Delinquent Taxes Being Received Under New Act First Payments, Shorn Of Penalties, Accepted Today EDWARDSVILLE, July of delinquent taxes under the new law exempting them from penalties during the years 1929-33 if paid by 1936 was begun in the county treasurer's office today.

Two delinquent taxpayers took advantage of the new statute this morning, and became the first to do so in Madison county, though St. Glair's county collector had been receiving delinquent taxes since July 1 under the new provision. The delay here in making the new statute effective was caused by failure to receive official instructions from Springfield regarding details of receiving the old taxes. Several requests about the new law had been received by the county treasurer's office during the Intervening period. While still without official notice from Springfield, the treasurer began receiving the back taxes and allowing the exemptions today upon advice from State's Attorney Geers, who had obtained a copy of trie new bill from the Legislative Reference Bill at Springfield.

Under the procedure outlined, the delinquent taxpayer must obtain an order from the county clerk to be presented to the county treasurer with a payment representing the, principal of tho taxes delinquent. The new law provides that the taxpayer must have all his taxes paid up to 1929. Agreeing with the attorney general of Illinois that the new Jaw wan unconstitutional, State's Attorney Geers nevertheless pointed out Wednesday that payments made under It would be valid until the act was declared unconstitutional.

Motor Cars, Fuel Yieid 38 Percent of Total In CHICAGO, July fl, dozen varieties of taxes, spread over rich and poor, corporations and tie fellows," gamblers and misers, supply revenue to the nation's state governments. With all the different kinds oi taxes, however, there are few state "frek" or nouolosance levies, reports from 44 states showed today. Taxes as a whole fall into a handful of general categories, property, automobiles and gasoline, sales, liquor, Inheritances, incomes; luxuries, and business transactions.

But the diversification In types 'of taxes are many, with adjoining states frequently taxing the same thing in different manners. The property tax, one of the oldest form -of assessment, is still widely used, although a trend away from It Is seen in attempts to find replacements. Levies on Luxuries Since its advent, the automobile has become a steadily increasing source of state revenue, first came property taxes on cars, then.regis- tration charges, and during the lost 15 years, the mightiest of all vehicle levies, the gasoline tax. Prom an experiment In 1B19, the fuel levy has grown until today it is used in every state and supplies an estimated 38 per cent of the states' direct tax revenue. Resembling the gas tax In its growth to popularity, the sales tax is used In many states.

Forms of this levy vary greatly. The principal ones are the gross sales tax, paid by the retailer, and the retail sales tax, commonly passed on to the consumer. Numerous governments collect special taxes on cigarets and tobacco, butter substitutes, malt extract and other specific articles. Liquor New Field Liquor and beverage taxes are not new, and since national repeal, nearly all states where liquor Is sold now realize something in the way of taxes. Neither inheritance nor Income taxes are uncommon.

All states have the former and the latter has been called into use often In the lost decade as state expenses increased. A hangover from war days, amusement luxury taxes exist in several states. Admission tickets, cosmetics, sporting goods, camera films and the like are Included. A newer addition to this group is the gambling tax.

Approval of the national PWA office will come In the form of notice to proceed with letting the contract.

The board of local improvements will proceed, then, with the understanding that the PWA will make up the deficit. It was discovered on opening of bids that cost of construction would total more than the entire fund the city now has available for the In presenting their case before the state PWA officers Wednesday the city's representatives pointed to rises in wage levels and material costs, the high stage of the river and the sales tax as factors in the difference between the engineer's estimate, prepared in 1930 as a basis for financing, and the bids opened June 27. They also stressed demands from the Illinois Department of Health that the city improve Its sewage and surface drainage disposal, while Mayor Hamilton described damages to property resulting from inadequacy of the present system.

In addition, $1,575,301.83 of sales tax money has been paid into the treasury under protest this year. These figures indicate that, if retail sales stay at the present level, the new three per cent sales tax will bring in approximately $20,000,000 annually for relief. Motor fuel and motor, vehicle taxes for 1935 have been running less than half a million dollars ahead of 1934, but the state's nue from legal liquor took a jump from $3,106,498.56 to $4,616,883.95.
