cent should be dropped with the coun-
ties to refund the penalty where such
made mad prior TO- to June i. The interest on
the delinquent tax list of 1920 amount
ing to- one per cent a month still ap-.
amounts to nine per cent. Some peo-
pie had an erroneous impression thar
the legislature eliminated all three

be republished in this county in Sep

compile the list and has decided that
anyone paying the delinquent taxes
up to Friday, September 8, will have
| their names taken from the list. and
! thereby save the additional publica-
| tion charges, which will be just dcubl e
that of last year. In the 1920 delin-
quent list there are 149 real 'estate
properties.
| The opinion Of Attorney General W.
y. Rankin was in answer to the in.
quiry of f. f. Collins. county attorney
of Yell ellowstone county. Mr.. Collins SUBJ
mitted the following inquiries:
| y. VIII all unpaid 1920 taxes have
| to be re-advertised. and If SC, would
| it be necessary to advertise in full as
| before or would it be sufficient to
publish a blanket advertisement stat
ing that taxes as per list formerly ad
quent and If not paid will go to the
tax sale October 1st?
October ist be Computed upon the
original amount of the tax due or
| upon the amount CT taxes due on Oc-
of one per. cent per month after No,

| Mr.. Rankin says that the laws of
| 1921 provide that "All existing laws
of the state relative tC' the place and
manner of sale of property for de-
linquent taxes shall apply to and cover
Tsaid tax sales made on said date and
that this language used in conjunction
| with the fact that any previous publ
! catiOn would include properties upon
F.! which the taxes have since been paiu
and would therefore be erroneous and
| for this reason he is led to the cOn-
clusion that a new publication of de.
linquent taxes is required and that 9
blanket advertisement is not suffi.
cient
Mr.. Rankin says the penalty applies
to the amount originally delinquent.

Mr.. Thomas said that his Ford car

25 cents a gallcn at Belle Fourche.
Throughout eastern Nebraska there
Is quite a cattle feeding industry. The
farmers there buy many western cattle
and after feeding them all winter sell
them as cOrn-feds in the spring and
usually make good profits by increas-
ing the weight. Most Of the corn-fed
cattle have now been marketed and
the ranchers are starting to buy up
cattle new from the South Omaha mar
kets for the winter feeding. The com
mission men make Il profit by the sale
Of these stuff and then come in for
another nice commission for unloading
the stock to the ranchers engaged in
feeding.
Mr.. Thomas said there were bumper
crops in eastern Nebraska this year
but the tightness of money is as notice.
able as in this country.

m The min tax levy of this county was
calculated upon an estimated taxable
PROPERTY valuation Of $3,30o,o00, rep
resenting one-third of the true and
full valuation. Should every dollar Of
! taxation be raised this year, there
would be a tax income for county
government of $115,5OO and $25,96 as
this ccunty's proportion toward the
states leVIes, or a grand total of
| $l4l, 46l to be turned in for general
taxation from this county.
The estimated valuation of taxable
| property in this county was $3,3OO,OOO
and as this figure represents one-third
OF the true and full valuation, the lat
ter figure would be represented at
$9, 100000. The valuation of property
taken from the original tax rolls CT
| the county assessor for the present
year was $10,702,631. With new
true and full valuation of $4,000, 900,
1t shows that the beard Of equaliza-
| tion reduced the property values to
an amount of approximately $SO2,631 Cr
reduction in the taxable valuation Of
| y2b7,544. The property valuation in
1920 was $9,s5S,054 but the estimate
on which the tax levy was based last
year was $3,0l5,O0O. With all the re-
ductions in valuation allowed this year
| there is an increase of $41,956 in the
| full and true valuation.
