C J *| Bf:/-55,bc i'tiMflMUUBf Why Taxes Arc Higher, j I read with much interest the 'article, Why Taxes Are Higher," so ve*reilly prepared by Treasurer J. H. Bares, and published in a late cop>^r?f ic Union Times. \ The article is properly in dcpa?lents. I will pass those with referetre > education assessments without colient. It seems that the question bf :>od roads or bad roads, as a comniln nail affair, is one of much import^it >nsideration, especially since it lis >sting so much and affording vary :tle benefit to the people. It is v<ry ain to any reasonable observation lat the costly machinery lately boujjht not the very least bit suitable to tmrove the roads of Union county, hich are most all hilU and gullies, he machinery seems suitable to roads ily that are level. Last winter the >ads in this section were in a most ii?erable condition, with deep mud enerally caused by the water not beig properly ditched off of the roads n each side. They remained in a veryad condition all winter, much hauling eing done over them. Late in 'he firing or summer ? small crowd oi ands leveled the deep mud holes and iked out the ditches on each side; hich, with some additional labor of le same kind, would have kept the yads in passable condition for sonic me, had not that costly, showy sixlule road machinery passed over the nads a little and leve'ed down the anks of the ditches which had been lade to turn the water off of the road, his was all the work that was done n the roads in this section during ist year. Even if the costly road mahincry had been very suitable, helpil and needful, there should have been floating surplus of tax money instead f a indebtedness before it ,as ever bought. There are maty ittle bridges over ditches in the r<?nd hat are generally in a dangerous (oniition to the passing public and the/ annot be repaired by road machinery. It the term of court in Union courjty :osts the tax payers six thousand dplars a year, it should be held in vt ry ligh esteem by them as a place to g; in 11 struction and useful information w th efercnce to the 'common laws of iie government. # J The treasurer seems well postea in ;hc various questions presented with reference to taxes. It seems surprising that he has left out the most important part oq the business, that with reference to the salaries of officers, both county 2nd 1Ytrrt?y.' He has tailed'to mention the law makers and their pay. They who tssemble at the State capitol each rear to spend a few hours a day in ong speeches, trying to change the aws to suit themselves, take vacaiotis of rest, pleasure, &c., are not hese paid with tax money? The quesion of "Why Taxes Are Higher" is me of no new subject. History shows hat it has been ?a cause for discontent or hundreds of years past. Partyism seems the chief cause ?>f' mjust taxation. If all officials were lected on their proper competency I ind merit, with no reference to party, here would be better laws, better gov-, rmnent and less taxes. Formerly! ligh taxes was termed carpet-bag robtery; now it is termed needful approbation. \\ hen each citizen becomes properly iterested and informed with reiernee to law and government, and the umiiuiun oi me laws ot government egin at the bottom and go to the :>p, instead of beginning at the top nd going to the bottom, as at present, lere is liable to be some better imrovenient in government. Candidates >r office should be required to show ley can benefit the people by being ected and then state what they are illing to take for their service. Vot s should be more careful of their >tes, and vote for the most honest 1 mpetent man who is willing or can lord to lake the office for the least; ' I y: 't 1 he treasurer describes how road | ork is done and charged for, but he ' ils to describe how office-holders d<. 1 air work and charge for it. He states ! lat he has the work oi tj^o men to ( "> and the responsibility of a dozen lurs in the collecting and disbursing taxes. It is but datural to suppose wants pay according to his work and sporisimnty. l he treasurer's office ems the most trying and responsie office to till and very few are able id competent to till the place satis- . ctorily. Why taxes are higher nat ally interests all who pay taxes, es- j cially those who know that they are , ljtistly imposed on. The subject de amis the honest, serious attention of I, especially those in authority who e the tax money. E. A. Garner. (, 11 1 A Wonderful Happening. (( Port Ryron, N.
