SATURDAY, Mf NOVEMBER 201897 ABOUT-TAXE- S. . The question of taxes is always a prominent one at this sea &bi Of the year.and during the course of a visit to the office of Treasurer Farr the other day, the writer learned some things which may prove of interest to taxpayers generally. In round numbers there are 4,500 taxpayers In the the county and more than 2,700 of them have already paid their taxes. Money is coming in at the rate of from three to ten thousand dollars a day. All unpaid taxes become delink quent upon and are eubject to in: tereBt from the fifteenth day of .November. On the first Monday JOURNAL, LOGAN TRI-WDBIC- from five to twelve dollars each. The cost of educating each child in the District schools of the county is from twelve to fourteen dollars per annum. Almost every family has from two to three children at tending school, and at $12 each, the bare cost of their education will far .exceed in a great majority of instances, the taxes paid by their parents. The man who has one child attending school and pays $12 in taxes, pays only for his childs education. If he has two, he receives from the public treasury twice as much as he pays into it; and the more children, the greater the disproportion;' The Oregon Short Line this year paid into the treasury of Cache county $7,700, a large proportion of which goes to the county school fund This sum alone, equals the average tax paid by 320 private citilens. Corporations all over the State are taxed for the support of schools. The average taxpayer receives more from the public treasury than he returns to if, and should Btop long enough to take a couple of thinks before complaining too loudly of being overburdened by reason of official profligacy. in December the delinquent tax list will be published as required by law.

There can be no subsequent publication, so it will be seen that unless the Treasurer is prepared to pay his friends taxes out of his own pocket, justice to hia bondsmen will not permit him to allow any delinquents to go unpublished. Many are the complaints this year on account of excessive taxation, from many of the county precincts, and in some instances the State and County officials are blamed for the increase of taxes as compared peoples with last year. There is some cause for this at apparent first sight, as while last year the total tax was but $87,000, this year it is $107,000. This increase, ' however, is not due to the County Commissioners, the State officials or the Legislature; but to the school trustees in the districts from which the complaints come. The State and county, ta combined Js just the same as last year; but in many districts trustees have taken advantage of the law permitting them to levy a tax of five mills, whereas under the old law they could not exceed two and mills. Another reason is that in seven precincts the people have voted a special ichool tax. upon themselves. about Speaking of kicking viewed from one standpoint taxes, and that a very reasonable one, but yery few people have reason to complain. There are 4,500 tax payers, and the amount collected will be $lO7,O0O; or about $24 each. As a matteT of fact not more than one-thir- d of the taxpayers pay as much as this; the majority range . a-h- gaged foment, strengthen, and intensify it. It would be difficult, perhaps, to name a town whose best and highest interests have suffered more at the hands of its local press than have those of Logan. As usual, when the News is en in discussing its favorite theme, its mental vision becomes distorted so that it can see but one side of a question, and that but from an oblique point of view. If the News can point to the establishment of a single enterprise nipped in the bud iD tense we by partisanism, will admits that it has some ground for its statement If it can prove that the spirit of political partisanism which has for years hung like a pall over the fair town of Logan, has been so r vading as to prevent the associa tion together of business men without regard to politics, in any business enterprise promising adequate return' upon the investment, its all-pe- UTAH, NqVE&IBEB 20 as Tbs Journal Js concerned,,Jt mast fall to tfie ground. if ;Tiie Journal is intensely ditills r'Tt' accepted' the AT vision upon party lines as being a the right direction.
