Intangible Law Discussed.
Discussing the new intangible law,
Collector Prince says:
ing to add q million dollars per annum
revenue to the District, but it is also
going to increase the number OF per-
sonal tax accounts to such an extent
that the bailifrs force must of neces-
sity be increased. and am very much
of the opinion it is going to call for
Liquidation whereby personal tax &C
counts may be collected by making
seizure for unpaid personal taxes upon
judgments, the procedure being to sue
delinquents in the lower court, seize
the property on writ of execution, sell
or hold the same in allegiance pending
the discovery of the ability of the
owner to pay. If law is practical 1t
must have some visible semblance OF
authority The present law simply
says that the collector of taxes shall
distrain sufficient goods and chat
tells. etc. prescribing no method as
to procedure other than the uncere-
monious taking possession, which at
least can be said to lack dignity and
does not serve the purpose of notice
to delinQSents that legal prelfminaries
would. and often seems unauthor-
lied"

publishers of weekly newspa-
pers must arrange for a rediIc-
ton OF Is per cent in their circu-
atioh beginning with Sept. Is.
IN order to meet the reouire,
ments of the war industries
board. TIL method OF makin~
such reductions will be largeIv
left to each publisher, who will
work out the details of the prob
EN- for his own paper. The fol-
lowing methods have been sup-
,gested:
An increase in the subscrip-
ton price of the paper, especially
where the price is less than 81
a year.
The discontinuance of all sub
crlptions that are not. renewed
and paid in advance at the time
the subscriptions expire.
The elimination of all free

pers will be supplied by the war
Industries board with blanks for
the purpose of reporting the

made by the publishers will be in
the form OF sworn affidavits and
each month for the next IL they
will be required TO make n sworn

year.
/ Publishers who have stock on
hand will not be allowed to use
1t in larger ratio than thos who
must buy from month to month.
