MUST PAY TAXES
BY DECEMBER IS
Decision Of Supreme Court Says all
Taxes Must be Paid by Next
Tuesday
Pay your taXes ~ December l5lh.

Pay your taxes By December 18th
The law prescribes and the supreme
court has decided that if taxes for the first
half Of the year are not paid by December
18th the whole becomes delinquent and
you must pay the total amount by the
third Monday in January
While there has been a suggestion that
the legislature will remedy this state of
affairs yet the legislature does not meet
ill the first week in January when il will
be too late to protect yourself against
delinquency
If you should be unable to pay on the
18th by reason Of the crowded condition
of the treasurers Office you can make a
legal tender Of the amount of taxes for
thc first half and save yourself the penalty
of paying the whole Of the assessment
and the delinquency But legal tender
must be made 50 that the treasurer can
date the receipt on that day.
All Of the taxpayers should see 20 II
thai they protect themselves and not take
any chances on legislative action. The
Legislature may or il may not relieve the
situation. II may be late in February
before the law Is passed and then the
time for delinquency will have passed by
more than month.
Taxes are due semi-annually, the 18th
Of December and the 18th Of June. Should
the first payment not be made within the
specified time both payments become due
upon the third Monday in January. In
that case the time for the attaching Of
the penalty on the second payment is
waived and the penalty for the entire
amount is fixed at the expiration Of sixty
days. If payment of taxes on property
IS not paid. either on the December or
June installments the property is sold in
November
The first payment Of taxes for each
year formerly was made in June Il is
now made in December The change was
brought about by peculiar circumstance.
Oklahoma Territory on the eve of state
hood paid taxes while Indian Territory
did not. Then in order to equalize matters
the Oklahoma side Of the state skipped a
payment which the citizens on the Indian
Territory side we're compelled 10 meet,
The entire state starts in December on an
equal footing
