WHERE THE MONEY GOES

The article published below, taken
from the Okanogan Independent
shows how the tax money of this
county is to be spent during the next
fiscal year. The amount to be raised
| by taxation is half million dollars.
| Millions are modest in these days
when the government talks in billions,
but touching this population for half
a million at this time Is going to
| make lot of us who have to pay our
pro rata squirm to make the ghost
walk when the time comes for the
ghost to do his walking. 1t is a time
when everybody feels that 1t is a real
blessing to be poor. for there are few
bills the public meets with greater
feeling of protest than, when called
upon TO pay taxes. One reason for
this is that the county spends big
pot of money and the people have very
little to show for it. This is particu-
arly the case with the vast sums col
lected for roads. The amount collect
ed runs up to about 100000 every
year, and the roads look as though
about ten cents were spent in repairs
and Improvement We who lived in
the county score or more years have
cried out repeatedly and racously
against the shocking waste of road
moneys. but the protest has secured
little attention among those who are
empowered to distribute, and gener-
ally waste, this fund. There are more
roads than they were twenty years
ago, but in the main they are not
much better roads notwithstanding
such vast sums have been paid out on
their construction. But why crouch?
1t is the system, and the public should
accept the system, pay promptly and
look pleasant. 1t will be noted in
connection with the article that the
property owners of the county pay 81
mills taxes this year. That is and
four tenths per cent. That is consid-
cred pretty fair interest on money
loaned out and is considerably more
than hundreds of citizens OF the coun-
ty are drawing on Liberty Bonds.
Firty-four mills is too high a tax and
it is to be hoped that in the course gf
time the commissioners will be in
position to cut the levy down to a
more reasonable sum. However let
us be thankful that We are alive, that
the levy is no higher and that by some
interposition of Providence We may
be able to meet the bill when it be-
comes due:
1t is interesting to note how the
$hO6.699,S9 raised by taxation in this
county is to be spent, or in other
words how it is divided into the diff
ferent funds. Following is an abstract
of the 1918 report sent to the state
bureau of inspection by County As
