Col.

A democratic county court made | the full leyy of forty cents on the; $100 valuation, on the very best le-| gal advice, with the expectation of | enforcing its collection of all alike, or | if it was found it could not be col | lected, to return to the old method of dividing the 40 cents levy with the townships. We are informed that Judge Connell had an intima-| tion at the June term of court. that | the county's position was not tena- ble and he proceeded immediately to dismiss the test case then pend- ing against the railroad, in order, as | he expressed it, to have the other in the county pay the] levy without question. That is, the) county court had ample opportunity to change the tax books, but in or. der to collect this additional tax of our people, the court sought to de-! ceive them as to the true status off! this railroad case, and leave them in| the dark as to its probable outcome. | The people should be treated fairl in this matter and if a tax is levied! n one it should be levied and col-! lected of all alike. It is not right | to make our people pay a tax, that! the railroads, the largest tax-payers | in the county refuse to pay. In Mt. Pleasant township the board levied 20 cents for road pur poses. This, of course, does not affect parties living in the incorpor ated limits of Butler, for they have to pay a street tax. And, agrin, if parties have already worked out their road tax and have a receipt, they will still have to pay the county levy. 40 cents levy is legal and can be collected.
