The Bounty Tax
Summary
B. A. Garlinger, Esq., Collector of Taxes for Washington County, says that $18,000 of the original $28,000 designated for bounty money has already been collected and sum of $10,000 remains to be collected. Prompt payment of the tax may be regarded as a test of loyalty. Those loyal to the Union realize the need to raise the bounty money through taxation and those who refuse to pay the bounty tax may be suspected of disloyalty.
