The following letter has been sent
out by Tax Commissioner Galloway to
all county clerks:
"We write to correct what appears
to be a misunderstanding as to the
bearing of tlu Tax Limitation amend
ment on apportionments of State taxes, j
'The state stands in a relation to j
tbe counties similar to that of a conn-;
ty, to the vaiious taxpayers therein, i
While the six per cent increase limita-l
tion applies to the state tax levy as a j
whole (and has been observed in both j
the 1317 and 1918 levies), it does not
apply on the particular amounts
charged against the several counties, j
"To assume that the state tatft levied j
on any given county cannot exceed the
amount, of the last preceding year by
more than six per cent would mean that I
equalizations between counties could j
no longer be made and that readjust I .
ments, based on increases or decrrnsos I T,unl total represent the. maximum
in actual values and on additions 0f j wnount which may be levied for all tho
new properties to tax rolls or elimin-! various county ipurposes under the tas.
ntions of properties no longer subject "-" """""'
to taxation, could not even be attempted-
Such an assumption would be
similar to saying that no taxpayers in
a county could be required to pay a
tax bill more than s'ix per cent larger
than the one presented to him in the.
last preceding year, regardless of any
change in valuation, quantity or
amount of real or personal property
held by him. We cannot believe that
the tax limitation amendment lias any
sneh unreasonable and inequitable in
tention or meaning.
"Tbe amount of the state tax ap
portioned to a county does not affect
the amount which that county is per
mitted to raise for other purposes. Wo
suggest that the proper method for ar
riving at the total amount to which
tax levies for various county purposes
are restricted is substantially as fol
lows: "Subtract from last year's total the
amount required for payment- of the
state tax, also the amount (if any) re
quired for payment of principal and
interest of bonded indebtedness; to the
remainder add six per cent thereof,
then add the state tax for the ensuing
vear, and also whatever amount may
be required during the year for pay
ments on banded indebtedness; the

If'cr and should it happen that lie was
able to put over the crushing finish

heavyweight champion of the world

would bo foolish to listen to such a

il'he Hed Cross would benefit very lit

could not be bilked into attending a

Jess might do better if ho offered
to take on half a dozen challengers,
three rounds each, for there would bo
little danger to his jaw in such encoun
