Jasper County Democrat, Volume 4, Number 30, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 November 1901 — THE TAX FERRETS. [ARTICLE]

THE TAX FERRETS.

Complete Resume of Their Work to Date, As Shown By the Omitted Tax Duplicate. J he Democrat is the only paper published in Jasper county that has given its renders any information regarding the movements ot the tax-ferrets who for several months have been investigating the tax payers of this county. We have published each week the agpiount of taxes “discovered’’ and placed on the duplicate prepared for that purpose, with the name of the party or parties against whom the tax was placed. We have not done this for the purpose of holding these people up to public scorn, for in most cases they are not intentional or professional tax dodgers those are yet to be heard Irom but as a matter of news which the peopleof the county who are paying for this investigation are entitled to.

As a further matter of news we herewith republish a complete list of names and every dollar placed on this duplicate up to Oct. -9, 1901, together with the sums I paid and those remaining unpaid. It will be seen that in a few instances a part has been paid only. Except in the case of John L. Turner (Jordan tp.Jand J. W. Paxton <fr Co., (Rensselaer) the unpaid portion represents property which is alleged to have been“discovered” after the party had paid all that was first placed on the duplicate against them. This is the case with Geo. A. Chappell (administrator), Orpha Timmons, Rebecca A. Timmons, and Florence London, all of Remington. The sums first charged against them were paid in full, but within the past few weeks other alleged omitted property was discovered and has been placed on the duplicate against them, as explained above. Ihe sums herewith published represent the amount in taxes, not the amount of the assessment, understand, but the actual sum in dollars and cents paid or still due from the parties as qhown by this “omitted tax duplicate.” You have in this list a complete record of every case thus far adjusted and placed on the tax duplicate:
