ABOUT TAXES.


Why Is II necessary that the tax
payers of Cherokee county must pay
len mills Oh the dollar for county pur-
poses, when In Craw ford county the
same item OF expense costs tho people
only five mills on the dollar2 The
county commissioners will have to
look into this matter-reform must
sci in soon or something will be heard
to drop.-Star Courier.
In answer 10 the foregoing should
say a little posting up as to the facts
regarding the tax levies for county
purposes, as between Crawford aud
Cherokee counties would place the
matter before the taxpayers IN II very
different light. the total valuation IN
Crawford county for 1892 Is $3.50, Ito
upon which the commissioners OF that
county levied three and nine-tenths
mills for state tax, eight aud 0ne-lenih
mills for county, one and u half mills
for poor fund total thirteen and a
half mills. Cherokee county's valua-
ton is only $3,500,0D on which is
IcNicV luuI anu u Nuai'C' H''" wa
state and ten mills for county lax.
The difference IN valuation alone Of
the two counties is oven q million dol
lars, SO that 10 undertake TO meet the
general expenses Of the county with a
five mill levy would he impossible.
Cherokee county has no levy for poor,
paying that expense out of the general
fund. Crawford county, on q valua-
ton of $4,S5j, ITO, pays total levy OF
thirteen aud half mills while on the
valuation Of Cherokee county ($3,5OO,-
000), for the same purposes fourteen
and a quarter mills are levied, or just
three-fourths Of mill more than IN
Crawford county. And notwilh-
standing it is published that Crawford
county pays only five mills for general
purposes, the fact is she pays nine and
six-tenths mills, or only four-tenths Of
mill less than Cherokee county tax
PAYERS.
If five mill levy was placed on all
the property in Cherokee county, on
the present valuation il would rai'e
about $l7,500. Now there is no tax
payer in the county but knows that
this amount would not meet the cur
rent expenses of the county. The Of
ficers salaries alone would require
two-thirds of this amount, and II is II
well known fact that the enforce
ment of the prohibitory liquor law in
this county during the past four or
five years has cost the county on an
average nearly one-tenth Of all the
taxes collected. I, is well known that
men are arrested and placed in
jail at a cost of forty cents day
each, often remaining in jail six
to nine months, the majority of their
families becoming charges on the
county also. The violators of the law
are usually either totally unable or
unwilling TO pay their fine and costs
and so have to remain in Jail at the
cost of the taxpayers. Not until the
law as it stands on our statute books
is enforced and all property in the
county is appraised at its full value
can we expect TO survive on a levy of
five mills or less for general purposes.
TAX PAYER,
In both counties.
