County Finances,

Our county court has Doen BUSY tins
term, with a large amoHnt Of business
to transact. A very important item
which came up before the court was
that Of fixing the levy for taxation.
The revised Statutes of 1889, section
7662, say that In counties where the
assessed valuation is s6,0OO.OOO or less,
the rate shall not exceed 30 cents on the
$I0O. In counties where the assessed
valuation is Se,oO0,OOO. or less than
100000, the rate shall not exceed 20
cents on the 500. In counties where
the valuation is from SlO,OO,000 to
$50, 10000. said nate shall not exceed 20
cents on the 500.
Lafayette county comes in the latter
class, and Our assessment this year will
be about Sll 100000.
In 1895 our assessment was Sil,lls,-

The assessment for 1899, as returned
by the county assessors, on real and
personal property, after being raised by
the state board Of equalization, is

creased by our county board Of equaliza-
tion, on individuals, probably amount

above figures must be added the mer-

$ii4,OG2. and will yery likely be more
this year.
For the past four wears We have had n
levy Of 80 cents on the 500 for the COM
promise fund, and 30 cents for the
county revenue fund. In the beginn ing
OF 1895 the county had a surplus of

The following article IS an editorial
clipped from the ST. Louis Republie Of
Tuesday. We commend tie esretrl
perusal by sil who are trying to dis
grace our state by crying .'bsnkUptcy,"
&c. Missouri finances have been splen-
didly managed. and it has no, cos,
one-half the revenue 10 collect the
other hall. There has been no stealing
and no sale Of railroads at 10 per cent.
Of the value Of securities.
.'Sccretary OF State lesueur. in =
second interview in The Sunday Re
public. furnishes facts and figures
plainly refnting The Globe-Demoerals
charge that the state treasury IS empty
and that the states finances are being
improperly handled.
ANY one familiar with the state
constitution knows, Of course, that it
is not within the power Of the legisla-
,ure 10 bankrupt the STATE. The affairs
OF Missouri n necessarily cOnducled
upon : cash basis, inasmuch IS The
constitution compels the setting aside
by successive legislatures Of the funds
necessary 10 meet the states obliga-
tons. before appropriations for any
other purpose msy be made. The
estimated state revenues may not be
disturbed save in WAYS distinctly
specified by constitutional provisions.
"Should the state legislature in It's
appropriations exceed the revenues Of
the stale. it is the duty OF the governor
to veto the appropriations causing
such excess. Should the governor fail
in this duty, it is the duty Of the state
anditer to refuse to issue warrants for
the payment OF such appropriations.
Should the state auditor fail IN this
duty, ii is the duty Of the state treas
10 refuse 10 pay warrants issued
against excessive appropriations. Thus
the state legislature, the governor, the
state suditor and The state treasurer
eonstiiu,Ionally bound 10 maintain
the solvency Of the state.
"Mr Lesueur shows that, with The
balance of s2,777,l66.7 IS now in the
state treasury, and with the eyeDu
still TO come in, \ surplus OF about
sl00,O0 will be in the treasury after
the payment Of all appropriations
made by the present state legislature.
Thus there is not the remoiest probs-
bllIty of the protesting Of ' q
state warrant, or Of the failure Of the
state TO pay even one Of its obligations.
Indeed the showing Of the finances Of
Missouri at the present time Is excep-
good. The republican press
Missouri, led BY The Globe Demo
crat, has selected an inopportuDe
moment al which 10 assail the states
"The people Of Missouri, however,
will not mlss the significance OF the
animus Of these assaults. For partisan
purposes republican newspapers Of the
state have sought 10 bring about lie
degradation before the country. They
have not hesitated to mIsrepresent
facts In their willingness TO injure
Missouri. A party whose organs are
capable Of work of this nature Is either
a party whose sense OF honor and
whose state pride has sunk to a low
ebb, OF else it is grieyously m~isrepre-
sented by its accepted mouthpieces."
