The last issue of several county
papers contain the delinquent tax
list, published under the new scaven-
ger tax law. The lists are large
ones, and contain all delinquent
taxes on the books. 1t is an oxpen-
sive luxury to the counties, and its
very doubtful if it will clean up the
books and dispose OF property anv
better than other tax laws. The
publishers are in some doubt as to
the prices to he paid for this work.
The ordinary price oil tax lists
would lose money for the publishers,
and a second publication at $1.75
per square, as some cain under the
law, would be greater expense
than the counties could get out of
sale OF the lands and lots. Papers
in some counties refused to publish
the lists, because the price allowed
by law is too small.

which takes the enforced collection of
personal taxes out or the hands Of the
county treasurer and makes it the duty
of the sheriff to make the collections. at
the same time requiring him to make a
report as 10 why he failed to make the
collection. In every case costs are
assessed against the delinquent, which
added to the original tax, amounts, in
many cases, to large sums. Payments
are nov being made to avoid the added
cost OF a visit from the sheriff which the
law requites shall be made Immediately

a distance Of 500 miles-but under the
new plan there will be three on each car
making the long run from Lincoln to
B~illings-a distance of over S33 miles
thus allowing the clerks to relieve each
other. The change will bring an ia
