The Stark County Democrat

REDUCTION OF STATE TAXES FOR 1875, BY COUNTIES.

Total Reduction in Two Years $1,100,000 00!

From the Wayne County Democrat.

Below we give the amount of State Taxes collected in each county in 1873 under the levy authorized by the 60th General Assembly, and the amount that would be collected on the duplicate of 1874 under the levy authorized at the adjourned session of the 61st General Assembly, which is the Democratic General Assembly that closed its session on the 30th of March, and give the reduction for 1875 as compared with 1873. It will be remembered that the late General Assembly at its regular session, against the protest of the present Auditor of State, reduced the levy for State purposes from three mills and five-tenths of a mill to three mills and two-tenths of a mill. Had the old levy authorized by the preceding General Assembly, which was Republican, been maintained, and which the Auditor of State insisted should be maintained, there would have been collected from the people for State purpose $474,000 more than was collected. Contrary to the General expectation, the State levy was decreased one-tenth of a mill more at the late adjourned session of the 61st General Assembly, which makes a further reduction of $158,000 on last year's duplicate. The old levy authorized by the Republican General Assembly would, on last year's duplicate, produce $632,000 more than will be produced under the present levy. As the reduction of taxes on the tax duplicate of 1874 amounted to $474,000, and as the reduction authorized in 1875, to effect in the December collection, would amount to $632,000, so the total reduction authorized by the Democratic General Assembly in 1874 and in 1875 amounts to the grand sum of ELEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS! We shall hereafter give a table of the reduction by counties for 1874 and 1875, and thus show how much the reduction for the two years is for each county. If Governor Allen and the Democratic State Ticket and Democratic General Assembly shall be elected at the October election, a further reduction of one hundred and fifty-eight thousand dollars can be made by the next General Assembly!
