grew on the land, indicating moisture.

find moist earth within two or three

ization have increased the taxable value
Of mortgages in this county fifteen per
cent. Thus. if a taxpayer has loaned
$4,000, and for security has taken mort
gage on real estate, he must pay tax
on $4,000. This very peculiar statement
would seem to be founded on misappre-

had been added 10 the face value Of his
mortgages. Since then we see that the
San Francisco bankers have refused to
submit to the imposition, and that case
is being prepared for the Supreme Court
which will test the validity of the State
Boards action in increasing the value of
