AN OLD TRICK

FRANTIC efforts to hold down
the tax rate prior to an oncoming
election caused agonizing and per-
spiration in the county commits
sioners office last week. We say
IN THE OFFICE, because we do
not imagine that the present COM
missioners counted for much as
individuals in this, or in any other,
incident, involving the regulation
of county affairs. But the OF
FlCE Qet us say euphemistically)
was much exercised in its efforts
to keep the tax rate somewhere
near the dollar mark, until cleo
ton year is over. AS a result, we
find the examination of few items
in the new list shows that the
commissioners office levied for
these items more than $4,000 less
than the last statement shows they
actually paid out for these same
items. In other words they knew
they were levying below what
they were likely to spend. For
instance, the last statement shows
they spent for roads and bridges"
$42,422, this year they levy $32,-
500, or nearly $4,000 less. For
roads and bridges general their
last statement shows an expen-
diture of $574S, they levy this year
$4,000, or $174S less. For "reduc-
tions and insolvencies" they levy
$500, whereas in the last statement
this item shows up 1910, or a diff
ference of $347o. And SO the
story goes all the way down the
items of the levy until the dozen
items we have lamned show that
they levied $25,o76 less than their
last statement indicates the ex-
penditures to have been for these
items. What does that mean? 1t
means the old trick of the old
gang in handling county affairs.
1t means they will deliberately
make an inadequate levy SO as to
hold the tax rate down before
election and then, when the insult
flciency OF the levy leaves them in
debt, they will borrow money to
tide them over and put the debt
incurred in future levy when no
election is at hand. This borrow
ing money is OF course absolutely
unlawful, but what does the pres
ent reigning dynasty care about
law, when they are so much more
deeply interested in politics; and it
is good politics $50 they think to
hold down the tax rate even if
they have to juggle the levy to do
It. Their are other matters in con-
nection with this subject OF the
levy to which we shall refer later
on. Meanwhile we want today to
simply emphasize the fact that the
present levy and its consequent
tax rate is an old time-worn poll
teal trick that ought to fool no.
body. We would also remark in
passing that a ter all their juggl-
ing the tax rate for this year will
not be $I.o5, but will be $I.27, and
you will find it so to your great
sorrow when you get your tax bill
in October.
