Harry Lennon, who recently violat-
ed his parole from the penitentiary

A family picnic in honor OF Mr..

the John c. Nelson home near Bray
ton last Sunday at which there were
$50 persons, and practically all OF
them were Nelson's, in fact the en-
tire gathering was composed Of Mr..
Nelson's relatives. The family is
one Of the oldest in Audubon coun-

formed at Sundays gathering. A
straw vote was also taken on the
presidency and resulted in 65 votes

AUDUBON co TAXES LOWEST

Tax figures just compiled in the
state auditors office, show that the
total tax per capita in Iowa for all
purposes, will average $34.01, where
as the state tax per capita only
amounts to $3.50. The average citi-
zen therefore pays out $34.01 in
taxes for all purposes and of this
amount $3.50 is for state taxes.
A portion OF this amount collected
for state taxes, goes back to the
counties. The state collects the
funds with which the salaries of dis
trict judges are paid although the
service rendered is to a district and
not to the whole state. The big per
cent of the state taxes goes to the
maintenance Of the state institutions
under the board of control and tie
three state educational institutions.
The school taxes together with the
road and bridge taxes, constitute
big per cent Of the money collected
by the counties and by the state
Out of this average per capita tai
OF $34.01, the annual school tax
amounts to $3.50 and the road and
bridge tax 1924.
The total population of Iowa Is
2,35S,066. The property is assess
ed at one-fourth its actual value OF
s4,S13,711,SS4.
According to these figures Audi
bon county shows the lowest tax per
capita, being $15.87 with Dicker-
son the highest, the tax per capita
being $500. The school tax in
Dickinson county is s20.42, and the
road tax, s10.S2, showing that the
county is paying for high class i'm
provements and road and bridge i'm
provements just 81 the present time.
In Clay county the total per capita
tax is $49.02 and in Polk county,
S4S.90.
