may be further reduced slightly by
the discount on county scrip, amount
ing to nearly $500.
Instead of the taxes being 800 on
a $4,000 home they are somewhat less
than SAL, and instead of about five
per cent they are actually only about
two per cent.
We have made this somewhat
lengthy explanation in order that the
impression may not be conveyed to
people who might be considering the
matter of locating here that taxes are
so Unfortunately high as five per cent
The are high enough, perhaps too
high, without being magnifed in
the least. And it is also doubt
less true that the assessors
have made mistakes; that the
taxes on some residence property
amount to more than two per cent of
actual value and on other residence
property less than two per cent But
the figures given are the basis of the
assessments and, we think, may be
fairly taken as the average.

TAXES IN CONWAY.

While we endorse the sentiments
expressed in Judge P. H. Prince S
communication, especially as to pub
hcity in municipal affairs, the Log
Cabin Democrat believes that Judge
Prince is in error when he states that
taxes in Conway are about five per
cent and that man who owns a
home worth $4,000 will have to pay
500 year taxes on it.
There are two classes of taxes in
Conway. One is the general property
tax for state, county, school and mu-
nicipal purposes. The other is not
properly tax, but is an annual par
tial payment of the benefits supposed
to be derived by real estate within
certain districts by reason of the con-
struction of two public utilities, the
waterworks and the sewer systems.
But for the purposes of this explana-
ton both may be considered as taxes
Let US see, then, what would be the
total taxes on a residence situated
within both the water and sewer dis
tricts and worth at fair cash valu-
alton $4,000. We may safely assume
that no piece of property is assessed
for the purpose of general taxation
at more than one-half its actual val
Tie, as this is the maximum require
ment of the State Tax Commission
and the county assessor. The great
majority of both real and personal
property is assessed at less than so
cents on the dollar. Assuming that
the $4,000 residence is assessed at
$1,000, the total general property tax
upon it would be $2675, divided as fol-
loves: State tax, for general rev.
enue, school, pension and state cap
itol, 1918; county tax, for general
revenue and for roads, $500; district
school, $500; city tax, $500; total,
$26.75.
Now for the special taxes. We are
Informed by the assessors who levied
the benefits" to be paid by each par
Gel property, that the total amounts
assessed against residence property
within the districts and adjacent to
water and sewer mains are seven and
one-half and five per cent, respective
ly, of the estimated actual cash value
of the property. These assessments
were divided into annual payments
running for a period of II years in
the waterworks districts and 20 years
in the sewer district. The city council
levied for the waterworks district an
annual payment of seven and four
fifths per cent of the total benefits"
not total value-and for the sewer
district, payments Of four per cent of
the benefits in 1914, two and seven
tenths of the benefits annually from
1915 to 1921, inclusive, and five and
one-quarter per cent of the benefits
annually from 1922 to 1888, inclusive.
With this data anyone can carry
out for himself the simple calculation
which will show that in 1914, on
residence worth $4,000, the water tax
will be $11.70 and the sewer tax $500,
or total of $3.50 in special taxes.
From 1915 to 1921 inclusive, the
sewer tax on the same property will
be only 1925; in 1921 the last of the
waterworks assessments viii be col
lected and in the following IL years
there will be only the sewer tax,
amounting to 1925 per year.
The general tax of $26.75 and the
special taxes Of $3.50 would there
fore make the total tax on $4,000
residence for this year $4245, which

Battle Against Another Daugh-

For indecision, Edward Mallory
must have been prize winner, ac-
cording to a suit begun Saturday
morning, In circuit court, by the
Modern Woodmen Of America.
In 1902, Mallory joined the order.
and took out $4,000 insurance. to be
paid to his two daughters. Cordeila
and Angonette. $1,000 to each. A
year later he decided to have the
policy increased to $4,000. A new
certificate was issued. Ten days
later he had another certificate is
sued, this time making the entire
policy over to Charity Mallory, his
wife. In June, 1913, he got still an
other certificate and this time he di-
yided the $4,000 among the two
daughters and wife In the sum OF
$1,000 each.
Feb. 4, 1914, he wrote, asking that
another policy be issued, this time,
leaving 1t all to Angonette. This
letter was received at the lodge head
quarters, Feb. 4. and certificate was
issued, Feb. 10. Mallory. however
died Feb. 8.

TO TEST LAW ON

Court Asked to Mandahus Com

court, will be followed with interest
by politicians in Michigan as It puts
TO test the new law passed by the
last legislature providing for the cleo
ton OF members OF the state central
committees in the primary.
Fritz l.. Radford has asked the cir
cult court to compel the board OF
election commissioners to print his
name on the primary ballot as a can
didate on the Democratic ticket for
state central committeeman. He al
leges In his petition that he was re-
fused this privilege although the act
mentioned specifically. provides for
it.
Judge Durfee, member Of the
commission, says he acted on the ad-
vice of Atty.-Gen Fellows In his re-
fusal. and that an opinion from Mr..
Fellows declaring the law defective
had been fled with the secretary of
state. 1t is expected that the attor-
ney-general will come to Detroit next
week to argue the question In court.
While the sample county ballots
have already been printed, and the
type Is set for the Official ballots,
they have not been run, and should
the courts decide for Radford, IL will
not be a serious matter unless the
case Is delayed until after printing
when II may be found necessary to
print them all over again.
