COUNTY TAX RATE

We wonder if the taxpayers Of
this county have stopped to think
over the county tax rate and the
amount of hard cash it will take
from their pockets. If they have
not, the following figures will give
them something to think about:
In 1912, the county rate of Sl.O7
on the 500 put in the county
treasury Sl94.l56.6l, as shown by
the books. This year the commits
sioners raised the county tax rate
to S1.34 on the Sl00. Now let us
see what this rate will produce fo.
county purposes. The tax roll as
turned over By the assessor, in
cluding the personal property, on
which he collected the taxes, foot
ed up approximately S20,6l2,234.
Add to this the ten per cent raise
made by the State Tax Commission
on Sl9,S02,2S4, the approximate
assessed valuation of the county ss
turned over by the assessor upon
which taxes are to be collected.
aad we have S22, ,592, Asst, upon
which taxes are to be collected at
the rate of s. "a on the $100. This
will produce the enormous sum of
S3O2, 1882, for county purposes.
an Increase over the amount CO.
ieeted on the 1912 roll of Sl0S,-
582.3l for the same purposes. 1t
must be understood that these 81
ures are based ipon the appfoxi-
mate footings of the tax roll ard
may not be absolutely correct. bs-
cause of changes made in the II
since it left the assessor. But they
are the only figures obtainable at
the present time and must be TAX
en- as q basis for this article.
During the first nine months of
this year, there has been paid 10
the county treasurer the sum of
$50, ,526.93 for general licenses,
sheep licenses and fees collected
by the various officers, all of which
went into the county funds. As
suming that same monthly average
of 1891 88 will be maintained for
1914, the county will receive S4O,-
602.56 from these sources. This
added to the $302. 1882 raised
from the tax roll makes total of
$345,34l,4S at he disposal of the
commissioners for next year. OF
course, some of the property will
become delinquent. Let Us deduct
$4,000 from this amount for de-
linquencies and changes in the tx
roll, liberal estimate for these
purposes, and we have 1893, ,341 .48
for county expenses next year.
1t is evident that the commis-
toner's could not foresee the raise
made by the tax commission wien
the tax rate was levied. but thay
knew of it in plenty of time to
make corresponding reduction
in the county rate and failed to do
it. For this failure we believe,
they deserve censure.
Now, what arc the commissions
ers going to do with the noney
they will have at their disposal
next year? They must have had
some object in view when they lev
led this outrageous county tax
rate. What that may he. time will
develop.

SYMPTOMS OF CONSUMPTION
Yield to Vinol.

. The medical profession do not be-
lieve that consumption is inherited,
'Dut a person may inherit a weakness
or tendency to that disease.
A prominent citizen of Evansville,
Ind, writes: Il was i'll for five
months with pulmonary trouble, and
had the best of doctors; l had hemorr-
hayes and was in a very bad way.
Through the advice of a friend | tried
Vinol, and l feel that it saved my
life. 1t is all you recommend it to
be. | believe it is the greatest medi-
cine on earth. | have advised others
to try Vinol, and they have had the
same results" (Name furnished on
%request.)
Vinol soothes and heals the infamed
surfaces and allays the cough. Vinol
creates an appetite, strengthens the
digestive organs and gives the patient
strength to throw off incipient pulmo-
nary diseases.
Try a bottle of Vinol with the un-
derstanding that your money will be
returned if 1t does not help you.
