TAKE 1T OFF, GENTLEMEN /!

Two weeks ago, under the above
caption, i suggested to the incoming
local officials the advisability of re-
moving from the taxes 90 per cent
that was added two years ago. The
question as to whether SO per cent
was added, or only 33 1-3 per cent,
has been raised with more or less
correctness. should have been, pos
sibly, more explicit in my statement,
i. e., 1t would have been better to
have said, "Take off the SO per cent
added to the taxes levied for general
purposes"
1t is not necessary, however, to
dwell upon this question. There Is
a fixed tax OF 10 cents per 500 of
assessed valuation for the purpose of
retiring railroad bonds, and also
similar fiXed't for the retirement
OF school bonds-20 cents per $1OG|
for the two items. Up to two years
ago the levy for general purposes was
40 cents on each 500 Of assessed
property valuation, and two years ago
this levy was raised to 60 cents on
the 800. The result is the same,
whether It Is called a raise Of 33 1-3
per cent over the former total levy
for all purposes, or raise Of so per
cent on the levy that is available for
general purposes. One-third, or 33 1-3
per cent, added to a total tax rate of
60 cents on 500, increases the tax
levy to 80 cents per 500; and the
same result Is obtained through
bond retirement levy OF 20 cents per
500, tax rate for general purposes
OF 40 cents, with the addition Of SO
per cent to the latter. The result Is
just the same-a total levy Of 80
cents per 500 Of assessed valuation.
And 33 1-3 per cent added to a CO.
cent total levy digs into the pockets
Of the taxpayer just as deep as does
the addition Of SO per cent to 40
cent levy for general purposes, with
the other bond-retiring levy remain
ing the same. The difference Is quite
the same as the difference between
tweedledum and tweedledee
nave no reason whatever to
change my opinion that the proper
thing to do Is to
Take off the SO per cent added to
the taxes levied for general purposes.
Take off, also, the SO per cent add
ed to the street taxes.
/,>My position Is not based on a mere
yItheory, but 1t has the record Of years
to commend it.
