ON TAXATION "Editor: "Why did we move to Arkansas? The unfair taxation in McHenry county was a great factor in prompting us to move. Out of a 40-acre piece of land we have 1 acre. There is no elec­ tric, no water, no telephone, besides being landlocked (no road). Consequently, without a road you cannot build a house unless it is put in by helicopter. "Our taxes are $86.70. The acre adjoining our^is in the same condition and the taxes on that acre are $57. Can anyone justify such a discrepancy in tax evaluation? Perhaps this is why so many people are moving out of Illinois, especially McHenry county. I pity the poor people moving into McHenry county unaware of the unfair tax situation.
