The Times says ex.Sheriff Jolliff has
sent draft to the State Auditor for
,S21, 1858, which is one.half OF the
taxes to be paid by Marion county
for the year 1901, the full amount
being S54,233.$G. The Republicans
are unwilling to see so much money
as that leave the county when 1t can
be avoided and the new tax laws pro.
vide for the gradual reduction Of the
amount paid into the State treasury by
the countycuntil in 1907 we shall pay
only five per cent. instead of thirty
I'VE per cent. as at present. Had it
not been for the persistent opposition
OF such people as the editor OF the
Times, the entire State tax could
have been abolished and in 1907 all
the money collected would remain In
Marion county. The S54 ,233.OG which
Marion county had TO pay for 1901
is more than half enough money to
pay the entire expenses oflthe county
government paper which has pub.
lished rs many lies about the new tax
laws as the Times has ought to be
ashamed TO mention anything about
the payment Of Marion county's share
of the State tax.

up Is that there should be no politics

are more chickering's, contentious and
disscnsions aroused by breaking away
from political ties and mixing up in
these mongrel, omnibus, catch.all tick.
els than from all other sources com.

of the minority to set such traps and
throw out tempting bait but it seems
that u few lessons would make the

THE N EW TAX LAWS.

Tax Commissioner Dillon has been
giving the new tax laws vigorous
rounding up and he says they are
what the people have been looking
for. They reach the monied interests
and Instead Of increasing the bur
dens Of the poor, they Will lessen
them. He claims that he will col.
lect a half million dollars in back
taxes of the brewcries Of this and
other States. This one item alone
VIII pay more than one.third OF the
running expenses of the State gov
eminent for a year, This, We are
promised, is but a small part OF the
taxes from large holdings which will
be brought out. Mr.. Dillon says the
total valuation ingthc State will be
increased at lcastSfour fold. On that
basis the valuation in Marion county
would be about fifty million dollars.
With such a valuation ana only the
usual amount of taxes to be raised
the rate can be divided byifour. The
law may be amended at the present
session Of the Legislature prohibiting
county courts from laying the levy
50 that ia greater amount Of revenue
may be derived in 1905 than was
raised In 1904. In the event that such
a provision is made, the tax receipt
OF the ordinary farmer and small
properly owner VIII have to he less
than in former years. The tax re.
form f movement Is right and it will
be a blessing to the State.
