LIGHT ON LOW TAXES.
(Continued from Page 1.)
RIES CUNiNGHAM At Portland.
tion, amounts to the sum of $22,565,- j
629; and it will riQire a levy of 7 mills
on the dollar to raise the required
amount of revenue. Had the board of
equalization not raised the valuation as
returned by the assessor, the levy would
neeBssarily have had to be about 11.7
mills on tho dollar. This amount would
be 1.2 mills higher than the county tax
was last year, but we have to pay about
$4K)l) more state tuxes, $"lil4 more
school taxes and $.0i0 for the election
expenses, which will account for the in
crease almost exactly.
So, as I said before, it will not make
a particle of difference with the amount
each taxpayer will have to pay whether
we made the raise or not. We had to
raise a certain amount of money and
the low was based on the amount to
be raised and not on the valuation of
tho property, except relatively.
Kvery school district and towu iu the
county was duly advised of the action
of the board of equalization and alio of
the amount that the property in their
respective districts totaled, so that they
could base their tax levies on the new
Valuation.
Lovies Made for Year.
The levies made by the county court
for the coming year are as follows, to-wit:
For county school, l.S mills. .$ 40.G1S.1H
For state tax, 1.1 mills 3).lio.00
For roads, 1.6 mills 30,105.00
For general county fund, 2

Which amount I think you will find
is as little as the eounty court is justi
fied in levying, as we will certainly
have to cut out all extras and be pretty
iineonifortabl ystinyy to pull through
without inoreasinij that heritage that
has been handed down to us by those
who have irone before. I refer to the
countv debt.
From your article it would seem that
von are in some doubt whv taxes are
hitfh and also what goes with the
inonev. If vou will take a few min
utes' time each month our obliging
county clerk can show you exactly
what everv dollar is expended for.
Kverv bill is filed and the number of
the warrant issued therefor is mini
bored the same as the bill, and each
month's bills arc filed in a separate
package so that it is very little trouble
to ascertain what goes with the money.
Comparison with City.
If you will take the trouble to com
pare the county levy with that of your
own city and school district you will
not have to study long to know why
the citizens of Medford have to pay
pretty stiff taxes.
Please compare the city's 14-inill tax
with the county's 2-mill: also tho city's
7-mill school tax with the county s l.S
mill.
Some of the country school districts
have levied school taxes far in excess
of the entire lew made by the county
for all purposes and one in particular
has levied a 20-imll school tax tor the
vear 1SHIS.
The countv court at all times is mix
ions to have their work inspected and
will nlwnvs esteem it a favor to be
called down if we exceed our authority
or are in anv way remiss in the per
formance of our duties; but wo would
humbly ask to be permitted to explain
to vou anv matters over which wo have
control, if vou do not understand them
and would most respectfully ask your
sumiort and co-operation in the iipluiim
ing of Jackson county. Very truly,
(I IX). V. IH'NX, County Judge.
Mr. and Mrs. li. C. Kclitner gave
partv at their homo in South Medford
last night ill honor of their daughter,
