ested
- If any person shall wilfully make, give,
under oath affirmation, false list of his,
her, their taxable property. false list Of
taxable property under his, her. or their CONTROL
such person shall be deemed guilty of perjury,
and upon conviction thereof. shall be punished
therefor, as is by law provided for the punish
ment of perjury and any property wilfully con-
cealcd, removed, transferred, or misreprcsented
by the owner agent thereof, to evadc taxation
shall upon discovery, be assessed at ten times
the amount of tax, for that year, which would
otherwise have been assessed upon it and fifty
per cent. of the amount of such additional tax,
when collected, shall be paid to the person or
persons who shall furnish the information which
reveals the property concealed, transferred,
removed or misrepresented, and the remaining
fifty per cent, after deducting the usual per
centage for collection, shall be paid into the
Treasury, for the benefit of the Common School
Fund of the State
From the language of the above clause we
should judge that the intent of the law is that
all persons making return of property liable to
taxation. are required to furnish list of prop
erty belonging to them or under their control
This would do away with all quibhling, would
serve Il protection to the county, and leave no
cause for doubt as to the faithful performance of
the Assessors duties. Furthermore, would
recommend that for the protection of the Asses
sor taxes on personal property should be paid
when assessed.
