It has been a little wet here for harv
est. but we think that the statement

the effect that lots of the grain will rot

binders, is far fetched. Every binder
in the country is already hard at w ork,
and it will be but a few daj 8 until all
of the winter wheat and rye will be in

The purpose in tin* collection of tax is
to raise in one v with which to carry on the
•.’•overnnient. It is the duty of the State
officers to certify out to the various coun
tit’.-? a rate of levy that should raise suffic
ient revenue with which to carry on the
business of the State.
This duty lias been attended to by the
various administrations, but there has
been a material default in the payment of
taxes. The result is that at the close of
busiuet* on May 27, 1902, there was an out
standing indebtedness of the State,
amounting to $ 1,910,909.08, and there was
a balance of uncollected taxes due from
the various counties, to the State, amount
ing to 12,783,063.04.
It can be seen that if these deiinqVeut
taxes had beeu paid, there would have
been a surplus in the treasury of the State
ami no outstanding obligations whatever.
While the collections made from Dec.
1st, 1900 to May 26th, 1902 would indicate
that a portion of these delinquent taxes
were being paid, it can hardly be expected
that enough of these arrearages can be
collected to wipe out the complete indebt
edness of the State.
We shall try in future articles to show
where this great delinquency in payment'
of taxes originates. The first duty of good
citizenship is to pay the tax that is neces
sary to meet State, County and City ex
penses. In the long list of delinquent tax
payers, no railroad will be found delin
quent in payment of any legal taxes, al
though the payment of taxes in several
instances has practically absorbed all of
the net earnings of the company for a terra
of years.
OTE — From 1893 to 1900, the Fremont, Elkhorti 6c Missouri Valiev
Railroad oaid 16 8-10 per cent of it’s net earnines for taxes. 1
