ERS PROCEDURE IN TAX
DE1INQUENCES.

II one other member OF the county
court agrees with County Judge j.
w Maloney, the penalties collected
by the county on the last half OF the
1914 taxes, due not later than August
81. will be rebated While the law
Is quite plain relative to the imposing
of penalties. the fact that injunctions
have been granted in several coun-
ties against such collection leaves 1t
up 10 the county courts TO give the
taxpayers OF their counties the same
privilege. according TO the ciew OF
the state tax commission, and Judge
Maloney favors action to that end.
The law passed by the legislature
provided for a one per cent per
month penalty on taxes paid after
April in the event that a half-pay-
ment was made prior to that date.
Judge Cleeton OF Multnomah county
held this TO be unconstitutional and
granted an injunction whereby the
property holders in his jurisdiction
could pay the last half OF their tax
es BY September ! without penalty.
Writing TO Judge Maloney, Secretary
C V. Galloway OF the tax commission
declares he does not believe it right
that the people of some counties en-
JOY immunities not granted TO those
of other counties and he suggests that
the country ourts abate the penalties.
Inasmuh as but few days remain
until taxes become delinquent and
as many have already paid the pen
alties. the county treasurer suggests
that the court defer action until aft
er September / and then rebate the
taxpayers in the amount of the penal
ties paid Sine the next meeting OF
the county court will not be held un-
I'll after September this is the
course which will probably be pur-
sued.
In making up their budget for the
year. the members of the court die
not figure in monies from penalte:
and Judge Maloney declares this ex
ira revenue is not needed he thinks
taxes were high enough without col
| lecting any penalties.
