The subject OF homestead and other
.exemptionsis one which was too iIghtly
treated Iby the delegates in conventl on
IsOf late wears. legislatures have shown
o disposition to extend these exemp-
tions, and the cour'ts IRE manIfesping
the same disposition by a liberal con
-struction of the law. This has been
done ON the ground that tits the pohcy
of the State TO extend these exenlp-
tions. The convention, therefore, but
confirmed this idea of the policy 'of
the State by increasing the 'exemP-
tions,. and the courts will certainty
continue to give these laws the most
liberal interpretation.
We fear that in endeavorIng to pro
teot The poor man, they viii rum hmm.
Most of the poor have small tracts
worth less than $4,000. While tins
property lis exempt, no man will lend
money ON mortgage, and it often hap
pens chat the poor farmer has the land
and no means to work it. Faxes are
levied, and all goes to decay because
the exemptions laws prevent him from
borrowing. Capitalists lock up their
money, and are at a loss for invest
ments, because the homestead law
,deprives them of their security This
law does not benefit the honest, be
cause If in debt and unable to pay,
they will sell their property to save
their name; but the villain is eneour-
aged to borrow and fall back on his
exemption. Hence capital is retired
and the prosperity of the couptrg
seriously affected.
