Officials Kear Sev-
enui! Discussion.
The new intangible state tax law
is a fixture on the statute books, in
the opinion of Hury W. Scott, state
tax ominisior.er. who addressed the
county clerks annual state convention
Tuesday at the Castle hotel at Omaha.
The clerk met with the '-ouiity com
missioners, supervisors and registers
1 r deeds.
The new law which provide.-? a pen
alty for its violation l?ut how the
pena'ty clause will he enforced is t lie
ctuso oi much spculatici:--brought
an iiHTeaso. of $1.10. 000,000 in in
tangibles reported in 1 9 J tor tax
ation. Mr. Scott declared.
"However, there has been
some confusion in administering
the law,' the commissioner said.
"This is due, in part, to the un
certainty of the steps to be tak
en by officials against those who
fail to report their intangible
property. Thousands of persons
in the state undoubtedly have
evaded the law this year.
"Despite the situation if offi
cials do their duty public opin
ion soon will make the law easily
enforcible."
Method of Enforcement.
Meantime, it was pointed out, the
only way left to officials to prosecute
laggards is to act on a distress war
rant through the sheriff's office. This
would make it possible to levy on
intangible property of the violator to
collect the amount of his intangible
taxes.
"Hut." said Mr. Scott, "if the
violator does not have any tang
ible assets it's just like getting
blood out of a turnip."
Mr. Scott revealed he has only two
investigators in his office assigned to
uncover the "intangible dodgers."
TIeeause of his limited staff, he said,
it would be impossible to watch eva
sions in all sections of the state.
Add 10 Million Here.
"These two investigators."
said Mr. Scott, "have been kept
busy in Omaha and Lincoln. In
Omaha $10,000,000 has been ad
ded to the intangible tax rolls
as the result of their activities
while $1,000,000 has been added
in Lincoln."
V. F. Farker, president of the
commissioners, supervisors and high
way commissioners presided at the
joint session formally opening the
convention at 1:30 p. m. Mayor
Dahlman was unable to appear to de
liver the welcoming address. His
place was taken by Thomas O'Hrien,
city prosecutor.
Following the joint meeting the
commissioners opened their session
to informal discussions of the prob
lems of handling county business.
Grove and verv
largely attended. The services v:v
conducted by the Rev. A. Lentz. pas
tor of the church, who in his message
of hope and comfort to the family
and friend-; took as his text. "I Will
Roth Lay Me Down in l'ejo- and
Kleen, and Thou Lord. Only Maketh
.Me to Dwell in Safety." During the
services the e'ioir of thf church with
Mrs. A. Lentz at the organ gave thre.;
numbers, "Abide With Me." "Ash-n
in Jcmis" and "L'ntil We Mt et
