Open Up- Pay Up- Shut Up You Gotta Pay Your Taxes
Have you been bothered by Douglas county tax assessors? Are you plenty burned up because you have to pay taxes in this county when it isn't even your home? Do you think taxation on personal property is just a scheme operated against University students?
ents have been answering "yes" to the above questions.
Many students have been answ Several have gone to the Douglas County Clerk's office and pushed their arguments. The Lawrence Veteran's Administration office has been the host to many veterans in the mood to dust off their war trophys and start a war against Douglas county.
You had better be careful if you are in such an aggressive mood for the law will be against you. Contrary to current campus rumor, Douglas county is not the only place where you have to pay a personal property tax. It is a nationwide law. You can't escape it.
If you have no property it will only be necessary for you to sign a "no property" statement. The object of the assessment is mainly to tabulate the population of each county, as of the first of March each year. It is not to discriminate against veterans or other students.
You needn't worry about having to pay twice. If you paid property taxes in your home county or state, then you are exempt from payment here. The local office will mail an inquiry to your home and verify your statement. The same goes for automobiles that are owned by parents. The local office will check to see that your parents have paid.
If you refuse to pay your personal taxes, as some K. U. students have done, the authorities can fine you from $10 to $20. Perhaps you'd better hold that temper when the little man comes around.
