TAXES FRou WHICH SOLDIERS
ARE EyEuPTED.

There IL an impression throughout the State
that soldiers have been exempted from general
TAXATION. This is an error. At the last session
Of the Legislature q Law was enacted. which eI
enpsz from the payment Of taxes to pay the
orders Issued By counties for the payment Of
bountes, all persons sho have been in the mill
t4ry or naval service or the United States for
one year or more aud who have net received q
county bounty of three hundred dollars and
Over. The following is the 9Th section Of the
sesfeferred 10. passed March ID, 1865.
+Jtis hereby provided that ia all cases Of taxes
sssessed and charged 20 pay all such debts ss are
named in this act, on the property OF persons who
have been. or are now in the naval, marine or
military service OF The United Stales in the war
for suppressing the Southern rebellion. or their
families or descendants. osincludpg substitutes,
or those who received bounties from counties. 10
the amount Of three hundred dollars or over;
the services Of such persons 50 being or having
been in the military service shall be deemed
equal TO such taxes, and said taxes shall be sat
isfed and discharged on the order Of the Board
Of Commissioners OF the proper county, OF in va
cation Of sad Board. on the order Of the County
Auditor. provided. that the provisions of this sec
ton shall not extend to or embrace commissioned
ofioers"
Any private soldier non commissioned off,
Ger who finds himself assessed for the above tax
may have it RENTED By applying to the County
Auditor. or tn County Commissioners when
they are in session
Tie same law gives the counties four years
within which 20 pay the deb, created by the issue
Of these orders. intending that the tax shall be
collected in ins,alments that it may not become
oppressive upon the people
THIS is the only law which has been enacted
eIempting soldiers from taxation. and it is Ger
tainly RICH, that those Who went into the service
without receiving the bounty named. three hun
dred dollars and over should be exempt from
the payment Of the taxes levied TO induce volun-
tary enlistments and proven, the enforcement, Of
