How Taxes Are Raised
Dear Editor

Dear Editor
The state authorities make the
levy for the state expenses; the
county commissioners make the
levy for county expenses; the
electors vote on or the directors
make the school levies. So, the
assessor has nothing 20 do with
makir- - 'c,os. So you see
Jne commission ~ not rlake
levies, and yet, more than one
half the taxes from all levies are
for the schools. School levies
vary from 4 mills in districts No.
l anC 2 to 20 mills in No. t3. 1t
is here that most OF the misun-
derstandlng com sin. While the
commissioners have been able to
reduce the county levy for each
of the last three years it has
been more thnn Offset by the raise
IN most OF the school levias.
1t is the duty of eveiy voter to
attend and vote at the school
elections as much so "a the gen.
eral elections. 1t &c there that
the means 81 sGgp. ~ur part

tion is provided for, that -'hich

yet it is a duty sadly neglected.
To illustrate, in 1916, district No.
4, which is Springfield, covering
about the same territory rs their
voting precinct which registered
about 500 voters, polling over
800, at the school election tho
next Spring cast only about a doz.
en- votes. And that is about as
good as the average over the
county.
To illustrate, Smith lives in

and pays S2o.97; Jones lives in
