Defects in Nebraska's Taxation System

not amount 10 much, and allow the tax to
run past the date Of payment and when
the date Is once past the habit Of procras-
tnation becomes fixed and before they
know IL they have an accumulation Of in
terest that makes the tax burden
whereas IL there had been just a little
stronger inducement for them to pay
promptly on the date they would have
saved themselves this burden. Iowa, Ore
gon, Pennsylvania and some other states
date the interest back in this manner, and
several other states among which are
Kansas, North Dakota and Michigan, add
fixed penalty of from to per cent as
soon as a tax becomes delinquent which
is in addition to the regular rate OF in
terest.
G. We suggest that in case the first in
stallment is not paid before the date fixed
for its payment, February l. no interest
should be charged II both nstallments are
paid before May 1. This would give those
who unintentonally failed TO pay their first
paying interest by paying both installments
at once before May /, and in addition
to this would offer an inducement for
people 20 pay their who tax at one time
and thus reduce the cost OF collection.
find no precedent for this in the laws Of
other states, but It certainly needs none.
Z. We suggest that a small discount be
allowed II both installments Of tax are
paid before a given date Kansas allows
per cent discount on one-half the tax
II the whole Is paid before given date
Kentucky allows per cent IL paid by
one date 2 per cent IL paid by another
md 1 per cent II paid by another. Oregon
allows 8 per cent and several other states
nave similar provisions. The chief benefit
Of a discount is TO induce those who can
to pay their tax early and save having such
a rush at the office when taxes become de-
rnuuent and thus help distribute the
work of the office more uniformly through
out the year. Personally I believe a very
small discount, say 1 per cent, would an
swer this purpose.
From the foregoing 1t will be seen that
the suggestion we have made are not
visionary or untried, but for the most
part have the sanction Of legislative
enactment To recapitulate, our sugges-
tons are these:
First-That all taxes Of every kind be-
come due on November ], and that one
rule as to the time and manner of pay
ment apply to all taxes, so that 1t Will
be possible to ascertain at one time what
ones taxes for the entire year will be-
second-That a discount of 1 per cent
be allowed II the whore laN 10 palV at OhS
time before December l.
Third-That taxes be payable in two
equal installments at the option of the
Taxpayer That II the first installment is
paid before February l. the second In
stallment would not be delinquent until
July L otherwise the entire taxes would
become delinquent February l. Provided
however
Fourth-That if the first installment Ia
not paid before February !, interest may
be avoided by paying both installments at
one time before May l. In other words,
the entire tax might be paid without In
J terest any time before May 1, If both in

In studying this subject we have en-
deavored, as far as possible, to adopt
principles that have been tried in other
states. and have resortcd 20 our own
theories only when we have failed to find
anything I'm the laws Of other states that
would reach the result we desired. 1t
would be neither desirable nor practicable
to give an exhaustive review Of the laws
Of other states at this time, but we will
give few OF the states that have adopted
certain OF the principles that we have sug-
gested. The plan we have suggested does
not follow the laws OF any one state in
full, but each principle, with one or two
exceptions, Is found in the law Of some
state Wherever possible we will refer to
the laws Of Iowa, principally because any
one who desires to study the practical
operation OF these principles can do so by
ticking a short car ride to Council Bluffs,
where some Of them have been In opera
ton for many years.
At present we have three kinds Of real
estate tax and two kinds Of personal tax,
each known by a different name, becom-
ing due and delinquent at various dates
each being kept in a separate set Of books,
all five OF which sets Of books must be
examined az a person owns both real
can be advised as to the condition Of his
taxes for any one year. We have sug-
gested:
l. That all taxes OF every kind become
due at one time and be payable on the
same dates, which dates should be ar
ranged to suit the convenience Of the tax
payer, 80 that IL would be possible for the
taxpayer to ascertain at one time what his
taxes for the entire year would be, and
know that one rule as to time of pay
ment would apply to every kind OF tax.
We suggest that all taxes affecting
real estate should be included in one item
and kept in one book instead of three, as
at present. Iowa includes the county tax,
the city tax and special tax in one item
and overcomes the confusion met by
Omaha taxpayers
3. We suggest having taxes payable In
two installments at the option of the tax
payer, for the benefit of those who do not
find it convenient to pay the whole sum
at one time. A great number Of states
have this provision. among which are Cali
fcrnia, Colorado, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas,
Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio,
Oregon, Pennsylvania and Washington.
4, We suggest making the extension of
time for the SECOND iustallment conditional
Oh thS payment VI lHe AlISl INSTRUMENT De
fore a given date-that is, If the first in
stallment is not paid by the date fixed
for its payment the whole tax shall at
once become delinquent. Iowa and most
Of the other states that allow payment in
two installments have this provision.
8. We suggest that If an instalment of
Flax is not paid by the day fixed for its
payment, interest should be charged from
a prior date so that allowing tax to be-
come delinquent would add a penalty of
several months interest instead OF a few
days interest. This should be done, for
the reason that people have a habit Of
thinking that a few days interest will

stallments were paid at one time so that
it might all be written on one receipt.
Fifth-That discount Of 1 per cent DO
allowed II both installments are paid at
one time before December l.
This would relieve the taxpayer OF the
necessity Of calling at the treasurer's Of
flee oftener than once year and would
fix five different dates-November l. De
cember 1. February 1. May 1 and July l.
near which different people for different
reasons would be induced 80 call so that
the work would be distributed evenly
throughout the year, the periods of con
gestion that now occur be wholly avoided
and better service to the public made pos
sible at a reduced expense. Il Is not our
purpose at this time to even approximate
the amount that might be saved to the
taxpayer Of Douglas county by these pro-
posed changes. but II will be apparent to
those who have followed these articles
that several thousand dollars could be
saved in the way OF expense, and the loss
OF tax that follows as a necessary in
cidCnt to our present system, and in ad-
dition to this, relieve the taxpayer Of
the confusion that now exists in his mind
and make it possible for him to pay his
taxes with greater comfort and certainty
These are some OF the changes that
must eventually be made In our tax sys-
tenn, and whether they be made by the
coming session Of the legislature or at
some future time, II is well for US to
give the subject our best consideration at
this time with a view TO developing a
system that will, when adopted meet the
needs Of all localities of the state and
the convenience Of the taxpayers.

FRAMING NEGRO MINISTER'S
Institution Of Significant Character
Opened Last Month.
LOCATED IN NORTH CAROLINA

Leaders of the COIOred
CitiHena.

DURHAM. n. c.. Nov. Especial THE
opening of a school here last month known
as the National Religious Training school
and Chautauqua presents to the cduca-
tional world a new institution for the
colored people uninterrupted by anybody
heretofore
The founder and president Of the school
Or. James H. shepard issued bulletins an
nounclng the courses and those who will
direct them. Declaring his belief that the
quickest way to racial elevation is religious
training rather than industrial DR. Shep-
ard has planned a school that accents the
first and gives liberal time to the second,
himself directing the industrial depart
ments.
The president is beginning with the negro
minister That Individual Ia the undisputCd
leader OF his race fact known Of ali
men in the south. In former days when
the black man voted under no restrictions
at ALL the candidate for office needed but
| to make his peace with the black minister
and the laymen were voted solldly. II was
full knowledge OF these conditions that
moved President Shepard to plan his
school, dedicated largely to the black min
listers education.
Preacher the Natural Leader.
HE is the leader OF the race" Dr. Shep-
ard says, and his power Is such that intel
ligent leadership is imperative. We have
5000 colored ministers in the country and
every tenth man is a black man. The 1000 o.
900 blacks are led by 10000 minister's of
which number only 5000 are educated in
any sort OF way befitting leaders Of the
race and preachers OF the gospel. These
figures show the appalling conditions OF
tho colored clergy, race OF feeble but
earnest people, as a rule wholly unequal
to the task of lifting up the benighted
people far from towns and cities"
The school and the president have won
the friendship of this municipality and
through the Merchants association, which
has given II hearty endorsement, TWEEN
ty-flve acres Of land have been donated to
1t. Upon its campus now stand permanent
buildings which are to serve its purposes
the coming winter. An auditorium, a
mems and womens dormitory and dining
hall are ready for the first school year,
and in these during the last summer a
chautauqua course was given by some
OF the countrys leading preachers and
teachers OF both races, closing after six
weeks Of the most successful work ever
attempted by southern negroes.

VIII FoWer Alone WI Not Stop the
Excessive Use OF Liquor
The temperance advocate and total alb
stainer are strong in their declaration
that drunkenness is a mean, low and dis
graceful habit from which any ordinary
person can free himself by the exercise
of his win power alone.
Medical men, by patient research, have
demonstrated that drunkenness is a pois-
oning and that the drunkard is one in
need Of medical attention.
The disease of alcoholism can surely
be cured. thanks to the Neal treatment,
which has demonstrated that it is an in
fallible remedy striking at once at the
roots OF the trouble. There has always
been demand for the treatment for hab-
itual drunkenness which can be admins
tered internally. without the use Of dan
gerous hypodermic injections.
Experience has taught that no institute
eXtant other than the Neal Institute i'm
Omaha at 1902 South 10th St., has ever
been successful in treating drunkenness
in lees than four weeks time. II makes
no difference how long a man has been
drinking, how much or how little he
drinks, or what he drinks, the Neal treat
ment has never failed to cure in three
days time. and without the use Of that
devilish little tormentor Of the flesh, the
hypodermic syringe. Just bear I'm mind
that there is no such thing as a secret
cure" for drunkenness, and you are tax
ing a great risk in administering these
remedies.
