Breuklanders. of , r. 20-tf - p d CfV We hear that the collectors sent out V by tlie republican officials have been of blaiming the county commissioners for the iuconvienence they are causing tax tli payers. The fees go to these collectors tt a and if they charge each man who owes dtPi Pi a tax full fees , mileage from Valentine tli do you think it is because the commisf- ioner.s said for them to do so ? Is it fair to have republicans wait upon the commissioners and ask them if they want rhe taxes collected when it is the dutv of the treasurer to collect the tax es ? Is" it not done to shift the respon InNt sibility to the commissioners' should it ers ? We think tne matter is plain enough to all who paid these extra > n costs and those who got the extra costs. n. The county got nothing out of it but ill the tax. We are in favor of collecting tio Frd the- taxesvith the least possible ex ho pense to our tax payers. God knows there's enough topay without the ad ditionai charges of collectors who near ly always charged each man full mile age from Valentine though he found a man every i or o miles.
