AS 70 MORE REVENUE.

In order to prejudice the people
against the new tax laws their oppo-
Dents have repeatedly insisted that
the prime object OF the reform move
n1ent was the raising of more rev
enuc. anu not the more equitable dis.
tribution as claimed by the new laws
advocates. As 1t Is natural to put UP
tho strongest defense at the point Of
attack, the supporters Of the new
laws hnva shown time and again that
the result of their working is gen
eral reduction in the tax ticket of the
ordinary citizen. However, there is
another side to this question well
worth the consideration of the
Thoughtful citizen, AL will agree that
we need more revenue. The condi-
ton Of our bridges, the old Jail and
numerous other county properties
make that apparent. The old tax
laws were a failure in producing sufi-
Gent revenue to meet the needs of the
county and our share of the State
taxes. All will agree on this point,
also. Therefore. in order to make it
possible to have any public improve
ments and pay the Indebtedness heap
ed up under the old laws, something
certainly had to be- done. Two pro
visions OF the new laws cover our
needs exactly. One is the reduction,
booking to the complete abolition. OF
the State tax. When that Is accom-.
plished, Marion county will have an
nually about $4,000 more for home
use than it has heretofore had by rea-
son of keeping the money In the coun.
~ rather than sending it to Charles.
ton for the support Of the State gov.
eminent. Again, new sources OF rev.
enue have been found and valuable
properties have been put on the
books at a great increase under the
true and actual value clause. In
4 this way more money will soon be
available for improvements in the
county without increase in the taxes
of the small property owner and or.
binary taxpayer. This system when
worked out as it has SO nicely started
will be ideal. but the people will have
to keep their heads level and not be
led astray by every wind of doctrine.
