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. —The Toledo (Ohio) Times. Why not relieve that eye Strain?
