County Revenue
From State Will
Total One Million
Continued from P0ge y

NOOULtHUSu JTOW IUY6
will probably expend in Montgom-
cry County as much as one million
eighty-five thousand five hundred
forty-eight dollars and fifty-five
cents 1,O85,548.55) more than
was expended last year, the repeat
ed intimations that this is of di-
rect aid to Montgomery County in
the full amount stated is very mis-
leading. While the amount (which
is included in the above figure)
which goes to towns and villages
has not yet been definitely estab-
lished, probably eighty thousand
dollars ($sO,OOo.OO) of this amount
will be expended for that purpose.
II should also be considered that
the increased aid to the public
school system is really belated
recognition on the part of the State
that they have not been doing
enough in this particular and the
fact that the State did increase
school funds has lowered no pres
sure on the county to also appro-
pirate additional funds for this
purpose. The additional State aid
for public education therefore
proved no relief to the county but
in fact has had tire opposite effect.
This however, is not intended as a
criticism of the States additional
appropriation for this purpose, but
is merely to point out that such
appropriation is really of no aid to
the county in the matter of secur-
ing lower taxation.
at should further be pointed out
that in the case of the lateral gaso-
line tax and the income tax, most
of the increase appears to be due to
increased revenue in the natural
order of events rather than to more
generous treatment to the county
from the State. do not, however,
have sufficient information to ac-
tually analyze the expected in
creased revenues from the lateral
gasoline tax and income tax in orr
der to show exactly how much of
this increase is due. to additional
revenue and how much to the
change in method of distribution
under the Sherbow report. AS
nearly as / can estimate at the
present time the revenues received
by the county from sources former
ly retained by the State which have
actually resulted in easing the
county's financial situation amount
to approximately three hundred
thousand dollars $500, O00.00) or
about fifteen cents ($.15) on the
tax rate"

The farmers share of the city food
dollar was reported early in lsl1 as
2 little over ~ cents. compared with
~ cents early in 1916. But his actual
share was undoubtedly less than these
figures show. as they do not include
the effect OF the black market"
This is the conclusion of Labor
Research Association in lis new Labor
Fact Book $. II points ont that farm
income is directly related to the pur-
chasing power in the hands of city
| workers.
When city wages are low and work
ers are unemployed. consumers pur'
chasing power is less and farmers
income declines. In the war year 1913
wheir wages were higher. per capita
consumption of milk in the United
States was 26fc more than in the
depression year 1888 when wages
We're low. Per capita consumption
of beef was i3o6 more in 1912 than

II you haven't picked up on the
latest, here is a brief on what a
couple of the kings of the field did
at the state track meet.
DON RILEY, always a head
liner, still takes the top line of most
Of the papers in this town. Don, the
ideal young man, stole a first in
the discus, and took a second in
the shot-put.
Don has so many medals now
that he will soon need wheel
barrel to carry them in. If he keeps
up the good work he will without
a doubt win the medal for having
the most medals.
DICKIE MAYES, the city and
state champ in the 100 yard dash,
took a defeat in the state meet
this year, but it was one of those
deals that cause one to sit on edge
as the two favorites put all they
have into that last yard. Dickie
lost but it was really close one.
Perhaps some Of the guys and
gals have picked up on the mad
little hat that JEAN JAMES has
now picked up on. You may now
call him Montgomery, civi-style.
