It should be able to Wce expenditures as much as pos- and they think that all townships, vil-; Sargent county estimated the county | stand upon its cwn foundation, and-all of the expense connected with it should be paid iby those ‘who enjoy its bene- fits. The state hail lay as adminis- tered at the present time is one of the greatest vampires that ‘we have to eat up revenue. Now, do not misunder- stand me to be opposed to the state hail tax. What I am opposed to is the manner in which it is administered under our present law. ‘The expense is too great and could be eliminated, thereby avoiding a large overhead ex- pense which it has got to bear under the present system. “The audtors of this state have sug- gestel time and again systems that would make it more efficient and cost considerable less money to. maintain it.” Wants School District Audit Mr, McCarthy also pointed out that there now is no atidit of expenditures of school districts, no publication of expenditures. and the allowance of claims against the districts, and sug- gested that the boards should pub- lish its proceedings so far as expendi- tures and the salaries paid to teach- ers, aS an economy measure. Chairman Walton, of ‘the board of county commissioners of Dickey coun- \ty, points out some means by which he the taxpayers’ burden is. in- creased. He said: “The grasshopper law has cost us a few thousands of dollars, for which there kas been no benefit. It is cost- ing a little more each year to main- tain the better farming department of our county of which many of our farm- ers complain. “It is also costing more each year fer, mothers’ pensions. The Mothers’ ‘pension law is a nice thing and no one should object to it from a legitimate standpoint, aut it is being abused and We axe; Ngts only paying pensions to People: who.rightfully belong in other states, but are paying pensions to mothers where beth heads of the fami- lies are living and able-bodied. As the law stands now it encourages de- sertions and should be amended to Prohibit that kind of thing, and also as an inducement for people to move in here from other states for the pur-' pose of getting on the pension roll.” » Legislature Boosts “Overhead.” Auditor W, R. Tucker, of Cass coun- ty, points out some laws by which he says the tax burden has been boosted along, including as “the legislature's additional: Jexpenses—bbing double amount now. paid to district court jur- ors and their mileage, the fact that We have a juvenile commissioner, mothers’ pensions, .and increase in some of the county officers made by the last legislature, insane, tuberculo- sis, deaf and dumb, feeble-minded and eemdlae items all have to be taken care of.” He said that the commissioners of Cass county felt the Governor's action in doing away with tax supervisors in each judicial district was a good thing, sayiag the tax supervisor had done no good in Cass county. He said the law creating an addi-| tional payment on real estate taxes had added considerable cost to the county clerical work. The county commissioners of Ward’ county forwarded a resolution in which the board said “it is our aim to scrutinize all expenditures with an eye for economy and our purpose is to protect our county and our taxpayers, to see that the people receive 100 per cent value for moneys expended, and, at the same time, not let anything g0 by default, nor Jet the poor go hungry, or lei go to ruin such improvements as the county has already made, but to economize along all lines and to fur- ther o1ly such projects as haye al- ready been started.” Strong for Idea Auditcr Andrew Blewett, of James- town, wrote that the Stutsman county sible. The auditor of Steele county report- ed that thé taxes had been cut $22,000. He informed the Gcvernor, who was especially pleased with his letter, that after the tax levy had been drawn up the ‘commissioners decided that general conditions which had changed since the levy was made, called for action. They -recalled the tax levy, spent $316.10 on clerk hire to do the work over again, and cut the levy $22,000. Among the city commissions which wrote pledges of economy were thcse ,of Dickinson, Wahpeton, Fargo, New !Rockford, Rugby. Many other letters were received from countiés, LEMKE FUND IS.
