The mass meeting held by the Farm
ers' Union Saturday in the /. 0. 0. F.
hall was largely attended. R. E. Will
liams presided at the meeting and the
following resolutions were passed.
Resolved that
/. AS the county treasurer is the
legal custodian of the county funds we
believe that the finances of the county
should be centralized as far as posi-
BILE in that office. To this end we
urge as both a wise and economic ar
rangement, that the county treasurer
be made ex-Officio tax collector
2. AS the happiness and comfort
of people is greatly increased by the
possession of comfortable homes, we
believe that the building of such
should be encouraged and therefore
recommend that all dwellings and out
buildings to the value of $500 be ex-
empt from taxation.
3. We believe that tree planting
should be encouraged by every legiti-
mate means. The man who plants
trees is the benefactor of the whole
community. AS partial recognition
of the benefits conferred and for the
encouragement of further development
along this line we believe 1t wise
policy to exempt all trees from taxa
ton. Provided, that this is not meant
to include merchantable timber and or
chards after six wears.
4. In our opinion the levying of a
road poll tax fails to accomplish the
desired object; that it is not an eco
nomical arrangement, and often places
burdens on those least able to bear.
For these reasons We believe it should
be discontinued.
5. We feel that the provision in the
revenue laws providing for a general
poll tax is III advised, and generally
obnoxious, and therefore urge its re-
peal.
6. An unnecessary hardship seems
to ue inflicted upon the taxpayer by
the provision requiring that all taxes
be paid by the first day of January of
each year. that this may to some ex-
tent be alleviated, we recommend that
