THE DELINQUENT TAX LIST

r. L. Anderson is certainly a
veritable genius. The easy man
ncr in which he dispensed with
the law and manufactured case
out of nothing in the discussion
on the tax list yesterday before
the Board of County Commits
sioners, was both interesting and
amusing. He declared that the
law requiring the tax collector to
close his books on or before the
first Monday in April was not
mandatory, but simply directory;
that there was no delinquent tax
list until it was made out by the
tax collector. Commissioner
Chitty interrupted the gentleman
by saying, "Well, according to
your views, we have no law on
the subject, and the books might
be kept open until doomsday."
Whereupon the eloquent attor-
ney smiled facetiously and passed
on.
At the close of Mr.. Anderson's
speech Mr.. Albert Wright, at
torney for the Evening Star,
showed that the law was manda-
tory and that every person in Ma
rion county who had failed to
pay his taxes on or before the
first Monday in April was a de-
linquent. Hon. w. K. Zewad-
ski, also attorney for the Star,
made an able and telling speech.
He said that the law required the
tax books to be closed on the
first Monday in April and that
neither the commissioners nor
tax collector had any authority
to keep them open a single day
after that time. He advised the
commissioners to rise above their
personal preferences and carry
out the law. But it was evident
that the minds of the three new
members were made up and in
the face of the plain statute and
contrary to the advice of the at
torneys, they passed a motion
recommending the collector to
keep his books open till Sept. st.
Messrs Allen and Chitty voted
against the illegal measure. The
three new members also passed a
resolution expressing their be-
lief that the action of the board
awarding the Evening Star the
contract for publishing the de-
linquent tax list was null and
void. Messrs. Allen and Chitty,
the two old member, protested
against the passage of the reso-
luton, but the famous trio de-
clared it must pass and refused
to listen to law or reason. They
consulted Mr.. Burford, the coun-
ty attorney, about other impor-
tant measures, but upon the
question of wreaking a little
vengeance on the Evening Star

They Have Lowered In Price and In
creased In Reliability
There has been more progress made
in the revolver trade in the past ten
years, explained Connecticut revolv-
er manufacturer to Washington Star
reporter, than in any other line Of
trade that | know Of There was a
time when even the old fashioned sin
gle barreled pistol could not be manu-
featured to sell for less than s or even
more. That time has gone, and the sim
gle barreled pistol is thing of the past.
In its place came the revolver, which
is now made in all sizes, from vest
pocket revolver to that which is carried
in a holster The prices have kept on
going down as the revolvers have i'm
proved in manufacture, so that now q
perfect working and reliable revolver
can be bought at retail as low as 81,
and even the best makes for 81 or So.
THE self cooking and hammerlcsS
revolver which five years ago sold at
retail at $40 and $l2, can now be
bought by the carload as low as 50 or
$3, and the better goods at from 81 70
So In these arms the best steel Is used.
The German revolver, which was the
only one which ever seriously competed
with those of American make, has about
run out its race and is never offered
any more except in country stores,
where it is bought by boys. 1t is clum-
sier made and heavier than the Ameri-
can revolver and no more compares
with the latter than than does the Eng
lish line of revolvers, which at one
time were very freely sold in this ooun-
try. Likewise the American rife and
shotgun have outdistanced all other
makes, though the German cheap shot
guns still find good market with those
who do not care to put much money in
a gun The American double barreled
shotgun, which sells at retail for about
$l2, is a much cheaper gun in the long
run than the German make, which sells
at from So to So, as all of those who
have had experience with them discov-
cred long ago.
