Opinions Differ.

The question of the validity of the
fortified tax sale which is to be held in
May, under Chapter 1922, Laws of 1899,
has been raised in St. Louis county, and
the commissioners there have ordered
proceedings stopped and the sale will
not be held.
Mr.. Phelps, their county attorney
stands high IN his profession and his
opinions are'of course worthy of respect
full consideration. We should think,
however, that the Attorney General and
State Auditor Iare- entitled to fully as
much consideration as. Mir. Phelps, and
they both hold that the law is valid.
In an interview published in the
Pioneer Press State. Auditor Dunn says:
L"Here some of. the county officers are
talking about the. tax, clearance sale.
They are afraid it won't stand. Let
'eml enforce the law as it stands and
somebody else can pick flaws in it.
Time enough to cross bridge whom they
come to it. But that, law is. all right.
It il. the 1881 law. almost word for word,
and that has beer constructed by the
supreme court. Almost every phrase in
it. has been itigated. The:only, change
is to makelit stronger. The old law re-
quires no personal service. The new law
requires it both for the. owner and the CO.
cupant, The new law protects. thetclaims
OF thescounty andscity ny. requiring that
30 per cent of all taxesxmust be bid. It
is.certaintly not fol. the interest of, the. 80
OF the people. who pay taxes to have it
ssetasiue. It is certainly not for the
interest of the counties or icjties. Your
schools land other funds: will be. helped
by. this.law It gives man every fright
: to redeem his property, and then: says
the states lien. must bs.enforced. There
couldn't be better law. The law can
not be set aside. AS 6, whole. Some. indi-
vidual sales may be irregular because of
the blunder of some careless county
officers or some dunderheaded printers.
But If they will all attend to their busin-
ess instead of worrying about the law it
will stick all r1ght. That's what We are
doing and that is whit the people, have
the right Il. expect their local officers to
do"
The sale in this cotnty will be held
as the law contemplated. and in the
mean time no applications for abatement
of taxes will be granted.
