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

:>p, instead of beginning at the top
nd going to the bottom, as at present,
lere is liable to be some better imrovenient
