THE MORTGAGE TAX LAW.
A Practical Application Of Its Repeal
BY an Oregon Farmer Of Prsui-
ueuee and Ability.

EDITOR CAPITAL JOURNAL. AS
there is now considerable discussion
as to the propriefy of repealiug the
mortgage tax law, wish to cali the
atteotion Of tsx-payers In the rural
counties to the manner in which
the repeal will affect them.
Iu the exhibit of the assessmeni
of Polk county as published in the
Statesman of the 2lst instant find
the following: ITO i lamount oftax-
able property of Polk county, So
So, ESQ; total amount of mortgages,
&5l2,415." Soft will be seen that
nearly one fifth Of the taxable prop
erty OF Polk county consists of mort
cages. Repea! this law aud yer,
few of these mortgage will be taxed
In the county, aud at least ole-
sixth of the present ssSessable pirp-
erty of the county will be with
drawn ron the assessment OF nexl
year: and the tax now collected on
this one-sixth will have 10 be placed
on the balance of the property--thai
is, If there YVES no mortgage tax
law.
Each taxpayer in the count,
would have one sixth more TO pay
If his tax is now SO, without til,
law il would be s35. Ii the money
loaned on mortgage earns any prof
by its investment, is not such prof
earned In the county where tia.
mortyage is recorded? And ther,
is where it should he taxed.
Tho clamuring foe the repeal of
the law are not actuated by con-
sideration of justice; but desire t.
have the law direct mortgages to be
taxed in the county where the own
er resides and away from the count,
where the record j.. SO that lik,
other credits, these mortgage secu.
rifles c..u be sec-eted and not taxed
at all, and the tax now fixed OIL
them be loaded on the backs of the
already over-loaded producing
classes. FARMER.

AR CENT NOTES.

As history sometimes says that a
dug is ones best friend, Mrs. Leh-
man considers the loss of her faith
ful dog a great misfortune. He was
killed by falling timber.
On the 18th very strong wind
prevailed along the foothills, blow
ing down a large number of o'd
snags of trees. They tumbled 50
fast that one could not count them
aud a great many are lying across
the public road. This is the third
time this year the road has been OBJ
structed by old logs, SO we think
this Is little more than our share.

LEOPOLD wrLKE ON TRIAL.

SEATTLE, Oct. 23.-rhe case of
Leopold WilSe, charged with man
slaughter iu cIusing the death of G..
Hautf IN the Zur Quelle saloon at
Front aud Pike streets in June last,
was tried before Judge Humes. A
number of witne ses testified that
in their opinion the shooting had
not been premeditated. Hanff and
several fIiends entered the saloon
and called for drinks, which were
furnished by Wilke. The party
was in a jolly msod aud Hanti
lauyhiugly asked Wllke what he
would do if he didn't pay him.
Wilke laughed and picked up a
.iouple-acting revolver from behind
the bar aud said that the weapon
was kept for men who did not pay
their bills.
The whole crowd was in the best
of humo and everybody supposed
The men were joking. Suddenly
he pistol was discharged, and Hanff
ell to the floor with bullet in his
mead. The jury acquitted him.
TACOMA FULL oFPErrY CRIMINALS
A DEATH.
TACOMA. Oct. 23-The city is full
OF class vi petit larceny thieves.
scarcely a day passes but what the
police make severa, arrests oi this
class OF Offenders. They are tried
and convicted aud serve on, their
shoct term on .he city chain gang or
in he counlv jail. The value Of
the stolen articles Is, rs Il rule, insi.-
nificLnt and the punishment inflict-
ed for the crime does not seem to de-
ter Others from stea'ing whatever
they can lay their hands on. The
urrest of the Gardner gang few
nignts ago ut the Humboldt house
was one of tile best hauls made for
q long time by the force and they
believe that the taking of the pici-
ures of the gang will have much to
do toward stopping this class of theft
In Tacoma, at least for some time TO
come.
Dunko men have also been numer-
Gus. Several of the most experi-
euced ''staerers" are now in the
city, and have been here for weeks.
They rarely ever travel In groups,
mUst OF the steering being done
singly and alone. Those who were
bnnkoed were mostly from the coun-
try, but several city chaps are known
to have fallen victims To the wies OF
this class of criminals. Since the
robbery of Thomas Scbaefer at the
,Damfino SALOON few weeks ago
their work has been more quietly
conducted.

derstand, however, that the meeting
was very poorly attended by citizens

was suggested that the matter be in
definitely postponed. Messrs. Picker

others met late in the afternoon and
elected officers for the ensuing year,
leaving the matter of holding u fair
this fall at Baxter Springs to be dis

II the people of this city manifest as
much Indifference in the matter at the

the matter will be dropped and there
will be no fair held in the county this
