THIS YEARS COUNTY TAX LEVY.

Last years tax levy for Oconcc county
was mills, rs authorized by the Gene
raj Assembly, bu. the County CommiS-
slonors raised the levy to ~ mills. We
think tho action Of the County Commits.
sioncrs illegal, and the small taxpayers
were put at Il disadvantage for thc rca-
son that they could not litigatc the extra
tax without far more expense than il
would take to pay the tax.
Last year the Legislature authorized Il
loVy for ordinary county purposes OF y
mills, court expenses mill, roads ! mill.
past indebtedness u mill-a total Of :,
mills. But the County commissioners
raised the road levy mill, making the
total 81 mills.
The Legislature last year changed the
law Which permitted the levy for road
purposes, SO that this year every person
liable to road duty must work instead of
pay tax. Still the County Commissions
ers ask for the same tax this year as was
levied last year.
We do not think the request should be
granted. They should not be allowed to
abolish the special tax for Jurors and
witnesses. When persons are forced, at
considerable expense, to attend court
there should be no doubt about their
small fees being paid promptly.
Why do the commissioners wish to
abolish this special tax? The only rca-
son that can hc given is to allow them
the direction Of this fund as they may
desire, without any statutory restraint.
They evidently wish to hold it for the
payment Of jurors and witnesses or spend
it otherwise, rs they may sec fix. We do
not think this discretion should be lodged
in the board. The custom Of holding
funds separately has worked SO well and
cquitably that it should be continued
Again, during the fiscal year lN9S we
had levy Of only II mills for ordinary
county purposes, and it lacked only some
five or six hundred dollars of paying all
expenses, while during the year lS99a levy
of "a nillS was made for ordinary county
purposes, and still We are asked fora half
mill for past Indebtedness. Why" 1t
might be said it was for Indebtedness of
prior years. This is not the case. The

ness moro than pays all that was behind
when the present administration took
charge.
And why should il take - mills this
year" 1t took that amount last year.
when tholu was one mill for roads, which
wo do not have this year. The tax levy
should decrease us the assessment in
creascs; but this is not the case, for both
arc constantly on the increase
For years and years the levy for nrdi
nary county purposes has not been more
than - mills, and seldom that much. We
would ask why , mills this gear for or,h
nary county purposes" Five mills is
entirely too much, and the people should
demand that it be reduced. Tlc levy
should also be divided rs heretofore. and
the board required to hold the funds
separately for different specific purposes.
