By far the greatest number OF
bills passed at the regular session
of the Legislature, just ended,
were bills of a local nature,
amending the charters OF cities
and towns or an independent
school district. However, there
were several bills enacted into
laws which will affect the State
in general.
Among those were a bill
amending the assessment law III
which everything imaginable Is
taxed except coal, oil and gas.
Nothing escaped but these three
articles. T. P. Hill of this county,
voted against taxing oil, gas and
coal.
Another bill was the revenue
bill. In this bill the whole IL
cense system of the State is re-
arranged. This act imposes IL
cense tax on nearly every enter
prise that is carried on in the
State.
A bill was passed providing for
the nomination Of candidates for

Another annuls the deeds OF

have an apparent difference in favor
of the Democrats OF So, 300 Examine
further, however, before we come to
conclusion. When the settlement for
1901 was made, the sheriff had in his
hands a surplus Toad tax as shown by
the settlement, 81, ,453, which was
turned over to the Democrats. Add
this to the amount they collected for
1902 and it will make the amount for
that year IS, l2l. Let us take from

Let us take the amount saved in

went into effect the poll tax IN BrecK-
enIidge county was So 90 and the ad
valorem tax 10 cents on each 500.
Since the present constitution the poll
tax has been and cannot exceed, 81. 80
for general expenses.
The year 1901 was the last yeal of
Republican rule, the year 1902 the first
year of the present administration.
This statement for the year 1902,
shows a decrease over tn year 1901,
the sum of 81, 422 the year 1903 81, 1877 ;
and the year 1904, 81, $40.
The Breckenridge Democrat claims
this to te reduction in the amount
of the taxes, and a casual observer,
looking over the settlements Of the
sheriff. and this statement, would take
this TO be true. There is another fact,
however, connected with this, that
throws a different light over it alto
gether. In 1902, the fiscal court reduc-
ed the poll tax for general expenses to
81. 90 and added 80 cents poll tax to
the road tax The Republicans put
the poll tax for general expenses at
81. 30, and had no poll tax for road pur-
poses.
The number of tithes for the year
1902 as shown by sheriff's settlement
for that year, was 4, 730. A poll tax Of
80 cents would he 81, 365. The number
of tithes tor the year 1908, as shown by.
sneritf's settlement, was 4, SO; a'poll
tax OF 80 cents would be So 4O5. The
number OF tithes for the year 1904 was
I, ij9 a poll of 80 cents would be 50,
379 Add these sums to the amounts
shown in this statement chargeable to
the sheriff and we would have for the
year 1902, $l4, $50, ior the year 1908, Sl5,
2O3, and for the year 1904, SO,
We lind then that the amount produc-
ell for either year will exceed the
amount levied by the Republicans for
anv year while in power Or deduct
80 cents from the poll tax by the Re
puDlicans and we tind hat the amount
levied and collected by them was LESS
in any year while they were in power,
than that levied AMI collected by the
Democrats IN either of the three years
Of their administration TaBe the
year 1895. We fnd the number of
tithes for that year was 1, 2SG tnis

and it leaves SIP, go, and so for every
year of Republican rule, deduct 20

collected by them Is LESS than for
any OF the three years Of the Demo
Gratis Yet in face of these facts, which
the sheriff settlements will prove TO
he true, the Democrats call the Repuh-
lcans thieves. robbers, williams. To
make this fact perfectly clear so that
no one need misunderstood, we make
the following statement
Statement 3.
The Breckenridge news., 1905-11-01

We have stated that, under our State
constitution, the poll tax is limited
to 81 80. For more than twenty five
years, our poll tax had been S3 90, and
this was our principal source of reve-
nue.. When this reduction took place
there were $50 tithes in the county,
making the poll tax $l2, 240. This was
reduced one half SO, 1870. THIS deficiency
had to be met and an ad valorem tax
was the only remedy. The levy was in
creased 10 cents, making the al valoren
tax 20 cents on the 500. Jump mum
Der one. When the tax system for work
ing the roads was Inaugurated,a a tax OF
20 cents OH the 500 was levied, raising
the al valorem tax 10 40 cents. JumI
number two. The reduction of the pol
tax and the levy of the road tax caus
ed this increase In the ad valorem tax.
If the Democrat wanted the truth told
why did it not publish these facts? II
knew them, and supressess them
"Suppressing the truth suggests g
falsehood. The Democrat claims
the Democratic administration has
saved the people 30, 600 and they
figure Il in this way: 9,013 =
all from the road district tax except
$3.50, county expense 1903, s., 3l7, al
road district tax except 5000, county
expense 1904, So, 707, all road district
tax except 1868, county expense. 1t esti'
mates the year 1908, ST, OO0. This would
make the county expense something
over 81, 900, the whole amounting tC
500. OO7.
The Democrat prefaces its tabulated
statement in this manner Let us lay
preiudlceS aside and look these facts in
the face as we find them and act &C.
cordIng to the conclusions We form by
exercising an honest, unbiased judg-
ment'.
81 have taken the assessed valuation
of wealth in the county, as it is given
us each year. and calculated the amount
of taxes paid to each fund at the rate
they now carry. Then | found what
would have been paid them If they
carried the same rate they did foul
wears ago. Subtracting one from the
other, the difference, OF course, is the
saving For the sake of brevity,
have added the General Fund, Paupei
Fund and Sioking Fund together,
under the head of County Expense,
and following are tabulated state
ments of the amounts saved on the
several funds for the different years :
Now why not go to the records for the
road tax and get the facts and figures,
and show the truth. The records show
his "tabulated statement to be utterly
without foundation.

Republicans and the amount collected
