What is tho cause of tho taxes OF
this county being so high? One dollar
and eighty cents on the hundred is
pretty steep-that Is just what we
have to pay to the state, county and
corporation of Iuka. We know what
is done with that that goes into the
State treasury, reports are made and
published regularly. The people have
a right to know what is done with the
moneys they pay in the shape of taxes
each year. "At the beginning of the
year, or soon after, the assessor makes
his annual visit, as regularly as clock
work. and at its close, tho tax payer
is required to return the visit and pay
his tax" And if we as tax payers,
call on the treasurer for an itemized
report--to have it published in pub
lie Journal, he looks at you in perfect
astonishment and thinks you have a
great deal of gall in wanting to know
what has become Of your money.
Town authorities and county SUPER
visors are public servants, and so are
town and county treasurers. and no
matter how honest the latter may be,
the tax payers have right to know
how the money is discussed which
they pay into the treasury, and it does
seem that no honest and upright off,
Ger will object to making public
exhibit Of his official acts.
BY the neglect of the supervisors in
not having their proceedings and the
treasurers report published as they
should have done, and is customary in
other counties of the state, much trou-
bic and expense would have been saved
to the county in 1892 Now, II the
proper reports had been made and
carefully examined, this would never
have occurred.
Ask the county supervisors why
they do not publish their proceedings,
that they as public servants render to
their constituents a just account OF
their stewardship-oh, the county is
too deeply in debt! This excuse Ia a
very lame affair. Still they draw their
mileage and four dollars per day at
every sitting There IL toe much au-
tocracy in this. What are they cleo
ted for, Is 1t not to look after the af-
fairs of the county, II the county is
in debt, taxes high, are they not tho
authors of itP

There is something very loose about
our town governmental nothing Sc
riously wrong, there is some very poor
financeering done by those at the head
OF it. The taxes on town property is
too high for tho amount of business
done. Look at our streets, they are in
bitches, mud holes here and there, and
at times almost impossible. 1t is true
the public square is graveled, but
when this is said it is all said. What
becomes Of all the money paid into the
town treasury The tax payers want
to know.

Hard times and the scarcity OF mon
cy is the cry from every man you meet.
Our people are responsible in a meas
ure for what is called "hard times"
There is scarcity of money in circu-
lation for the reason that producers
and consumers are alike are not as
studious as they should be about pla-
eng their investments. Every dollar
that goes abroad for foreign manu-
facturers and products OF any kind is
lost to home circulation, Merchants
who handle the products OF the coun-
try as rule, place their investments
more with an eye to the profit tina
they do the ultimate development
the resources around them. For in
stance If corn is cheaper in ST. Loui
or Chicago by few cents on the BUSH
ell than it can be bought for off country
wagons-away the money goes to re-
turn no more. The same plan is pur-
susd by farmers, if they can buy their
-four, sugar, coffee and other necessa-
ries a few cents cheaper in Memphis
than at home, away goes the money,
to return no more. For instance the
item of coal-we live in a wooded
country where wood can be had for 81
per cord and we burn coal for the sake
of enriching some coal barren, and
away the money goes never to return.
instead of patronizing home produc-
ton and the money kept at home. Our
mechanics half the time idle for the
want of homo patronage, because tho
farmer can purchase what he needs
from some merchant who buys the i'm
plement from some eastern man, and
away goes the money. Again, look at
your home paper and see if the mer-
chants and business men Of the town
patronize it as they should do? There
are but two home advertisements in
its columns. The city drummer comes
along soliciting job work, and gets
from 90 to IS per cent more for his
work than the home Office. Even the
county officials give their work to the
knights OF the grip. No wonder it is
hard times. People will continue to
migrate to more congenial climes.
