SOME PEOPLE ALWAYS PAY.

Comparisons made by Auditor Cen
eral Fuller in the collection of taxes
this year with the collection of last
year show that the counties of tho
state pay about the same proportion
of the tax assessed each year. In ~
counties the ratio OF payment for the
two years was exactly the same. HIS
explanation of this condition Is that
there Is a class of citizens who always
pay their taxes no matter what the
amount Is. and that this class does
not vary In size from year to year.
