year the taxpayers only have the use Of
S21S, 275, SUI Us having been paid. moor
which they must pay Sl3.47o interest, or
6.S per cent; the tllird year they have
the use OF s2a2. 05a, So. 45a al the amount
borrowed having been paid back, for The
use OF which slS, 470 mast be paid, or 81
per cent. the iouIfh wear tliey have the
use OF Sl9a, S25, but must. pay 1or its use
Sl3. 40, or IL per cent. the Nineteenth
year only $50, 450 viii be unpaid, bnt for
the use oil that sam SlS.479 interest must
he paid, ar go per cent; the twentieth
year the taxpayers will have the use Oh
sll Dds, Tor which they must pay SIS, 40
interest, or l20 per cent So, the real
rates OF interest are, approximately
First year, 8 per cent; second wear, 6.S
per cent. third year, 81 per cent. /;
twentieth year, 12a per cent; an average
rate Oh interest OF 21.6 per cent, approx
matelys for the money the taxpayers
viii have the use OF, in case the bonds
are voted under the present call.
Is there voter in Chehalis county
that does not helieve the commissioners
can make them proposition undar which
they can obtain S22s 800 at a less rate al
interest than PIG per cent.

One saw mill on PEget sound reports q
loss Of AZ per cent. on days cut, re-
Gently, ON account Of the logs being 20
badly eaten by teredos.
One Of the strongest arguments ID
favor Of Grays harbor il the absence d
these pests from its waters. The tetedos
do not exist where there H. any consider
able amount Of fresh water, and the vast
quantity Of pure water poured into the
Harbor, by the Chehalis and other iribu-
tary rivers, preclndes any possibility d
their future appearance
All other conditions being equal. ~ per
cent. loss ON a days cut 81 a mill on
Puget sound from this source j. just ~
per cent. in favor Of a mill on Grays bar-
Dor AZ paying investment.
But other things are not equal; Piles
driven along the shores Of Puget sound
last only few months; while those
driven along the shores Of Grays harbor
last indefinitely, thus assuring cheaper
wharfage. Vessels entering and leaving
the Sound have a towage bin Of from
81 200 to $1,000; while those entering and
leaving the Harbor have practically
none; besides, the latter is $50 miles
nearer the markets Of the world, thus
assuring cheaper freigbts. Add to these
an unlimited supply OF finer timber, and
you have summary Of the advantages
as lumber, manufacturing and shipping
point Grays harbor possesses over Puget
sound; and these advantages are 50
obvious that they are bound TO force
themselves upon the notice of mill mer',
sooner or later, and Aberdeen, from IL
strategic situation Oh Grays harbor, will
be the principal lumber port on the
Pacific coast.

The commissioners announce that
they are to advertise Tor bids from the
bankers OF this county, and to tlie hank
offering the best rate OF interest win he
given the custody and use OF The sinking
fund."
There is one place, and only ono, we
think, whore snch an announcement
wonld he given a moments consolidation.
The announcement appears in tho Hagh-
izg2o'iiaT, and that paper is pushing
things rather TO extremes whom IL mag
ines it can find any voter so ignorant rs
to believe, with il, that the county com
missioners can replace the county treas
urcr in aisbursing the county funds.

LACK OF LOGIC

Another class who are opposed TO bonds
are the agents OF nonresident landholders-
who have undoubtedly been instructed &c
oppose measure which would make the
lands OF the nonresident more valuable,
and consequently compel him to pay a
larger proportionate share If the tax
Nidette.
This is extremely illogical. Ii the land
OF the nonresident landbolder would be
made more valuable, he would be 80
much the more able to pay the increased
tax thereon, for the only reason OF ms
investing here is his expectation OF in
crease in value, and naturally should
welcome any proposition that viii make
