' If you fellows are fotnf to Indulge In such loose talk. I want you to meet in Lincoln next year; I don't want you to coma back here. . -Now, m tell you what Tin gains to do about personal taxes. We v five col lectors, and I'm going to send those collectors out to talk to the delinquent! In a gentlemanly way. The collector must bring me either the money or some sort of a statement from the individual. I'll have these collectors work. a couple of weeks, and then I'll take hold of the matter myself. l'U serve notice on the delinquent that unless he pays his taxes by a certain dsy, I will Issue a distress warrant on that day. And I positively will Issue the warrant on that day and send the sheriff to grab whatever he can get his hands on." 'The reporters misconstrued what I said . yesterday." said Mr. Langford. "When I said "bluff I referred only to cases where the delinquent has got out af the state." "Oh. well. If that's the ease." rejoined Mr. Urn, Til take back part of what I eald and will Invite you to meet In Oman again. " ' Taaea Arc Certain. President Hevelooe here assured the newspaper men that "there Is nothing surer tn earth than the collection ot taxes." R. B. Hlrschman of Cedar county wanted a press committee appointed to seek to remedy the mischief caused by the publication of yesterday's delibera tions, but the convention decided this was unnecessary. Mr. Hlrschman was satisfied, however, when the reporters present promised him to publish Mr. Langford's explanation. . - "The Commlssloner'a Viewpoint," was Mr. Urn's set subject. The county mort gages the future by tardy assessment, levy and collection of taxes, he said, with the result that the county la al ways hard up, the business of one ad ministration runs over into the next and the county commissioner is the object of 'kicks" from one end ot the county to the other. Mr. Lre said tha assess ment should be made In September pre ceding tha January In which the per sonnel of the county board changes; the county equalisation board should meet In November; the estate equalisation board In Iiecember: the levy should be made In January and taxes should be paid In April and May. It Is up to the treasurers, he said, to go before the leg islature sad get a law paired making such prevision. Phillip A.
