Semi.Annual Payment Of Taxes.

Governor Smith in his message,
recommends the semi-annual pay
ment Of taxes and gives his reasons
as follows:
As the law now stands, the fiscal
year closes on the 3Oth day of Novem-
ber. The last day FOR the payment
of taxes is the first Monday in De
cember, and settlement with the
state treasurer is made on the
second Monday in December. Under
this condition it is absolutely i'm
possible to close the fiscal year with
anything like creditable shape
Again, the policy of making al
taxes OF the year due and payable in
December works a great hardship
on many of our people who are hard
pressed to secure money enough to
carry them through our long, tedious
winters, or provide the usual holiday
comforts. 1t is also a hardship OF
our business men who usually seel
to close up their debts and account'
ready Tor the new year. Nor II
