AND REFORMS SUGGESTED

larger holdings as they should be.
Our suggestions at this time for
relief is that our candidates for as
scs q" and county commissioners
pledge themselves through the com
ty press to bring this about at our
next assessment of taxes provided
they are elected. 1t is no doubt a
big undertaking, but can be done
with proper measures in very
short time, if these officers SO deter
mine and take an interest IN thci!
county, beyond the prruniary bcnc-
hts and hOnora connected with the
office.
Tie ltaSl orr candidates can do Is
IL let our citizens, voters and taN-
payers know how they stand On this
sHbjcct, if they hope 10 be rewarded
,d the ballot box.
We also ask that our candidate
Tor county commissioners pledge
themselves to give each section oi
their district its fair proportion o!
road funds, and not use the largest
part of the road and bridge funds,
where tax is paid on low valuations,
and allow the farmer who pays the
larger proportion of taxes haul his
products to market through the sand.
For the sake of humanity let Us
have good roads, even if We do have
to raise the taxes little. or go in
debt, or issue bonds. What is the
use of throwing up our hands, roll
our eyes to heaven, and howl about
'saddling debt on our pOsterity.
Why should they not help pay for it?
Should the old man work his head
of plowing through the sand all his
life or to pay off the debt for good
roads for the sake of his children
having good roads and all other lux
uries without cent Of expense TO
them? We have no need to worry
about posterity, it will take care of
itself far better than we are doing.
To show you our interest and in
tegrity in this matter, denying that
We have any AK to grind, or any spe-
:ial interests to further beyond
equality and right to all, and to con-
vince you that We will not be bene-
fitted only as other small freehold
ers are benefited, We herewith sub
scribe our names.
But for the sake of right and JUS
tice, you who are elected to these
offices, do something. and do it now.

We, the discharged members o!
The grand jury, not as jurors, but as
citizens. voters and taxpayers OF
polk county, believe from facts that
have been brought to our notice that
we are justified in bringing before
,he public the following statement
and suggestions for the bettcrmcnt Of
cur county.
We find in the matter OF appralsc-
mcnt or assessment OF real ana per
sunal property that in its present
state il is very unequal and UNJUST,
and in a great measure rctardS the
healthy growth of our county.
The small irceholdcrs IN most IN
stances are bearing tac burden ol
taAcs in comparison to the wealthy
and owners, manufacturers culll-
u4nies and corporations. We find IN
many instances small properly own
ers. who are conscientious in making
their returns, are paying taxes on
from 30 per cent. TO full valuation
Of their property, while some OF our
wealihiest land owners and corpora
lions are only paying from IL to
10 per cent of the value of thelr
holdings. Is this fair and just? Is
il in accord with our principles OF
true American republic and our
constitution? Should not our labor
ing class and the farmers who build
m the wealth of our county ana
State, who are improving our iandS
and increasing the value Of all prop
erty receive Just, fair and impartial
treatment in the matter OF taxation,
rather than to allow those that are
denuding the county of her most val
uable assets to only contribute a tax
on q paltry 9 I-2 per cent to 10 per
cent of the value of their holdings!
Fellow citizens, this is matter
for very serious consideration, and
sbould be remedied without delay. or
il will be only short time until we
will have only barren land where our
fine forests now are or have been,
and only holes in the ground ana
niles of sand where our valuable min
eral deposits have existed
With a proper and equal valuation
OF all property in the county at only
% per cent. of its true value, We
shouId have an assessed valuation of
over $4,000, 900, the millage could
be reduced to 10 to IL mills, and a
majority of the small property own
ers would only be asked to pay one
third of what they are now COM
PEELED to pay. Even if the valuation
is held at the present amount OF less
than ss.000,000, if properly equal
lied on a % 1-2 mill basis, it would
reduce the taxation on our small
property owners, and increase the
