Last week we referred lothe law,
assessing a purchaser's interest in
lands exempt from taxation. This
is done under Sec. 3G, of the Stat
utes of 1877, which refers to school
lands. The purchaBor is taxed for
his interest in the land and improve
ments. By construction it applies
it applies to unpatented railroad
landB purchased under contract. The
interest in such land is listed as per
sonal property. If there is any
seuso in the distinction between real
and personal property, Hub provis
ion of the Nebraska statutes is non
sense. Unless a man has improve
ments on the land, or other property,
such tax cannot be collected. A
non-resident purchaser of such land,
will be practically exempt from tax
ation, while the resident farmer,
who is developing the country, pays
the tax because he has personal
property to which the tax attaches.
But however unjust this may bo it is
law. Kearney Em.
