Tax That Mortgage.

Now that the Supreme Court has
affirmed that mortgages are property
aud subject TO taxation, we would
call the attention OF our Board Of
EQUALIZATION to that $40, 900 mortgage
OF Wells, Fargo Il Co., on the Star
property. Go for 1t, and don't waste
your time raising some poor devil a
dollar or two oh his hut or tools. 1t
is within the legitimate scope OF your
duty. If the Assessor has failed, 10 see
that this mortgage, which has Kept
hundreds of poor men ont Of their
hard earned wages, be made to figure
on the assessment roll, as il does on
the Recorders books.

The Sierra Valley (Cal.) Leader
thinks that the outlook is not a cheer
ing one for beef consumers. Beef
cattle are scarce and owners are hold.
ing, waiting for an advance, and al
though the price is higher thai last
yer, it is not likely that it will fall
IN the next six months. Last year the
price was considered extremely high,
and in order 10 supply the demand,
many COWS and young stock were
put upon the market and sacrificed.
This has stopped the increase of stock
to some degree, and II will be some
years before slockmen retrieve
this loss 10 their herds. There Is,
~however,a manifest disposition among
ranchers having small farms and
raising asInall surplus OF hay TO raise
II few beef cattle. Al present there ID
money III beef. and realizing that a
number of years must elapse before
prices will depreciate to any extent,
they are raising a few head OF beef
cattle. and in this way 1t Is possible a
beef famine may be averled.

THE BOARD of EQUALIZATION.

erty Values all Along the Line.
HAMILTON, Sept. 10, 1888.
ED. News: The Board Of Equaliza-
ton, which has been in session here
for VI days, gave the assessment
roll a general overhauling, and in
many cases raised values from 20 10
% per cent. For several years it has
been conceded, by all fair-minded
people, that the assessment of prop
erty in II county has been a sham
and a farce. Small owners are usu-
ally assessed pretty close up To the
mark; but oui w~ealthiest citizens have
not been compelled TO contribute their
just share TO the public burden. The
present Board seem inclined to reuIe-
uy this evil, and "a good many OF our
taxpayers will be cited 10 appear be-

their stock for Sl4,0 900, make a return
to the Assessor of only $50 head.
