have been decreased a trifle. The
taxes for the road districts are
higher The principal reasons being
the damages caused by the high wa

higher wages than formerly. | pre-
sumo everybody is aware that the
commissioners have no more say in
affairs of the state, the cities and

and they cannot be blamed for in
rreases in taxes for their expenses.
Ihe laws of 1909 provide for a levy
by each county to produce, $40 for
each child of school age, which ac-
counts for the great increase. 1t will
be seen that the amount of taxes for
school purposes levied by the county
and the districts is nearly times
more than years ago. The state
taxes have increased very materially,
considerably more than double. We
do not wish, however to make any
remarks, whether they were caused
by natural causes or to what extent
poor management or extravaganza,
