CONTEMPORARY.

The stanton Spectator in discussing
the delinquent tax law says, with it's
usual reckless disregard of facts, that
everybody knows that these penalties
must IN ninety-nine out OF one hundred
cases be paid by the poor
on the contrary our Information from
the Auditors office IS that these PEN
alties" have been paid I'm many cases by
those who were amply able TO pay their
taxes but would not, and IN some IN
stances by those who had bought boom
lands for speculation. A number Of col
ored property owners were also delin-
Quent but the poor whites who were de-
linquent were exceptionally few. The
fact is that the poor man IS afraid 20 be
delinquent. He is afraid not 20 meet his
obligations because II trouble comes upon
him there is too often no escape for him
Therefore. as q rule. the poor man pays
up promptly. and It is I'm behalf Of those
who do pay promptly that we have in
sisted that those who are able to pay and
will not pay should be made 90 pay
This law was not designed to Cypress
the poor as the staunteon paper would
make IL appear on the contrary it was
designed to relieve the poor by making
an classes of taxpayers shoulder their
part OF the public burden. No one ever
makes anything by oyerstating a fact.
