Most of the successful candidates
have pledged themselves to do
so. what is needed is a system
that will be uniform throughout
the state, each county having the
same method. Miinrtcrly or
semi-annual payments should
bo the order: lax statements
should bo sent to each property
owner before tho board ol eimu
ization meets each year, and
they should be sent out without
tho nronerty owner being com
polled to ask for same. All
property, instead of being sold
for delinquent taxes after throe
years, should revert to tlt slate
after five years, at such rate of
interest as the county may be
ablo to carry it for. It woulc
make considerable difference
whether all taxes are payable the
first day of April each year, or
payablo in four equal annual in
