Proposal to Put Time Limit
on Collection Of Omit
ted Taxes
WOULD EXEMPT RYAN
MANY Others in State Directly Inter
estcd in Plan Soon to Be Before
the Legislature.

Richmond, Feb. "a proposal that
its originators and many prominent
ATTORNEYS claim will eliminate con-
stitutional objections has been made
for cxempting property owners from
payment of omitted taxes for the per-
iod prior to 1910 or any other year
that may be agreed upon.
While this proposal. if carried out,
will exempt Thomas +. Ryan, from
payment of Il large portion of the
5000 900 he now owes the state, It's
advocates declare That it also cN-
empts others and that an honorable
government has no right TO insist up
on its pound of flesh in the case Of
one man and not of the others.
The plan. in brief, is to declare by
statute that assessments OF more.
than certain number of years stand
ing must be presumed to be correct.
IN other words. although the state
constitution declares that the stat
ute Of limitations shall not he APP
piled to the collection of taxes, to
make the first assessment presump-
tive evidence of its correctness after
il has stood for IL number Of years
would debar the state from proving its
incorrectness by any method should
it elect TO sue for collection. with
such law on the statute books. how
ever, il IS declares, suit would not
even be brought.
The attorney, former member of
the General Assembly. who proposes
the incorporation of such clause III
the omitted tax bills prepared by Sena
tors West and Addison, admits that
if five years should be made the limit,
Mr.. Ryan. who has been rc-assesscd
back for - years. would not have to
pay on the new assessments prior to
1911. In other words. he would cS.
cape payment of considerably more
than half the $200,000 he now owes
the state in back taxes However. ne
declared. this could be rcmcdicd by
placing the limit at II years. "lf the
General Assembly does not wish TO
do this and collect from everyone he
said. lit can not consistently ask that
Mr.. Ryan pay. All should be treated
alike"

darkened. The airship appeared to
have no difficulty in dropping bombs
in the vicinity of the large buildings,
an a meeting house a mission for
women was proceeding. A woman
missionary was standing, Bible in
hand, addressing 200 women and girls
when bomb dropped within twenty

that it will be put on the calendar and
given every possible facility for pas
sage, and then it will 20 to the Gov

back to the Legislature. there will be
time enough for the amending of the

it will be made Il law before the Leg

was the intention to provide for the
commissioner and to have the Cover

to enact such measure as will carry
the views of the great ma jorlty of the
members of the Senate and House
"get the best bill! we can. as he said.
The ''ouster" bill presented Tuesday
may become law, but if it does il
will be after running the gauntlet of
