his own reputation and desires to leave n

railroad under such circumstances? 1t
seems to Us that the tendency, the actual

Taxation of 1sOrtgages,


The Supreme court of California has de-
cided that the taxation of mortgage on
land, or the money secured thereby, and
the taxation of the lanl is double taxation,
and therefore unconstitutional, The court
in summing mp the opinion says
conclude therefore, that tax on loans
made in the usual cogrseOf business Is paid
by the borrower, and if the debt he secured
by mortgage he also pays the tax on the
mortgagcd property. lie is twice taxed -
once ON the property and once on the debt
which the property represents and yet no
no new value has been created by the
transaction lie il no richer and has no
more property than he had before; and if
the money which he received from the
lender remained in his hands ii is also
taxed. If the money has passed into the
possession of another Taxpayer, il is taxed
in his hands so tina. the property and the
money are each separately taxed and ii
the mere promise or obligation of the Dor
rover to repay the money is also taxed and
the tax is paid by him, as it must he, it is
clear that he has been twice taxed ON the
same value or subject-matter. This Is Il
violation Of that clause of the constitution
which requires that taxation shall be equal
and uniform, and that property shall be
taxed in proportion to its value. When
the mortgaged property has once paid it,
tax ii has dicharged its obligation to tho
state, and the owner of it cannot, and in
justice ought not, to be subjected to an
other tax, merely because he has borrowed
sum of money for which the property il
pledged as security.
