During the last campaign the republi.

corruption or carelessness Of the fu.

tempt war made ia deceive HE tax
payers la the amount Of taxes they
should be called upon 10 pay. The
rate Was reduced, but the assessment
was raised, and the result was IN
changed, except in the cases Of large
corporations, whose taxes were re-
duced, and farmers, whose taxes we're
correspOndingiy increased. This bit OF
chicanery was unworthy OF any man
or set o! men who aspire to be ell
trusted with public interests.
This last named expcdient Of the
fusioners is liable to have serious ef-
feet on the financial condition Of the
comfy. In their efforts to deceive
the taxpayer the customers failed to
make the levy sufficiently high to
meet current expenses, with the re-
suit that the county Is nearly whole
year behind In the payment Of war
rants. Under the present law cur
rent expenses are supposed to he met
with current revenues. This has not
been done by the customers, and as
the law docs not provide for the re-
demption Of outstanding warrants, ex-
cept by very small annual levy, ser
ious complications are apt to arise,
with the result that the county's
credit will suffer.
The fusion regime has proven an ex-
pensive experience for the taxpayers In
this county, and those who have not al
ready realized this fact will soon be
brought face to face with 1t.
The customers, through their I'M
scrupulous deception, succeeded, In a
measure, In covering up their short
