THINKS COUNTY EXPENSES
SHOULD BE GIVEN SLASH

Editor Capital Journal;-I feel as if
had been bled or something of tha.
sort. Have just paid the tax as tax,
eaters must have their dough. whether
there be any left for me or not. L own
farm of 100 acres, seven miles east
of Salem, and being old and disabled,
n must lease at rent never exceeding
5000 per year. Tax this year was
$l5l.44; buildings ard fences must be
kept in repair, soil won back to fertiI
ity and foul and noxious weeds fought.
Should things be done right the rent
would not suffice. Ever since I came
here from Iowa, 12 years ago, taxpayers
have been whining and groaning for re-
lief, but instead heavier burdens were
thrust upon them. don t much hope
for redress. When experience, wealth
and intelligence combine against ignor.
ance, poverty and inexperience, resist
ance is futile. We don't even know
what becomes of and how taxes are
used. Several years ago the county
court with some of their hackers, took
it upon themselves to make special levy
of 100000 for to build an addition tc
the courthouse there yet remain undone.
| have asked those who ought to know
what became of that money and tho
reply is, ''We don t know. " The split
log-drag agitation at that time must
have swallowed lot of money as trips
were taken east and south to study the
wonder and how to use it. Road
supervisors were called to Salem on
certain day to hear and learn of the
mystery of making roads and using this
drag. A road supervisor from Mehama
was out here at the time picking hops.
l saw him coming back and asked him
what he had learned of road making, to
which he replied:
Nothing, but my salary and mileage
were quite an item"
Government should be kept as near
home as possible, then economy and
sense could be practiced. The township
system is preferable and know whereof
/ speak, as l was acting township clerk
in Iowa for some time. The system
of township assessor is far superior.
The pustice of the peace office doesn't
cost the taxpayero much Here county
officers salary could be cut in half

Of the office were considered. Iowo
election board consists of three judges
and one clerk, besides the township
