The estimated value OF the gold
produced in the Alaska portion of
the Yukon basin in 1912 was S.
Gas, 00G, compared with $1,000. ZOO

increased their output compared
with the preceding year. The Fair

COUNTY TAX RATE

We wonder if the taxpayers Of
this eounty 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 SLOT
on the 500 put in the county
treasury l94,156.6l, as shown by
the books. This year the commits
sioners raised the county tax rate
to $l.34 on the 500. Now let us
see what this rate will produce for
county purposes. The tax roll as
turned over by the assessor, in
Guiding the personal property, on
which he collected the taxes, foot
ed up approximately $20,6l2,234.
Add to this the ten per cent raise
made by the State Tax Commission
on $l9,802,234, the approximate
assessed valuation of the county as
turned over by the assessor upon
which taxes are to be collected,
and we have 22,592,457, upon
which taxes are to be collected at
the rate of 81 "a on the $100. This
will produce the enormous sum OF
$780, 1882, for county purposes,
an increase over the amount col
lected on the 1912 roll of SlO8,.
1921 for the same purposes. 1t
must be understood that these fig
ures are based. upon the approx
mate footings of the tax roll and
may not be absolutely correct, be-
cause of changes made in the roll
since it left the assessor. But they
are the only figures obtainable at
the present time and must be tax.
en- as basis for this article.
During the first nine months OF
this year. there has been. paid tc
the county treasurer the sum Of
$50, 1858 for general, licenses,
sheep licenses and fees collected
by the various officers, all of which
went into the county funds. AS.
Stunning that same monthly average
of So, 391 .88 will be maintained fol-
1914, the county will receive $4O,.
602.56 from these sources. This
added to the $780, 1882 raised
from the tax roll makes a total OF
$343,34l ,48 at the disposal of the
commissioners for next year. Of
course, some Of the property viii
become delinquent. Let US deduct
$40, 900 from this amount for de-
linquencies and changes in the taz
roll, a liberal estimate for these
purposes, and we have 1888, 341 AS
for county expenses next year.
II is evident that the commits
toner's could not foresee the raise
made by the tax commission wher
the tax rate was levied. but they
knew Of it in plenty of time t.
make a corresponding reduction
in the county rate and failed to DE-
it. For this failure we believe
they deserve censure.
Now, what are the commission
ers going to do with the mono!
they will have at their dispose
next year? They must have hac
some object in view when they lev
led this outrageous county ta1
rate. What that may be, time will
