ing too highly taxed as that of
having nothing result from the
money which has been expend-
ed. In other words. it il a ques-
ton Of not getting a dollars

II any business. If any farm,
attempted to run as the county
has lately. it would be bankrupt
within two years. As q concrete
illustration, II one hundred thou
sand dollars was divided among
the departments of a business
as the superintendent of each
department chose, would the
money be wisely spent? Yet
that has been done to q penny,
among our county commission
ers. For, about year ago. Pine
County was bonded to the a.
mount Of one hundred thousand
dollars, each commissioner was
given q portion of the 500. 600
to spend for roads, as he him
self desired. With no attempt
at coordination, there il little
wonder that the taxpayers are
getting so little for their money.
This is no place for a detailed
discussion Of the subject. But
any comment which only criti-
cises adversely, and suggests no
remedy is poor criticism. Who
then is at fault? Ourselves, and
ourselves only. When we will
elect to the board of county COM
mission, men who have had little
or no business experience, who
however well they may mean,
enter into the construction of a
poor farm building with build
ing material at its highest point.
and who thus add Al mills to
our already heavy tax rate, it is
time to call halt. Only when
you and will elect county COM
missioners who will know when
they, as our representatives. are
getting a dollars worth of value
out of a dollar spent. can we ex-
pect relief.

COUNTY COMMISSIONER
STEFAN WRITES on
TAXES

Editor:
Would beg for space in the col
umns Of your valuable paper to
answer Mr.. Clint Boo's article.
which appeared in last weeks is
sue of the Pine Poker.
The article is so senseless and
foundationless that one can't
help but he. heard.

it appeared to me that Mr.. Boo
has been sound asleep for the
past several years and just re-

realized that taxes seem rather

as he himself desired, with no at
tempt at coordination. Where DE-
you get that stuff Mr.. Boo! II
Mr.. Boo will go to county audi
tors office he will there find or
record that this money was ap'
propriated to the various town.
ships in Pine County according
to valuation of each township re.
spectively. and the money was
spent under the supervision of
the different town boards of the
different townships on the roads
where repairs were most needed.
Would also assure Mr.. Boo that
this money was spent very eco
nomically and to very good ad-
vantage by these boards. Mr..
Boo also seems to- think the coufi-
ty commissioners pos ess very
little or no business knowledge
or ability. Well this board will
not take this very seriously con-
sidering where the remark
comes from. but had Mr.. Boo
himself possessed just a minor
part Of the above he would have
availed himself of some of the
facts before he mounted his high
horse and then perhaps he would
not fall off.
Mr.. Boo also realizes the fact
that this Is no time to be build
ing poor house when everything
is so high. This board and eve
rybody else knows that, but the
fact is that the county board
was forced to build and simply
could not get out Of it. But had
the $4,000 bond issue carried at
our last election our taxes would
have been considerable less. On
failure of the bond issue the
board had to levy the $4,000 all
in one year, thus adding several
mills to our tax rate.
] beg to say that l am a new
member on the board of county
commissioners. Just served a
few months l am not concerned
in this 500, 600 bond or spending
OF same. nor the poor house pro-
ject which was also started be-
fore | got on the board, but l
am hereby assuring Mr.. Boo and
the taxpayers of our worthy
county that the commissioners
have done just as Mr.. Boo or
anybody else would have done
had they been the commissioners
for there was no other way out
OF it. Would advise Mr.. Boo to
read Commissioner Anderson's
article on taxation. | think he,
will then feel better.
| also wish to say that any
mass meeting called by the tax
payers to arrive at some way
that our taxes may be reduced
in the future is heartily ap-
proved by me and the rest of
the board of county commissions
ers. for | ana heavy taxpayer
myself in this county and will
protect the taxpayers as much
as | can. But under the prevail
ing conditions the taxes will be
rather high every year as we are
living in different stage of life
than We did eight or ten years
ago and we must get accustomed
to the present conditions.
Very truly,

! A few years ago part of the
taxes and poll tax were worked
out on the roads, now we have
to pay for that work in cash.
The town and county boards
are not responsible for that
change. In 1919 we bonded the
county for 100000 urged to do
SO by delegations from every
part of the county, money divid-
ed as to assessed valuation.
In 1920 we bonded the eoun-
ty for $4,000 to take up out
standing warrants. The bonds
drew 5 "a per cent interest, the
warrants drew 6 per cent inter-
est.
Furthermore we are promised
this money back from the state.
Any loss?
At the general election last
fall Pine County voters were
called upon to vote for a $50, 900
bond issue. the money to be used
for the erection Of a new house
on the county poor farm.
The county commissioners
would not have built at that time
but were compelled to do so by
state authorities.
The bond issue did not carry
but had the issue carried the
county would have ten or fifteen
years in which to pay. while now
they have to pay it all in one
year. Had the issue carried, Pine
County's tax would be IL mills
instead of over Is mills.
Mr.. Studt says he does not be-
lieve in building roads and
bridges in the county under the
present conditions because the
county has not enough control
and power to do the work and
very near one-half of the money
goes away for blueprints and en-
cheers work before they ever
start to build. He SENS to be as
much in the dark about the work
as if he had never been one of
the board of county commission
ers. The cost of engineering for
the Federal road from November

$14.756.66 covering surveys,

Therefore the cost of engineer
ing and supervision is slightly
more than 1 per cent covering
course of construction quite
ways from one-half or so per

Fifty per cent of construction
costs come from Federal aid, 70
per cent of the remainder comes
from the state. Received $37.-
