Mr. Editor: In your July 9th issue of Washington Dally News appeared an article signed "Democrat," aak|gt> the county officers of this county to give to tbe public the amount of fees and commissions received by them each year since they have been in of- ' flee. They so far have aot enlighten ed tbe tax-payers on the question put to them by "Democrat." Let me call "Democrat's" attention to Revenue Laws Machinery Act. session 1909. Page 89, Section 98 and 100. (he can get a copy from The Register of Deeds). If not I'll send him one. If this act has not been complied with on the part ot our officers (and It has not), It's the duty of your Board of Commissioners to see that the law is enforced. He can get the Informa tion from the mlntue docket for Jan uary of each year. I would like to ask these officers. Sheriff, Register and Treasurer, Is they have not paid their income tax? Revenue Laws, Machinery Act for session 1909. scheduled AA, Page {1. Sectioh 22. <8 24, In which It says all Incomes from calary, fees or commissions derived from a private or public source in excess of 11,000, la subjec tto a tax of $1.00 per hun dred (910 00 for S1.000). All of these officers gets anywhere from $2,000 to $3,000 a year, maybe more. Now gentlemen you are asking the tax payers, support at the primaries, be fair and , explain to the tax-payers why you have dodged this tax, held back the voters, money for aot one, but many years. It's the commis sioner's duty to look into this mat ter. Will they do It? You are the people's servants. Will not thaae public servants an swer and let tbe people know what wages they are getting? The people are paying the bills and odght to know how much they ?re paying. Mr. w. M. Butt says the Board of Education pays our County Treasurer $500 for handling the general school fund.
