HAVE YOU PAID YOUR
1918 TAXES?.

I desire to call your attention TO the
fact that the last half OF the 1918
taxes is now due and must be paid not
later than July 8, 1914.
Although It is plainly stated on the
notices sent out in December. that a
penalty of four per cent would be at
tached to the last half. II only one
half was paid, 1 find that my mail is
full of checks for the last half only, the
penalty being omitted. Or II any at
-tention at all is paid to the four per
cent It is regarded as four per cent
interest, and not penalty. and there is
a vast difference. Simply multiply by
four and point off four places to ascer-
tain the penalty.
II you did not pay your first half, you
must add 10 per cent for the penalty,
and then figure IS per cent interest since
Jan IL, 1914, as the new law required
the tax collector TO sell the delinquent
tax certificates to the auditor the Sec
ond Monday in January. and he sells
them to individuals as they care to
purchase them. THERE'S no delinquent
list advertised, nor In there q public
