All pionoer. who came west over "The Ilig Trail? are 'in .Tho coUnty tax h'vy for j will be practically theHame as lunt j year, perhaps a fractional mill lcris, nccorrting to 'figures set forth j in the tentative budget, which is ! .schedule for a public hearing Thursday, December 11. Last year the county tax was 11,6 mills, and th state tax was 5.4 mills, making a total of 10.4 mills for state and county levy. Owing to tho titanic muddle in slate finances, it is figured that the state tax wilt be raised about two mills. This would mako the state and county mllluge between 18 and .19 hillls, and bring the Medford millage to about tiO mills. . Increase In the valuation of the county, according to members of tho county court, has "taken up the slack," and the county levy Is well within the hIx per cent limi tation law. Thc budget committee In its de liberations, took cognlzanco of the tl own ward 'prices of foodstuffs and clipped 11000 off the cost of feed ing county jail prisoners. Indigents Benefit ' Allowances from the county in digent fund were clipped lust July 10 percent,, The purported 20 per c'o'nt decline iy the cost of food stuffs, how effective, reverts to the benefit of the unfortunates. This policy enables the county to keep within the Indigent fund, a It ho the appeals have increased. Most of those on the long list are residents of Jackson county, and the transient aid Is the lowest in many months. Pay vouchers for county work er's were, signed today by the coun ty court, and steps taken to pay all bills between now and January 1, so as to stfart -H.hejXew Year with a clean sheet. t i LMM.,IIM , , PROSPECT TROSrlXiT.
