What should our tax rate be? How
may we obtain the most possible
public benefits at the least possible,
cost? Every tax dodger in the coun-
ty can tell you exactly how it should
be done, yet, he will frankly admit
he has never investigated the trus,
tees office to know.
The God of Heaven made some
laws that man has not been able to
overcome; one of them is that good
things are expensive. Ii we want
better schools and roads we must
pay for them by taxation or by the
credit and bond system with the
attendant added cost of credit prices
and interest charges. A

ton under consideration. The ques-
ton is What shall we do with the
shortage that now exists in every de-
partment of our county finances. =
There are three ways to be con-
sidered We can raise the tax rate,
issue bonds as was done a few years
ago when a similar condition exist
ed, or we can allow the holders of
our warrants to go into court and
collect them at law. Our poor
financing has brought about this
condition One holding a county
warrant issued this year can not
hope to have it cashed till next
year. Because of this condition, a
member of the court stated to the
court that he had to have shout u
per cent more for lumber than he
charged for cash. If all our business
then settled with forty year bonds
at present rates of interest, at the
end of that time our tax rate would
be Sab in order to have the bene-
fits we could have had for $1.00 if
we had paid cash.
The total tax in Venita, Oklahoma,
is above $500 on the full value Of

Every treasury needs honest

better judgment than to vote against
a tax rate to raise funds they ought
to know we must have.
In 1920 the court appointed com

of $115, going to the trustees of

which to base rate. There was a
minority report recommending a
much lower rate, and the gentlemen
making it frankly admitted that they
had not gone to the trustee because
they knew he would recommend
higher figures. The court was

to do so, adopting the minority re

and rather than see things drag and the government accumulate too much money, informed the city council that it was time to take in the rake off for the city.
 This immediately fused up the city council, and they in turn informed the Commission at Anchorage that they had twenty-five or three hundred dollars belonging to Seward that was not working, and would they please stop building railroads long enough to blow back with that amount, and please make it snappy.
 This demand resulted in the arrival of MT. George Colwell, with an arm ful of blueprints, tripods, and seri- ous look on his face, to confer with his honor the mayor, who was dealing the game, and who had certain ideas as to the way the money was to be spent. After a short discussion, it was decided to put on gang of men and a team of horses to work right away, under the supervision of MT. Charles krefting After some trouble over the wage scale, gang was secured to W orBfor 62 1-2 cents an hour, and work started last Monday. The expens- es of the men and team amounts to about fifty dollars a day, so quite a lot of work will be accomplished this fall.

USE is FOUND
FOR WASTE PRODUCT
OF SLATE QUARRIES
.. y Department Of Mines Announces
the Discovery OF Use for
Whit Has Been Waste.

washington, ID. G. - Numerous new
uses for waste product, the refuse OF
slate quarries, are pointed out by the
United States Bureau OF Mines, as the
result OF an investigation made In CO.
operation with manufacturers OF me-
chanlcal rubber goods. From so to 95
per cent. OF the gross production OF all
slate quarries In the United States, has
been discarded as waste, and the ex-
pense involved In handling so much
unstable material has added greatly
to the cost OF finished slate.
As result OF the experiments, 1t Is
indicated that pulverized slate, or slate
flour, may be used satisfactorily as a
filler, to give body" or to supply the
necessary wearing qualities to such
everyday accessories as garden hose,
rubber shoe heels and soles, carriage
tires, and rubber packing and disks of
various kinds. 1t develops also that
eroun dslate may be used to advantage

II Is possible that, with finer grind

tory filler in the making of automobile
