HARD ON TAXPAYERS.

With Fill Knopf paying prlncely sal.

expense of the taxpayers,
With the new Drainage Board striv-

dollars,
With the State Board of Equalization
raising the other taxes 10 per cent, 1t
is no wonder that the Daily News said
ON Wednesday:
"All in all, the year 1901 promises to
be a blue one for taxpayers who are
not big corporations. The State Board

valuation 10 per cent added from 81.

of taxes paid into the public treasury

increase Is no more than 1t Is. In keep
ing the raise down TO one-tcnth, when

mandatory, and experience has shown
