The farmers pay 10 per cent.

Answer:
The farmers pay 10 per cent.
Olympia pays "a per cent.
Timber holding companies pay about q per
cent
Public service corporations and railroads pay
"a per cent
Unimproved lands, held by SPECTATORS pay 10
per cent.
Miscellaneous items. such as tide lands and
oyster lands, ETC.. pay ~ per cent.
Right here is the meat upon the side OF those
favoring the bonds: AS fast the timber is cut
and removed it cannot be taxed any longer and
at the rate it is being cut now, in less than 20
years p per cent of our taxes borne by the
standing timber must be shoudered by the farm
ers, towns and cities of Thurston county, and, in
the event the United States keeps the railroads
permanently, the 24A per cent of our taxes
coming from the railroads will also have to be
paid by the farmers and town property
Looking at the question from this viewpoint, it
cannot be denied that for the average resident
taxpayer of Thurston county-farmer or town
taxpayer-if it is admitted that highways
must be paved within 10 years, we'll afford to
pay 25 per cent more for the labor and material
while the war is on, and proceed at once in place
of waiting until the timber is mostly gone, and
shoulder the entire burden of taxation caused by
hard surfacing the roads.
The taxpayers of Olympia should keep in mind
also the fact that unless the county will absorb
through bonding proposition the 500, 900 1t will
require to build the bridge on West Fourth street
over the Des Chutes waterway that the already
Over-burdened taxpayers within the corporate
limits of Olympia will be forced to pay this $780,
900 separately out Of their pockets, by way
of an assessment plan, fathered by the city
council of Olympia, and this is in addition to
regular general road and bridge fund levy which
is state law and hard to change.
The present amount of taxes paid for roads and
bridges in Thurston county, of over $173,O0O
nually, can be made to take of the sinking
fund of 100000 yearly and the interest fund in
the proposed 100000 issue, If properly man
aged and handled without increasing the taxes
dollar, by taking $40,SOO yearly from the pres
ent road maintenance fund and set it aside for the
benefit of sinking fund, $4,000, and interest
fund averaging about $10,8O0 yearly. This
be done without seriously interfering with the
workings of the road districts away from the main
highways.
Very respectfully,
