proposed by Assemblyman j. B..
French, Superior, who believes that
taxes should be paid in January and
July of each year. Following the holt.
day season taxes come as an unusual
| blow upon people and Assemblyman.
French believes that if the tax-pay-
ing period could be divided there would
be greater satisfaction.

plications. Three successive sessions
of The legislature have attempted TO
work out this plan, but it has entailed
such revision of the tax laws in Wis

out, however, that such a plan has
worked out successfully in the state of
| Minnesota.

rerloo takes.
He proposes 10 introduce a bill
aimed at non-taxpayers and delin-
| quents who would be able to vote

payers of the locality under present
