CUTTING FEDERAL FAYROLLS
Every wage earner of whatever grade, whose salary has not been cut
;lasa receded a boost through the lowering of the cost cf living, ranging
groin ten to twenty percent. There is no question about this for those
'Who are familiar with the trend of things within the pa~t two years This
is all true of pttblic servants, especially those in the federal service, in
imttny ,branches of which the pay has actually been raised within the past
two years in spite of the lowering of all kinds of living costs. We can-
not, therefore, be in sympathy with President Hoover in his s~and against
reducing the ~pay of general government em01oyes. The Mandan Pioneer
very aptly presents good reasons for such a reduction and we reproduce it
~ts expressing our views. It follows:

: ANOTHER S~ICE Olaf ~ TAX I.~ST
(: ----o----
~In ~.h0ther column of this paper will be found a list of property the
tO which will pass to the cour~ty unle&~ the property is redeemed
~in the next ninety days. Here lies one of the th4ngs which are year
]by year adding to the tax burden of the people, for immediately title to
Drope~y is veste~ in the county that 'moment taxes from it cease
~ffl such time as the county can sell the land, which means that a
~mrg~ part of it will remain county property for a long time.
2n fl2s one advertisement is involved $12~54.19 in taxes, interest and
~ot ~ty has already lost, and which income the county must
up from other taxpayers or reduce expenses an equivalent
is only one list of many such notices that have gone
' adding a little to the burdenof those who are able
to l~ty ~ carry the burden. The only good thin~.bout this list is that
e0mparatlvely few home people are invol~'ed in it.
It is diHtcu~t to see how the situation can be remedied, either in this
~it~s~ ~r the losses sustained ~by the counties ~from farm land taken by
the ~tate under foreclosure, but in both cases the situation is as bad, or
worse, from year to year.
There are many of these "leaks" in governmen~ which are little heard
~of and less understood, but which are slowly aggregating the present and
w~rse distress of property owners, but which, under present laws shows
no rdlief. That taxes must ~be reduced is beyond all question, but a Solo-
mon has not arisen who can devise a fair and equitable mode of taxa-
~glOn, and a St. George is not at hand to slay the dragon of many pres-
~emt laws. their inefficient executioa, or balefttl results.
&t such times as this it is the faShion to blame pttblic officers, from
"the highest to the lowest, for the high tax *burden, but in our view with
:legislatures and congress lies the blame for the multitude of commis-
,~ons, offices and whatno~ that are created every time a stress comes, as,
in the minds of many, the trouble can be cured by a few more creations
~of legtshttion that cos~ a lot of money and cannot be got ' rid of after
~ghey lmw succeeded, or failed, in bringing ~bout the desired relief.
Al~ng these lines a whole lot of hard thir~king can be done by all
::lntavegted in our future welfare.
