ought to be quite convincing that the
blame is not with school district No. l.
Had we reduced our levy the 2 mills
which it is claimed lis responsible for
the increased tax burden 1t would have
made a difference of about $4,000
and would have reduced the total tax
alton OILS per cent. Make another eX-
animation of your tax receipts and dis
cover il you can why 5000 has raised
your taxes so much beyond the OILS per
cent which is all the school district
gets out of the increase.
This experience will convince the
most skeptical that increasing valua-
tons and lowering assessments is a
treacllerous combination which usu-
ally takes more cash from the pOck-
cts Of the taxpayers rather than less.

HIeH-TAx BLAME
NOT ON SCHOOLS
Trustee Says Higher Classi.
fication Means More
County Expense.
EXPLANATION OF RAISE
Van W0r1ner Says That Edu-
cation Cannot Be Blamed
for Increases.

Editor. The Missoulian-In last sun
claimed that school district No. ! is
largely responsible for this years in
crease of taxes
think an explanation is due the
taxpayers. as they have always been
generous when money was needed for
school purposes.
TO blame the increase in taxes on
school district No. is not only unfair
10 the members of the board. who are
giving their time and energy without
consideration. but is also deceiving 10
the taxpayer ana dveriing his atten-
ton from the real cause.
| will not attempt to explain the
cause, but will mention a result. An
increased valuation means a higher
classification and a higher classified
ton means increased county expenses
BY comparing last years tax re-
ccipts with this years, the following
viii appear:
The city taxes this. year carry an
increase of 40 per cent.
The state taxes this year carry an
increase of 5s.l per cent.
The school district No. this year
carries an increase OF 5S.7 per cent.
County-General fund, poor fund
sinking fund, contingent fund. bridge
fund, general fund. general school and
high school funds-carries an increase
of 65.4 per cent.
In view Of these figures, how can
school district No. l be held solely re-
sponsible for the increase, and why
should it be made the goat? Surely
! school district No. is not responsible
for the 10 per cent increase in city
taxes, for not n cent from the city
goes to school district No. l.
The Montana school law compels
school districts Of class No. | to make
| their levy at the regular meeting in
July. which is the third Tuesday after
the first Saturday. At that time it was
not known what would he done in re-
gard to valuations. A request to APP
pear before the board at this meeting
| was made by the county assessor and
the county treasurer. No representative
was present from the county assessors
office, but Mr.. Ruford. the county
treasurer, attended, and explained &c
the board as far as he had information
but could not say at that time tina,
property valuations would be increased
| Therefore, the trustees of school dis
| trict No. l could not take the chance
by lowering their levy ana run Tho
risk of q shortage of funds.
| AT the time the county commission.
ers placed their levy. it was known tina
property valuations would be increased
| The board in charge of the state lev,
/ did not see fit to make a lower lev,
than 4 mills, notwithstanding the fac
that they had full knowledge of tn,
increased valuation.
| Now, omit if you please the schoo
tax of district No. | and see ii GU
school hoard is responsible for the in
crease as has been stated. We viii
find that state and county will still
