question, "How are these things to be
paid for ?' In other cases OF school
districts, where the struggle is to make
both ends meet, agitation is raised for
division. and soon those people who
could hardly support one district prop
erly are wrestling with the problem of
how to support two.
Here are some Of the causes for the
high taxes against which there is a
universal protest. A halt must be
called in disbursements, or better
ment can never be expected. There
will be = large delinquent list this
year, for people have not the money
to meet their taxes, which necessarily
means another levy this year as heavy
as that of last. Rigid economy in every
department Of county government
might prevent another excessive levy,
but owing to the enormous size and
rough topography of the county>it is
almost impossible to reduce expendi-
tnres. So long as the county is as it
is people will be compelled to pay high
taxes, and they might as we'll take
their medicine and at least pretend
they like it.
