TAX SKETCHES.
(By the County Assessor.)

Foreword Owing othe fact that
a very small per centage OF the tax
PAYERS of our time are but vaguely
familiar with our state laws govern
ing revenues and taxation, 1t has oc-
CURED to our present assessor to FOR
mulate this series of tax schetches,
or a brief synopsis of the more I'M
portant and essential points that
should be thoroughly understood by
every business man, every farmer nad
every school child in fact, and most
certainly every tax payer 1t is desired
and requisite that these tax schetches
feature, primarily, local conditions. IL
would be utterly impossible to cover
adequately, in a series of this KIND,
the great subject of revenue and tax
alton, time and space would not per-
nit. and much of our present laws
on the subject are so Anticipated and
in it's entirety, as to
render the same dull and uninterest-
ing. Neither is it desired, in these
sketches, to advance a remedy for eX-
listing tax evils and burdens; as opin-
ions on these subjects are as prolific
as they are varied.
