When you've licked ev'ry Yankee lad
You'll lick the U.S.A.

the following
We wish to preface our report with
the statement that it is not the lnten-
tion or desire of this committee to con-
demn any public official or critcise
any Of their acts, but to take up the
tax matter as a purely business prop
osition and adjust the collection and
expenditure Of tax money to fit exist
ing conditions, which are decidedly alb
normal.
Cur wives, mothers and sisters are
demonstrating their patriotic zeal by
taking the places Of and performing
the work formerly done by our men
who have gone to the front, and since
we are permitting them to perform la
Dor which we never dreamed of their
doing few years ago, we believe that
it is the duty of our public officials to
limit public expenditures to necessities

of our citizens to approve and support
our officials in conducting the busines,
of our county, city and school districts
along economical lines as far as it is

In 1914 the per capita tax in Hood

was S4l.26.
1t appears that there are more vot-

necessary to accommodate the reduced
number of voters since so many men
have gone to war and a large saving
could be made by reducing the number

The wide variation in the cost of
