State and County
Will Receive 34,000
The property returned for taxes
in Ranks county in 1913 amounted
to 91,278,902.
In 1914 the returns amounted to
91,378,692.
The raise made by the assessor-:
amounted to ♦300,000, making a
total of approximately 91,678,692.
The state and county taxes last
year amounted to 925,573 and the
state share was 96,363. If the
same amount is levied this year
that was levied last the state and
county will receive about 934,000.
The county’s share of tax money
will amount to very near as much
as the state and county both re
ceived last year.
These figures are not correct,
and ns the work is not complete
there is no way fa arrive at the
exact amounts, but from the best
information we can get these
figures will not be far from right.

THE PARCEL POST
AND THE RAILROADS.
A great many poo pie will be
licvo that ('ougress Inn committed
an unpardonable oversight by en
acting the bill providing for the
expenditures of the Postoftice De
partment for the next fiscal year"
without including in it a pro
vision to compensate the railroads
for carrying the dareel post.
The bill is Ijascd upon estimates
of the Department that next year
the parcel post will handle
000,000,000 packages, from which
it derives a revenue of $150,000,000.
In his annual report the Post
master General suggested that the
railroads would be entitled to ad
ditional compensation on this ac
count, and the Department is said
to be now gathering information
relating to the correct basis for fu
ture lair compensation to the rail
roads on account of the new de
parturc in our mail service. Hut
Congress, either through neglect or
because of the cowardly reluctance
of modern statesmen to do any
thing to protect corporations from
injustice, neglected to make any
provision for the service of the
roads in assuming their new bur
dens.
In Great Britain the railways re
ceive 55 per cent of the levenues
from the parcel post. Boforethe
establishment of the system in this
country the railroads received for
transporting mails at least one
fifth of the postoffice revenue. As
suming tl at their service is no
greater in handling the parcel post
than with other mail, this increased
revenue of $110,000,000 to the I’ost
office Department should in all
fairness mean increased payments
to the railroads of at least $12,000,
ouo.
The parcel post ruined or crip
pled the express companies with
out any compensation, at a time
when they are under the strictest
g< Vermont surveillance and under
going a critical period in the his
ton of their development. If this
is justice, there can he no such
word as hardship in the KngLish
language. The time has come for
the American people to call upon
heir representatives to cease an
attitude toward corporations in
dicating that they are to be liar
assed simply because they are cor
porations. It is time to cease
wringing unnecessary taxation
from them and treating them as
necessary evils, if not public en
emies.
The parcel post should be de
veloped to the utmost, hut it
should be done with justice to all.
