MR.. DICKEY's COLLECTIONS.

The Morning News is sometimes
partly right in dealing with public
questions, but never wholly so. This
statement is especially true when It is
. dealing with anything Democratic. In
a recent editorial on the collection of
taxes in this county it made the asser-
tlon that Receiver of Taxes John T..
Dickey did not collect the taxes, and
intlmated that he was protecting his
friends in the matter of making his
collections. or rather in failing to make
them.
The total levy was s57 ,6SS, ,260, and
the rate OF taxation was fifty cents on
the S1OO This should have afforded a
revenue of $2SS, ,16630 no allowance
being made for errors and delinduen-
cies. From July to January the re-
bates allowed on the collections
amounted in the aggregate to $ll,S4l.-
IS. On January 1, 1897, the total
outstanding taxesamounted to$l02'l51'-
AZ. Since that time Receiver Of Taxes
Dickay has collected $64,O2617 of this
amount, leaving SSS,1SS.25. All pol
taxes unpaid by the first OF May are
extinguished by law, and such extin-
guishment cuts at least $4,000 from
the S3S, 1895, leaving 500, O,lS3.25 yet L
be collected OF this sum Mr.. Dickel
expects to get about $4,000. It will b'
seen that outside OF the poll taxes ex
tinguished all but about $4,000 of thi
total levy will be collected, and tha
$4,000 will be allowed for errors, a
has always been customary.
SO far as the charge that Mr.. Dicke,
is carrying his personal friend
on the books is concerned, w
have authority for the statemen
that three-fourths of those VIII
owe taxes are Republicans, and henc
not personal or political friends of MI
Dickey lie is simply refraining fror
pushing people to the wall at such
time as this when work is scarce an
money is scarcer.
