OUR TAXES WILL
BE HIGHER !.

If you have the same amount of
property. this year that you had last
year your tax notices will call for
more money this year. If this is
bad news to you we are sorry to be
the bearer of bad news, but that is
the simple truth and the sooner you
know 1t, the better. There is an
other, thing about it we want to tell
you. The sweeter you keep about
it, the better. It. will not do any of
us any good to get mad and storm.
1t will take just SO many dollars and
so many cents to settle our tax bill
whether we get mad about it or
whether we keep sweet tempered.
The state tax this year will be a
little lower. The school taxes will
be higher, in all the districts or
about all of them. The municipal
taxes will be higher this year.
There is one thing you don't have
to worry about this year. Your
prices will not be made much higher
by reason of the good roads we built
this year and last year. The auto
bile license tax or our share of it
has been applied on that account
and it nearly paid it off. There is
only $500 that we have to raise
by taxes this year to keep up our
payments on that 100000 bonded
Indebtedness. $500 is about 50
per family or about 40 cents per
capita Of the population.
A complete statement Of the tax
situation will be found in the COM
missioners' proceedings of this issue
