In the Circuit Court, at Lafayette, Judge
Vinton has decided that sales of lands and lots,
under the three-year delinquency tax law, when
made to the owner, must be put back on the
duplicate and resold unless the purchaser shall
have paid the full amount of the tax, interest
and penalties due. The last Legislature passed
q law that property that had been three years
delinquent should be sold to the highest bidder
for cash, and IL not sold, then it was to be for
feited to the State. Property-owners who were
delinquent attended these sales and bought in
their property, man who owed Sd, 500 tax
paying $3.50, supposing that this would be re-
lease the balance. The court holds that
wherever the sale was to the owner or an agent
acting for him, the sum paid is but credit on
the total DUE and the property is still chargeable
with the balance.

The American government had taken private
property and used it for TIE public GOOD This
was not only lawful. but it was very clever
piece of diplomatic work under the circum-
stances. Every one acquiesced. Even the
merchants who had lost their ships were pleased
because the American Constitution said. Nor
shall private property be taken for public use
without just compensation
The shipowners had faith in their government
ana believed they would receive that just COM
pensaiion. But they we're doomed to realize
that hope deferred maketh the heart sick Their
just demands were put off. The war of 1912
came The public mind was occupied in saving
the nation. The public treasury was empty.
When peace and plenty came the claims had
grown old. The constant dunning of these
creditors became tresome to the debtor. Even
when, few years later, the disposition of the
surplus In the Treasury became question
which agitated the whole nation, the prayer Of
the creditor that his debt might be paid was un-
needed The great minds of our fathers were
too much engaged in considering the theories Of
protective tariff and of free trade to pay the
debts of the nation.
1t is part of history that many of these ship
owners were wholly ruined by the coniiscation
of their ships. Old men, who by a seafaring

Some began life over, but others broke down
entirely and died in poverty. Many even went
to the poor-houses. and few, it is said. died of
hunger because the nation had seized their
property without rendering just compensation.
More than ninety years have passed since the
first claims were filed. but it was not until the
last session that any step was taken to do JUS
tice in this matter. A bill was passed by which
those who have inherited the claims may re-
ceive partial compensation. The old claims
are, Of course, on file in the State Department
