An effort will probably be made at the
next session of the New Jersey Legislature
to secure the passage of some law under
which poll, school and personal property
taxes may be collected from n~on-property
owners. AT present there are thousands
of dollars upon the Tax Collectors books
that never will be paid. There is no law
in New Jersey depriving a man of the
elective franchise until his taxes shall have
been paid, and personal property taxes are
paid, as a rule, only by those who own
property and are able to pay them along
with their real estate tax. AS a conse-
quence, the burden of taxation falls upon
the property owner. and he has been groan-
ing under the load for years.
