PAY FOR OTHER COUNTIES !.
Kenosha Makes a Large Donation to the
State School Funds.

One advantage which citizens with
large families Of children confer upon
their counties, if not upon themselves,
in a monetary way, has been discov-
cred by thesstate tax commission. In
the distribution of the state school
fund, the basis2adopted by the state
law is the number of children of school
age in each county. In the collection
of the 1-mi11 tax for school purposes,
however, theH basis of assessment is
the property valuation. AS a result
the wealthy county with comparative
1y few children pays more for school
taxes than it receives for the appor-
tionment of the school fund, while on
the other hand the county which is
poor in wealth but rich in children
gets the benefit.
There are twenty-nine counties in
the state which pay more into the
school fund in the way of the 1-mil1
tax than they receive from the appor-
tionment of school moneys, their total
excess amounting to $3.50, 662. Is, or an
average of about $4, 126 each. Mi1wau-
kee county npays the largest excess,
S47, 688.5 The greater part of the ex-
cess is paid by the older counties in
the southern part of the state, though
Douglas is tenth in the list,
Forty-one counties receive more
from the apportionment than they pay,
Marathonsheading this list with ben
eft of about So, 500. In addition to the
1-mi11 tax, all the counties receive a
share in the school fund income,
which amounts to 21.4 per cent. of the
total
The twenty-nine counties which pay
a total of $12O,662.15 more into the
school fund, through the 1-mi11 tax,
than they receive by the apportion-
ment based on the Number of children,
with the amount each county pays in
excess of the amount received are:

Friends of the Sheridan Road Appear Be-
fore the Milwaukee Park BOARD.

Frlen0S OF the sheridan Road Appear Be-
fore the Milwaukee Park BOARD.
A new effort is being made to secure
the completion of the Sheridan drive
between Milwaukee and Chicago and
Friday many interested parties ap-
peared before the Park Board in Mil
waukee and sought an appropriation
for the purpose of extending the road
throughout Milwaukee city and county.
In connection with this announce
ment it is stated that the Secretary of
War has presented the facts in regard
to the road to the United States gov
eminent and will ask that the next
session of Congress make an appro-
priation to be used in completing the
road from Fort Sheridan to Milwaukee.
The road has been surveyed for many
years but it has been retarded on
account of the opposition of the farm
ers in Kenosha and Racine counties.
By the new plan the people of the
counties interested would be called
upon to pay only a small part of the
expense of the building of the road,
but the farmers will object to the pay
ment of even this small amount. 1t is
the plan of the government to COM
plete the road as military road, and
if the plan goes through the original
cost of the road would be the only eX-
pense that would fall on the people of
the Wisconsin counties. With the
road completed for use as military
road the entire expense for its main
tenance would be assumed by the
United States government.
There is a possibility that the War
Department may decide to complete
the road without the aid of any Wis
consin property owners, but should
this be the case it is also probable that
the road would be used in the strictest
sense as military road.
Much of the opposition to the road
has been removed in Racine county
and Kenosha is the only county that
standssin the way of the big improve
ment.
Further developments of the plan
will be watched with interest.

in full force and effect" To this
we may add the efforts constantly
recurring of getting persons accused
OF crime to plead guilty; a practice
un-American and illegal in itself,
and all the more Objectionable when
the officials implicated therein are
beneficiaries in the per diem allowed
for the board of prisoners. These
are among the innovations which
have made the present administra-
ton stand out in bold relief from it's
predecessors. Notwithstanding that
our jail house is kept well supplied
with occupants, it is a fact that-in
spite of all boasting to the con-
trary-there is if anything less Sc
curity of person and property now
than in times past, when for weeks,
if not months at stretch the coun-
ty jail was without tenant. It re-
mains to be seen whether the citi-
zens of Amador county are as
anxious as the Dispatch man and
other interested individuals for a
continuance of the existing regime.

That Emergency Bridge Again.

1t now appears that the so-called
emergency bridge over the lagoon neal
Carbonate lies partly in road district
two-and partly in district five. Sc
that the supervisor of each of those
districts is concerned in the failure to
observe the natural process of decay
upon which is based the emergency
which prompted them to let the con-
tract for rebuilding without calling for
bids. The district attorney informs us
that he told the board at the regular
meeting in October that they had nc
right to let the contract without first
calling for bids. He was absent in Sac
ramento when the special meeting oil
the board was held, at which the con-
tract was let to G. W. Swain, so that
he had no opportunity to protes
against the summary letting of the
contract. The contract. however, is
now in his hands for approval, so that
there is yet hope that this bridge.
building scheme in disregard of com.
petitive bids, may be frustrated.

MONEY BORROWED.

Reports are in circulation-notwith =
standing all efforts to keep the matter
a secret-that money has been borrow
ed by the supervisors in behalf of the
county to pay for road work. The
road fund has been exhausted for the
past two months. Heavy bills for road
work were presented at both the
September and October meetings.
Upon inquiry we have learned that,
although there was no money in the
treasury to pay, at least two warrants
have been issued, one about 1850, the
other for about $3.50. These warrants
have not been paid, neither have they
been presented for payment. The re-
port is that money has been borrowed
to the amount of $4,000. There is moth
ing on the minutes of the board in
relation to such transaction. 1t is
reported that seven per cent per annum
is to be charged on this loan, but who
is going to pay this interest is another
question. We shall endeavor to get
at the bedrock of this peculiar transac-
ton hereafter.

From this it will be seen that
Mono county has the highest 1929
and Yolo the lowest ($1.35) tax rate
in the state. There are twenty four
counties with higher tax rate than
Amador. On it's face, this is a better
showing than this county has made
for years. In times past Amador
has stood well up toward the front
in the matter of high tax rate.
But the improvement by comparison
is more apparent than real. 1t is
due not to any real reduction in the
levy in this county, because in fact
the rate is the same as last year.
but it is owing to change in the
legal status which has compelled
many counties to raise their tax
rate. We refer to the decision of
the supreme court denying the right
of the county authorities to collect
a license tax within the limits of in
corporated towns This decision
does not affect the tax levy in ANA
dor, because we have no incorpo-
rated towns. But in counties con-
tanning several Incorporated towns,
the reduction of revenue by the loss
of licenses is considerable, and the
supervisors in these counties have
been compelled to increase the prop
erty tax to such an extent as will
compensate for this loss. Out of
the twenty four counties outranking
Amador in the tax rate, fifteen have
one or more Incorporated towns.
So that this leaves nine counties in
the same class as Amador-that is.
without Incorporated towns that
have higher tax rate. These
counties are Alpine, Inyo, MADEIRA,
Modoc, Mariposa, Plumas, Sierra.
Trinity. OF these counties there is
only OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES assess
ment roll exceeds that of Amador.
OF the 43 counties containing in
corporated towns, only six have
levied tax for road purposes in
excess of Amador's rate, which is 45
cents. In one county, Santa Cruz,
the road tax is the same as ours.
OF the thirteen other counties with
out incorporated cities, we have no
data at hand to make comparisons
on this point, but it is safe to say
that in few, if any, will the rates
for roads and bridges aggregate
higher than in Amador.

LOCAL politics begins to be a
topic of conversation. BY the first
of next year things will commence
to buz in earnest. Probable candi-
dates for the various offices, and the
chances of election are frequent sub
jects of discussion. One thing is
conceded. With the strong republi-
can majority in Amador county, as
demonstrated at the last election,
ordinary care in getting the right
men on the ticket is all that is
necessary to make pretty much of a
clean sweep of county offices.
