'CAN ' COUNTY TAXES BE ANY HIGHER 11
I I
I

I , .
A CusterlCounty Gentle an , Well Posted in Tax
Matters , Says1TheY" " . an , Tells How and
Gives a Number of illustrations.
,
SOMETHING EVERY TAX PAYER SHOULD KNOW
You arc told that taxes are as
high as they cau be th t the
taxes are at the limit.
You notice that there is a
difference between taxes being to
the limit aud the levy beiu ' to
the limit. 15 mills is the hmit
uuder the statutes for county
purposes. but does not include
any tax for bonded indebtedness.
You can. have a 15 mills levy for
county purposes and a bond levy
additional.
In giving the examples below I
to show you how county taxes ;
can be increased I have taken the
"listed value" from the tax books'
- I
for Jear 1907. and the "amounts
bought for" I took from the deed
as now appears of rec rd.
In giving the amounts "listed.
Cor" . this is supposed to be the
one-fifth value of the land as
appraised in 1904. It does not
sb'ow that anyone was trying to
evade his value to lessen his taxes
but thought to be a one-fifth ,
actual value. ,
By tal < cg , the present cash
price as shown' ' by the deed you
can readily ell that land is much
higher now than in 1904 and your
next assessed value is to be one-
fifth of its actual value.
In this statement I have considered -
sidered county tax 'only ; I have
not considered the state school ,
school bond , or township levies ,
just the county levy only.
In March 1907 , Olis M. Newman -
man bought the seU of 32-14-21
for $7700.00 as shown by the deed.
Now the one-fitth of the purchase
value is $1540.00. 1'hlSland - is
now listed for $745.00 which is
. supposed to be one fifth value
.as s.how'n by , the .1907 fax list
which at 10 mills ( the present
county levy ) would be $7.45
county tax for Mr. Newman to
pay. This same land can be
listed at $1540.00 ( one-fifth of
purchase price ) whicb at 15 mill s
would be $23.10. So Mr. New-
mans county tax can be increased
from $7.45 to : il23.10 and not go
beyond the limit.
On Sept. 23. 1907 , R. J. Kelly
and Jos' ' Fennimore bought the
w of sec 3-17-24 for $6596.00 as
shown by the contract. One-fifth
of the purchase price is $1919.00.
' 1"his " land is listed for the year
1Y07 , for $430.00 ( which is supposed -
posed to be th one-fifth value )
as shown by the tax list , which
at 1 < 1 mills ( the present county
levy ) would be $14.30 county tax
for Kelly and Fennimore to pay.
Tbis same land can be listed for
$1919.00 ( one-fifth of purchase
price ) which at 15 mills' would
be $28.79. So Kelly and Fenni-
mora county tax can be increased
from $4.30 to $28.79 and not po
beyond the limit.
In Feb. , 1907 Herman J. Martin
bought nwU 25-17-32 for $4400.00
one-fifth of which is $88'0'.00.
This land is listed in 1907 for
$247.00 and the county tax at
10 mills is $2.47. This land can
be Jisted for $880.00 which at 15
mills would be $13.20. So Martin's
county tax can be increased from
$2.47 to $13.20 and not exceed
the limit.
In March 1906 R. E. Brega
bought the w ne ! and nw ! and e
of sec. 7158 for GOOU.OO ( 'is
shown by the deed now on record )
and oue.fifth would be , $1200.0U.
' 1'hls land is now Hstod for the year
1907 for + 432.00 supposed to be the
one fifth value when a8sessed , now
M32.00 at 10 mills would be $11.82
the present county tax. This same
l.nd can e listed for $120000
which at 16 mills would make $18.00
county tax. Mr. Brega's county tax
can he increased from $4,32 to
$18.00 and not exceed the limit.
In Jan. 1907 David 'r. Adc4ms
purchased the se ! sec. ,29.20-18 for
$6360.00 one fifth of which is
1272.00. This land is now listed
. for $576.00 whch ; at 10 mills is
$5.76 the present county tax. I his
same land can be liB'led for $1272,00
! and at 15 mills would bo $19.08.
You Bee Mr. Adams' county tax can
I bo increaBed from $5.7 to U9.08
and not go beyond the limit

one fifth of which ia $1600.00 f\lul
at 15 mills would ho $24.00. 'fhiH
SBmo land is lieted for * 600.00 ono.

Now $000.00 at 10 mlls : th6 present
ent county levy iB $6.00 the present
county tax. You will BOO that M\
\\'oodworth's county tax ean be in-
creB8 d from $6.00 to t24..00 and
not go beyond Lho limit
In Apdl AO' { ) ; William H. Hughes

and ne nw ! 80C. 35-13.17 lor
3875OU one.fiClh if ! $775.00 at 15
mills would be $11.68. lIt is 1istmt
at .280.00 whioh at 10 mill" is $2.80
county ax. 1\1r. Hughoo' county
I ta.x can o increl1stc1 from $ ' ] .80 to
$11.63 and 1I0t exceed the hmit.
I You can readily aoo that all landa
have lDcrcased greatly in this coun.
I t ) ' , and at the next assosslUont will
bc ssosBod on the above basiB , nnd
you will also observe that with an
increase in value end tbe levy rnisod
frolr 10 mills to 15 mills y ur county -
ty tex can be increased from 3 to 4 :
times higher than they aru now.
An I am Bure that in CUS9 ot division -
ion thllt the enormous expense of
tro.ulIcribing tbe recoed , building
proper county build3nga will rc.
quire the limit in vnluo and the
limit in levy for many yeara and
then Some more.
