The operations Of the Smith law
are so hazy in the minds of good
many taxpayers tnat some explanation
will be necessary. The ordinary read
ei has read and heard "a great deal
about the "one per cent bill' that he
has come to believe that absolutely
nothing over that amount may be
levied. This is not the case. Where
ever rate is over ten mills. the ad-
ditional levy Is made for the purpose
OF taking care OF the sinkins fund,
and is authorized by law.
For instance, the rate in Marion cor
lporation is 13 mills. The additional
three mills is levied for the purpose
ut taking care of the sinking fund.
The amount to be raised for city pur-
lpcses is $4,000. for schools SIS, ilS, for
