cents less 1927 eqals an increase of
only $3.50 in the state tax. A large
part of this small increase goes to
the soldiers fund and to the increased
expense in running the State Educa-
tional and Penal institutions. GIG
less $2O.72 equal $25.44 increase in
the county tax which is more than
twice that of the state increase. This
shows two things: 1st, the state tax
is responsible for only 1890 Of The
increase; End, the I. V. A. have at
tempted to deliberately deceive the
taxpayers.
The League laws gave me a net
gain on this quarter also. The same
amount of insurance in an old line
company would have cost me $1O1.5O.
The state hail insurance cost only
$4,000. This gives me net saving
of 5000. / also received 1881 for
dockage on this quarter which makes
a total Of $79.81 saved by the League
laws. Subtract from this $3.50 in
crease in the state tax and | still have
a net gain of, 1921 after paying all
increase in state taxes. / had a 81
per cent hail loss on this quarter and

ing the fallacy of his arguments.
