Since the advent of the depression there has been a tendency to soften thé iron hand of the tax collector or, to use another simile, to temper the wind to the shorn lamb. Taxes have not been paid with accus tomed regularity, either because penalties have been reduced or - because the money has not been available The experience of this county leads us to believe that the ma- jor reason for non payment of taxes is the lack of money This year Sherman countians have paid up a little better than last which has been due primârily to a slightly better income, we think. Our land owners, generally, are a responsible lot and will pay their taxes when it is possible The last legislative removed penalties from taxes prior to 1930 and arranged for a partial payment plan which will make tax pay ment mandatory within five years. The partial payment feature of the scheme is alright but the cancellation of the penalties will will likely tend to cause delinquents to wait for another such law before paying their taxes It is not fair to those who pay on time to allow cancellation of penalties , 2 Because there is a considerable body of taxpayers who pay their assessments when they can we do not advocate a large penal ty on delinquent taxes. Two percent a year with 8 percent inter est should be sufficient to insure payment without penalizing to too great an extent the honorable, but hard run, taxpayer. Rebates for pre-payment might tend to increase tax rates as levying boards would be inclined to raise budgets to offset the rebate. We doubt if this is the time for the state to make drastic laws for collection of taxes. A modest, but sure, penalty may not bring in money to the counties as fast as a harsh rule, but it will allow deserving, but delinquent, property owners a chance to retain their holdings. = —1—- news printed on them, in the form of 1-2-3-4-5 etc, were passed out to the expectant, and (otherwise,) students.
