was asked to incorporate il in the
Amendment. which was done. IL is
to be hoped that all will register. The
more money that is raised in this way
the less the tax rate need be. II two
hundred should vote. for instance, the
tax rate would be 5 cents on the 500
less. as this would ring into the town
treasury 5000. which would be the same
amount that would be received from
cents on the Sioo on the total value
81 the town propertv-Sloo,ooo. To be
more explicit. IL two hundred persons
should register. the man owning prop
erty valued at $4,000 would have to
pay in taxes just 81 less This one
dollar would pay his poll tax. After
all has been said and done. does II
make much difference how we are tax
ed. so the burden falls equally upon
all? A certain amount OF money must
be raised each year for the expenses
OF the town: IL part OF il is raised by a
