the merchants, the bankers, the manu-
facturers and the big property owners
who bore the heaviest burdens of tax
alton when times were good.
The farmers in the country sur
rounding the town are also among the
heaviest sufferers from ehe ebbing of
the towns prosperity. A certain
amount of money must be raised by
taxation to provide for the expenses
of the county. Roads must be built
and kept in repair Bridges must be
built and maintained. Salaries of
county officers must be paid. County
institutions for the care of the sick
and the poor must be maintained. In
counties which contain one or more
thriving towns, large proportion of
the taxes for the county are paid by
the towss. The greater the wealth
of the towns and the higher the prop
erty valuations, the lower the tax levy
for the entire county. When the tax
levy is low the burden placed upon the
farmer is light.
Burden Falls on Farmer.
When the county contains no pros
porous and wealthy towns, the greater
part of the burden of taxation for the
county falls upon the farmer. The
value of the farmers property does not
fall in proportion to the value of the
property in the town and the higher
tax levy that results from the lower
property values in the towns makes
his taxes higher.
The farmer forgets at times that he
is vitality interested in the prosperity
of This town." He thinks that it is up
to the town to take care of itself and
that it is up to him to take care of
and he overlooks that fact that
the prosperity of the town means as
much to him as it does to those who.
live in it. The farmer who is inclined
to overlook this fact has only to think
of the matter of taxes and he is likely
to change his point of view for taxes
are one thing that neither he nor any
one else can escape, and they are one
thing in which the farmer ordinarily
takes very lively interest.
How Farmer Can Help.
There is just one way in which the
farmer can best promote prosperity in
the town near which he lives and that
is by spending his money in that town
instead of sending it away to the far
distant city. Every time the farmer
sends an order to a mail order house
he helps to destroy the prosperity of
his own community and to boost his
own taxes. When he sends a dollar
away from home he gets none of it
back. When he spends a dollar at
home, part of that dollar comes back
TO him in some way. 1t helps the town
where it is spent to provide a profit
able market for his products and it
helps the town pay large part of his
taxes.
The farmer is the one man in the
above all others, who
should have no love for the mail order
houses for they are doing more to add
to his troubles than any other one
agency

TAXES RAISED

Copyright, 1917 Western Newspaper Union J
Taxes are always heavy-to the man
who has to pay them--but taxes in
some communities are much higher
than in others. If you have ever
stopped to investigate the matter you
have discovered that the lowest taxes
are found in the most prosperous COM
munities. And there's a reason.
The prosperous community has the
lowest taxes because there is a large
amount of wealth in the community
against which the taxes may be as
sessed. There are prosperous mer-
chants with large stocks of goods up
on which taxes are levied. Property
values are high and there are thriving
industries which pay large proper
ton of the taxes.
The higher the property values and
the greater the wealth of the commu-
nifty the lower are the tax levies, for a
lower tax on each hundred dollars of
valuation is required to produce the
necessary revenue for the administra-
ton Of the city and county govern
mentS.
other Taxes Are Raised.
On the other hand, take dead town.
Property values are low. Merchants
stocks are small and they have little
money in the bank. Industries which
ordinarily pay large part of the taxes
of community have closed down.
There are vacant store buildings which
were formerly filed with stocks of
merchandise upon which the owners
paid heavy taxes. Who pays the taxes
that We're once paid by the mechants,
the manufacturers, the bankers and
the men who had large holdings of
high-prieed property! The taxes to
conduct the city and county govern
ments, to maintain the schools, to build
and repair the roads must be collect
ed from someone. Who pays them?
The man who owns his little home or
the vacant lot or two upon which he
has been planning to build his home
must pay double or triple the amount
which he paid in the times when the
town was prosperous, to make up for
the taxes which are not paid now by

Wheat-Higher temperatures over
the belt failed TO bring out any COM
pHcations of crop deterioration and in
consequence sentiment again became
pess mistic as to stability of the mar
ket. Further liquidation was particu-
larry noticeable in the July wheat
which was 1-2 below the previous
low mark There was evidence Of sup
port on the decline, at the close the
tone was rather firm. Belgium, Spain,
Germany and Italy were in the market
and took about two million bushels
for export despite the report that Ar
gentlne wheat laid down on the cont
nent is now slightly cheaper than Am
erican. All United States cash mar
kets We're easy and some to 4 cents
lower while strange enough Winnipeg
cash wheat was strong with number
northern being 22 cents over their
May. On the surface the domestic sit
uation appears quite bright but this
condition is now a matter Of history
and we believe there is far greater
probability Of occurrences in the i'm
mediate future changing for the bet
ter than of becoming more pessimis-
tic.
