The Exemption Of Mortgages in Mary
land


The Baltimore Sun, the leading newspaper
of Maryland. has an interesting review of the
policy of that State in exemptiDg loans upon
mortgage from taxation. The provision of law
is that mortgages upon property wholly with
this State aud the mortgage debts respect
lively secured thereby" are exempt f'om taxa
'tion. This policy was first adopted in 1870,
when it was made applicable to all mortgages,
but subsequent legislation confines it to mort
cages on property wholly within the State.
The Sun says of its success:
All these acts illustrate the policy of the Leg
islature for the past eight or ten years, and are
believed to be thoroughly in accordance with
the enlightened public opinion of the State.
The attempt has been made, but failed to re-
vivs The tax upon mortgages, ,npon the istaken
idea that such tax .ton was necessary to reach
the capital invested 10 mortgages. Experience
has demonstrated, however, that the burden of
such taxation falls not upon the capital, but
upon the land or other property which is the
subject of the mortgage. The borrower has to
pay the mortgage tax, for the simple reason
that no man is compelled TO lend upon mort
gage, that the lender will naturally stipulate to
have his interest clear and free from soy mort
gage tax, aud that any Legislation wheh is de-
signed TO prevent leOders and borrowers from
making their own terms simply results IN max
ing it more difficult to borrow, or in driving
capital out of the State to seek and find
the profitable and safe investment elsewhere
which is denied to it by narrow an d short
sighted legislation az home. Hence the Wis
dom OF exemptiug mortgages from taxation has
been fully appreciated by the Legislature of
our State, and the policy OF the act of 1870 has
been adhered to to the present time. The
taxation of mortgages means double taxation
upon the property Ut those whose necessit e5
com pel them to become borrowers.

THE National Democrat. alluding to the
scene in the House when Mr.. Brown OF Ban
gor shook his fist in another members face,
says it was something new to the House in
latter years. "Tbere was none of that en-
forced restraint on the part of the members
observable under the despotic sway of the
Republican regime" No, it was more like
the good old Democratic days when the
Southerners bullied Congress.
