PAY TAXES BEFORE DECEMBER 20

County treasurers all over the state
violated the law last year by allow
ing rebates on taxes paid after the
10th Of December and by failing to
add the statutory penalty when tax
Is were not paid on OF before January
1. The law requires that rebate be
allowed when taxes are paid before
December 20 but provides for a cor
responding penalty when the taxes an
not paid before the first of january.
According to information that has
come to stae officials it has been a
ongStanding cusom to allow the re-
bates and not collect the penalties as
provided by law. It is said that the
practice has been forced upon the
county treasuTers largely because OF
fhe inability of the clerical force in
rheir offices TO handle the usual rush
during the last few days proceeding
December 20, the last day Of the re
bate period.
AS a matter Of fact the boards of
county commissioners and the treas
urerS in counties where the practice
is followed may be held liable ON
their official bonds for such sums as
might be due the county on account
m such illegal rebates.
There are several reasons why ne
practice should not be continued, &C.
cording to officials.
One is that it is unwarranted and
illegal discrimination.
Another is that It is contrary to
he provisions Of he general stat.
uteS Of 1909.
Another is because neither the
board OF county commissioners mol
che county treasurer has any right to
change or modify a plain provision
Of the statutes.
It isn't certain hat anc
state department Is sufficiently in.
teUeEted 70 bring any actions but
there Is a chance. Anyway one de-
partment Is watching the matter. One
official has called attention to the
tact that the legislature makes the
laws and not the county treasurer or
any other administrative officer.
