Bill to Be Introduced to Provide for * i Collection. t LINCOLN, Neb —Investigations are * now being systematically pursued to- 1 ward securing the enactment of a < measure that will enable the state and 1 counties to wipe out all taxes that ' have been delinquent for a specified 1 term of years, and thus enatde the I state to meet at least in part its out- ' standing indebtedness. It is stated at the office of the state aOditor that there are probably $4,000,000 due the state, much of which has been stand ing on the books for years and some , of which will probably never be paid : unless some measures more potent for collection of the state’s revenues is en acted than has ever yet been provided. At the same time the state has an outstanding indebtedness of about $1. 250,000, which seems in no fair way to be paid unless a method is invented by which the state may realize upon the old taxes due it. Estimates that have been prepared show that there Is now due the state and its various counties in delinquent taxes something like $8,000,000. Taxes have in many instances been allowed to accomulate until it. is often impossible to find any one willing to take the land and agree to psy the taxes, thus rendering such properties of no service to the state in raming Its necessary annual reve Tiues.

Latest Quotations from South Omaha and Kansas City. SOfTH OMAHA. CATTI.X5—There were only u few bunch es of cornfeil steers on sale anil packers took hold more freely than they have of late, and the market could safely be quoted steady to strong. There was noth ing in the yards that showed much qual ity. so that a test of the market on that class of cornfeds wr ; not made. The cow trade was ulso active and strong, fanners continued to sell to good advan tage, and sales were made all the way from strong to a dime higher. Grass cows of good quality were also In good demand at strong to a dime higher prices. Hulls, veal calves and stags sold freely at fully steady prices. The extremely low prices at which stockcrs and feeders were offered on Wednesday enabled speculators to clean up the big bulk of the stock. As a result there was quite a demand for fresh supplies, and as receipts were lim ited the market ruled active nnd a little stronger for anything tit all desirable. Common cattle did not show any im provement. There were very few western beef steers on sale, but the murket could safely be quoted fully steady. Range cows were in active demand and the mar ket was strong to a dime higher! Range Stockers and feeders also sold freely at stronger prices where the quality was satisfactory. • HOGS—There was rather a light run of hogs and the market improved a little. Trading started out on a basis of about lV4c advance and sales were made all the way from strong to a nickel higher. The bulk of the sales went from $6.00 to $6.05.
