The reasomwe oppose so stren
uously any increase in taxes is.
because it is a great deal easier
to keep it off before it is put on
than it is to have it taken off
after it has been put on. But the
Hoke county board of commis
sioners may add 15 cents on
the $100 worth of property and
45 cents on the poll, notwith
standing the fact that a large
majority ot the taxpayers of the
county are opposed to increasing
taxes. The board, no doubt,
think they know more than the
editor and others who oppose an
increase in ^ taxes, hence they
may act adverselv to our opinion
.for they are being importuned
by the beneficiaries of the school
funds, and we all do not hear
those pleas, so we must not be
unfair to the board,
'4‘
If the thing is done, by guess,
is it a bad guess to guess that a
larger increase in taxes will be
demanded next year? ^
