TAKING MORTGAGES OF LOAN AssOCIA-
TInNS


We respectfully, but firmly, decline to accept
the theory that the mortgages OF the Loan As
sociations should not be exempted from tax,
unless everybody's mortgages are-in other
words that no discrimination should be made in
favor Of the Loan Associations. The contrary
opinion we hold most earnestly and we advise
all those who are interested in the Loan AS
sociatons to insist that not one cent Of taxation
shall be laid upon them, in any manner, what
ever.
There are two excellent reasons for the posi-
ton thus taken. The first is that no revenue
system ought to tax the processes of Economy,
s1ch as these which are organized under the
name Of Loan Associations. 1t is always the
duty OF those who levy taxes to 80 discriminate
as to promote the public prosperity, TO draw
revenue from wealth, and to relieve poverty and
bare sufficiency as far as possible. Hence we
tax luxuries heavily, and the necessities Of life
not at ALL This is the policy which puts fifty
cents on every gallon of whisky, but removes
the duty from tea and coffee. The Instances
are numerous where cities have voted to release
from all taxation for number Of years, new
manufactures Of certain kinds, established
within their limits. So, also it has been es-
teemed sound public policy to exempt churches
schools, and benevolent institutions from taxa
ton. These determinations, We say, are part of
general system, under which wise Legislators
encourage and help just such excellent institu-
tions as these oan-Association-Savin vings-Banks
II anything amongst us deserves encouragement,
they do.
The second reason is equally good. The mort
cages created in the operations OF the Loan AS.
sociations are mere ictions, which only in rare
instances become possessed of the ordinary char
acter Of such instruments. They do not repre-
sent an " investment" at all, in the proper
sense Of that term. Until the Association runs
out, they are simply the pledge of the borrower,
TO be held in trust, (for his own benefit, as we'll
as for that Of the other Members until the pro-
cess of saving the required amount is completed
and the pledge is Cancelled. So long as the bor-
rover continues to make hispayments regularly
the mortgage cannot be foreclosed, if the As
sociation should 'run fol. twenty years,or long
er. In fact, the mortgage is the Association
and the mortgagor is member of the Associa-
tion he gives his obligation, partly, to himself /;
and any tax on it is a tax on him who has bor-
rowed, and an unfair weight on the mere pro-
cess Of saving money. As for the amount
OF tax laid we care nothing. 1t is said by some
that it will not be over $4,000. for each Associa-
ton This is exactly $4,000 too much.

INSURANCE COMPANIES AND SAVINGS
BANKS.

Among other matters which should receive
attention, at the coming session OF tue L gisla-
ture, is law systematizing our insurance BUSH
ness and placing under some supervision the
operations Of the various Companies which assure
upon lives and against losses by FIRE. We need
hardly inform business men how thoroughly and
efficiently the system Of Insurance is organized
by the other States-notably, by Massachusetts,
and New York In Delaware absolutely nothing
has been done in this direction, and there is no
supervision whatever exercised oyer the opera
tiona Of the various Companies. Most Of them
probably all-are solvent, reliable, and con-
Quoted with prudence, but go far as the public
have any good opportunity to know they might
be exactly the opposite. The same remark is
true OF all our Savings institutions, and State
banks, as well as Of the insurance companies.
Whethert be desirable to appoint an Insurance
Commissioner and undertake to organize bu-
reau in the Executive department Of the State
government relating tn these subjects, we are
not prepared to say. We shall be glad to leave to
business men. who feel the necessity for some
better system in these cases, the de-
cision how much should be done. Undoubtedly
however, there ought to be- once year or often.
