The Auditor General Complains of a Falling Off In Taxes. EXPLICIT INSTRUCTIONS GIYEN. The State Officials Intimate That the Law Requiring a Return of Moneyed In terests is Being Evaded and Call Attention to the Penalties. Speelnl t" ICvkniso Ilr.UAl.n. Porrsvitxi:, Nov.10. The Auditor General lias called the County Commissioners to ox- plain why thero lias been sucli a decrease in tho return of moneyed interests in Schuyl kill county. InlSOltlio returns aggregated $3,G23,4K1 and in 1805 they fell to 3,1171,830. Tins mado a decrease in tho state tax of $2,011,53. Tho Attorney General intimates Hint he believes many taxables are playing shy of the requirements of law. This county is evidently not the only one that lias bIiowii a decrease, as the County Commissioners throughout tho stato have re ceived from tho Auditor General, blanks relative to tho work of assessors. Iilaliks havo also been forwarded to bo dis tributed among the soveral assessors of tho county in the snrinc of 1800. prior to tho time of making tho assessment. Tho blanks for return of personal nrouertv. subject to a state tax, have been revised, giving full instructions, arranged in such a way that olllccr and taxivnyers will eco just what property is to be returned, including many items which havo heretofore been omitted. TIioso blanks must bo placed by the several assessors in tho hands of every taxable person or corporation in tho county, and it will bo the duty of the assessor to seo that they (the taxable persons and corpora tions) shall respectively make returns. The act of Juno 8, 1801, is quoted and any taxable or assessor violating any of the pro visions of tho act will bo guilty of a misde meanor, according to section, 13, which provides: "That any willful failure on the part of the county commissioners, hoard or revision of taxes, ward, borough and town ship assessors, recorders of deeds, prothono- tarics and clerks of courts, to carry out tho dutios imposed upon them by the several sections of this act, shall bo deemed a mis demeanor, and upon conviction thereof the person or persons bo failing to comply shall bo sentenced to a fine not exceeding flvo hundred dollars and cecding one year.'" Imprisonment not .ex- Whilst tho duty incumbent on the part of me assessor ana commissioners Is imperative,, tho taxpayer is no less liable for neglect of duty. Section 3 of tho net provides : "And any person or ollicor who shall willfully and corruptly make a false aud fraudulent return as aforesaid shall bo guilty of willful and cor rupt perjury, and upon his or her conviction thereof shall bo sentenced to pay a flue not exceeding foOf), and undergo an imprisonment by separate aud solitary confinement at labor not exceeding seven years, and thereupon be forever disqualified from being a witnosB in. any matter or controversy." Tho county commissioners aro required to. destroy all old personal property blanks, and in lieu thereof new return sheets are provided, which aro quito mi improvement on the old sheet, inasmuch as tho average taxpayer can better understand tho schedule of proporty subject to taxation for state purposes. The new instructions will give tho assessor an important and responsible duty to per form and ho will be required, tu.be particular. LIVELY BUSINESS HERE.
