There is much talk to the ef-
fect that in case of suit * jury
will not return a verdict for
taxes. If on a trial, it ai pears
the taxes were duly levied, even
though a jury might be demand-
ed, the court woull instruct the
jury to return a verdict for the
taxes. Besides, when the Jery-
it Was collected it would take nTen understand that a large part

Holmes* Statement
gn Delinquent Taxes
Xt a recent meeting, in‘ the
ission of whether the state
>uld lay more taxes or collect
delinquent taxed, it was point-
out that there are twenty-one
Jions of delinquent taxes due
state and that if even half
IdeflMt and pav seven millions* oh
1 it* general deficit. Reference was
^de also to the wide-spread pro-
paganda that to enforce paytprnt
V< delinquent taxes would greatly
tppress the small tax payer; and
lie statement was made that
j>ch was merely a smoke screen
jnd which the large tax payer
hiding. In this connection it
pointed | oiit. that from an
i-*"
V
1
|of varying sites and various parts
the state showed that 5 per
<%pnt of the delinquent tax. pay-
ers owe 35 per cent of the delin-
•Mhient taxes. It was argue<) ' that
d these and many others could
raise the monfcy to pay these
A delinquent taxes, pnd that it would
he unfair to those who have paid
their taxes to now lay more
—a taxes on them and allow the de-
linquents to go free.
" v f Practically the same condition
prevails in the citv of Comanche.
« The delinquent taxes amount _ to
around $18,000 which is about
three-fourths of a total' year’s
Icome. One-third of these taxes
owing by only 6 per cent of
Jie delinquent tax payers, those
vho. owe over $100; and nearly
* ''ryqne of them ha* a going
LnMhess or business property In
fown. Only one-third of the de-
ftouent tax pavers, those owing
• ver $25, owe full two-thirds of
- lie delinquent taxes; 22 per cent,
them, those owing fifty dol-
ors and up, owe 60 per rent of
i delinquent taxes; and 14 per
!ent of them, those owing $75
ind up, owe 45 per cent of those
, hvt-s. If those heSvv 'delinquents
vho could nav would pay, the
iinancial conditions of Comanche
can pay, they will not be so slow
to return verdicts. Also many
have the idea that the taxes
against the homestead can not
be collected. This is an erorr.
Taxes against the homestead may
bo foreclosed and the homestead
sold for them, exactly as in the
case of any other property. Un-
der Federal relief plan, the gov-
ernment will lend money at a
mination of fourteen counties^ low rate of intereet to take up
tgxes against town resident home-
steads.' c—
The city council has authorised
me to go ahead. It is to be
hoped that no extensive tax fork-
closures will be necessary._ j*
