TREASURER APPEALS tt
THE TAXPAYERS.

in regard to delinquent personal
taxes and unpaid seed liens. that
no doubt. 10 many o: YOU ap-
pezred exaggerated I have since
verified these figures and hnd
them very conservative. | well
know that conditions were not
favorable ior the paying of taxes
at that time. your crops were not
matured, and you could not do
so. | wanted to put YOU 10 think
ing and planning how to meet
these in the near future.
Now YOU have your crops ma
tured and mostly cared for, many
OF YOU have responded with your
taxes, many more will do so
within the next few days. You
still have this month OF October
(under the new law and we urge
you again to make the best Of
your opportunity. In few days
We must begin preparing the list
for the tax sale for publication in
November. This is mandatory.
In the first days of November, /
must also have list of all unpaid
personal taxes made up and
placed iii the hands OF the Sheriff
for collection, this is also manda-
tory. | have no option in either
case, do not want to put your
name on this list; please do not
compel me to do SO. The 1915
legislature enacted a law relating
to the collection Of personal taxes,
more stringent than any previous
one, and dare not make myself
liable by ignoring its provisions !;
neither myself nor the Sheriff
wish to cause you any annoyance,
but we must do our duty.
All the delinquent taxes draw
I2 per cent interest. II you have
not got the cash, can you not bor-
row it, and clean up your obliga-
tion to the county? That is
what am doing.
The general public have lite
conception Of the work in this
Office. 1t is fact, which ! can
demonstrate in FIVE minutes to
any reasonable man, that every
tax advertised or sold, costs the
county at least one and one half
times more to clear up than the
original expense Of a straight
write up, besides the extra cost
to the owner of the property, and
| am putting it mild at that.
So many people in making in
quiries, ask, What are my taxes
in Perkins County," Or Il en-
close money to pay my tax in Per-
kins County and many other
like expressions. Some forget TO
sign their name. Others give de
scription wrong, some do not add
enough penalty.
Now we have 10000 dcscrip-
tions on our books, and while all
these people mean we'll, we can.
not remember their descriptions
They may have property in two
or more townships, we do not
know, il may not be IN their
names. Much OF the delay In
answering inquiries Is caused for
this reason.
Please always state section,
township, range and whether real
or personal OF both, and II will
save much loss Of time To all con
ccrncd. | do not write this IN
any complaining mood. ! am Of
a cheerful disposition. ! am only
your hired servant, willing 10
work long hours .p earn my sal
ary and try to better conditions.
We arc making progress but
much remains to he done. you
can help little. WIN you no,
