To go back one decade to 1882, we find
the assessed value of our property to
have been $40, 1915 1925, and the rate for
the country to have been 81 40. Since
then our wealth has increased more
than fourfold, yet the rate of assess
ment, which should have decreased
has actually increased. The defenders
of those exhorbitant taxes justify it by
saying: "Yes, but see what we have to
show for it, Then they point with
pride to our magnificent court house.
Are you not aware OF the fact that we
are in debt for the whole of that splen-
did edifice? Aye, and more, we have
mortgaged generation yet unborn. as
we'll as ourselves, to pay for it.
The bonded indebtedness of the coun-
ty is as follows: 1881, $l3 600; 1882,
s35, 900; 1884, $76,500; 1885, 1897 900 ;

Now let us see what has become of
these vast sums of money. How has it
been expended, and what have we got
to show for it? In this same connec-
ton it will be profitable and interesting
to show how the great volume of ex-
pense has been rolling up ever since the
present administration came into power.
1t is the history of all political parties
that, when once placed in power, they
begin at once to conspire together for
their continuance in power. To this
end the force of deputies are increased
until we'll organized force OF intelligent
and active young men are secured to
look after the primaries, pack the con-
ventions and create public sentiment.

men are favored for votes always, and

at great increase of cost to the people.
A great deal has been said on this sub
ject, and it is just as we'll that the peo-
pie should have the facts concerning the
GREAT REGISTER.
In 1886, there were 1900 volumes
printed. 1t contained 1851 names and
cost $l166. Bids were duly advertised,
and the contract was awarded to the
Timer Mirror company at n cents per
name.
Ia 1888, 5000 volumes were printed.
1t contained 30,318 names, and cost the
county $2SS6 13 to print it. The bids
were again advertised, and the contract
awarded to the Express, at 8 10 cents
per name. as
In 1890, the same number (30OO) of
volumes were printed. 1t contained
%, ,432 names. and cost $4293. 80 There
WAS no advertisement for bids, and the
printing was divided between the Ex.
press and the Times, at the rate OF

1t costs the taxpayers of this county
$22, ,265.08 per month, and $74220 per

this does not include the daily and

The cost OF the court house is also
matter OF public interest. 1t is magni-
fcent pile, and its interior decorations
and furniture are in keeping with its
architectural beauty. In times of great
prosperity, when mortgages are few, and
the products of our toll are satisfactory
when money is plenty, interest low, and
railroad charges are not adjusted 80 as
to take "all the traffic will bear" we
would not complain of any improve
ments, calculated to embellish our city
and increase the wealth of the com
munity at large. But extravaganza and
unnecessary expenditures OF public funds
in times of great depression, such as we
have been going through in this county,
are in the nature of crime, and must be
rebuked and checked at the polls.
