Show KICKING OUR COLLECTOR. Tito Tax-payer Cannot "Pony" op Trlihont a Parting Growl. Collector Mathias has a hard row to hoe and deserves a deal of pity. Scarcely a single tax-payer forks over his hard-eai'ned spondulix this year without sorrowful moan or fierce kick at the astounding raise in taxes. The poor Collector is expected to smile sweetly at all these complaints hurled indirectly indirect-ly at his innocent head gulp down his righteous ire and remain as meek and calm as a clam. Considering the fact that our local officers had 110 more to do with I raising the taxes than the man in the moon, isn't it strange and indeed in-deed unfair the way some people heap all the blame upon their shoulders? This is not right. |
