TAX FERRET is
DEAD AS DODO
NOW, is CLAIM
Time Was When He Did
Very Well, but Law
Changes Things.
nv rapr rtxopp.u>r
BY CARL THORBAHN

Progress has exterminated, at
least in Marion County, a disagree
able form of the ferret, John j.
Broden, county intangibles tax ap-
praiser, said today.
Unfortunate citizens who failed 70
list their intangibles on the tax
duplicate before 1888 we're fugitives
from the tax ferrets.
The tax ferrets were gentlemen
Who lined their pockets rather well
from percentages of collections Of
eyaded intangible taxes.
Rate Reduced DrasticaIly
Before 1888, when the new in
tangibles tax law went into effect,
this form of property was listed on
the regular tax form and taxed at
the same rate as household goods,
personal property and real estate.
This rate was $3.50 last year in
Center Township, and is $273 this
year.
IntangiblNs are composed of
stocks, bonds and commercial pa
pers.
Under the 1888 law, the intangi-
BILE tax rate was established at 25
cents 500 of valuation. This is
about Lii of the former rate.
Practice Proved Profitable
Tax ferrets received one-half of
oil foxoc oYI ,,ooou af than IN
sequestered property finally brought
to light became somewhat wealthy
out of the proceeds.
Mr.. Broden said that only about
a per cent Of the taxpayers listed
their intangibles on the duplicates
before the new law.
Due to low rates and co-opera-
tion Of financial institutions, in
tangibles taxes are rarely evaded
now, Mr.. Broden said.
Evasions are discovered when
safe deposit boxes are opened by
the administrator of an estate un-
der the supervision of the inherit
ance tax appraiser.
Schools Share Receipts
Intangible tax collections have
increased every year since 1888
with $205,000 collected last year in
the county. This is an increase of
$4,000 over 1884, Mr.. Broden said
The figures are exclusive of taxes
paid by banks, brokerage firms and
several large businesses which deal
in commercial paper directory with
the state and their records are not
entered on county books.
The tax is collected through sale
of Intangible stamps, and 90 per
cent of the funds realized are re-
turned to the county school fund
The remaining 10 per cent goes to
the state general fund

N HIGH COURAGE II

see the little woman led reluctantly
to the door.
Anne lay staring at the wall. John
had gone away. He hadn't waited TO
see how her trial had come out. On,
he had been loyal, standing by her
during her illness, but the moment she
was past the danger line he had gone
on with his life, forgetting her.
Suddenly a sharp pain caught at
her heart.
John thought she was guilty.
John, who knew everything from the
way the Lee Farnsworths had treated
her to the very details of the will,
thought she had sought revenge in
this way. ..s
Did Tecla and Lisa think this, too?
Even Orvi and George couldn't be
sure; they weren't outside with her,
in the boat. They didn't know wheth-
er or not she had carried a gun.
Dusk swept into the room; through
the opened window came the far
rumble of traffic in the street below,
the dank. sweet odor of river willows,
the salty tang of the sea. The window
was an oblong of blue, in which hung
a single star.
Gaze concentrated on that star,
Anne reached the lowest point of her
life. There was nothing left. nothing
but the courage which sprang from
| belief in herself.
Days passed, each one fraught with
fresh worries. There was the lawyer
her Finnish friends had retained, but
she knew. she could not depend upon
him, because he didn't believe her.
Judge Kellogg's partner wrote that
her $100 allowance was being held up

"Yes, you call for him."
A faint flush tinted the pallor Of
Anne's cheeks. Had he come unwill-

away?

nnurmured and thought, that presence
felt must have been John. What

en-. Character had meant nothing
to her, because she had thought it
possessed by every one. This man she
wss seeing was q stranger; q stranger
with cruel lines about his mouth, hard
lines about his eyes.
A rare smile crossed her face. To
think she had hesitated over marrying
John, for fear her love Of him might
change like her love for Rob had
changed. She felt suddenly free. con-
fident. John, surely he would be there
some place. She believed in him, In
his love for her.
Two days passed before the Jury
was chosen, and on the third day the
trial began.
The district attorney, close friend
Of the man who had been killed, pre-
sented his case. The defendent, known
as Nikh Nielsen, had been reared tc
believe she was the daughter Of Luke
Farnsworth. and 1t was only after
the accidental death Of her foster par
ents that she had learned she was not
their child.
The fortune she had believed hers,
he continued, was to be turned over to
an estate to be divided among the
Farnsworth kin.
The girl had refused to live with
the Lee Farnsworths. She had de-
nounced them bitterly, then rushed
away to hide.

pending her trial. There seemed to
be some law which excused the pay
ment Of such money to persons found
guilty Of q felony, and they were
waiting for the verdict. II only Judge
Kellogg were within travelling dis
tance.
Discharged from the hospital, Anne
left the friendly care Of the nurse
and the hospital for the Jail. The first
night she couldn't sleep because Of
the clang Of the iron door, the turn
ing of the key in the lock, the sitting
realization OF bars, iron bars holding
her away from the world she loved.
And then the morning Of her trial,
sunshot, high-piled clouds edging the
horizon. sea gulls wheeling low over
blue waters. Anne took fresh heart
from the view. She dressed with care
in plain blue suit. She had to do
nothing with her hair but comb 1t
shoulder length, Garbo style.
And then the court room. She
heard subdued Finnish greetings,
words of cheer, as she entered the
crowded room. Her heart caught as
she saw Charlotte and Sharlee Farms
worth seated by the district attorney,
and Farley as special prosecutor. And
then, just as she started to sit down,
she met the gaze Of Rob Crocker.
She felt her gaze lock with his.
There was stony disregard for her in
the dark eyes which once had laughed
with her; tense lines about the lips
which had told her so often Of his
love for her.
She didn't know she was staring at
him In frank amazement. Was this
the man she had loved? This the
man she had almost defied Luke and
Lucinda to marry? Had she really
ever seen him before?
Lenholm, her attorney, plucked at
her sleeve and she sat down. No, she
decided, she hadn't seen him before.
She had been a child, delighted with
the attentions Of a handsome man
