J. 8. CLENAHAN : Cor. Colborne and Barrie Sts. (Copyright.) Taxes are always heavy--to the man who has to pay them---but taxes in some communities are much higher than in others, If you have ever stopped to investigate the matter you have discovered that the lowest taxes are found in the most prosperous communities. And there's a Span, The prosperous community has the lowest taxes because there is a\large amount of wealth in the community against which the taxes are levied. Property values are high and there are thriving industries which pay a large proportion of the taxes. ., 2 The higher the property values and the greater the wealth of the com- munity the lower are the tax levies, for a lower tax on each hundred dol- lars of valuation is required to produce the necessary reventie for the ad- ministration of the city and county governments : On the other hand, take a dead town. Property values are low. Mer- chants' stocks are small and they have little money in the bank. Indus- tries which ordinarily pay a large part of the taxes of a community have v closed down. There are vacant store buildings which were formerly filled with stocks of merchandise upon which the owners paid heavy taxes, Who GET IN TOUCH FOR YOUR ROCERIES and Provisions.

Sus, " re - OUR CASH AND CARRY SYSTEM pays the taxes that were once paid by the merchants, the manufacturers, the bankers and the men who had large holdings of high-priced property! The taxes to conduct the city and tounty governinents, to maintain the schools, to build and repair the roads must be collected from someone. Who pay@them? The man who owns his littie home or the vacant lot or two upon which he has been planning to build his home must pay double or triple the amount which he paid in the times when the town was prosper- ous, to make up for the taxes, which are not paid now by the merchants, the bankers, the manufacturers and the big property owners who bore the heafiest burdens of taxation when times were good. The farmers in the country surrounding the town are also among the heaviest sufferers from the ebbing of the town's prosperity. A certain amount of money must be raised by taxation to provide for the expenses of the county, Bods must be built and kept in repair. Bridges must be built and mainghined, Salaries of county officers must be paid. County Institutions for the care of the sick and the poor must be maintained. In counties which contain one or more thriving towns, a large proportion of the taxes for the county are paid by the towns. The greater the wealth of the towns and the higher the property valuations, the lower the tax levy for the entire county, When the tax levy is low the burden placed upon Ne farmer is light. A When the county contains no Prosperous and wealthy towns, the greater part of the burden of taxation for the county falls upon the farmer. The value of the farmer's property does not fall in proportion to the value, of the property in the town and the higher tax levy that results from the lower property values in the towns makes his taxes higher. The farmer forgets at times'that he is vitally interested in the pros- perity of "his town." He thinks that it is up to fhe town to take care of it- Self and that it is up to him to take care of himself and he overlooks that fact that the prosperity of the town means as much to him as it does to those who live in it. The farmer who is inclined to Qverlook this fact has only to think of the matter of taxes and he is likely to change his point of view for taxes are one thing that neither he nor anyone else can escape, and they are one thing in which the farmer ordinarily takes a very lively interest. ! : There is just one way in which the farmer can best promote prosperity in the town near which he lives and that is by spending his money in that town instead of sending it away ta. the far-distant city. Every time the farmer sends an order to a mail order house he 'helps to destroy the pros- perity of his own community and to boost his own taxes.' When he sends a dollar away from home he gets none of it back. When he spends a dollar at home, & part of that dollar comes back to him in some way. It helps the town where it js t to provide a profitable market for his products and it helps the town pdy a large part of his taxes. | « The farmer is the one man in the community, above all others, who should have no love for the mall order houles for they are doing more to add to his troubles than any other one agency.' : casio in i ---------- a /[ PAGE THIRTEEN Out of FOR ALL KINDS OF MEATS Bee us.
