DELINQUENT TAX PENALTY.

Collector Chas. T. Powell is in re-
ceipt of a letter from State Auditor
Gordon enclosing copy of commu-
nication from Ernest A. Green, Asst
Attorney General. We quote para
graph from Green's letter.
Section 11511 R. S. 1909 pro-
vides that the collector is entitled
to a fee of four percent on all delin-
quent taxes, the same to be taxed as
costs and collected from the party
redeeming.
"It is therefore our opinion, from
the statutes heretofore referred to
that the collector is entitled to
charge four percent on all current
taxes collected after January 1St, At
which time said taxes become delin'
quent, this four percent to be col
lected from the party paying the taz
and is allowed the collector for col
lecting current taxes"
The above makes good reading
But in our opinion the opinion" Of
the aforesaid Green is so ingeniously
worded as to puzzle and mystify il
not deceive the casual reader. The

weeks ago, and more than 1000 larger than
for the corresponding day last year.
As was pointed out Saturday, prices here
at the close of the week were quite little
higher than any other point. II was only
natural, therefore, that the market opened
slow here this morning, though advances
were being reported from other points. Ship
pers bought what hogs they needed fairly
early, paying prices that were strong to In
most cases nickel higher
The packers on the other hand, took their
time about getting started and with only
one or two exceptions their opening offers
we're no better than steady. Sellers, while
realizing that buyers claims that local val
ues were out of line were not unwarranted
tried hard to get more money. and while
II was close TO 10 o'clock before much OF
anything was done. packers eventually made
slight concessions in some cases. the market
opening steady to a nickel higher. The
trade was the usual spotted affair. and
while some sellers called the market flat
than steady After a trading basis was es-
tablished movement Hvened up, and It did
not take long TO clean up the bulk OF the
offerings.
Towards the close the market was slow,
and. II anything, weaker on lights, but
hogs OF desirable weight and quality sold
Just as well as at any time.
The general market was shade higher.
On paper values looked mostly a nickel
higher, but the fact that quality was quite
bit better than at the close Of last week
was responsible for part of the upturn. Bulk
sold at s9.40M9.60, with quite sprinkling
OF lights under that, and most desirable
grades scattered on up TO 1915. the top.
