/ Every filing fee of SO is sufficient
to give nine days schooling to one
child. This tax is the only direct tax
that the small wage Garner of Della
ware is called upon to pay. Delin-
quent filing fees are now a debt to
the state, cOllectable just as a bill
for groceries or for rent is collec-
tabe, but with heavy penalties to
those who wilfully refuse to pay.
The School Tax Commissioner be-
lieves that a general misunderstand-
ing of the law has caused the great
number of delinquents; therefore
notices, advertisements and expla-
nations are being sent out, and the
department is prepared to answer
all questions. 1t is the duty of ev-
cry citizen or resident of Delaware
to learn what is required from tax
payers.
The School Tax Department now
asks from delinquents the amount
originally due with interest at rate
of 6 per cent only. The law requires
the commissioner to bring suit
against willful delinQuents, but there
is no demand for hasty or harsh ac-
tion. 1t may be that even more time
or more information is needed by
some persons. By signing, with full
name and address and by mailing
the enclosed post card, the depart
ment will be assured of a desire 10
cooperate and the sender will be Sc
cure against immediate action.
Those who are delinquent and dis
regard this letter may be sued for
Milford chronicle., 1925-12-04

recovery of the amount due from
them without further notice.
A judgment against a delinquent
may result in an attachment on
wages, salary or property; and, at
the discretion of the court, in fine
of not more than $500 or imprison-
ment not to exceed six months; but
those who wish to know the law and
to pay the taxes due from them need
have no fear of these extreme penal
ties.

State School Tax Commissioner.

yelled to a lady whom he saw COM
ing down the street to be careful
that a wire was lying on the pave
ment. About the same time he STEP
ped on part of the wire which he

JUDGE RICHARDS of Suss
County in dissenting from the Sc
tence of the negro at Frederick to
life tSEm in the workhouse, desc !
yes all Hal of the people for whoFr
he ser in their Courts. ~ .the
death penalty is to be enfSt teed fol
rape. then the brute who Was found
guilty at Dover, should have paid
the penalty with his life. No more
inhuman crime has been committed
in Kent County for many years, and
how any jury could return a ver-
dict of guilty and at the same time
ask the mercy of the Judges, is be-
yond comprehension.
Se@
CONGRESS will convene on Dec
ember 7th. 1t will then Immediate
ly take up the consideration of the
tax bill, and also the National Re-
serve Banking bill, according to
plans of leaders of both parties.
Over one thousand bills have so
far been prepared by different men,
bers of the House Over five hun
dred have already been listed with
the bill clerk, and it is more than
probable that between December 7,
and the first day of January, 1926,
that at least fifteen hundred bills
will have been introduced. With
the exception of some of the more
measures and pension
bills, a vast majority of the number
prepared will never become laws.

Bills for final installment of fed
eral income tax due not later than
December Is, 1925 were mailed to-
day, according to statement of U.
S. Collector of Internal Revenue
John w. Herring,
AT the same time, it was pointed
out that failure to receive a notice
does not relieve the taxpayer of his
liability to the payment within the
time specified by law. Such fail
ure to receive bills should be
promptly reported to the income
tax division of the Internal Rev.
enue Office, in order that bills may
be Immediately prepared for the
convenience of the taxable.
Collector Herring has suggested
that payments submitted through
the mail take the form of check or
money order payable to Collector
of Internal Revenue, Wilmington,
Delaware. Cash remittances by
mail are, of course, made at the sen
der's risk and it was suggested
that when cash payment is made,
same be done at the Cashiers Of
flee, Third Floor of the Post Office
Building, Ninth and Shipley SITS.
WOrkmen whose time is occupied
during the hours of the day when
the office is open, are informed that
the office will remain open the even
ing of Tuesday, December Is, 1925
to receive payments. 1t is thought
this action by the Collector will
avoid loss of time and pay to this
group of federal income taxpayers.
In commenting upon the condi-
tion OF payments of the 1924 tax,
Collector Herring pointed out that
his lists have been cleared current
ly of many who failed to pay the
installment payments on time
Immediately after the posting of
the final payment, it is required by
law that warrants issued for the
collection of those remaining de-
linquent in the payment. To the
amount unpaid must be added the
penalty-interest for failure to pay
on time.
The results in the local collec-
tiOn district in the matter of pay
ments are believed to be, however,
very gratifying and indicate few
delinquents
An important change in the ad-
of the federal income .

ing employees to the Government :

of Internal Revenue John w. Her. :
