Santa Re. y. NJ. Jan. % tepre-
sentative Palmer. of san Juan county
enjoys the reputation of being the
champion low salary man OF tho
world. Mr.. Palmer IA here pledged to
"a maximum salary OF 81 soc per year

views on salary legislation this after
noon, Mr.. Palmer said to the Herald:
My view Is that the only lust
method Of basing the salaries to be
paid county officials BE- ON services to
be rendered and not on either assess
ed valuation or population. The
proper way To effect this is by classi-
hcation OF counties. PrObabi, there
are no two counties IN the state whore
like salaries should be paid he CORES
ponding officials and the county dele
cations IN senate and house certainly
are come competent TO determine
such matters FOR their respective
counties than any OF the other dolega-
tions representing other counties. I'm
der this theory the DELEGATIONS from
cach county would have the hNing Of
the salary ul every county official u
their counties and the people OF the
respective counties len case OF failure
on the part OF their representative
10 exercise proper judgment would
know how to place the resuousi1llity
correctly, and any defect of this kind
could be- rcmodIod easily by a future
legislature.
1T has been suggested to me that
IN some counties this method might
lead tn enormous salaries or 20 In
sufficient salaries But in either event
the responsibility could not be- shifted
as II undoubtedly could ana would bee
were either the theory ut population
ur assessed valuation adopted. Ia ms
opinion the only possible ground for
objection to this method on the part
of any county delegation would be
fcnr ~ placing the responsibility.

That Americas is ION the map" and

vary large number of touring parties

usual to see a half dozen or dozen

SUMTER'S Loss
TAX VALUATIONS
EXCEED s538,000

More than half million dollars de-
felt is shown in the aggregate prop
erty returns for Sumter county this
year as compared with tax returns for
last year, according to the official
statement given out today from the
Office of Tax Receiver John T. Howell.
The tax digest has been completed and
sent to the comptroller's office in At
lanta, with Sumter on the wrong side
of the ledger for the first time in years.
The actual deficit this year is $685.
GAS, or considerably more than a half
million dollars
The total property returns in Sum-
ter for 1915, the current year, is ST.
950,412. For last year the total re-
turns were sS,4S9,O 06, thus showing
difference this year of $53S,64S in
the way of deficit.
Receiver Howell states that the val
uations of farming lands and of city
real estate as well shows up favor
ably with the returns for 1914, and
the deficit is not chargeable to realty
values. Shrinkage in stocks, and gen
eral depreciation of values, outside of
realty is the cause of the half million
dollars difference he thinks. The
same conditions obtain in many other
Georgia counties this year
