C A few persons who are unfamiliar . with the way taxes are levied or who jump at> conclusions wrongfully : are making rash statements to indicate their belief 'that Governor 'Smail "has . had much to do with: the increase of: theit t?:(i year, by year. --Accord-- ingly below we 'show the taxes on . different items for the past four years,.

Therein are shown the sums you have paid for 'state taxes during those years and you'll observe a detrease this year over the pre-- ceding years, showing that" your'> state tax 18 LESS instead -- of more and that the raises 'have comefrom other sources, principally achool taxes, ¢ity and 'high" school, ~due to new buildings, etc. Below are the figures as oltained 'fFrom the assessor and the county clerk's records for the past four years, the 1927 tax being what you pay this year in Waukegan: ' 7 Explanatory of the figures above, recall this: The taxes for 1927 are based on the sums mentioned as fixed on each. $100 FULL v&aztgn whereas in 1924, 25, 26, they were based on ONE--HALF ¥alue. + And so, you see, of the total tax which you will pay this year on each 'hundred dollars' .vfl;uoc. but 80 cents of the $6.25 goes to the state, or, ONE--THIR of the total tax you pay.© Now mind you, that's all of your tax that goes to the state, just one--thirtieth of all you pay. f * . Thus, you see, the taxes are high, not because of the cost of manine the state government but because of other costs, such as . _ Thus, you see, the taxes are high, not because of the cost of running the state government but because of other costs, such as the high school (which represents ONE--FOURTH of your total tax) and the city tax (which represents a sizth of your total). > -- Phe state tax on each hundred dollats' valuation this year thus is 3%% cents LESS per hundred dollars than last year; the county tar is unchanged, the county bond is unchanged; the road--bridge is unchanged; the high school is 9 cents higher; the sanitary district tax is 2 cents higher; the city of Waukegan tax is 19% cents higher; Waukegan bond is 2% cents higher; Waukegan city school is 3 cents hbhigher; Waukegan Park is 5% cents higher. THUS, THE STATE TAX ISs THE ONLY ONE THAT I8S LOWER THIS YEAR THAN IN THE THREE PREYVIOUS YEARS. Aecordingly, 'those --who misunderstand the tax situation and who would charge the governor with being in any way to blame for their increase in taxes should now be fair--and see their mistake.
