Gibson On Mellor’s Mandamus
Ed Northwestern: After read
ing the editorial and statement regard
ing the Mellor Mandamus case in your
columns last week. I just wondered if
you would not like to finish the story
and give the public the whole truth
instead of stopping at the place that is
calculated to cause a small revolution
on account of your telling half the
story. Mr. Mellor's figures as you give
them I guess are correct, but will you
please tell the public, first: The state
and county consolidated tax are all the
same in the county, 27 mills. Second:
That each Township and School Dist.
board makes its own levy and here you
have it in the districts you quote from.
< r part of them.
Loup City Twp. levy: General fund,
2 mills; Road fund, lOmills; Irrigation
fund, 10 mills; total, 22 mills. School
District No. 1: General fund, 25 mills;
Bond interest, 3 mills; total. 28 mills.
Grand total, 50 mills.
Ashton Twp., comprising Lnds you
quoted: General fund, 2 mills; Road
fund, 2 mills; total, 4 mills. School
District No. 16; none. Total. Town
ship and School leyy, 4 mills.
Difference in levy, 46 mills.
Will you please inform your readers
that you have investigated and found
this to be a fact and that if Mr. Conk
lin pays $15 on a quarter section in
Section 27. at Ashton, on a valuation of
8500, that the man who owns a farm in
Loup City township and School Dis
trict No. 1 would pay a tax of 838 50
on the same valuation. School District
No. 16 of Ashton township levies no
tax and it comprises a large number of
sections 15. The Supreme Court's deci
sion was a righteous one, and I hope
the time will speedily come when the
people of Sherman county can have the
facts laid plainly before them in their
entirety and that subterfuge »nd half
statements will not be resorted to for
the purpose of prejudicing the people’s
minds De-tr Editor, please tell t’.e
public why you allow your columns lo
be used to befog them, when the whole
facts are so easily obtained. Yours, etc..
Geo. H. Gibson.
Ignoring the coveted insult to the ed
itor conveyed in the above in more than
one sentence, (for the present at least)
we will simply take up the Conklin al
lusion in a few words. The valuation
of the Conklin quarter, se of 27, is 8439
while the valuation of Lawrence
Smith's rough quarter, a mite-past of
Loup City is 8399 and the valuation of
A. M. Robbins' 80, two miles northwest
of this city is $300. The Conklin quar
ter is said to be worth 88,000 on the
market and is as good lying land
as the Robbins 80, therefore
if equalization is sought why is the
Conklin 100 not valued at 8720 instead
of only 8439 ? It lies right up against
town, while the Robbins eighty lies two
mies awav. Is the Smith quarter only
worth 8200 less than the Conklin quar
ter? It is valued at only 940 less.
