This great state can i'll afford to play the role
of the usurer.
Yet, that is exactly its position with regard to
delinquent tax rates. 1t demands 10 per cent in
terest on overdue payments.
The outrageousness of such rate is at once evil
dent when taken in connection with the fact that
the legal rate of interest in private transactions
cannot exceed II per cent.
The fair interest rate-the usual one in ordin-
airy transactions-is 7 or per cent, and that is
all the state should demand.
1t is usually the small home owner or the
struggling business man, who has the hardest
time to meet his taxes The moneyed man and
the big corporations have no such trouble. The
10 per cent delinquent tax penalty, therefore,
falls on those least able to pay it.
The usurious rate should be abolished. A bill
to that effect is being drafted. The legislature
should be quick to pass it.
