THE TAX QUESnON.
You hear lots these days about
taxes, and many remedies arCj
suggested. You bear a great
deal about poor county govern
ment. It is charged that the
high taxes are chargable to coun
ty government.
Well, it is this way: The
state has been saying what must
be done, and the counties , were
left to raise the money to pay
the expenses. The education de
partment made out a budget and
the county commissioners were
told to levy taxes to meet this,
or go to jail Now don’t blame
the county commissioners for
the high school tax.
The state has been bragging
about not levying any advolorum
taxes. But the special taxes
drain the resources of the coun
ties as effectually as advolorum
taxes.. When money is collected
from a community business suf
fers. To collect taxes in mil
lions lessens the resources of the
people.
It will pot add to the state's
resources to have a commission
of tax consumers to meet and
consume more tax money while
they plan how to get what the
state needs The trouble is, and
the only trouble is, the state and
county expenses are too high.
There are too many people on
the payroll, of the sto‘o in par
ticular, and this suggestion to
add to the county payroll as a
relief measure is silly. If you
want relief, spend'less, not more.
When you take a man off the
earning list and put him on the
fce* oohsuming list, he becomes
a liability, when he bad been an
asset while he supported himself
and more. Even if he costs mo
more than the fees of his office,
this holds good. While he coh
lects fees he hinders somebody's
living chance. Stop a man from
earning and you cripple the corn*
munity. ,
People see no sin in consuming
tax money- that every body pays.
They always claim Bmore than
they get if they are being paid
from public funds People are
queer—don’t want to pay taxes,
but they want more for what
ever of services they render. In
schools and roads we are making
large investment in tax money,
and from thtse investments we
get indirect returns, that is if
there are reiurns, which is ques
tionable. that is not a justifiable
and commensurate return with
the cost incurred. It all should be
done, but at less cost. The edu
rational thought has been com
mercialized, and in the overhead
expense there is that resemblir g
graft, at least an expense ac
count not justified.
If anybody wants refortn, let
them adviicatt' doing ui: they dt
for LESo S op I. vying .‘m niucii
taxes, and gtrt along with the
money raised. Cut everybody’s
pay, aod pay fewer men to do
more work. You cannot collect
BO many millions of taxes, and
support a standing'army of of
ficials. half of whom are useless,
without overdrawing on the
state’s resources and crippling
the state in a business wav.
