Redemption of Delinquent Tax Ii
ties.
from O.S. Jonrnal.l


The Senate made an impor tant change
in title AlII Of the Code. in relation to
the penalty for delinquent taxes In the
early history of this State the penalty
incurred by a failure to pay taxes on
ones real estate. was fifty per cent. of
the money paid by the tax title. with in
terest from the date of the purchase -
Two years were allowed for redemption
Some ten years ago this penalty was
changed to twenty-five per cent with in
terest, for the first year, and fifty per
cent if allowed to run two wears. This
penalty of fifty per cent and the inter-
est at six per cent. per annum gave the
purchaser the enormous sum of sixty
two per cent. for the use of the sum he
paid for his tax title. The Senate, while
in committee Of the Whole, amended
section 2S, reducing the penalty for the
first year to fifteen per cent, and for
the second to twenty-five A bill call
ing for this reduction has been in the
hands of the House Judiciary commit

now he reported as the subject will be
acted upon while the House is in com.
mittee of the Whole considering the
Code. There is no reason why the Sen.
ate amendments should not be copcured
In.
The law will then give the purchaser 81
per cent, for his money the first year and
81 the second. This is higher than any
of the Eastern States. In Massachusetts
and New York the penalty is but 10 per
cent; in Vermont and Connecticut IL; in
Main and Rhode Island 20; in California
it is. Is per cent, for the first three months
and 30 per cent, any time thereafter in
two years. In Rhode Island the delin.
quent is mulcted IN the sum of 20 per
cent. Whether he redeems his land the
day after the sale or holds off for two
years. The New Jersey lawmakers have
made a fortunate arrangement by which
the delinquent pays nothing. His prop,
erty is knocked off to the highest bidder
who will agree to hold it the shortest time
and then hand it over to the owner in as
good condition as he found it. AS VIC
go West, We find the penalty increases
In Indiana and Michigan it is fifty pei
cent. In Illinois sliding scale has
been adopted, the penalty running from
twenty five per cent, the first six months
to fifty the second, seventy.five the thirt
and one hundred the fourth 1t was ones
thought that high penalty would dimin
ish the number of delinquents, but this i,

where the penalty is the most severe and

eyThe reply Of Prince Gortschakof

ETThe reply Of Prince Gortschakoff
to the circular of Lord Salisbury is re.
garded as somewhat conciliatory, and
smacks of the old story of guardianship
of Christian interests in Turkey. 1t takes
a good deal Of language to put cloak
on Russia's real intentions, but there is
one part Of Prince Gortschakoff's reply
which is frank Russia desires to hold
her acquisitions in Armenia, so as not to
have to besiege them at the beginning of
each war. That is, Russia having taken
another step in conquest, she desires to
hold the advantages so that she can ad
vance further on the map when she opens
another "Chri-tian" war.

BURLINGTON Hankeye: Tell you what, there
ID something in blood aud the pride of birth, af.
ter all. The Virginia papers are urging the peo-
pie of that State not to permit ''fslse pride" to
prevent their indorsing and advocating repudi-

railroad king took the fellow to his heart, gave
him pass, and said in an ecstasy: "Sir. / ad-
mire you. You are the first deadhead that ever
told the truth"
