property returned at its true market value.
Persons not making their returns between January 1st, 1905, and February
0th, 1905, are liable to a penalty of 50 per cent. This penalty will be enforced
gainst delinquents ; for the failure to enforce it heretofore has put a premium

his 50 percent, penalty will correct this evil.
