Illegal Tax Certificates. Ta

Illegal Tax Certificates Tae
question Of illegal Tax Certificates is
exciting considerable interest iast now
from the fact shat they axe eoming up
on us as thick and fast as frogs upon
Egypt in days of yore. The occasion
Of their illegality, 1t is alleged, is illc-
gal action on the part of the County
Treasures III tinses past IN falling to
advertise according to las, and fuMher
the decgri@n Of the Supreme Court rel
ative to mere technicaiity, the ahix-
ing OF revenue stamp upon said Ger
tiiiea>cs as authorized by Legislative en-
actment; tie Court decjling that such
action rendered the certificates uuIl
and void Ii we have a. clear concep-
ton of this tax certificate business, il
is presumable that very many Of them
may have been redeemed as has beega the
case in adjoining counties, therefore
any action of the County Board tend
Eng towards redemption or payment in
county orders. without mature deliber-
alton, and careful investigation would
oe at least unwarranted AID unjust.
We presume there are innocent pur-
ohaserg, holders Of certificates, who
are justly entitled to receive oompen-
sation therefor, but there are other par
ties who have been specializing to the
county's deriment on just such GER
Observation-Disclosures bought for nom
inal figure by non-residcnts, who have
applied them toward the purchase of
valuable lands-valuabl because of the
pine thereon, and who now, after strip
ping off the pine, present them fer
payment together with those upon lands
proving Of little value, asking dollar
for dollar for what they have pur-
chased for from fifty to sixty cents.
This is such gross injustice that we
have no doubt the County Board will
investigate before taking action there
en-. Right wrongs nobody, but injus-
tice is grievous, and our people have
row sufficient burden upon them with
out taking new responsibilities, found
ed only in error and unjust action.
