CLEAN UP OLD TAXES
Bill to Be introduced to Provide for
Collection
LINCOLN Neb Investigations are
now being systematically pursued to
ward securing the enactment of a
measure thai will enable the state and
counties to wipe out all taxes that
have been delinquent for a specified
term of years and thus enable the
state to meet at least in part its out
standing indebtedness It is stated at
the office of the state auditor that
there are probably 4000000 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 states revenues is en
acted than has ever yet been provided
At the same time the state has an
outstanding indebtedness of about 1
250000 which seems in no tair 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 8000000 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 pay the taxes thus rendering such
properties of no service to the state
in raising its necessary annual reve
nues
