The amount ( X ot taxes you will pay will be even greater than the table shows because it j will be based on higher assessments than in 1933 especially on personal " properly, such as live stock, automobiles, etc. A 1 have selected 1933 because it was the year before the gross in- 4 2 conic tax helped spread the load and the year in which great numbers of fl farms and homes were sold for delinquent taxes to demonstrate force- fl fully that the condition is dangerous. Now we have the 1933 rates plus Q the gross income tax. I 2 Reasons for it are laws compelling the local governments to raise ] Z costs. As an example the “skip” election law which will postpone city ] and town elections until next year will require a complete new election, • nearly doubling the expense. My reform for this is simple. To require I f the state to pay for every cent of additional cost it forces upon a local j 2 government. If it can’t pay it, the state has no right to require a local fl J government to raise its costs without right of appeal. 2 8 Years given in the table below represent the years in which taxes I are payable. To find your own tax, multiply the rate times each SIOO of 4 2 assessed real and personal property less exemptions. 1933 1915 1946 1947 E Creek 1.88 1.68 1.84 1 75 >Yench 1.37 1.34 1.55 1.67 W Hartford 1.88 1.88 1.90 2.10 1 Jefferson 1.88 1.56 1.65 2.41 4 Kirkland 1.33 1.37 1.50 2.09 fl Mon r°e 1.34 1.73 1.81 2.49 ■ treble . 1.26 1.10 1.33 1.48 A K °ot 1.45 1.39 1.48 1.63 fl St. Marys —— 1.44 1.87 1.94 2.30 Union 1.35 1.43 1.57 1.99 • Wabash 1.48 1.75 2.13 1.88 1 ■ Washington 1.40 1.17 1.32 1.52 < S Berne 1.50 2.85 2.90 3.85 fl ; Decatur-Root 1.87 2.29 2.47 3.19 Decatur-Wash. 1.95 2.25 2.43 3.14 Geneva 1.93 2.25 3.47 3.23 I 2 Monroe-Mon. 1.57 2.01 2.11 2.89 fl Monroe-Wash. 1.57 1.45 1.62 1.92 Will you join me in my fight to lower property tax rates before ’ H it is too late? fl I 4 S’ Very truly youra, 7' X J fco&ent j Democratic candidate tor re-election as State Joint Representative | 2 From Adams & Wells Counties. | ■ ’ *- - Pol.
