SCISSORS.
EXTRACTS FROM THE NEW LAW

New Arrangement of Property is
Radical Departure from the Plan
Formerly Used-Heavy Penalty for
Evasion or Refusal.
AS yet the general public is little
informed regarding the provisions or
the new assessment law and therefore
the following extracts from the new
revenue law, together with the ar
ticles which will be found listed in
the schedule of personal property
blank which will have to be filled out
and signed by every tax payer will
be found of great interest and value
The plan of assessment under the
new law is a radical departure from
the law which has been in vogue in
Nebraska. In addition to the listing
of the property of each taxpayer, the
property of minor child must be
listed by his guardians, and If there
is no guardian, provision is made for
the assessment Other sections in
the law read as follows:
The property of the wife, by her
husband, if of sound mind; if not by
herself. The property of person for
whose benefit it is held in trust by the
trustee; of the estate of deceased
person, by the executor of the estate.
Property of corporations whose as
sets are in the hands of a receiver.
The property of manufacturers and
others in the hands of an agent, by
and in the name of such agent.
The penalties for executing a false
or fraudulent list or for failing or re-
fusing to deliver to the assessor such
list or any attempted evasion of the
tax, is a heavy fine and any person
making a false schedule is deemed
guilty of perjury. The law also pro-
vides for the adding of a so per cent
penalty which is added to the assess
ment when refusal to make a schedule
is encountered.
