DELINQUENT TAX.
MORATORIUM IS.
AGAIN IN FORCE.
Penalty and Interest Dropped
Until Dec. l, 1888, by
Legislature

With the legislature again calling
a halt on penalty and interest on de-
linquent taxes, farmers and other
taxpayers of the county this week
considered plans whereby delin-
quent property could again be re-
deemed at considerable savings be-
fore the expiration of the emergency
act.
The emergency measure will be
in force until Dec. /, 1888 and per-
sons having an equitable or legal
interest in real estate sold for taxes
TO any county or which has been
struck off to the county. and no as
signment of the certificates of such
sale has been made by the county
commissioners or on which taxes are
delinquent for the first installment
of the year 1886 shall be permitted
to redeem the property by paying
the original tax due without penalty
and interest.
Dec. 1, 1898, Is Deadline
If the redemption is not made on
or before the first day of December.
1888. the redemption a only be
made by payment of the original tax
with accrued interest, penalties and
costs as provided by law. The act
does not apply to the purchase of
any certificate of sale made prior to
the passage and approval of the act.
The penalty and interest morator-
ium declared by the legislature of
two years ago made it possible for
hundreds of taxpayers to redeem
and pay delinquent taxes at great
savings. 1t resulted in increased tax
and many counties were put
sound financial basis by the act.
Personal Law Construed
In constituting a law just passed
by the legislature, which permits
taxpayers whose personal property
taxes became delinquent before Dec.
1, 1886, to redeem their property
by. merely paying the original tax
and no penalty or interest up to
Dec. L, 1888, Attorney General Har-
rison j. Freebourn, in an opinion
issued to County Attorney Gordon
C. Berg of Ekalaka. held that the
law applies to personal property tax
es when they are a lien on realty.
Court Renders Opinion
After citing and quoting the law,
the opinion said: 1.-THE intention of
the legislature must be obtained
primarily from the language used in
the statute. Courts must impair
and without bias, review the
written words of the act. Where the
language of a statute is plain and
unambiguous, there is no occasion
for construction. Section l applies
10 any personal property that is,
all personal property. If the legis-
Iature intended it to apply only to
PERSONAL property taxes where there
was no real property upon which
he taxes would also be a lien, they

from which such intention could be
Since the words of the
act are plain and unambiguous, they

we are unable to say that the act

srty taxes where there is no real
estate upon which such taxes are
a lien. Where there is real es-
