5 are wmowrrurmrrpe TIMES VWithaAdit THAT 40 CENTS LEVY. We have been frequently asked why the present county court made a levy of 40 cents on the $100 when the valuation, county is practically out of debt, and there is no public de- an additional levy at this There was absolutely no ne sity for this large With our present valuation of 37,748,472 mand for time. ce sevy a 30 cent levy would raise a revenue 245.41, other besides the revenue from sources, such as back taxes, insurance, dram shop license, merchants tax, ete. Now the run- ng expenses of the county.econom- ically administered, ought notto be over that amount. It might be said that the unnec essary and burdensome taxes add- ed to the people was one of the pe- culiar characteristics of the reform county court. But there is a strong motive in the The county stands very much in need of a good jail. “It would be a feather court’s action. in our caps and a boost to the Un-| ion Labor cause if we and pay for a jail during our term, “We know the people would vote down that submit one, so we so reason the reform court a proposition of kind if we should just keep the levy up and make the innocents pay the very tax they would repudiate at the polls we will have it on the democrats, who have been trying people to vote a jail.” So far as we are concerned we are to get the in favor of a jail, we need one and we néed it badly, but we are willing to trust the people in this matter and give them a chance to express their views at the polls. the county court in trying to deceive This action of the people, to burden them with ad ditional taxes in order to make cap- ital for themselves party they represent is deserving of the strongest condemnation of all honest men. When the old court in- creased the levy from 20 to 40 cents it was for the purpose of paying off a debt and stopping interest and That object has now been accomplished and the court should at least reduce the levy to cover the actual running expen- ses of the county, economically ad ministered. | We want to keep that idea impressed upon the minds of the reform court. We do not want any surplus in the treasury; it leads toextravagance and profligacy as shown by ovr last eongress. We are glad to say that Judge Fred Fix, the only democrat on the and the reform discounts on warrants. court, voted against this extra levy. | Judge Fix recognizes the fact that if the people of Bates county waut a jail they possess suflicient intelJi- gence to so express themselves at the polls, and it isn’t necessary that these reform judges should assume to think for them, and attempt to deceive them in this manner.
