lNNECESSA HARDSHIP.
Mr. Henscy's Comment on Penalty
Payments Delayed Tax.

Mr.. Thomas G. HenScy of 1:iU + street
has written the District Commissioners
relative to the bill pending in Congress
providing for one payment annually of
taxes on real and personal property in the
District. With the low rates of interest
now prevailing. says Mr.. Hensey it would
sem that a penalty of t. per cent would
he sufficient. and avoid working the hard
slip thar is now. he claims unnecessarily
inflicted on the delinquent taxpayer
Referring to the bill, Mr. Henscy says:
In connection Herewith, allow me to pre-
sent for your consideration if. i'll your
judgment il seems equitable and just. the
suggestion that the penalty for the nom
payment of taxes should be reduced from
l per cent a month 1" onc-haIf of | per
cent month. II Is true that your honor
able board has on several occasions recon-
n"nded To Congress bill for the relief of
delinquent taxpayers. at the rate of g per
cent per annum- This. in my judgment.
has not relieved generally the people who
need relief. but has only relieved those
who. from some cause or other. nave failed
To- pay their taxes. trusting to the relief
act and who have had influence enough TO
rely on their ability to get that kind of
legislation.
The greater the penalty on the deln-
qucnt the greater his hardship. | not

penalty was per cent month. but | am
Of the opinion that it must have been
harder to collect under such severe pen
atty than il is with half that penalty.
There can be no question to the neceS-
sity Of some method by which the pay
nlent of taxes may be enforced. but that
method should be one TO facilitate and not
To retard. Under a proper law to sell for
taxes there can be no difficulty. Maryland
Virginia. New Jersey and New York only
impose a penalty of per cent per annum.
