Under the law, county, city and dis-
trlc% govcrnments must prepare annual
budget esthnatcs of' expenditures for
the next ensuing year. These cstlmates
for next year are now being prepared
and the budgets will be printed in the
official pap(r of your county during the
month of September. Final public har-
ings will bc hcld the ilrst Monday In

may appear and voice his protcst or

Duty of the Tazpayer.
It i's the duty of every taxpayer to
:study the tax question and the budget
,estimates. If you find contemplated ex-

1919 .................. :, $60,142,841.03
1920 , ................... $72,665,820.11
Study these figures and you will find
an increase in the tax bill of more than
four million dollars between |he years
1917 and 1918; an Increase of more
than twelve roll]ion dollars between
1918 and 1919: and another increase of
more than twelve and a half million
dollars between ]919 and I!}20, or an In-
crease of 829,440,535.87 in thc last
three years, from 1917 to 1920.
All of these figures represent the ex-
penditures of publle funds, hence It
will be seen that taxes can only be
reduced by reducing expendi-
tures. Any redistribution, without
reducing expenditures, will not lessen
necessary, appear before your board of the tax burden. Neither does the rem-
county commissioners, your school . edy lie in producing new sources of

County this year .show an increase of
33,616.39 over the levy of 1917, of
which amount, $18,t96.25 was for stt|e
general fund purposes. The total slate
tax levied against property in Mason
County in 1917 was $50,228,97, and in
1920, $83,845.36.
Tie taxpayers have been told that
state taxes do not amount to very
much when the entire tax burddn is
taken into consideration, but the ,fact
that similar increases, tn proportion to
the amount of {axes collected. 'apiSear
in every county throughout the state
should be considered in any analyss of
the tax problem.
Between the years 1917 and 1920 the
total amount of" taxes levled by Mason
County for all purposes--state, county,
city, schools and roadsincreased $76.-
554.89, The total levy for 1917 was
$232,241.98, and in 1920 the levy was
8308,796.87. The increase for coum
roads during this period was
and for county schools, $25.654.24.
If the taxpayer will compare private
business conditions of 1917 with busi-
ness conditions now it will be readily
seen that there is little Justifleation for
any increase in taxes.

If the taxpayers of Mason County
were organied they would soon be able
to control the tax situation in Mason
County and would also be a factor In
forng reductions in the cost of oper-
ating state government
The remedy for high taxes lies en-
tirely in the hands of the taxpayeis,
By their voting strength they can force
action on the part of their public offi-
cials and no other course will serve to
solve the problem.
Attached will be found a table of
comparative statistics, taken from the
official records of the state tax com-
missioner at Olympia, giving the de-
tails of taxes levied for all purposes in
MasOn County. during ths period of 1914
to 1920, inclusive. These figures tell
the tax 'story from every angle, but
they do not show what the levy will be
for next year's expenditures. These
levies are now being made up in the
