CUT THE $116.000 OUT
The $116,500 delinquency tax fund placed in the Ijine
county budget estim ates is to our mind not justified and im
poses a burden upon those who pay their taxes th at they
have never had to face before. It practically nullifies all the
savings the budget com m ittee made by salary slashes and
other economies as far as the benefits to the taxpayers. This
year’s budget estim ates are $102,733 less than last y e a rs
budget passed a t the taxpayer’s meeting. Since the school
funds and election expenses autom atically cut over $90.000
from the budget this year there will be little saying made by
the budget comm ittee if this large delinquency item is allow
ed to remain.
The levying of a tax to take the place of delinquent tax
collection shortages is to our mind double taxation since
these delinquent taxes m ust ultim ately come in or the pro
perty be sold. We can see no justification in placing any
item in the budget for delinquent taxes except perhaps a
small sum to take care of interest on w arrants drawn
against delinquent taxes
There are no w arrants registered against the county
In other
without money to pay at the present time. —
----- words
all the delinquent taxes, which may be 30 per cent at the
end of the year, are security against the county s budget
this year, in addition to all the property the county has
taken title to and may sell.
It is desirable to keep the county's budget balanced as
as nossible

property and delinquent tax funds a t the same time over and
above the budget is an unjust burden on the willing tax-
navers a t this tim e who a r e ' struggling to raise their own
taxes and are not able to assum e the load of those Who are
delinquent.
The-new county court was elected on a tax reduction
platform and as such are entitled to all our support. But
when Mr. Average taxpayer gets his tax statem ent and finds
it just as high, or only a few cents lower than last year, w hat
is he to think?
Let’s take out the $116,000 delinquency item before it
is too late.

I be obliged to force down stuff th a t I despise? Eating is
part of my rew ard for being a good, industrious boy. T hat
also applies to you, dear reader. If you are a girl, simply
change genders in this letter and go ahead. Boys are not
so different from girls, when it comes to living and eating.
Those two good old ru le s- ^ a t because you are hungry,
and eat w hat tastes good. It will take a lot of theory to
scare up better ones.
But . . . people get to figuring on “balanced ration,”
and “calories,” and they fuss around about them, with an
air of superior learning. First thing you know, you are off
on the trail of "vitam ines,” and then you don’t lack much
of being in over your head! You get afraid to eat white
bread -really the most nutritious, best tasting bread in the
world. Are you scared of white bread? One of my con
tem poraries refers to certain bread alarm s as “the vitamin
fad." T h a t’s not far from right.
I’ve written thousands of words on diet and eating —
yes, millions. After all, Iebeileve I feel better by practicing
plain horse sense, th at tells me not to eat too much -h u t
what I like.
