The ways of auctioneers in different
parts of the world vary greatly. In Eng
land and America the seller bears the

purchaser bears the cost, per cent

the expense of the sale.

Collection of Taxes.

The present law in force in this state
making personal taxes a first lien
against property taxed was adopted
from the Illinois statute and if the de
clsions of the supreme court of that
state are followed some people who
dodge personal taxes by disposing of
their property before time for levying
or collection arrive are liable to be
pounced upon in future years and taxes
collected from other property.
The courts Of that state have held that
the tax follows the property, but that it
also became judgment against the
party originally charged with the tax,
and lien also against any property the
party might acquire in the future. 1t is
the custom OF county commissioners to
go over the delinquent lists and charge
oTtaxes against parties who have no pro.
perty, but with the present law there is
no doubt but that parties charged with
personal tax who do not pay should be
charged in the list Of uncollectible taxes
and at any time in the future if they
own any property is to subject It to the
lien of the state for unpaid personal
property tau.
This feature of our law may be en-
barassing to some people if enforced,
and it might be well for all persons who
are on the delinquent personal list to
know that they are likely to have to pay
back taxes at any time although such
was not the case under our law prior to
the enactment of 1897.
Every county in the state could make
more OF less collections by enforcing
this provision of law and no doubt some
people who are charged on tax lists as
"uncollectible" may be bounced Upon
when not expecting it for charges due
the state and county.-Argus Leader.
