reduces tho interest to per cent. on sales
made previous TO 80, then the County
Board Of next year will in like manner
and for ike reasons reduce the interest on
sales made previous to 80; and 50 on
year after year. Thus seven per cent. il
fixed as the rule for the benefit Of srecula-
tors, as an indacement for them to leave
their taxes unpaid for three years Or more;
whereas, all spectators who are such con
summate fools as to redeem their lands be-
fore the three years must pay 25 per cent.
interest per annum, or 18 per cent. more
than tardy tax-payersl
The very lesson taught by the Board is
o damage to the country, inasm uch as it
offers premium for not paying taxes in
side Of The period Of final forfeiture or
some seven years. The logic may appear
by this illustration: Suppose the penalty
for non-tax paying were entirely removed.
Then il is conclusive that few would be the
taxpayers. Is it not equally conclusive
that just in proportion as such penaltis are
reduced, men will neglect payingG
Tracts OF land that have been returned
delinquent for many years, long enough TO
show their abandonment by owners, should
be decided to the county, by two or three
deeds to cover official irregularities. At
terward it would be proper to treat them
as the real estate Of the county; the county
nay pay the taxes, or what would be the
same, direct the Treasurer to charge them
to the county. Should former owner
apply for redemption, sell the lands to
him, same as to any other, charging a
good round sum, including 25 per cent.
interest; this sum should be invariably
charged to deter men from neglect and
from hopes ofsome day redeeming below
statute rates. This course would be in
bounds Of law and prove about as efficient
as can be devised. The county is bound
to lose on worthless and abandoned lands
and the only way is to make up the loss
as provided by law, which is to exact full
legal penalties against delinquent owners
Of valuable lands. These experiments and
new inventions for disposing of delinquent
lands must fail. Adler men than our
Board have puzzled their heads for months
in deyising our tax laws, and for the Coun-
ty Board to attempt any improvement is
useless and not expected by the public.
