Tax Reduction Possible. County
and Municipal Budget
Systems

Jackson, Miss, Aug. 20, 1922
To The Taxpayers
Do you want your taxes re-
duced? A new law was enacted
in 1922 enabling you to do so.
Chapter 225, Laws of 1922. gives
a majority of the voters the
right to reduce taxes. 1t author
ICES a majority Of the resident
property owners to petition an
election as to whether taxes may
be imposed for any item of eX-
pense, for the county, city, or
town. 1t prohibits, after such
petition has been filed, the
Supervisors or Aldermen from
imposing taxes, unless an cleo
ton favoring the expenditure
has been held.
This law requires the Boards
of Supervisors and Aldermen to
publish, in September, state
ment of the money expended by
them during the previous year,
and Of the money which they
propose to eXpend for the various
items of expense during the en-
suing year. This is called
BUDGET OF EXPENSES. "
1t makes a Supervisor or Alder
man liable on his bond for voting
for any expenditure exceeding
the amount set out in the Pub
lished Budget.
If you will investigate, care
fully, you wilhfnd that schools
and roads, and other public
necessities, are responsiblefor a
large part Of your taxes; that
county and local taxes are by far
the largest part OF your taxes.
This is a business proposition
that the Legislature has pro-
vided to give you right to sat
isfy yourselves as to what will
be done with your money. or to
stop Wastefulness and eXtrava
gance in the expenditure OF
same by your county and muni-
cipal boards, The HIGH TAX
RATES mot the high assessed
Valuations are responsible for
HIGH TAXES. There is not
longer Taxation without Rep
resentation. This new law en-
ables you to lower taxes We
urge you to take advantage Of it,
See that the Boards publish the
budgets, and make no allowances
in excess of them. Please salts
fly yourselves as to the necessity |
and honesty of the expenditure
of your money by these Boards,
or halt, by contrary election,
the wasteful and extravagant
Of your money by |
them.
Yours very truly,
DUCAN L. THOMPSON,
Adv Chairman.
