The New Tax Law

The following review of the
old and new tax laws. given by
City Attorney LaRoche of Port
land, should be carefully read by
every taxpayer, and the obnox-
ious features Of the new law care
fully noted. II may save ex-
penses by becoming familiar
with its provisions:
The laws of 1907 provided that
the taxes shall be paid on or be-
fore the first Monday in April.
If paid on or before March Is,
rebate of 3per cent was allowed.
Taxpayers were given the option
of paying one-half of their taxes
on or before the first Monday in
April, and upon such payment
the payment of the second half
was postponed until the first
Monday in October. and if paid
at that time no penalty or inter-
est was attached. II the first
half was not paid by the first
Monday in April. the whole tax
became delinquent and was sub
ject TO a 10 per cent penalty and
interest at the rate of IL per
cent per annum. If the first
half was paid on or before the
first Monday in April. but the
second half was not paid on or
before the first Monday in Oct
ober, such second half thereupOn
became delinquent. a ten per
cent penalty was imposed and
interest computed at twelve
per cent per annum from the
date of the payment of the first
installment.
The law of 1913 materially
changed this provision of the
law of 1907. Under the latter
law, taxes are payable before
April of each year. No rebate
is allowed at all. On April |
the taxes become delinquent.
A penalty of per cent a month
is charged on that portion of
taxes paid after April l and
paid before September /. The
law, however, permits of one
half of the taxes being paid
before April Il and the remain
ing one-half TO be paid prior to
September /. However, if adj
vantage is taken of this provi-
sion the penalties heretofore set
forth are computed on the sec
ond half of the taxes until il
is paid. The act further pro-
yides that all taxes remaining
unpaid on the first day of Septem-
ber shall become delinquent and
subject 10 "A penalty of ten per
cent and interest at the rate of
twelve per cent per annum from
the date on which they became
delinquent until their payment.
Under the old law, taxes were
payable on the first Monday in
April. Under the new law they
are payable on the first day of
April.
Under the old law the second
installment became due and
payable on the first Monday
in October. Under the new
law the second installment must
be paid prior TO the first day
of September.
Under the old law certificates
of delinquency bearing interest
at the rate of fifteen per cent per
annum were issued at the eX-
piration of six months after the
date of delinquency. Under the
new law such certificates of de-
linquency bearing the same rate
of interest shall be issued at the
expiration of one month after
the date of delinquency.
The provisions of the old law
with reference to the foreclosure
and sale of land for delinquent
taxes by the holder of the GER
tificate of delinquency have not
been altered. Under the new
law the County Treasurer is
made Tax Collector and the
Sheriff is constituted the col
loat,,. of lolsAC,,a,,f taNyag

LONDON MONEY
MARKET CHEERFUL
Big Centres of Speculation and
Investment Still Waiting on Paris
Bank Position Strong.
lRv Gable to The Tribune. J

London, Jan. 1S-The stock markets
were stronger last week than for some
time. Monday began with good tone
and. despite serious disquieting inilu-
cnces. sentiment remained optimistic
and the week ended buoyantly. one
of the strong arguments for optimism
was the remarkably good position OF
the Bank OF England, which added
Sf3.9 02 300 TO its gold stock, bringing
the total TO $3.50 454 $50. while the re-
serve increased SIG, 1G0.3l5, to Sl49,-
347. 73J. and many expected a reduc-
ton Of another half point in the bank
rate. and there probably VIII be one
before long, but. seeing that last
weeks additions were not from new
gold arriving in London. but from re-
turns Of coin and notes from the prov
inces. and considering the still unset
tied South African situation. the state
of French finance and the trouble IN
various parts Of the world, notably
Brazil. Mexico. China and Japan, the
hank was undoubtedly wise in not re-
ducing the rate.
The statement OF the French Minis
ter of Finance on Thursday of the
ministerial plans with regard 10
French finance proved a big help to
the markets by giving it an opportu-
nitv TO figure out for itself what TO eX-
pect. but it is yet TO be seen II the
present ministry can command the nee
essary majority to carry its pro-
gramme. and il il does not so carry IL
another period Of uncertainty VIII fol-
low while awaiting the plans OF the
new government.
Meanwhile, though money Is Decom-
ing constantly more plentiful, all the
big centres OF speculation and invest
ment are waiting on Paris, and moth
ing can be expected there until the
government policy is definitely settled.
The general feeling is that when
French capital moves New York VIII
follow Then, with the impetus of
these big centres. London and the other
markets will fall into line and a real
revival will be got under way.

Advisory Board Welcome.

The provision Of the proposed new
Jaw or series of laws which is 10 erect
a commission empowered 10 advise
corporation whether or not II is OPP
Grating in conformity with the anti
trust statutes does not cause much un-
easiness among the corporations, many
Of which in the last few years have
been inclined to wish that such tri-
bunal existed, from which they could
obtain a clear and authoritative ruling
as 10 the legality of their organization
and methods, instead Of having TO live
in constant apprehension Of the filing
of suit against them by the Depart
ment of Justice. A commission of this
kind might make unnecessary such
steps as the practical dissolution of the
Atlantic Coast Line system, just de-
cided upon although of course, it
would not avert the possibility of liti
cation if a corporation against which
il had decided should disagree with its
conclusions and determine to test its
position in the courts, as the American
Sugar Refining Company is about TO
do, after having failed TO reach an
agreement with the Attorney General.
There would appear to be no par
ticular objection among the men
charged with the management of great
corporations TO the expected law which
will prescribe fine or imprisonment for
corporation officer authorizing an
illegal act. There have been instances
in recent years Of prison sentences i'm
posed upon officers Of corporations for
such offences, but it is one thing TO
provide for Jail sentences for these in
fractions Of the law and another thing
10 find juries willing to bring in YER
diets which will operate TO put the
prison stigma upon men convicted in
cases of this class

Making Statute Definite.

The only feature of the expected new
legislation, indeed, which is regarded
with serious distrust and forebodng by
the business world is that affirming
that no restraint of trade is reason
able for the possibilities for bust
ness disturbance under a strained con-
struction Of such a statute, affecting
alike large and little concerns, are end
lessly wide.
Practically all OF the large national
banks Of this city have now made APP
plication for membership in the new
federal reserve system and the banks
throughout the country are sending in
their applications in large numbers, a
general participation being already as
sured. The personnel of the Federal
Reserve Board which is charged with
the management of the system and
upon the policy Of which will depend
its success or failure. has not yet been
announced, and acute interest is still
felt in the action TO be taken by the
Senate upon the nomination for Con-
troller Of the Currency, since it is the
general sentiment that confirmation OF

place on the Federal Reserve Board.
