Tax Ferrets Money

and sale Of his property under tax
warrant which is void because upon
such proceeding, pays the amount
Of such charge, may recover It in a
proper action. Notwithstanding his
fault in failing to make full state
ment Of his taxable property in the
previous year, and Notwithstanding
that he has never discharged his
moral obligation to contribute in
proportion to his means to defray the
public expenses Of that year.
The court takes up the subject at
length as regards personal property
and real estate. 1t calls attention to
the law which says personal property
errors shall be corrected "at any
time before the final settlement with
the county treasurer" and adds:
Either the limitation referred to Is
absolute, and personal property not
returned. by the assessor can be
reached for taxation only by adding 1T
to the tax roll Of the current year be-
fore q final settlement is had with the
treasurer with respect thereto, or
there is no limitation whatever, and
taxes may be imposed at any time on
account Of personal property for
which the owner has failed TO make
due accounting. In substance, II
not in form, such property may be
placed upon the tax roll 0 any subse-
qMent year. To determine the actual
legislative purpose it is important to
consider other provisions Of the tax
laws. In the case u real estate It Is
expressly provided that lands that
have escaped taxation for any former
year or years. shalI be charged up
with the amUnnt thereof on the tax
roll. Gen. St. 1901, az 1879, 1880.
The omission from the sections quoted
uf all reference to the taxes Of former
years points Enthusiastically to an in
tention to pursue different method
in the case Of personal property.
This inference is strengthened by the
fact that personality is required to
be assessed at double its real value
If it is found to have escaped taxation
for the last preceding year, while no
such penalty is imposed If it has been
omitted from any earlier tax roll.
From these various provisions we con-
clude that the trainers Of the tax law
had under consideration the matter
Of the escape Of property from tax
alton in former years. and for reasons
Of the sufticiency of which they were
the sole judges saw ft to place q
time limit upon the effort to correct
such omissions in the case Of personal
property but not in the case OF real
estate. 1t results from this view
that the tax charged against the
plaintiff in 1908 on account Of proper
ty which she owned but did not pay
taxes upon in 1899 and the interven
ing years was wholly void.
1t is held by attorneys that this de
cision not only makes it impossible
for "tax ierretsH or any officers to e
back Of the current year to collec

Publication has been made OF the
complete tiecision-by the state supreme
court In case brought from Douglas
county concerning the collection o.
personal property taxes for past
years. II is Of especial interest here
as this county has collected large
amount 81 such taxes two years back
through the efforts Of "tax ierrets"
who received s24OO for their services
on basis Of 25 per cent Of the
amour. found. The basislf the case
decided was this:
..Hannah Lane was q resident Of
Douglas county from 1898 to 1902
During that time she was the owner
Of certain mortgages which she did
not include in her statsments Of tax
able property made to the assessor
and upon which she paid no taxes
On October 27, 1908, the county
clerk, upon notice to her, undertook
to charge her with tax on account
Of her ownership Of such mortgages
for each Of the years 1898, 1899, 1900,
1901, and 1903, the amounts being
fixed by estimating the value by the
usual methods and applying the rate
for the approximate year. a tax
warrant was issued, and to avoid the
seisuve and sale Of her property Mrs
Lane paid the amount charged against
her, and then brought an action
against the county to recover it. The
case was submitted upon an agreea
statement Of facts. Judgment was
given for the plaintiff, and the DE-
fendant prosecuted error"
The synopsis Of the supreme courts
decision is:
/, The power given to the county
clerk by section 1869 Of the General
Statutes Of 1901 to assess personal
property overlooked by the assessor
il no more extensive than that grant,
ed BY section 1899. which authorizes
the county clerk or board Of commits
sioners, nPon notice to the property
owner, to correct the assessors re
turns at any time before the final set
tlement with the county treasurer.
2. In view of the fact that the
statute provides in express terms
that, where real estate has escaped
taxation in any former year. the
amount SO avoided shall be added to
the tax Of the current year, while nc
similar provision is made in the case
OF personal property, said section
1899, Gen. st. 1901. cannot be regard
ed as affording means for collecting
the amount OF taxes that ought tc
have been but we're not imposed IN
previous years, but must be construed
as intended merely to authorize th'
county clerk or hoard Of commission
ers to add to the tax roll OF the cur
rent year personal property improper

ODD WAYS OF MARKING
HANDKERCHIEFS

n ARKING handkerchietS with the
M simple initial is extremely con-
Y fusing, especially when the
washing is sent to 4 laundress outside
of the house A good plan to avoid
this is to mark with both or all three
initials, or, better still, with the entire
name. This, however, is unpleasahty
conspicuous.
A better way is to secure smali
indelible stamp Of the name. and to
stamp the center OF each handker-
chief so that the marking is never In
sight except when 1t Is needed.
Another plan, adopted in family OF
three daughters. is to use system OF
eyelets in one corner-one eyelet LOT
the eldest daughter, two for the sec
ond. three for the third. The plan
works LIE a charm, for the family
initial on the parents handkerchiefs
are, of course. easily recognizable
from the difference between the size o.
mems and women's handkerchiefs.
Finally, one girl who boards alohe
marks each of her handkerchlets Win

Glass Covers for Table Tops

A N ENGLISH magazine recommends
II the covering of valuable cabinets
and fancy tables with ordinary
good-quality window glass.
Where the table is covered with old
tapestry or expensive satin or lace or
hand embroidery the reason is obvious.
1t is also an advantage over plain wood.
Every one knows that a drop of water
leaves a permanent white stain on fine
wood Glass can be washed as often as
desired. and meets all accidents with
equanimity.
Ornaments of silver or other metal
scratch wood; they have no effect on
glass. The wood is also protected from
dust and from all sorts of dirt.
And all the while the wood or the
cover of tapestry or embroidery is per-
fectly visible, and all its good points
are enhanced by the deepening and
Frightening effect of the glass.
1t is certainly a scheme worth trying.
